Product review (5 stars): Uh Oh! Out of clean underwear!
I am so pleased with this purchase.  It's small (about the same size as the bucket you'd associate with a nonprofessional "mop and bucket" set), inexpensive, doesn't violate my New York City lease terms ("no washers") because it doesn't hook up to plumbing, and it really really works.

I don't have a washer - but now I do for emergencies or small loads!

I just washed about a dozen pairs of underwear, 5 pairs of socks, and two camisoles. Threw it in the bucket (it fit easily), added hot water, a bit of detergent, and ran it for 15 minutes.  The load got very clean, smelled clean and fresh.  That's what I cared most about.  I have never been able to effectively get things clean soaking or handwashing in the sink, so if there's ever anything I needed - a favorite shirt, or clean underwear/socks, it always meant a trip to the laundromat.  And that's a hassle if not otherwise needed.  This is easy - It takes no more than 5 minutes of your actual attention. (load and start, then 15 minutes later rinse/wring/hang.  Done)

Yes, when it's done, you were need to rinse off the clothing, wring it out, and put it on a drying rack.  I don't mind that given that my use for this is basically small things.  Frankly, I'm glad I don't have to send my underwear to someone else to clean anymore.  I'll let them do my sheets/towels/dry cleaning and other bigger clothing items, but the small stuff is easy and convenient to manage at home so long as it actually gets clean and doesn't take too much time.  And it does!

I don't know what I'd improve about this system.  If people want to talk about rinse and spin cycles, they're talking about the real thing.  This doesn't pretend to be that - Think of it as a blender that really gets your underwear and tshirts very clean as long as you're willing to rinse off the soap and toss on a clothing rack.

I don't hesitate to recommend this.  Along with my countertop dishwasher, I feel like I've escaped the biggest pains of living in a new york city brownstone.
