You can hand wash, that's a valid option. Actually, the Wonderwash was invented for 2 main reasons: 1. To be gentler on the hands than hand washing (for people in South Africa with large families, who washed by hand); 2. To save water. It uses less water than even hand washing, a big consideration in places where they have to lug water long distances.

Where I'm from, we have a lot of people who live "off-grid" (Amish and otherwise). Some use the washer because it's easier and faster than hand washing, then, they use an old-fashioned mop bucket with a wringer to get most of the water out before hanging the clothes to dry. (No electric)

I own both of these products and find them to be very, very efficient. I live alone in a very small apartment and really enjoy doing laundry in this way. It's actually rather therapeutic and satisfying to be in the privacy of my own apartment doing laundry and not having to schlep down to the dark and lonely basement. LOL. Thank you so much for making this video and for doing such a great job at explaining how everything works. All the best.

cant find the spinner dryer

This is CRAZY good for cloth diapers. My wife washes her luna pads in it, and she likes using this better than a conventional washer/dryer. It definitely doesn't fit as much as a conventional unit, but it's quicker (besides waiting for things to hang dry) than waiting for a washing machine to finish a 1-hour cycle, so in the end, you feel like you're spending less time with the laundry.

I used a wonder wash a few years ago when I moved into a small place with no room for a washing machine, and I can confirm it works really well. You could use a bucket of course, but it would be messier and take longer. I was surprised how well the wonder wash cleaned the clothes, and how much you can get in there - I'd do a whole week's washing in 2 loads. Obviously it's more labour-intensive than throwing them in a proper machine, but it really isn't much of a chore. I paid about £20, a fair bit less than the $51 in the link, so they've gone up in price, but I'd still say it's worth the money. I'd happily recommend them.

@@waynestephas3036 You can probably squeeze 2 pairs of jeans in but no more.its a small machine but a wash only takes 5 minutes, so while it's labour intensive it won't take you all day to do a full load. I think I used to spend around an hour on Saturday mornings to do a full week' clothes.

This was a really good video on the instruction of the 2 products and why you are so extremely enthusiastic about using them.

Didn't mind expense so much, but time spent and wait for enough laundry to make trip worth it... well just really puts a damper on things. Little washing machine is awesome. Can't wait for dryer to arrive. Bravo to you!!&

Glad you enjoyed your KZread break, and keep up that great sense of humor!

Boss this equipment is so legit, this is one of the coolest KZread reviews I've seen in a long time man. Big respect. Of course it's not best for everything like quilts or dirty baseball pants but for normal sweaty clothes a lot of people could use this especially in other countries

@EEaudio09 Yes, the dryer is the main energy user when it comes to laundry. They account for 6-10% of the total household energy usage, and can easily cost $100 and up per year to run depending on factors like family size. I live in Texas too, it's a real shame to see so many people use clothes dryers when it's a dry 100 degrees and up outside and the clothes would dry almost instantly.

I used to have one of those washers... The only problem I had with it, was that the handle stripped off... It broke off. Other than that, it worked great. Had to spin it around like a basketball, but it still worked. The manufacturer suggested that you spin it for at least 5 minutes for it to build pressure. They also said to put the nozzle onto the bottom first, before you opened the top (they didn't want the thing to explode on you... it does build that much pressure after 5 minutes of washing!). The water, after 5 minutes, was nasty looking, meaning that the clothes got clean. You couldn't wash more than a pair of jeans inside it, which is why the handle torqued off...

you fit more clothes in that barrel than i assumed at first glance. also got an exercise. Maybe take that wonder wash for camping!

Very good demo job, Casey. Doing this in the tub is certainly an excellent option but putting it on the kitchen counter near the sink is easier on the back! ** These gadgets are great for RVers, too. **

Super helpful video, I'm sold. Thanks for doing this!

Great video! I wondered how well these worked and after watching you use them I think I'd like to try them! Thanks!

I have the washer, but when I ran out of the detergent that came with the washer, I put it away because I thought regular detergent would foam out, or something. So, I can now take it off the shelf as you have demonstrated a tbl of regular detergent works, as well. thanks! Spinner is interesting- I'll have to look into that device

THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL!! MY DAUGHTER JUST GIFTED ME WITH THE WASHER, I LOVED IT, READY TO USE CAN'T WAIT!!!

@timinki I'm really glad the review helped you - these two devices make our lives so much easier. I love having clean clothes just 30 minutes after I'm done working out. Thanks for the motivation!

okay Casey, Thank you so much for having someone help you with making this video. There is absolutely nothing worse than a bouncy blurry fumbling mess of a video critiquing a product. I never finish watching those, because "if" the topic was important, they would have taken the time to record it properly, So Kudos to you! Very well done! Very articulate and informative. I enjoyed it and will definitely check out any other reviews you may have.

Would be super for rv. Of course still take home sheets & towels but this would be super for clothes. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the review. buying these next month! can't wait.

@Simplyredefined Toootally do it. If you're washing clothes every day already, you might as well get a little workout to go with it! I think I read that your dryer is either the first or second biggest user of energy in your house. Slash that usage and you'll be saving TONS. If you save $150 per month, these will pay for themselves in no time. However, it has been SUPER hot in Texas lately, so your electric bill may be largely due to the A/C...

I have a pink one and I love it! I use it to soak and wash different clothing items.

Neat idea, I purchased the Wonder Wash a while back. The stand broke cranking it, note how the stand wobbles when he is just draining it. It leaked in the middle and then the crank broke - I did use it a lot. When it totally fell apart I did an alternative. Found an old plastic cooler, a plunger and that method has lasted forever.

I'm so excited! My wonder-wash and Ninja came in today! Wanting to live in hip areas in NYC on a budget doesn't always get you a washer and dryer (and laundromats have germs, sore backs, and harsh industrial washers). I was already using The Laundress Detergent Wool and Cashmere, to Hand wash my clothing. Hands get tired quickly, plus it takes days to dry looking a mess in your living room. So, I bought these two machines = clean and almost dry! Solve drying in your living room and wrinkles = Portable Drying Closet at 110Watt on Amazon with dehumidifier. Optional/more upfront money = Hand crank Wringer for delicates, steamer, Crank/electric ironing/folding Mandle. Goal = Design a Wardrobe/dressing room with heated drying clothing section that uses the least energy as possible. AKA DIY Luxury homesteading in Walkup apartment! =)

The perfect college gift. ♡

So many of the others were 15+ minutes long and yet less helpful. My intended purposes for the products are similar to your example: Need quick turn-around washing for my very limited inventory of workout clothes (which I sweat like a pig in) and my poor-quality daily work clothes which just get butchered in the traditional washer-dryer and really only need touch-up washing every so often. I also like to go swimming often, and have been considering getting a small centrifuge for wringing out my suit without having to trash it in a regular dryer. The laundry struggle is real, man. Cheers from another small apartment-confined consumer! :)
