Product review (4 stars): Will Pay for Itself
I have had mine for years! I got my Wonder Washer when I went from a home back to an apartment (back in 2005/2006) and it paid for itself quickly. I stopped using it when I used to have to travel for work all the time (I'd have about a week home in a month; not consecutive days)so by the time I would get home, I'd end up with a huge pile of laundry! Because of this, I stopped using this little guy so that I could get my mountains done faster in the laundry room. Unfortunately the complex I live in now has two washers for approx. 25 apartments. There are times when it's taken me up to a week just to get a load of laundry in (unless I want to stay awake for all hours of the day to beat someone else to the washers). I've started using my Wonder Washer again (2012) and it's been a real life saver especially when I'm about to run out of clean undies! I'm saving money using this which is great since they just raised my rent again!

I fill mine up in the bathtub and run it sitting on a memory foam bath mat on the floor. I agree with everyone else that the lid is a joke, I use it is to prevent water from flying out of the bucket while its running and then to use it as a tray for my clothes to still rinse.

I have had this little washer for years and it's still running strong! It was definitely a wise investment.
