## Description

If you’re looking for a highly portable, hand operated washing machine that’s economical, eco friendly and leaves your clothes sparkling clean, Then the amazing Wonder Wash™ is just what you need. Cleans laundry in 1 to 2 minutes Pays for itself within 60 days. Fully portable, no hookup required Gentler on clothes. Ideal for delicates Brand new, patent-pending lid snaps on and off in one motion A hand-powered, portable washer that can clean your clothes in a flash, the revolutionary Wonder Wash® is the next generation in green, cleaner laundry alternatives. And thanks to its compact design, it’s an ideal laundry solution for apartments, campers, single people, RV's, mobile homes, cabins, and anyone who frequently washes small loads. Weighing in at under 6 lbs., pound for pound this hand crank washing machine has a much larger capacity than anything else on the market, when you consider electric washers can weigh up to 50 lbs. and take up much more space. Why pay more to go Green? Unlike many overpriced eco-friendly products, The Wonder Wash™ is great value and not prohibitively priced. Which is how it should be, seeing as you’ll be doing the right thing and reducing your footprint on the environment. Due to its great value price tag, and impressive wash capabilities, this fantastic little machine will pay for itself within two months of arrival. And when you add to this that there’s no need for any more trips to the laundry, and you could realistically save thousands over the life of the machine, while doing your bit for the planet. The gentler way to clean clothes: The WonderWash’s™ design means it’s much gentler on clothes, and unlike some electric mini washers, does not have an agitator that can snag, tear and rip your clothes. As a result, your favourite wardrobe items will retain their look and feel – and last you longer! Invented out of necessity: The Wonder Wash™ portable washer was invented in South Africa many years ago as a practical product for large, low-income households lacking access to running water and electricity, and who wanted a gentler alternative to frequent hand washing. Not only did they have to lug water long distances. As the hand-powered washing machine uses 90% less water than regular washing machines, it was the perfect solution. Built to last: With no motor or internal moving parts, The WonderWash™ is designed to last much longer than the average electric washing machines. All our products come with a 3 year warranty because we really do have your best interest at heart. So how big is it? Dimensions: 12" x 12" x 16" Washing capacity: 7-8 dress shirts/ 10 T-shirts/ 2 pairs of jeans (Assembly is needed)

Review: Synopsis: GOOD ON DELICATE CLOTHES! Assembly is straightforward but requires a bit of effort The unit is made with sturdy plastic and I can't imagine what people are doing with them to make the stand warp. The crank of mine came cracked, but trying to replicate the damage was impossible for me to do by accident and the seller replaced the part immediately. It's easy to use and super lightweight Kind of big, but if you are going to be hand washing a lot of things, it's only a bit bigger than a 5 gallon bucket but the whole point of the thing is for it to do a better job at washing clothes than just swishing them in a bucket so you can't have it both ways. Details below! So I have a hobby of collecting and wearing niche alternative fashions that are heavy on delicate printed fabrics and lace (hello fellow EGL fashion enthusiasts!) and over the course of 2020 I basically threw out all my jeans and t-shirts and decided to wear my dresses as just my regular clothes. But I ran into the problem of needing to hand wash everything. I spent all summer washing things every day in my sink and I never felt like I was rinsing things good enough. Filling and emptying the sink constantly was a chore, too. But the final straw came this winter. Hand washing became painful as the water from my sink was too cold to submerge my hands in for too long so I had to find another solution. Where I happened upon this miracle! I will address some of the things I read from reviews in order of when I remembered them while working with my own unit. 1. Assembly I found the mini washing machine rather easy to assemble, actually. I was expecting it to be a trial, but the directions are really straight forward with nothing more complicated than "attach the two side triangles to one of the middle-connectors, then stick the basin into the holes, then connect the second and final middle connector". The hardest part was putting in the little pegs to cover and secure the holes that connect the pieces, but that was less an issue of understanding and more of strength. It WAS hard to get them in there. 2. Unit Durability I saw a lot of people talking about how when they used the washer, the plastic seemed thin or warped and it bent while moving. While I did not experience this while using the mini washer, even cranking it at high speeds with a heavy load, the handle DID arrive to me with the knob on the end cracked. But when testing whether or not this was something I could have done on accident, I found that it was actually pretty difficult to press on the cracked part enough to move the cracked pieces and that this was likely a damage that occurred in shipment. I contacted the seller and they IMMEDIATELY sent me out a replacement! 3. Ease of Use For context, I am 4ft 7-8. I am not very strong or active and my endurance isn't great. I am a young person, but I am relatively weak. I found this unit incredibly easy to use. Not only is it lightweight enough for me to carry around, but turning the crank for 2 minutes is hardly a chore. If my arm starts to get tired, I simply switch arms, and the task isn't strenuous enough to make rest a necessity. It's less work than arm circle workouts because once you get the washer going, momentum does half the work. 4. Storage This is one thing that IS a little rough. This thing is pretty big for me because I am small, but I think it's a reasonable size for what it is. It's a five gallon drum that lets you turn a crank to wash your delicate clothes better than just hand washing in your sink. You can't have it be a five gallon drum that you crank to wash your clothes WITHOUT it being a 5 gallon bucket on a stand. It's impossible to get something like this to be smaller while still remaining functional and anyone who doesn't take that into consideration would probably buy a horse and get annoyed that they can't fit it inside their studio apartment. Like. Yeah. It's a HORSE. 5. Drying This does not dry so you still have to wring it. Wringing stuff isn't difficult or even messy, just roll it up in a clean towel. It's going to be wet just like if you hand washed it, it does not have a spin cycle. All in all, I love it! It's turned laundry from a chore into a satisfying job. It handles my expensive delicate clothing very very well and stops me from having to touch water so cold my fingers hurt.
Review: This is a good for small apartments. The manual says to use 1 Tbs of laundry detergent for a small load. I cut open a tide pod and used 1 tsp of it for a large load and that was plenty. My clothes seem much cleaner as they are not picking up random gunk from communal machines. Putting it together was easy. The tab covers on one side didn’t fit, but they’re just for esthetics. Be sure and turn the suction cups so they lay flat. I didn’t get one side to suck very well, and it was okay. I was rushing and just held it secure with my other hand. When you’ve loaded it and put the top on the drum it feels like you’re going to break it when you bring down the lever to seal it closed. You’re not. Also, when you’re done, the drain pipe can be tricky. You have to really stick it in there and twist, and then it drains just fine, albeit slowly. I refilled my load with water and rinsed twice. I did my laundry in the bathtub initially in case of possible leaks. There were none, and my back and knees protested. So I moved it to the kitchen counter. I purchased the Ninja dryer to go with and that is a game changer. For the price, this was a good purchase. It saves me time and money, and my clothes come out cleaner. It doesn’t seem very sturdy but so far it’s doing just fine. If it drained faster and felt sturdier I’d give it 5 stars.

It works really well. The only issue I've found is it doesn't hold itself down. The feet have suction cups but that doesn't hold it. You have to use a hand to do that. Otherwise great.
