Breathing Mobile Washer Classic - Portable Clothes Washing Machine - Handheld - Manual - Mobile Hand Powered Laundry Solution - Superior Materials and Construction

I love this thing. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with no washer. I found myself just buying more undergarments, so I could extend the time between schlepps to the laundromat. Now, I pop a week's handful of clothes in a 5-gallon bucket. Wash away and hang dry out on my porch. This washer makes me feel like a pioneer woman. My clothes are actually cleaner than when washed in machines. I save TONS of money. And unlike laundromat washers, clothes can actually soak--yes!What's different is no spin rinse and manually powering the entire process. I manhandle a full 5-gallon bucket that sits in my bathtub, and there's no great way to rinse all the soap and then the water out (save hand-wringing, but I ain't got time nor the skin and nails to mess with that). Tip it over, let the water out, dam the clothes from flooding out, refill and repeat. My sweet spot is 1/4 c. detergent, 2 wash cycles, 1 water cycle, 1 softener cycle. All steps performed by moderately laborious swooshing, dumping and refilling. If performed straight through, those manual cycles could be 20 mins; I normally take hours (because I'm at home--not at the laundromat--and I can). Hang slopping wet clothes out on line. If I really want to avoid the laundromat, I stand straddling the sides of the tub and wash big loads in there. No longer a pioneer but an old-timey factory worker stirring something industrial-sized.I thought I would really want an electric mini-washer. No way. I'm so glad to have saved the money and bulky object to store. But just as valuable, I really love how this washer makes me feel: old-timey, strong and self-reliant.

After the laundry wars got so bad in my four-unit complex that a tenant knowingly and falsely called the police and said there was an armed intruder in the basement while I was doing laundry, I had to come up with laundry options fast. Being screamed at and having guns pointed at me was very traumatic. There was coin laundry, but I have no vehicle and weather was getting bad in Chicago. I could move but had only been in building a short while. In-unit washer/dryer too expensive. So, I settled on this low-tech option after reading positive reviews. Yes, it is very physical and I miss having a machine, but now I have clean laundry in the safety of my apartment. I re-purposed a Target bin and fill it in my bathtub. I am still over-estimating laundry detergent; takes very little. I don't have deeply soiled clothes but this device, which works like an agitator, does the job. I usually set a timer and plunge away for five minutes, let it soak for 5-15 minutes, plunge again for five minutes and then rinse/plunge for another five minutes. I would strongly suggest that you get a Nina Spin Dryer or something similar to get the water out of your clothes or you will be left with a soggy mess. However, with the combo, I am now safe from the laundry terrorists. In addition, I am getting a great upper body workout.

I bought this along with the freegrace 23 liter collapsible bucket to use to wash clothes on a trip I will be going on. I gave it a test run before I going on the trip and it met expectations. It was easy to use it got the clothes acceptably clean and it didn't take long. I was skeptical at first but I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Between the 2 items I spent about $40 which on the cruise I will be going on it could easily cost more than $100 to have the clothes cleaned because they have no self-serve washing facilities.

I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment with my husband and 2 kids. Finding time to do laundry with a 5 year old and 6 month old is impossible.Throwing a small load of laundry in a 5 gallon bucket with some soap (2 bucket method works great) at night once they're asleep is amazing! I don't usually have the energy to go down to the laundry room once they're in bed.The hardest part is squeezing the water out. I'd like to get a spin dryer eventually, but I'm just so glad I get more play time with my kids and less time doing laundry.I'm also really impressed with how incredibly clean the clothes come out. Especially my daughters soccer uniform!

