Product review (5 stars): It's "hand washing" without using your hands.
First off, this is NOT a major washing machine.

It's for doing a dozen socks, or a shirt, or a couple pair of undies.
With that in mind. . .  this is GREAT.

For me, I found it works best ON THE FLOOR, next to the Shower.
Just fill 1/2 to 2/3 full with water and items.
Leave in "ON" all the time.  Turn the timer on for up to 15 minutes.

Lid locks on, so when 15 min up, pick up the bucket thing, and drain into the shower thru the lid.
Lid has drain areas on 2 sides.
Since it's already ON THE FLOOR, it is NO BIG DEAL to pick up, and drain upside down into the shower.
Wring out clothes (optional)

Fill back up with clean water and run again for 5 min or so to rinse.
Dump in shower.

Let sit upside down in shower for 10 min and MOST of the water will be gone.
Wring out by hand.
Hang up to dry.

I used WAY too much soap the first time, so just a drop if liquid.  You can always add more.

I am WAY LOVING this thing.

Not good for Jeans, but anything smaller will work to get you thru the week.
