Product review (5 stars): Eco-Egg Washer Saved Money and Surpassed my Expectations
1.  Reason I bought the Eco-Egg:  May the old washer rest in peace as I await about 6 weeks for the arrival of a new front load washer.  In
the  meanwhile, I bought the Eco-Egg Washer, which arrived in a few days. Some of you who are still reading this lengthy review may
wonder, why someone would spend money on a small washing machine, while waiting for delivery of a large washer.  I am sure all regions are different, but I recently went to a laundry mat and spent $85 to wash and dry 14 loads of laundry.  The Eco-Egg can handle most of our typical summer loads with the exception of bed linens, sheets and bath towels.  Since I wash and dry about 7 loads per week, the Eco-Egg Washer should save me about $30 per week in laundry mat expenses.

2.  Cord Length:  First of all, the cord is heavy duty and approximately a good 93 inches long, depending on how one measures it.

3.  Washing:  It seems to wash like a high efficiency washing machine.  I use a  quality brand name HE detergent and get excellent cleaning results.

4.  Washing Example:  I used a couple of white rags to clean the floor, where an old washer, which had been in the same spot for 16 years resided.  Anyway, one can only imagine the amount of accumulated dust and dirt which accumulated underneath that old washer.  Due to the extreme dirt, I did two "wash only" cycles in hot water using the Laundry Alternative Eco-egg Automatic Mini Washing Machine.  Then I did a quick rinse.  Then I ran the Eco-Egg on the full automatic cycle with HE detergent and some bleach.  The filthy rags are white again.  Now that is amazing for a small washer that cost about $121, including tax.

5.  Load Size:  Here are several examples of the size of loads it has done.
  Load 1:  Five pairs of white crew socks
  Load 2:  4 wash clothes and one hand towel
  Load 3:  One pair of Large cotton stretch shorts and one L cotton t-shirt
  Load 4:  One pair of Large heavy duty cotton men's walking shorts
  Load 5:  One XL rayon top (NOTE:  The rayon is a thin fabric.) and one XL stretch cotton capris.
  Load 6:  Four white 15 inch X 10 inch thin cotton cleaning rags
  Load 7:  2 Men's Large cotton t-shirts and 2 sweatbands
  Load 8:  4 pairs of Men's cotton brief underwear

Timing for the above 8 loads:  If you only use the wash cycle, hand wring them out and hand rinse them in a sink bowl of water.  The above eight loads can be washed, hand rung and rinsed in about 80 minutes to 120 minutes, depending on how you use the machine.

Timing for one load:  If you use the automatic cycle, one load takes about 35 minutes to automatically wash and automatically rinse each load.  Then, you will need about two minutes in-between loads to wring out the loads before you dry them on a line or dry them in a dryer.  So, for 8 small loads the rinsing, washing and wringing will take about 5 hours.  On the bright side, one can do other things while the washer automatically washes the small loads.

6.  Conclusion:  The wringing takes a little more work than with a $600 Washing machine which spins out the water, but this washer does not cost that much.  I did not mind wringing out the clothes.
  I liked this small washer so much, that I bought a small oak stand for which it to sit in the bathroom next to the sink. I hope to use it for certain small loads for the rest of my laundry  life.

  To the Engineer of this small washer:  Thank you for the design.  It is perfect.  I hope you consider making these Eco-Egg Washers in 2 sizes. The first size exactly the same size, exact light weight size and look as the one which I purchased.  I hope to see a second Eco-Egg Washer slightly larger, which can hold at least one pair of blue jeans, large bath towel or one king size sheet with a spin cycle at a reasonable price, but hopefully weighs under 30 pounds. Since, I am not an engineer, I do not know, if this is possible.

7.  Hint:  If you have a dryer,  Wash and wring out several small similar-fabric/similar colors loads before placing them in a dryer.  This will help reduce wrinkles.  Put them in a bucket to carry them to the dryer.
