Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wonder Washer
Customer Review: Good product considering the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This washer is not perfect, but considering its price and convenience, I still think it's a good investment. I've used it for 5 or 6 times and so far so good. Usually I will wash it for 15 mins and then pour out water, and put another bucket of clear water to rinse for another 10 mins. The clothes come out pretty clean and easy to rinse. This washer is not very stable during the washing so usually I will put it in the corner of the bathroom and pull a chair in the opening side to make sure it won't move or spin during the washing. Without this little washer, it's a headache for me to separate my laundry with different colors, different materials... Now I can do laundry whenever I want. It's really convenient!
I hope the future generation of portable washer can do rinse job, it will make life much easier. So far I didn't find any available one in current market.
Customer Review: mini wonder washer
Summary: 5 Stars
I got one of these for both my duaghters. It saves from having to spend extra money at the laundary mat it works nice the clothes come out clean. It is simple to use. Customer Review: Very satisfied with washing quality
Summary: 5 Stars
The machine takes a small load. But the quality of washing is much better than in a store. The reason: the clothes get soaked overnight, not just a few minutes.
It does not take space. Just an additional bucket.
Customer Review: To make this work...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned the Wonder Washer for more than a year. Thru trial and error, this is what I find works best:
1) Load clothes in a separate 3.5 gallon bucket. About 2/3 full, loose and not packed down.
2) Place in bathtub and use shower to fill bucket. I add a small amount of detergent, diluted with water on top of the clothes as the hot shower is running (I have a watersaver hi-pressure shower head) This adds some extra cleaning time to the clothes
3) Transfer clothes and water (the proper fill level is trial and error- the minimum as long as the clothes turn and without splashing over)to the Wonderwasher bucket. I have the WW sitting on top of 3 foam exercise square mats with a plastic serving tray that the WW sits in. This helps with noise and contains splashes. I also wipe the WW bucket, motor base and the tray so I can monitor if water is splashing out
4) Adjust time and cycle. I've been using 9 minutes and gentle cycle (I think the gentle spins for 7 seconds- 3 second rest- 7 sec. spin- repeat. The Standard cycle is 14 sec spin- but was beating up and stretching socks and long sleeves) I add fabric softener when I am starting the machine so the clothes are less wrinkled.
5) Then I take the WW lid off, walk the bucket to the tub and pour off the water and clothes into a plastic dish rack (that has raised legs) and lets the water drain off.
6) then I quickly hand wring out clothes and place them in the bathroom sink, fill with water, drain. I do a quick hand wring again (not overdoing it) and place them in a spin dryer for 5 minutes (similar size to the WW) which spins at 1500 RPM. Then I put the clothes on a folding rack and they are usually dry by the morning.
7) This is an example of the spin dryer (not sure if link is allowed)
I spent $[...] on this item. Hand wringing wasn't working well for me.

If you do use this it is very sensitive to being loaded with the heaviest cotton items first on the bottom. Again there is trial and error learning this.
8) I think the WW can do a great job cleaning clothes. The above steps are a little labor intensive, but to me gives the best cleaning, rinse, wringing without using too much water.
The grey/black water some reviewers complained about is color coming out of the clothes because the WW does agitate and spin the clothes very well. I'm amazed how many items aren't colorfast.
Hope this helps
Customer Review: NOT a WONDERful Washer
Summary: 1 Stars
With "NO drain" and "NO spin/wringer" capabilities, the filled unit must be "lifted, dumped and refilled to rinse" (with MANUAL wringing of items each time)! No better than a bucket and paddle, it is "NOT a WONDERful" washer. If you have strength problems with your back, arms or legs, DON'T BOTHER !
