Product review (4 stars): Perfect for traveling
I agree that the base of this product is plastic and probably could be constructed better however, with that said I have to move it all the time and appreciate that it is lightweight. We travel full time in a 5th wheel and I typically use this for cloth diapers. It took me some practice to figure out the time needed to spend cranking diapers and the amount of detergent. I put detergent into a small squeeze bottle and for a load that is filled to the black line around the middle of the washer drum (about 7-9 diapers and wipes) its a small squirt. I wash 100 or so rotations of hot water, with 2 warm-cool rinses (50 or so rotations each) until I don't see suds. FYI- I do rise diapers immediately after use and soak them in the WW in hot water before actually starting the wash process but it is working fantastically. The main thing I have found is to not overload the "machine" or you might think it is going to break! Also make sure you have the lid on. I check every time because it is one BIG mess if its not! Would buy another and definitely recommend as it gets my diapers clean. I line dry them.
