Product review (5 stars): Way better than handwashing!
This is much easier than hand washing! I washed some of my clothes ( 1 unmentionable, 3 shorts, 2 shirts, and some socks) with this and they came out smelling clean. It was really easy to turn that handle too. Something I noticed in a lot of review videos for this product is that people turned the machine much slower than the recommended 1 turn per second. When you really do it right, you are turning the handle pretty quickly and it isn't such a workout.

Really smelly areas though should be prewashed, but other than that it works like a charm!
