Product review (3 stars): Builds biceps, cleans pretty well, but broke quickly
I bought this because I am a poor student, didn't mind the manual labor, had the time, and didn't want to bike clothes to the laundromat.  This machine was a step up from handwashing clothes in the tub and swishing them around with my feet, like stomping grapes.  hey, you do what you have to!

anyway, it worked well enough for me.  The price was right for me as well.

I was impressed with the design.  But, then it broke - probably after about 20 washings.  The plastic part, opposite the turning handle, broke off so that it no longer sat in the frame, which enables it to turn on an axis.  It's a pity because this tiny piece of plastic made the whole thing useless.

I have to admit that I didn't contact the company to see about a replacement.  by that point, I was kinda tired of turning the machine myself and the watery mess it made in the tub, awkward positioning, and that I had to hand wring anyway.

I'm gonna try the wonder washer now.  We'll see!
