Product review (5 stars): Nice clothes washing blender thing
I purchased the "Wonder Washer" because my washing machine is out of commission, and I need something for those in-between trips to the laundrymat more bearable. As it turns out, this little washer meets my needs quite nicely, and I will continue to use it even well after the washing machine gets fixed. So, here's the deal:

* The Wonder Washer is not a substitute for a washing machine. No, seriously, it's not.
* The thing is made of cheap plastic. Handle and store with care.
* It's essentially a giant blender, without the fancy modes and buttons. The first button, "Timer", gives the option of setting the time for up to fifteen minutes. The second button, "Program," allows you to set this puppy to "Standard" or "Gentle."
* Oh, and there is no, "rinse cycle."

How to use:

* Add dirty garments; don't overcrowd.
* Add water; don't go over the line.
* Add dollop of detergent.
* Once it's plugged, adjust to desired settings.
* It'll turn on, spin, turn off, then spin the other way. It's okay; it's supposed to do that.

When it's finished, manually drain the bucket (that means lug it to the bathtub and pour down the drain), wring your things out, and proceed to stuff them in the dryer or hang to dry.

Now, lets talk about what kinds of things you CAN and CAN'T wash. Things you CAN wash include: bra's, boxers, underwear, undershirts, camisoles, socks and gloves, tights, leggings, tee shirts, summer dresses, skinny jeans, baby garb, pet costumes, tea towels, and doilies. Essentially, if it's small or lightweight, you can wash it in the Wonder Washer. If it's big, thick, or bulky -- forget about it. That means outerwear is out of the question. Most women's wear shouldn't be a problem, since women's clothing is usually lightweight (thin, often no lining for jackets etc.); however a lot of men's clothing tends to be much thicker and bulkier. Super plush hoodies or thick, heavyweight jeans will be too big for the bucket's 7-10 Liter capacity.

Personally, I've been using this little dude to wash "delicates" -- bras and panties, leggings, tights, scarves, and my lightweight dresses, blouses, and skirts. It does the job, leaves my clothes smelling pleasant enough, and hasn't really given me any issue. Is it easy to use? Yes and no. Usage is fairly straight forward, however lugging the bucket back and forth can be bothersome, but that's just me being lazy.

Nice product, glad I purchased.

UPDATE I (06/04/2014)

After using this item on several more occasions, here are some more follow-up thoughts and advice:

* The base (where all the electrical components and good stuff is located) has the potential to get over-heated after doing several loads. If this happens, remove the bucket and allow the base to cool. I pointed a fan at it, and it cooled and functioned instantly.

* For stains use a spot remover before dropping your clothes in this little guy -- makes a huge difference! (Though you should also use some spot remover with your normal washing machine anyway, for the same reason; just my two cents, anyway).

* Do not overfill with laundry. If the bucket it too tightly packed with your clothes it won't spin properly. I can't tell you how many times I had to stick my hand in a bucket full of soggy slimy clothes to loosen it up.

* Do not overfill with water. Nope, nope, nope. If you do, then water will be spinning out everywhere and it'll be madness.

* On a final note, you do not need to use a lot of detergent. You don't want it super suddy. Personally, I don't do a rinse cycle (I'm lazy), so I don't want my clothes super soapy. Still, adding too much detergent has yet caused any real problems so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

UPDATE II (one year later):

It's been a year since I've had this little machine and it's still kickin' hard. Great purchase!
