Product review (5 stars): Makes my life so much easier. Great for apartment living.
Yes, like others have said, the tubes are flimsy. But they work for me. I started using this today and I am almost caught up on laundry. I really like it because I am not having to plunge laundry in buckets anymore. This method isn't hurting my back. I start by filling it with some hot water and soap, then add in the laundry and run it. I use my spin dryer to wring them out and put them back in for a rinse (or second wash), then spin dry them again and hang them up to dry. I fixed my problem with the hose by attaching the "sink/fill" hose to the drain hose so that water didn't spill out of the hose while it was running. I have a spray nozzle on my kitchen sink and I just use that to fill it. This is so much easier than hand washing.
