Product review (5 stars): Actually Impressed for Once
Buying this had a dual value for me. First it is a great off the grid solution but I also needed something to wash my delicates in that didn't take the time that hand washing takes. I've done two loads in this now and I'm actually impressed. I put my clothes in and washed them. Needless to say that it took 3 washes to get all of the soap residue out from previous washes in a machine. To test that I was actually seeing residue from previous washes, I also did a load of "clean" clothes that were hanging in my closet. Same results so if you're concerned that this will actually clean your clothes, it will.

It says it will hold 5 lbs of clothing, but honestly I would not fill it up completely. It is small so doing that would very likely prevent your clothing from tumbling freely and getting clean. I was able to wash 6 pair of plus sized leggings in one load with no issues.

For folks who are saying that their clothing is sopping wet, of course it is. You just washed them. Allow your rinse water to drain (tip the unit backwards to help the draining process along) then put the lid back on. Tumble it a few times and drain again. You will be effectively spinning it out. Repeat as many times as you personally feel necessary and hang dry.

All in all, we will be buying at least one more to have on hand. I feel that doing laundry in an off the grid situation for a family would be hard with only one due to the small size. With two or three though, it would definitely be doable.
