Product review (5 stars): Wonderful Wonderwash!
This little appliance is amazing - I've used mine for nearly a year now and have no complaints!  You can stuff quite a bit of laundry into it, use minimal amounts of detergent and get cloths clean and fresh-smelling.  I live in a condo with just a communal laundry area so this has been perfect for me.  I also purchased a spin dryer to complement the Wonderwash.  (Typical load for me:  2 pairs of plus-size jeans, a couple of shirts, socks and underwear.  I can also easily wash queen-size bed linens or a load of towels.)  I never use fabric softener but the clothes come out very soft anyway.

I set up the WW on the kitchen counter next to the sink as the bending over the bathtub hurts my back, and use a plastic pitcher to add the water.  60 - 120 rotations depending on what I'm washing then let it drain.  Add rinse water (I very seldom have to rinse twice), 60 more rotations then drain.  I move the spin dryer right next to the counter so eventhough the clothes are soaking wet, a little splashing in the transfer isn't an issue.  I consider a spin dryer essential as wringing out heavy wet clothes is a pain.  I have 2 over-the-door racks as well as 2 on my deck for hanging the clothes.  It doesn't take long to dry as they come out of the spin dryer just slightly damp.

Then I store the WW and dryer in a closet in the next room until the next time, and have never used the communal laundry facilities at all.

This system is SO much easier on your clothes, particularly spin drying as there is no heat to 'bake' any soap residue into your garments.  The clothes look better and last longer.  No electricity used except when washing with hot water, I can do other things around the house while the clothes are soaking or draining so I'm not tied up for hours at the public laundry, and alot of money saved as I don't have to be perpetually plunking quarters into a community machine.

*IF* my Wonderwash ever cracks or breaks, I'll order another one immediately.  But it has proved to me that it can take abuse and do its job.  I'll never go back!
