Product review (5 stars): Fantastic Little Contraption!
I got this for camping but it is a bit heavy/not for a guy but for me it is a little heavy to tote around.  When my boyfriend and I go camping for longer than a week I do plan to take it with us.  I am not sure if I use it as directed but this is how I do it:  I have a 5 gallon bucket that I use to fill the wash tub side with water to cover the clothing I put in.  Usually 3 or 4 small easy to dry items like pajamas, rompers etc. The washer side will hold much more but I use it for quick loads that I want clean without using big washer.  The spin side is probably half the size of the washer so if you do a large load you will have to spin a few articles at a time.  I do not wash towels and socks in it/but guess you could fit 2 bath towels in it but only 1 in the spin part.  Anyway, I add a very small amount of detergent..like a couple tablespoons of the dilute dollar store brand..then run it on soft/or normal cycle for about 5 minutes.  I then turn the knob to drain and empty my 5 gallon bucket.  I then add fresh water and put it through another 3 minutes to wash out the soap/then drain it again.  Be sure to leave the drain hose in a bucket or you will be sorry (o:.  If it is only like 2 rompers or 1 pair of pajamas, I put them in the spin cycle for 5 minutes or so being careful to leave hose in bucket.  If washing more than a couple items I split it up and spin a few pieces at a time.  The clothes come out fairly dry/well dry enough to drape over my chair or hang in the closet to finish drying.  As stated, I do not use a whole lot of detergent so rinsing is no biggie..and have skipped a rinse before.  The clothes I use this for/delicates etc/are not really that dirty in the first place but this does a wonderful job on them.  It saves me money on wear and tear of my clothes and they stay looking brand new much longer than using my traditional washer.  Also saves on water and my water bill is high enough due to increases on the sewer and stuff in the last year or so.  I am sure it also saves on power as well.  If I were without a washer for a month or so i am sure this would suffice/but I do not see this as a replacement for a good washer and dryer especially where towels, socks and such are concerned.  Anyway///try it..it is great!
