Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Portable Hand Crank Mini Washing Machine
Clean clothes without electricity with the Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Portable Hand Crank Mini Washing Machine (WONDERWASH). This hand-powered, alternative laundry method requires no electricity - instead using a patented pressure system that forces detergent into the fabric at high speed for a quick and easy wash. This unique tumble wash system helps prevent soap residue that is often left on clothes when using larger, conventional washers. Ideal for dedicates such as woolens, silks, knits, and cashmere, the ulltra-efficient Wonderwash can handle up to eight dress shirts, 10 T-shirts, 30 pairs of socks or three pairs of jeans at one time.
Highly portable, the mini Wonderwash is the smallest washing machine available, making it ideal for people on the go - travelers, campers, boaters, students or anyone who needs to clean up to a five-pound load of wash in minutes. Using far less water than hand washing and requiring no electricity, the Wonderwash is also economically sound and great for the environment - saving you on power and water consumption.

It Really Works
It is thrilling to discover that a product works as advertised. Look it up on You Tube for a demonstration. The clothes get clean with very little manual effort. I find it works best to limit the load to five T-shirts or one pair if jeans or five boxers with five pairs of socks. I use this mini-washer in my camper for the small everyday stuff in order to lighten the load when it comes time to launder the big things such as bed sheets and blankets. And for the preppers out there, this little gadget will allow you to be the cleanest human when the vombie-apocalypse hits. This washer is well constructed with a blend of thick plastic and stainless steel.

Good to pretreat white clothes
I am using the wonderwash to pre-soaking my stained white/color small and medium sizes clothes with chlorinated or non-chlorinated bleach and Wonderwash does a good job: removes stains and its manual operation let me stay my lundry in contact with the bleach as long I want or desired according the manufacturer direction.

Wonderwash portable hand crank mini washer
I LOVE this portable washer! Simple to assemble (just add legs and crank) It works very well.
I usually have to hand wash all of my tops and now I can use the portable one on my kitchen counter. Viola, it's amazing.
I WILL take this camping this summer for sure! Imagine clean towels hanging on the line at your camp instead of funky towels from the beach. Can pack less clothes since you won't be stuck in some laundry mat on your vacay! EZ to use. Love it.

Best number of rinses? Wonder washer/hand crank style
Answers
A:
Follow the supplied instructions - 1/4 tank increments depending on amount of clothing, the full tank is about 5 gals. I only needed one teaspoon of liquid detergent per 1/4 tank. Do NOT overfill or use too much detergent.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
For a full load about a tablespoon of liquid detergent(I haven't use powder yet.); I determine the rinses by how dirty the water.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
For me, I have found that about 1 to 2 teaspoon of detergent works fine to ensure a good rinse. I usually put a little bit of hot water inside followed with the detergent followed with a quick sterring-up of the water with my hand as it make a nice amount of suds. I fill the cylinder with a fairly amount of clothing and finish with fairly warm water to about full but not to the brim. I find that when the cylinder is fully used that it turns easier because it's more balanced
Top 10 Contributor
A:
For a full load I use 6 quarts (1&1/2 gallons) of water and 1/3 of the amt of detergent I used to use. I rinse all loads in 6 quarts, regardless of size, just once. For towels and loads with lots of stains, I recommend 2 rinse cycles.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
Read the insert that came with the washer. If missing contact the seller.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
5 gallons per wash.Only 1-2 tablespoons depending on clothing.
Answers
Top 50 Contributor
A:
Yes...you crack the handle to simulate the wash cycle. Remove the clothes and wring them out and lay them aside. Turn the cylinder to dump the water (I use mine in the tub as seen from another user via Youtube.) Fill to an appropriate level with fresh water. Place the clothes back in the cylinder. Crack the handle to replicate the rinse cycle (repeat again for a good rinse-out) remove the clothes again and wring them as needed. I recommend one of those mini Spin Dryers. I purchased one as a combo package with my Wonder Wash and I really like how it simulates the spin cycle of a traditional washer.
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Yes unless you have some other machine or wringing device.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
yes
Top 50 Contributor
A:
Unforunately to there is some labor involved.Best ot spin dry clothes in a regular washer.
A:
Yes you do have to wring the clothes out by hand. I use less water in the rinse cycle so that it isn't such a chore.A:
Yes, although if you get a Spin Dryer you won't have to. I no longer wring out my clothing. I put them sopping wet into the Spin Dryer and they come out damp.A:
Yes, you do have to wring out the clothes but let them sit awhile and most of the water drains out. What I do is load the washer with water soap and clothes, turn it a few times then let it sit for awhile. Then I give it a good spin. Rinse a couple of times. The clothes come out surprising clean. I'm going to buy one of those mop buckets with the (don't know what to call it) a place to put the mop to squeese the water out. One of those that you can use a large mop. I think this will help with some of the items that are not as easy to wring out.
A:
Yes, but we offer a mini spin machine manufactured by the same company. The MINISPIN will spin clothes to get rid of excess water. Another alternative is model DTT420 this one is a Danby Portable Twin Tub Washer that has a washer and a spin dryerI'm adding these 2 recommended products to this description for easy access

