Product review (1 stars): Cleaner and faster to hand wash..imagine that.
If you rate the cleanliness of your clothes by how dirty the water is, then you will be satisfied. BUT IF you rate the cleanliness of your clothes by how CLEAN your clothes ACTUALLY ARE...then you will be disappointed. I have never written a review before, but this needed to be rated. I experimented a number of ways and washed clothes in all variables, temperature, amount, proportion of water to clothes, water to soap to clothes, types of soap/detergents/ mixed soap and detergent, hot water, number of re-washes... you name it, I did it, and each time I ended up spending more time then I would have if I had actually just thrown the clothes in the washing machine around the corner and stuffed coins in the stupid slot, got coffee and hung up my clothes in my room. I really wanted this thing to work. I really did. I was happy when I saw dirty water, I was unhappy when I realized no matter what I did, if i washed a sock, for instance, by hand, it was side by side cleaner than its pair that went through the wonder wash in any combination of washings/soapings/rinsings.
