Product review (3 stars): Great washer bad handle
I was expecting this to be smaller than it actually is.
The handle is short, about the same length as a toilet plunger. I agree with many reviews that it would be nice to have a little bit longer handle for standing. I tend to sit outside and use it and wish the handle was padded or some other material other that wood because it is rough on the hands. It is also a good arm workout if you are doing a lot of laundry. and getting the right amount of water for optimal cleaning took a little time to figure out. I did not like using this in a 5 gallon bucket I found the clothing was not getting as clean as I would like in that. I found a rubbermaid tote, round wash tub, or open drink tub. The main disappointment with this item and the reason it is only 3 starts is the handle design. During the washing process the handle kept loosening so I had to twist the handle as I was washing or it would fall off. Not very convenient I am going to try some plumbers tape to see if that will help keep the handle on. If it does I will re post. The other issue is during the first use the handle started splintering and I was picking wood out of my hand. So I would recommend getting the one through Amazon that did not have the handle and get your oun from the hardware store.
