## Overview

The WonderWash Portable Washing Machine is a compact, manual hand-crank washer designed for small loads up to 5 lbs. Its durable ABS build and patent-pending lid make it ideal for apartments, RVs, and travel. Using 90% less water than traditional machines and no electricity, it cleans clothes gently and efficiently in just minutes. Weighing only 5 lbs and measuring 12x16x12 inches, it’s a space-saving, eco-friendly laundry solution backed by a 3-year warranty.

## 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: Want to buy in UK. - I love this little gem but being averse to creating a wadge of carbon pollution I I don't want to have the little darling dragged from the US to the uK. Why, oh why don't they distribute these wonderful Wonder Washes here. I had one 20 years ago and stupidly gave it to one of my children. Never seen again, of course! Please help me, Laundry Alternative or Ecowash or whatever you now call yourself.
Review: Robust drum, flimsy everything else - I had one of these for a long time, and a second one for a much shorter time. I found it excellent for small washes. This new model also came with sachets to use for dry cleaning , but I never used them. It took very small frequent loads and required no electricity. Quiet and efficient, it can be especially great for a couple of shirts or underwear. It does the job and it does it well (but hopeless with a large towel or jeans, of course). It is a little cumbersome and cannot be dismantled effectively for storage, but is obviously not the size of a full on machine. However, the snag is its build quality. My first failed when its handle snapped, while my second (bought second hand when no new ones were available) when, while the handle was weakening, its underframe went. Unlike some others here, I found both drums to be robust (for a while I continued to try to turn the drum on my first unit without its handle - not recommended) but the rest was poor on both units. After the first one I blamed myself, but not after the second Now these failures would be less painful if it weren't for its price which is high in the USA and even more so in the UK (and I don't imagine that tariffs would help!). Since my first unit, it has always been very difficult to source new in this country, and too expensive even when you can track one down. There is a considerable market for a device like this - people who live in small flats, people in caravans or houseboats, people who don't want to run a large machine for a tiny load, students - but at these prices and with this build quality (unless this dramatically improves) I cannot recommend this as it is too short lived to justify its price or inconvenience. And if you're buying it as an ecological alternative to the washing machine, that's a lot of plastic waste to require disposal for too little utility.. I await someone producing a better product on these lines. Maybe in China. Why 3*? Because I still miss using it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: You actually crank this.  Does it crank easily or is your arm sore afterwards?**
A: Sandra, the short answer is "a full load is a rather heavy crank BUT you can take all the time you want AND you can do smaller loads."  It really helps to put it on a low table or computer desk (27" to 30") so your arm cranks it in a natural position.A long answer begins by adding weights.  A heavy load is the worst case scenario so let's use that.  1.5gal water weighs 12 lbs and your clothes might weigh, oh, let's say 3 lbs.  That's 15 lbs you need to crank for a 2 minute wash plus a 2 minute rinse.  Again, you can take breaks if your arm gets tired.  And you can use your other arm to help the tub do its revolutions.Hope this helps!  Bonus tip: always add the water first, clothes last.

**Q: Does it get all of the detergent and softner out when rinsing the clothes?**
A: It does a pretty good job. As with conventional washing machines, if you use too much detergent it won't rinse as well. You can also use a spin dryer and skip rinsing in the Wonderwash altogether. Just dunk the clothes quickly in cold water, then drop in a spin dryer sopping wet. The high RPMs remove a great deal of detergent. People normally think of rinsing as the only way to remove detergent from the clothes, but higher RPM spin cycles also do a great job removing detergent.

**Q: how many items fit in this product?**
A: We usually don't pack more than 6 large mens t-shirts. The clothes need space to move around in order to get clean. Usually one pair of jeans will fit. Sometimes you can put two pairs of women's jeans if they are a thinner material. I've done some larger loads of light clothes like underwear, undershirts, and tanks. I wash many pairs of socks by themselves (up to 15 pairs at a time).

**Q: How dry are the clothes after washing?  One of the challenges I have with sink washing is it takes forever to air dry.**
A: Very wet and it is amazing how long it takes clothes to dry that way.  That is why I bought a mini-dryer as well so for about $100 total for the washer and dryer, our family cleans delicates and daily wash when we don't have a full load in these units.  The kids actually have fun doing the laundry and we leave the majority of clothes for our front-loaders.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HT0958/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***S on 2 August 2022*

Looking at the picture I didn't exactly expect to get a bunch of plastic pieces that I had to assemble, but that's what I got. It wasn't difficult to assemble the pieces and it's sturdy enough to be used but just barely. As long as you don't plan on moving it around a lot, this will do just fine. If you were hoping for something a bit more solid and sturdy though, you might want to reconsider. The drum itself (where you put the clothing and water) is of decent construction, but the legs seem to be less than ideal. What's more, you can't easily disassemble it once it's put together so you're better off putting it someplace out of the way, but still accessible to a drain. As I said, it didn't take me long to assemble the pieces but one of the pieces left over puzzled me and still does to this day. It looks like it's supposed to be a cap over something but it doesn't appear to fit on ANYTHING on the device. It doesn't seem to be crucial for its operation so I just left it off. If anyone figures out what it's for though I'd like to know just in case it might somehow improve the performance of this thing though that's doubtful). EDIT: it was a cover for the drain inside the drum. You put the cover over the drain to keep clothing from plugging the drain. Anyway, it seems to work best when situated near a sink (for the drainage) and filled with a few gallons of warm/hot water (but no hotter than what comes out of the faucet normally). Unfortunately it's not big enough for a REAL load of laundry, but if all you need is a handful of shirts or undies, or a couple pair of pants washed and nothing more, then this saves you money in terms of water and electricity used (or coins spent at the laundromat). The agitation of the water is done by a hand crank which flips the drum over and over from top to bottom and back again. I suppose the cleaning power depends entirely on how dirty the clothes are, how much water you used, how much detergent you used, and how long you're willing to sit there turning the crank. I've tried it on some heavily soiled clothing and it came out no better or worse than if I had put it in an actual load of laundry, but with the benefit of using less water so I don't feel as bad if I need to put it through an additional wash cycle. Once you're done you can attach the little pipe to the bottom which pushes a spring-loaded plunger out of the way allowing the water to drain. Then you can remove the pipe, throw in a couple gallons to rinse the wash off, and crank it a bit more. Unfortunately you don't get to spin-dry so you'll need to wring out your clothing before hanging it up to dry somewhere. If you have a working washing machine and need to do large loads of laundry for the whole family, then you're probably better off doing the wash like normal. However, if you're in a situation where your loads of laundry are too small to do a load in the washer or if you have some clothing that might be damaged by a regular machine, this is probably a much better alternative. I'm one of those people who doesn't need to wash more than a few articles of clothing at a time, so this is perfect for me, though as I said before, the plastic construction on the legs makes it feel a bit cheap and prone to break. Just focus on not putting any sideways stress on it and make sure the feet have a good flat surface to attach to for the suction cups and it should work just fine for many washes. I gave it 4 stars mostly for the compact nature and being able to do small loads of laundry without having to get my hands wet. I expect that my results will improve as I learn more about the limitations of the device and much I can pack in there before the cleaning power diminishes. I subtracted one star mostly for the cheap plastic legs which may pose to be a problem in the future. If the legs break, then it immediately becomes much harder to use so I feel like they should have put some metal reinforcement around the frame of the legs, or made the plastic thicker.
