You should have ranked them from best to worst based on how well they clean, convenience, value, ease-of-use Etc and maybe even showed people how they actually work instead of just telling people what they do or the names of them that way people can learn more before they actually attempt to buy some of them.

Washing Wand is the best and ecnomical.Guess what I can't even afford that so I purchased a long aluminium pipe (4×1) and drilled holes at the middle and closed one end and it works perfectly fine at cheap cost.Hope it helps somebody 👍👍👍 from Kerala, India.

I'm glad you found a solution that works for you. Thank you for sharing.

Plumbers plungers drill a few large hole in plunger works perfect in a large bucket. Daily I've washed mine and my family cloths using this method for over 30 years. Works perfect and very cheap to make saving a fortune in electricy costs while at same time exercises my body free.

I find that the wonder wand plunger one is quite amazing. There really isn't anything to break you can use any 5 gallon bucket which can be used for something else.I find myself washing very dirty items that I don't want to put in my washing machine and small laundry loads. It's simple,portable and convinent. The key is to pre soak and rinse for heavier dirt and grime.

I thought the video was going to be a comparison. All it does is name the washers and references an article to find out what works best.

Strange folds in the space time continuum...will be created when four hand washers are within interference range. Small chickens are most vulnerable when near this fold and possible time travel is possible.

I'm glad you found it helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the simplest option (he plunger type washer) was one of the best.

Cheapest way is just a regular bucket in bathtub. Stomp laundry like grapes. 5 min in warm sudsy water. Rinse stomp 1 min. Fabric softener stomp 1 min. It's also giving you leg exercise in the process.

Excellent video! Well done and to the point! Bookmarked your article for later.

Great family. God bless.

I was hoping you would share your review on the video.

The washing wand leaves your clothes really clean and so does the laundry pod. The wonder wash is great too and leaves them clean. I haven't tried the lavario though.

The full detailed review is at commonsensehome.com/portable-clothes-washer/ Amber likes the Laundry Pod for ease of use and removing the water at the end of washing. For simple durability, stain removal, and ability to tackle big items, she likes the big plunger thing (Breathing Mobile Manual Washer).

I don't live off grid, Amber does (my account, not hers). She did a guest post for me, since she actually uses non-electric clothes washers. We did have a heck of a time transferring the video, as she uses cellular internet, and her link is not great. (Thus the teleporting chicken incident. The sound got out of sync during the file transfer, and when my son edited it to get it lined up again, we had a glitch in the space time continuum.) For more information on rural internet options, please see commonsensehome.com/rural-internet-options/ Some rural youtubers end up driving into town to upload their videos. Not the most handy, but there are ways to work around lousy internet.

I would just like to add that lifestyles like "off-grid" or "zero-waste" can be a bit of a spectrum. It doesn't always mean you don't have access to things like some electricity, or don't ever produce ANY waste. For instance, a person could have limited access solar power, or have an internet connection and a computer for work or KZread, but not much else on-grid, and still be considered living "off-grid. It's more about the conscious efforts you make and your overall lifestyle, rather than 100% compliance. Hopefully that makes sense and doesn't sound too preachy. I think it's an understable misconception people can have.

I have the wonder washer on my to get list . Being it washes but doesn't spin dry i'm thinking maybe also getting the spin washer or as you call it the laundry pod ,and use it as a second rinse / final rinse / spin cycle / dryer to get excess water removed from clothes . Having said that , i lived in the woods or forest near a creek and river for a few years in a five man tent made my self a fire place with a U- shape rock wall with a round bbq grill about 2 1/2 feet above the ground with grill placed between rocks and a second round bbq. grill about another foot above the first grill to keep food warm while other food still cooking with a rock oven on the backside of fire place with square shaped grill inside about 2 1/2 feet above the ground for cooking during rainy weather and i found a large flat rock as a oven top lid or cover for the oven that also helped to keep rain from putting out fire or causing lots of smoke but still let fire breath . Lived on fish , leaves , berries , once in a while rabbits and squirrel but mostly fish wrapped in leaves with oil or butter when i had it with lemon quarters or wild berries or wild blueberries when i could find them . Had four wash basins one for dish washing one for dish rinsing one for clothes wash n soak and one for clothes rinsing used water from creek or river for dishes and laundry also had a water filter with purification strainer , 99.9 % bacterial killing and neutralizing tablets for drinking water from creek or river . Hanged dried clothes on a rope near fire place when needed sooner or by sun and air when i had time to wait for them to dry . Everything was good until the river rose and flooded my camp and washed everything away . Might have to camp a little more above river level next time .