Okay, look, don't even bother buying the one with the handle. Go get the other one that comes without the handle, then go to your local Lowe's and buy a Quickie Cobweb Remover. (They look like  this one  but I was able to take my Ball washer piece with me to test the fit. They had them in standing displays all over the store for $10.38. )When I first got this washer, I could tell it was going to revolutionize my life, but I was infuriated that the handle (wooden with metal casing for the screw end) would not stay tightly screwed on and kept falling off. Also, the handle that comes with it is really too short to be able to do the washing without bending over. I mean, it really did suck. I started to glue it on with Gorilla glue so at least I could get some use out of it, but I'm so glad I didn't. Had I bought the cheaper version without the handle, then used the Quickie handle with it (saving the cobweb duster end for the handful of times a year I might use it), I'd have what I have now: a dependable, highly workable, color-coordinated handle and washer end that I can hang up when not in use. I can even telescope the handle if I want to, but I don't need to. The lowest setting makes for a good full-length handle that's easy to hold and wash with. Seriously, they should package that exact same handle with the Ball washer head.I'm washing all kinds of things with this washer. I didn't think it was going to work trying to wash a full-sized microfiber comforter in the bathtub with it, thinking I'd need to put it in a ten-gallon bucket for the Ball washer to do the job, but it's fine. The million-dollar question is whether it's going to fit in my SUPERB  Nina Soft Spin Dryer , but it looks like it might. I couldn't be happier now.Oh, that million-dollar question was very easy to answer: NO. Don't even try!

really quick delivery to UKonce youve got the hang of it works really well and you can do quite a bit of laundry in relatively short timeand now finding a lot of stuff washing much better than it did in machine and without certain materials bobbling .also bought a white night spin dryer as wanted to cut down use of washing machine for sake of electricity bill together theyre brilliant and id be reluctant to go back to using washing machine .hopefully not a novelty that will wear off

For a single without washing machine this is perfect. Combined with a small spin dryer this replaces everything. The product itself is made of sturdy material and will last me probably a life time. It's super simple to use and really doesn't take long either. It's also a bit of healthy workout. xDIt may be necessary to address some dirty spots separately but for everyday wear this is fantastic. Gentle to the clothes and saves cramps in your fingers as you just have to wring out your clothing a bit after each wash and before drying.In fact, have convinced other family members to buy this and I certainly will never fail to mention it to other friends if the opportunity arises. :D

This little hand washer gets your cloths nice and clean, saves you money and exercises your arms. Great little item for house or caravan.

I bought the Transportable Washing Machine for home use.It works very simply; put the wash in a bucket, or in the bathtub, add a few drops of soap(not too much or you will have to rinse twice)and then simply keeping the "head" of the machine underwater, agitate the wash water with a brisk up and down motion for 2-5 minutes. Voila, clean clothes.Let the wash water out and wring the clothes gently, then repeat for very dirty clothes.You will be able to see by the wash water colour when they are clean.I always do a "rinse cycle" adding fresh water and a little fabric softer.Works perfectly for small loads, delicates.Has also been a big help for me for bulky items that dont fit into a small washing machine,like duvet blankets, sofa covers or curtains. Just make sure you have a friend around to help wring them out.Or buy a clothes wringer.All in all a fantastic little "machine" that uses people power instead of electricity, helping you reduce your carbon footprint and providing a great back up in case of a power outtage.At the same time you can save time and money by doing a quick load in the evening and your stuff is washed, wrung and hung in 10 minutes. Can't be beat! Highly recommended!

Nur bedingt brauchbar!Die Idee an sich ist gut, aber:Gerät für normale 10-Liter-Eimer zu groß (Eimer am Fußende zu eng) und damit eher unbrauchbar.Es ist erst aus der mitgelieferten Gebrauchsanweisung ersichtlich, dass man einen 30-Liter-Eimer (!) benötigt, um effizient arbeiten zu können. Wenn man nur Einzelstücke waschen will, und nicht gleich die Badewanne füllen möchte, ist das nicht zu machen. Im Waschbecken würde ich das Gerät nicht hernehmen, da man laut Anweisung sehr viel Druck ausüben muss. Da könnte das Becken schon mal abbrechen...Gebrauchsanweisung nur auf Englisch, was laut hiesigem Gesetz auch auf Deutsch sein müsste.

Simple but very good product effortless and clings to close very well and extremely economical would recommend to anybody really good

what a brill idea this is, great way to get toned arms whilst getting your washing done, honestly well worth a go and very eco friendly too. Win win win!

Excellent product, easy to assemble and gets clothes really clean. The only downside is once assembled you have to keep tightening it as sometimes it unscrews. Highly recommended.