Details:
I found a portable washer that is described as "7 liter capacity", but I do not know how to convert this to pounds of dirty clothes it can handle. Anybody know, would sure appreciate some guideance.Answers
Top 10 Contributor
A:
I fill the washer until it's about 1/2 full with clothes. Usually I can fit 3-4 adult shirts, 15 baby items, 2 adult towels, 1 sheet and 2 pillow cases, or 2-3 pairs of adult pants.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
Conversion tables are available on the internet. Google 'conversion tables'. The unit is approx. the size of a 5 gal. propane bottle. For washing purposes up to 4 quarts for water (full load) and the balance for clothes, supposedly up to 3 or 4 pounds; this is just general as I tried one of the units and am sending it back.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
The unit capacity is best judged by visual inspectionof type and weight of clothing.
Only fill unit to 3/4 fill to allow water and soap to work. ! recommend only one pair jeans since they are heavy and hard to rinse.
A:
Hey Bonnie,The WONDERWASH can clean up to a 5 pound load of wash in just minutes. This translates into up to 7-8 dress shirts, 10 T-Shirts, 30 pairs of socks OR 2-3 pairs of jeans at a time. This is slightly smaller than a 7-liter capacity.
I hope this helps!

The instructions for assembly are the pictures at the bottom of the page where it gives washing/water/time instructions. I hope this helps!
Top 25 Contributor
A:
There is a single sheet of info that ships with this unit and along the bottom of the page are about 6 diagrams only showing how to put the unit together; these are the only 'instructions'; diagramatic and intuitive.A:
There was a piece of paper included in the box, titled Instructions, which included a "Washing Chart", "Rinsing", "Warnings", "Attention" and at the very bottom there's five pictures which are the "Assembly Instructions".I hope this helps, assembly is pretty easy.
A:

TIPS TOWARDS BETTER RESULTS FROM YOUR WONDERWASH WASHING MACHINE
1. DO NOT use boiling water
2. DO NOT leave pressure lid on the machine after washing if the machine is
still hot as a vacuum can form when machine cools down.
3. DO NOT store machine with pressure knob turned tight.
4. DO NOT overload. Do smaller loads as it will be easier and the machine will
was better and quicker.
5. DO NOT TIGHTEN the pressure lid onto the machine when storing. Put on
loosely!
1. We recommend the use of LOW FOAM DETERGENTS (i.e. automatic washing machine
powders.)
2. Low foam detergents will make rinsing easier.
3. If wash does not come clean the washing combination is wrong. Use the correct
amount of water, soap, and time.
4. Wash clothes at highest temperature garment will allow, but DO NOT exceed
recommended temperatures.
5. The use of washing additives, e.g. a little bleach and/or fabric softener is acceptable.
6. Assist the cleaning of very dirty cuffs and collars by using recommended
additives designed for cuffs and collars; or Wet the cuff or collar first and
rub soap powder into fabric.
7. DO NOT scrub cuffs and collars, as this only damages the fabric.
NOTE: These instructions have been typed from the instructions that came
packaged with a Wonder Wash unit. They are not the complete instructions, as
they do not include the guarantee info, 5-min dying info, pressure lid fitting instructions, assembly instructions, or full water release valve instructions.
