Product review (1 stars): How did this get great reviews?
I have to wonder how on earth did this get so many good reviews???  When I graduated from college I was barely scrapping by.  This was well over 10 years ago.  I purchased this thing because it was a money saver and I figured it would be really convenient for me.  Even though you can wash SOME clothes I have to say it was a true hassle to turn having to bend over the tub just in case this would be messy.  I will admit, it never leaked but you really had to have some strong arm muscle to turn this a certain amount of times.  Not to mention the fact that having to remove the wet clothes and needing to put in clean water for rinse wasn't fun either.  After you think your clothes are clean you have to single handedly wring out your clothes.  If you don't have an old fashion clothes wringer you're screwed.  You also have to have some arm and hand strength in order to wring out the excess water too.  Needless to say I just sucked it up, gathered quarters and went to the laundromat.  I chucked this so-called washer and never regretted it.  Now that I'm older and is about to get my own apt. until I can get a better home that will have a washer and dryer hookup I still wouldn't purchase this thing.  You'd be better off washing your clothes by hand.
