Product review (5 stars): One Great Little Washing Machine
I have used mine for serveral months now with no complaints. Be sure the bucket is into the base well. You can fill it first before adding clothes. Just fill it to the line adding detergent about halfway. I can put in a plus size pair of knit slacks, a shirt and a pair of undies. Then put the lid on, plug it in and set it the way you want it. I do 2 loads in the same water unless clothes are more soiled. Just wring each item of clothing out well over the bucket (unplugging first), then add another load. You can have first load rinsed and hung up in the meantime. Not anymore work than taking everything to the laundrymat and a heck of a lot cheaper.
