It's small, lightweight, an the drum holds detergent, softener, and Lysol laundry sanitizer when I transport it. I'm still cranking my washing when I rent a place with no washer and dryer, and still delighted. I hand wring everything still, and have upgraded from rope in a closet to a collapsible clothes tree I spotted at a big box store. See the latest picture. That way, I can dry outside if the weather is compatible, but easy enough o do inside as well. I figure the Wonder Wash has saved me about 80 trips to a laundromat. Fantastic! ------------------------------------- Holy wonderful washing unit! I really cannot tell you how impressed I am, but I am sure going to try. I've had the Wonderwash for about a week now and I've done laundry every other day. It's so quick and easy that I start it while waiting for my coffee to brew, let it drain while I make breakfast, do a rinse run while my eggs finish cooking, plate up my food while it drains, rinse one more time, and eat my meal while it drains the final time. It doesn't even need that final rinse, I'm just picky. It is absolutely perfect for my scrubs. I can wash and hang a couple of uniforms every couple of days and never run out again. No more waiting for the laundry room in my apartment to have a free machine. I've converted a closet into a make shift drying area with dollarstore plastic drop cloth, clothesline, and clothespins. This machine has successfully washed scrubs, delicate, jeans, workout clothes, towels, sheets, and tonight I ran my tennis shoes through it! The absolute success of it, across the board, has me writing this review while it drains. The machine is almost entirely plastic so it is super light weight. It snaps together easily for use. It uses very little water and detergent. Best of all, it really cleans. When not in use, I wipe the drum dry and stash it in the same closet I use to hang clothes. This is a must have for travel nurses. No more hunting for open laundromats at 2am, or checking the facilities machines every hour hoping to get some laundry done. I see this being great for camping too. I can't wait to take it on a trip. For now, it certainly sees enough use. Love love love this. TIPS AND TRICKS (Because I can find a dozen reviews and very little advice) °Add water and soap before clothes. Keep a hand towel nearby for inevitable dribbles. °If using hot water, pressure builds up (that's a feature, not a bug!) and sometimes the lid will start to leak. After a few turns, release the lid, lock it back down, and keep going. You may have to do this a couple times based upon how hot the water is. °This is where that hand towel comes in. Give the drum a quick wipe to reduce splatter. °Use a permanent marker to indicate the grooves on the drainage tube (see picture). This saves you the messy fumble of trying to line it up while water leaks everywhere. °Use less water to rinse than you did to wash. The clothes are already wet, and too much water causes the unit to wobble and thud loudly when it is turned. I have found that my rinse cycles take about half the water of my wash cycle. °Wash with hot and rinse with cold to save the "lid dribbles" when you don't need them! I rinse twice. After my wash, I add a spoonful of fabric softener to the first rinse, and plain water to my second. My clothes smell fantastic. °If you are line or coat-hanger-drying indoors, set up a fan to decrease your drying time exponentially. Also, it makes the whole room smell like clean laundry which is awesome! °Worried you're not rinsing out all the soap? With dry hands, rub your washed clothes between your fingers and then rub your fingers together. If they feel slippery rather than just wet, rinse again. And stop using so much soap, jeez. Hope that helps. Review: My only complaint is that I overpaid by not waiting until the machine was less in demand. Other than that, it's a great purchase and it's *still* worth the every penny I paid. Came earlier than the shipping date, too. It was easy to assemble. It's light enough to lug around easily, does a good wash and winds up being a lot less work than slugging clothes off to the laundry room/shop once you get into the routine of it. There's a learning curve but I truly do not understand much of the complaining. It does as good a job on clothes as most commercial washers and since you can adjust what you are doing--better in many case-- as well as adjust how you want to use your laundry products to suit your needs and how long you want your soak cycles to be. Hello, kitchen timer! SOME TIPS 'N' TRICKS: ***If the crank is too difficult to turn then you have a water/clothes ratio problem.*** (I see this complaint here, a lot) Either add more water or take out some clothes. I'm prehistoric with arthritis and I can wash a thin cotton double duvet cover in it, so young'uns have no excuse ;) This will hold *5lbs* of clothes so you certainly can wash at least one pair of jeans. Make sure to use enough water to compensate for the weight when the jeans absorb water, so it will swish about freely. In this, I found the instructions included for the water ratios to be 'way off unless you wanted to work out like Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Pumping Iron". Swish the soap/bleach/stain remover, in. Then add your clothes. I like to crank 50-60 turns, leave it for 15 minutes to soak then crank another 50-60 turns before putting it in the spinner. I call this 'my lazy way of getting the cleanest clothes with the least effort.' Be careful with chlorine bleach and soaking because it can bleach unevenly. Unless you want to double the job--as soon as you can afford it, get a spinner or wringer. :) Also, you can soak your clothes in fabric softener after cranking for 15-30 rounds if you really want them to be soft and absorb the fragrance. Go play a video game or read or watch TV for 20-30 minutes while they absorb your fav scent and soften. Give another few cranks. Since you are soaking clothes in it, not just running it through like in a regular washer, you will go through a lot less fabric softener. Keep a big car sponge handy for dribbles and wiping. It's also good for drying out the barrel at the end of your loads. Put a rag or flat sponge under the drain pipe attachment because as you pull it in and out, there will be a bit of drippage. On your first try, best to keep a few big towels around as you get used to it. Better safe than sorry if you don't batten down the lid properly when learning. After you get the hang of it, you'll be fine. The Drain Plug: I found this doesn't stay attached to the drain hole so take it out before you wash/rinse. However, if you want good drainage then just pop it under your wet clothes in the bottom of the barrel when you want to drain and the drainage will work great. If your place is like mine and there isn't enough quite enough counter space to keep from banging the machine into the cupboards, you can try setting a big towel under a large board (to keep it from slipping while you crank) and putting the machine on top of the board to give you that extra inch of clearance away from the cupboard doors. This is also handy if that's the reason you're trying to bend over and do your laundry in the bathroom which I see a lot in videos. (That's why I had to stop using a plunger type washer. Too much lifting wet clothes in the tub) Using an old hose or kitchen tap shower hose to fill the tank rather than lifting jugs of water can also save you some arm and back strain. You can save on soap and laundry products too because it doesn't require much cleaning product when you can give your clothes a bit of a soak as well as washing. Well, I hope that helps. I've been using it several times per week for almost a month now and I find it really is a simple though clever design for laundry once I figured out a few tricks to make it easy! ## Features - Portable and Stylish Retro Design - for convenient space-saving placements. Our manual washer is ideal for small delicates such as, woolens, silks, knitted dresses, cashmere garments, and diapers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002C8HR9A | | Access Location | Top Load | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Capacity | 5 Pounds | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (2,729) | | Date First Available | 2 June 2022 | | Item Weight | 2.49 Kilograms | | Material Type | ABS | | Model Info | Wonderwash | | Noise | 50 Decibels | | Part Number | Wonderwash | | Product Dimensions | 40.64 x 30.48 x 30.48 cm; 2.49 kg | | Special Features | Portable | | Standard Cycles | 1 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | ## Product Details - **Access location:** Top Load - **Capacity:** 5 Pounds - **Colour:** White - **Cycle options:** Spin - **Special features:** Portable ## Images ![The Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Non-electric Portable Com - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41UZKArf5+L.jpg) ![The Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Non-electric Portable Com - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jbo3U3ghL.jpg) ![The Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Non-electric Portable Com - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AtoIw32tL.jpg) ![The Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Non-electric Portable Com - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UR72ryhSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***S on 26 June 2017* Four years later and I've bought two more of these to give to travel nurse friends as gifts!
