Product review (5 stars): Quiet, the Clothes Are Spinning!
Of course you want to hand wash a few items! You know you do! Now, if you are on board here--got your bathtub nearby, your eBay vintage mini washboard, your peppermint Dr. what'shisname Soap, some plastic or aluminum hangers & somewhere to hang them--all you need is a way to get that stuff dry as quickly as possible. This. Thing. Is. Awesome! Spins the daylights outta those clothes! (Did I mention you need electricity to plug it in? If that's a deal-breaker, I'm sorry...back to the hand-wringer.)  Put an old yogurt container under the spout to catch the water.
Now that I have waxed enthusiastic, be forewarned: don't put any terribly fragile or fussy items in. No. This is for your every day undies, some socks maybe, a couple of small towels. NOT for your valuables. I use it for my long sleeve lightweight thermal shirts since in cold weather I use them a lot.
Use your common sense: if you would spin it in your clothes washer, it will survive. Otherwise, no.
