Product review (4 stars): Pretty Good but not Great
I received my Wonder Washer today and since I have washed 5 loads thus far I wanted to give my review of it.

Let me start by saying that I take clean clothes VERY seriously and will judge a product quite harshly. It took me over 8 months to decide to actually purchase this item after doing constant research on it. As of date I have the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wonderwash/dp/B002C8HR9A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wonderwash</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wonder-Washer/dp/B000BTDNEK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wonder Washer</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rapid-Washer-DIY-Manual-Hand-Washing-Machine/dp/B002QUAPSO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rapid Washer - DIY Manual Hand Washing Machine</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Mini-Countertop-Spin-Dryer-Clothes-Spin-Dryer-Portable-Clothes-Dryer/dp/B002HT0958/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Mini Countertop Spin Dryer Clothes Spin Dryer Portable Clothes Dryer</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Centrifugal-Clothes-Portable-Spin-Dryer/dp/B002GEDBIG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Centrifugal Clothes Portable Spin Dryer</a>. No, I do not just like to spend money, they all serve a purpose which I will explain in this review.

If I were reviewing this washer without having used the Wonder Wash then the rating would be higher then it is. It cleans quite well, does not make a lot of noise and can handle all temperatures of water.

Since I had done extensive research on the wonder washer I was already very aware that it looked like a beach bucket on top of a pedestal so unlike some reviewers that didn't bother me at all. It's not heavy which is a plus since you may be toting it around to add water and dump water. I'm 6 months pregnant and carrying the Wonder Washer didn't cause me any concerns.

I have washed gentle (cold), daily delicates (warm), plus some very soiled t-shirts (super hot) and they all came out very clean.

There is no automatic draining on the Wonder Washer nor is there a spin cycle (which I knew in advance) so that may bother some people but didn't bother me.  The one thing that does bother me is how few clothes you can put in the Wonder Washer. That is why I couldn't give it a better score. My first load was 2 large cotton heavy duty t-shirts and a regular shirt and it seems to be all the little fella could take.

My Wonder Wash (hand crank machine) holds 5 lbs of clothing and the Wonder Washer only holds 2 lbs of clothing. That is a major difference. In the 5 loads that I have just washed I could have easily done the same amount in the Wonder Wash with two loads and the clothes (warm and hot) would have gotten just as clean in only 2 minutes (not an exaggeration) vs the 15 minutes per load in this machine.

I'm sure you may be asking yourself "If the Wonder Wash cleaned so well why did she purchase the Wonder Washer"? Well, let me tell you. I don't feel comfortable with the cleaning of the Wonder Wash (hand crank one) with cold water only since it is a pressure washer and didn't want my clothing to shrink or fade having to constantly use hot water. Also, there are some stains that the Wonder Wash couldn't blast completely out and having the option of more agitation instead of me scrubbing out the stain in the sink by hand was an added bonus.

Rinsing is never an issue for me since I use the rapid washer and a 5 gallon bucket. It takes very little effort and it gets all of the soap out very quickly.

So all in all yes I do recommend this product and will not be returning it because it does what it claims and quite well. If this were the only mini washer that I had purchased up to this point then I would be giving it 5 stars. It is worth the money.

BTW, I have a 3 (almost 4) family household and don't find doing laundry in these machines to be too much to handle at all in case you're wondering if you can clean for an entire family with a small machine. :-)
