Th Wondereasher worked so much better than I ever thought it would!  The drum capacity is quite large so we were able to fit many small items (like clothes) into a single load.  We probably washed 3-4 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of jeans, 4-5 tops and a bunch of underwear and socks at once. It’s a bit more challenging to wash bulky items like towels or sheets because the opening at the top of the unit is a bit small.  The unit itself was easy to assemble and came with very good instructions on how to use and the ratio of waterdetergent for each load.  When not in use we store this in our closet. The one thing I find challenging is that there is no way to spin or wring your clothes so after you wash and rinse this has to be done manually. Clothes are obviously very very wet and take a while to dry.  All in all though - very happy with our purchase.
