My sons play baseball and we often travel to out of town tournaments that span 2-3+ days.  Earlier this season our hotel laundry room was "out of order" and we had to scramble and rely on other families to help us with our laundry.  This portable machine has been an absolute game changer for us.  The machine is small and packs well. It hooks up easily into the hotel sink and we always have a clean uniform.  Very happy with our purchase.
