Product review (5 stars): I love this little guy
I love this little guy. I live in a very old building in Detroit without any laundry services. It fits about 10 t shirts and a pair of pants per one load. I spend my Wednesdays after working doing laundry in my kitchen. Very easy to crank and drain, but it took me the hang of inserting the drain tube without causing leaks. I highly suggest putting a towel under the machine to avoid getting a small puddle on your counter the first few times. I set up a retractable clothes line above my bathtub and it's been working out great. Laundry at the local mat is $3, so this thing has already paid for itself. I will also say don't be afraid to do a handful of rinse cycles. I typically do about 4 rinse cycles, just to be sure all the soap is out. Otherwise it gives me the same clean a traditional washer gives, with the added exercise of cranking. If you're apartment living, definitely invest in this thing (or put it on your birthday or Christmas list)!
