Product review (4 stars): Low cost laundry alternative
I've had my Wonder Wash for a couple of years now. It has performed reliably. I have allergies, and I can't use laundromats because others use laundry soap that gives me rashes. This thing is a real help for me. It gets my clothes very clean.

Pros:
This machine cleans very efficiently using little water.
It's smaller than a normal washing machine and is quicker to use than any washing machine I've seen.
Initial cost is very low. You'll use very little soap in it.
It is still functional even when you have no power.
This machine can get clothes much cleaner than a regular washing machine, allowing even heavily soiled items to come clean. My dad's favorite hat usually took hours of scrubbing but the wonder wash got it clean in one wash cycle. My parents are very skeptical about alternate machines like this, but they were amazed how clean the hat got with so little work. Took out coffee stains no problem too.

Cons:
Water must be heated. Otherwise it doesn't work at all. This means you must have hot water in order to operate it. Also that you can't wash certain garments in it that must be washed in cold water.
It leaks, between a tablespoon and a quarter cup of washwater average per cycle. Since the water that comes out is hot and pressurized, you want to be careful where you are operating it. In the tub, shower, or outside on a waterproof surface work well.
The laundry is really wet when it comes out. The popular solution is some sort of clothes spinner. My grandma used a clothes wringer.
Heavily soiled items must be washed individually to prevent them from transfering the soilage to other clothes.
