Product review (5 stars): Awesome Small Portable Washer!!!  Really Works!!!
I found this little washer to be great!  I simply put it into my tub, fill it with warm water and a small amount of detergent and I can do lots of laundry, small increments at a time.  It's pretty powerful!  It twirls the clothes one way, then stops and twirls the clothes in the opposite direction.  I have found that 3 minutes is sufficient.  If there are stubborn stains, I simply  pretreat the stains then add the garment to the water and everything comes out super clean.  To drain I just lay the hose down and the water comes out.  However, if I turn the knob to DRAIN it super drains!  So I guess it has a pump.  I also bought the Laundry Alternative Nina Soft Spin Dryer as well to extract all the water out of the wet clothes.  Both work exceptionally well!  I bought this 8.8 lb capacity and am glad I did for it holds lots more than the smaller washers available.  Am very pleased with the Della Electric Small washer.  I intend to use it in my RV while camping and occasionally in my home to speed up the washing process rather than always using the front loaders that take over an hour to wash. Great product!
