Product review (5 stars): WonderWash, an honest review. What it is and what it isn't.
I have been having so much fun with this little washer today. What it is and what it's not, IMHO. I did several loads of wash today and was really surprised at how much this little washer actually holds. I travel in an RV and usually only wash a few items at a time and often like to boon dock so this seemed like something I should check out and I'm glad I did. But before I get to high on praise let me clear a up few things. If you are really expecting to wash a load of clothes clean in 3 minutes buy sloshing them around in a bucket, all I can say is dream on dreamer, because you're going to be disappointed.

Example...I threw in a couple of jeans shorts, 2 tops 3 or 4 pair of socks and some underwear and they all fit in there very loose and nicely. Let me say that the dirtiest item there was a pair of shorts that my dog jumped up on with his muddy paws. After three minutes of washing that mud didn't even budge. However, after washing for three minutes soaking them for 10m and then washing them again for 5, my things came out really nice and clean! I was very pleased. But I have to tell you, the last time I had an infant to care for, as I recall,  that little bugger was squirting awful messes out both ends, before I could possibly clean it all up. That said, how anyone can wash baby clothes in this washer for 3 mins and say they actually come out clean! Is a conundrum to me!

What I found worked for me. Mind you I have a double sink with a spicket that can be moved completely from right to left. So what I did was put the washer on the left side of the sink and allowed it to drain out and into the right. This also allowed me to put a one gallon, plastic, vinegar bottle in the right too! I would put the clothes in the tub, adding about a 1/4 c of powdered laundry soap. Fill up the bottle and turn it completely upside down into the top of the washer, letting it sit there on it's own to drain into the wash Then I would add another gallon. This brought the water right up to the middle of the washer. I did this to allow the clothes to thoroughly agitate. As others have mentioned, you cannot rotate this thing to fast but a nice even passe works nicely. And why some people are saying this is taxing on your arm is beyond me. I found it to be very easy and smooth, choosing to turn it five or six times in one direction and then reverse it. But mind you I wasn't bending over a bath tube either. My washer was sitting at a very comfortable waist high, height!

Using the 2 min wash, 10 min soak, 3 to 5 min wash method, I would then empty it and with the draining tube still on run a whole gal of water through it before removing the draining tube and filling it again with, this time, with 2 gals of water and rinsing for at least 3 mins. Longer for heavier items like a pair of jeans, bath towels etc. Then I would just drain it again and take off the top and pull the clothes out into the right side sink squish them down a few times let them set a min or so. Then ring them out and hang them up. No real stress involved but the whole process did take roughly 30 mins per wash load. However, I came out with some really nicely cleaned and rinsed clothes! Guess it mostly depends on what your expectations are and how much effort you are willing to put in. I didn't find any of this to be a tough job.

At this point I should also mention the elephant in the room. Does it leak?!  Well the first two loads went off without any leakage. After that I noticed a very slight drip where the draining tube fits into the washer, which wasn't a problem for me it was sitting on top of (side note NOT DOWN IN) the sink. So that wasn't a deal breaker for me. I did also notice that if I took the time and worked with the drain tube to fit it perfectly the drip would stop. But who cared? It was dripping in the sink.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this, especially to campers, RV'ers or off grid homesteads. Heck I'm having dreams of a wash fest, where I get a bunch of campers over, pull out the wine and beer and take turns cranking! Yeah! That's the ticket!  Heck sounds like a good time to me, rofl. Not sure how much laundry will actually get done, but hey!

Hope this review has helped in some small way. I say go for it! It will pay for itself in no time, even for just a small load now and then. And it has a very small footprint. About the size of a 5 gallon bucket. So it is easy to store.
