Product review (4 stars): So far so good. I wish it was a little sturdier
I wanted to save money on laundry. I live in an NYC apartment so I have to go to the laundromat every week. I am a stay at home mom of two so I do about 2 loads every day. Definitely a money saver especially for a single person. I wish I knew about this before when i was single and hand washing half the time. I figured I spent $10 a week on average so if I stick to this for a month it would pay for itself. So far so good. I wish it was a little sturdier. I have to hold the base with one hand and turn with the other. I turn for 1 minute then let it sit for a bit then turn another minute or two. I use hot tap water and a little soap. Voila! Don't overdo the soap you'll just need to rinse more. I do feel like I'm saving on soap. I'm not too sure of the water saving but I don't pay for water either way. I love that it's not electric so saving there too with the same convenience of having a washer at home. I wring out by hand or let it drip in the tub and them transfer to a drying rack. I wish it was a little bigger too but then it might be a bit much for the shoulder/arms. Much easier than scrubbing by hand. I tried the bucket and plunger thing as well and this definitely beats it. Does get my clothes clean. Of course pretreat as usual. I have high hopes for this one :)
