Product review (5 stars): Works great!
Even after purchasing this item and the positive reviews, we were skeptical of whether it would work or not. We planned to use it for our cloth diapers, as we have a communal washing machine in our apartment building, but was hesitant to use it in fears of what others would think. And to think that we had to lug cloth diapers up and down the stairs with my baby strapped to my front! No, that wasn't going to happen.

We purchased this model that comes WITHOUT the handle - we figured out very quickly that a plunger handle does not fit (oddly), but a broom handle does. We bought a cheap broom at Walmart with a plastic handle for $5 and used the handle for the mobile washer. We also purchased a large bucket, the one from home improvement stores. We tried this mobile washer for the first time yesterday and to our surprise, it seemed to wash better than a HE washer! With very minimal force (at least, less than what we had anticipated), a good amount of air gets pushed through the fabric as your pledge away. There were lots of suds for very little detergent. The broom handle worked well as it was long enough and my husband didn't have to kneel down to plunge, and was able to give more force per plunge. The only issue is that the washer would unscrew from the broom handle after a few plunges, as I guess the plunging action twisted the apparatus. Not a biggie in my books.

I think this product will definitely get good use with our cloth diapers, and probably with some baby clothes and towels if we need them in a pinch. We plan to purchase a spin dryer, as wringing out the diapers was a lot of work...
