I bought the Miracle Washer because my washing machine broke and I need something more bearable for between runs to the laundry. As it turns out, this little washing machine serves my needs quite well and I will continue to use it even after the washing machine is repaired. So here's the deal:* The Wonder Washing Machine is not a replacement for a washing machine. No, seriously, it's not.* It's cheap plastic. Handle and store with care.* It's basically a giant mixer, no fancy modes or buttons. The first button, Timer, allows you to set the time up to fifteen minutes. The second button, Program, lets you set this pup to either Standard or Gentle.* Oh, and there's no 'rinse cycle'. don't overfill. * add water; Don't cross the line.* Add a spoonful of detergent.* Once connected, set the parameters you want.* It turns on, starts to spin, turns off, and then starts spinning in the other direction. Everything is OK; he must do it. When you're done, manually empty the bucket (that is, drag it into the tub and pour it down the drain), wring out your stuff, and start putting it in the dryer or hanging it to dry. Now let's talk about the things you CAN and CAN'T wash. Items you CAN wash include: bras, boxers, underwear, tank tops, camisoles, socks and gloves, tights, leggings, T-shirts, sundresses, skinny jeans, baby clothes, animal costumes, kitchen towels and napkins. Basically, if it is small or light, you can wash it in the Wonder washing machine. If it's big, fat, or bulky, forget it. That means outerwear is out of the question. Most women's clothing should not pose a problem, as women's clothing is usually lightweight (thin, often unlined for jackets, etc.); However, most men's clothing tends to be much thicker and bulkier. Super plush sweatshirts or thick, heavy jeans are too big for a 7-10 liter bucket. light dresses, blouses and skirts. It does its job, makes my clothes smell good enough and doesn't cause me any problems. Is it easy to use? Yes and no. It's fairly easy to use, though lugging the bucket back and forth can be tiring, but that's just my laziness. Good product, glad I bought it. UPDATE I (6/4/2014) Having used this article a few times, here are a few additional thoughts and tips: * The base (where all the electrical components and things are located) can overheat after a few loads. If this happens, remove the bucket and allow the base to cool. I pointed a fan at him and he immediately cooled down and started working.* To remove stains, use a stain remover before throwing clothes at this little guyโa huge difference! (Though you should still use stain remover with your regular washing machine for the same reason; my two cents anyway.) *Don't fill with laundry. If the bucket is too full of clothes, it will not rotate properly. I can't tell you how many times I've had to stick my hand in a bucket of wet, slimy clothes to get them loose. * Do not overfill with water. No no no. If you do that, water will spill all over the place and it'll go crazy.* One final note: you don't need to use a lot of detergent. You don't want it to be super muddy. I personally don't do a rinse (I'm too lazy) so I don't want my clothes to be very soapy. However, adding too much detergent still caused bigger problems so I wouldn't worry too much about that. UPDATE II (one year later): It's been a year since I've had this little machine and it still works. Excellent purchase!
