Wonder Clean Washer

I can't speak for the build quality as I only used it twice now.It shipped with a severe plastic/epoxy odor which was easily remedied by a bit of water and laundry soap. It feels cheap, but provided the seals hold I don't get the impression it'll break. That said, the resulting light weight is appreciated.It lacks the lower drainage tube of the (original?) WonderWash, but that's a terribly slow way to drain gallons of water with wet clothes clogging the way and I prefer to just dump the water.It turns pretty easily. The rubber stops at the bottom do a well enough job of holding it in place but you'll still want one hand on the base, one on the crank when washing. This is best used in a spot where it's ok to get a bit wet, if not a bathtub then at least a sink area.Most importantly, it DOES clean quite well. Filled half with water and a pretty small amount of liquid detergent it cleaned 3 shirts, 2 kind of nasty rags and my boxers as well as I'd come to expect my washing machine to. I go a bit longer than they recommend, maybe 3 minutes or so turning, and a minute on a rinse.I just fit a queen sized sheet in it without a problem, but I would call that about the limit, including water and space to move during cleaning.This, paired with a wringer or spin dryer is certainly an effective alternative to a full sized washer or trip to the laundromat for most needs. What it lacks in size it makes up for in speed, and I'll be using it instead of my machine machine most of the time for that reason alone.Edit: 2 months of regular use and it's doing fine. I've been doing whites or smaller loads in it while the normal washer does the bulk of my clothing, about twice week or so and it's been great. My whites never amount to a full sized load and sometimes I have time and I prefer to just get the laundry done in a few minutes before it adds up to a "washer" sized load. I'm starting to think I'd have appreciated a draining hole at the bottom like the real Wonderwash so I could leave it in the bath tub to drain and get back to it, but overall it's a great addition/alternative for my laundry.

-Cheaper make of the WonderWash for about the same price-Has no spout attachment making it too messy for a counter top-Feels like it is falling apart as it is being used- Hard to tell when it is properly assembled before washingI feel a little ripped off because I thought I was getting Laundry Alternative's WonderWash. I instead payed about the same price for a cheaper version of the same machine. This product works. However, it has no spout for easy draining making it difficult to use outside of a shower or bathtub, it is quite difficult to tell when you have properly applied/sealed the top and it feels and sounds like it may fall apart at any minute. These things might be a little less bothersome if I knew I was getting a knock off and had payed half as much. That being said, if I knew this was a knock off and the real thing was $10-20 more expensive, I would have less money in the bank right now and a WonderWash in my kitchen. This type of machine is a great alternative to the modern washer/laundromat. It seems to work as well as the WonderWash. I just doubt it will last as long.

This thing is laughable, how dumb of me to buy it. It would be easier and work better to use a bucket. The stand is so light that you have to hold it down when turning only then your arm is in the way of the crank so you can't turn the thing. I was hopeful it would work and glad I paid so little for it. :-(

I got this (along with the electric spinner) for my birthday! I am a single Mom of two boys (4y and 1y) and we don't have a conventional washer and dryer. This is SO great!! I do a small load, or two every day and I don't get backed up. I also use cloth diapers and this works great for them as well! The only thing I have found that it doesn't wash is large blankets and comforters. I do queen size sheets, plus size women's clothes, baby clothes, children's clothes and cloth diapers. I have also done towels!! A load takes about 6 mins. In a large load I can typically fit, one pair of women's pants, two women's sweaters, two women's cotton shirts, baby cotton one piece pajamas, one pair of cotton children's pants and a Superman cape (that is the load I have going right now!!)! I use just a tablespoon or so of liquid detergent and rinse twice! I also purchased the electric spinner [...] and I have also provided a review there!! This thing is GREAT!!! Totally worth the money!!
