Product review (1 stars): and the water ran dirty as was expected
It took me 96 hours to do one load of laundry.

I was trying to do a simple, medium sized load of underwear and socks (this is equal to about 1/4 of what one standard, industrial washer could handle at a laundromat). The wash cycle takes 2-2:30 of tumbling by hand, and the water ran dirty as was expected. Then comes the rinse cycle, another 1:30 of tumbling with only water. The water is supposed to run clean at this point, but it ran dirty. No big deal, I thought. Underwear should be dirtier than shirts. So I run the rinse cycle again, another 1:30 of tumbling by hand. Still the water runs dirty. One more try. Still the water runs dirty. One more try....still dirty!!!! It took five rinse cycles of 1:30 each, and one tumble cycle of 2:30, for it to finally run clean. That's 10:00 total just spent spinning the handcrank. Draining the water takes another minute each time, so add six minutes to that for 16:00. Then you have to wring out the clothes, or they're too wet to dry and risk becoming moldy. Add another 3:00 for that. With a 1-minute setup to the machine, that means 20:00 for one medium sized load of underwear, all done with a hand crank.

Then came the drying. These clothes come out *very* wet -- much more than your standard washing machine. Regular, fruit-of-the-loom underwear and hanes socks took 4 days to air dry in a fully ventilated apartment. Four days!! I air dry my clothes, even when using a washing machine, and I've never seen anything come out so wet it takes that long to dry.

So, all in all, it took 96 hours to do one minuscule load of laundry. If I had tried to do one full load of underwear, what a regular washer could handle at a laundromat, it would have required doing that about 4 times, or an hour and twenty minutes just spent cranking and draining and wringing out clothes.

NOT WORTH IT!!! One star, only because it technically does get the clothes clean, albeit after a herculean effort.
