The Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Portable, Non-Electric Washing Machine

Major improvements to an old classic. New one-click lid, no-leak drain spout and much stronger metal axle, along with 4 beautiful new retro colors.

My sister got the pink one and then got me the yellow one bc she loved it so much 🤗 we both love them!!! I haven't yet figured out the best detergent to use, but I learned my lesson that it should be less than I originally thought! Thank you for a great, planet friendly, affordable, quality product 🤗

I decided to order the white one because for some reason it reminded me of an egg !!
Seriously, while spending over a month repairing my old Hot Point machine, I decided to look into alternatives and this was the first machine I saw that I fell in live with.
Assembly was easy enough, and the instructions provided were adaquate
Once it came time to using it I did the equivalent of a typical load of clothes divided by two.
The first load was a few tshirts, underwear and socks., the second load was a zippered hooded sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants.
Both of these loads seemed about right, as the capsule was about 3/4 full without really compressing too much.
As for the guide on how to use it, I definitely used more water than I should have, and probably more detergent as well, but it was still a fraction of what my Hot Point would have used.
As for times, I did I think a 3 or 4 min wash cycle, followed by a couple of 2 or 3 min rinse cycles, and everything worked as it should.
Operating was very easy, and the clothes ?? They came out GREAT !!
Afterwards I used the Niagra spin dryer for each load, so 2x total, and hung the clothes outside to dry on my newly installed clothes line.
I cannot emphasize enough how practical this little machine is, and how well it works.
Highly recommend !!

I've seen this washing machine for years now and always thought about buying one "just because and just in case". My late husband was always saying that there's coming a time when there will be a power outage that might last for awhile, so he started preparing for it two or three years ago until last year when he died. We still have a lot of the stuff he got, JUST IN CASE. This might be the thing to buy right now, just in case something bad does happen and then, I'll have it when there's a run on them and won't be able to get them, except from those who buy mass quantities of them and sell them for outrageous profits like what happened last year when the covid pandemic happened.
THANK YOU FOR DEMONSTRATING THIS!!! I've always wanted to see how it worked when I saw it in catalogues and stuff.

This company is solid and I had one back in the early 90's. Great product and thinking about getting this new version.

I use this to wash most of my family’s clothes in and it does save water and power . Too bad laundry alternative doesn’t have a manual spin dryer for those that want that option .. but I’m happy to have this little unit

[stickfinderz]

This is the most awesome little washer! I have the mint green model and have used it every other day for 4 years now. I found that letting the laundry soak overnite or for approximately 6 hours, after doing 20 spins in both directions and then draining and rinsing twice works best for me as i have very hard, high iron water. Great invention, i need one more...one, just isn't enough. Oh and it's great for washing your potatoes n fresh picked potatoes, cherries, blueberries, the possibilities are endless.

I bought the original Wonder Wash along with the Mini Counter top spin dryer years ago. They both still work. That alone tells you the staying power of the products from this company. The Wonder wash is such a simple machine and it does exactly what it says it does. Gets your clothes clean fast and efficient. I recently decided to start using it again after years of having it sit. My apt complex has a small laundry with only a few machines to wash and dry and most of the time they are out of service. This little dude will do the trick in a pinch especially now with C virus all around us. It is way safer to wash this way. I might purchase another washer to try the new lid, the one I have has the screw top lid. Either way a great product. Buy yourself one, you won't regret it .

[wendybarker]

I have one. It is fantastic, gets clothes clean. It uses little water and very little soap. It was well worth it.

It's a nice video. Just wanted to say, it looks like the gentleman gets very serious right at this moment. :P 1:41

On a more serious note, could you guys design a pedal-powered version? I think that would be more ergonomic. Just a thought. Thanks.

I love this product. I’ve had it for a couple of years now. Especially during this coronavirus it’s great washing with this unit. I also have the Laundry Alternative Nina Dryer. That thing is tremendous.

I placed my order for one of these over the weekend and received it yesterday (Wed.) Tried it out today. It is awesome! No leaks when putting on the drain pipe or cap. I would recommend it for sure.

I've been enjoying my Wonderwash for 10 years now. It's been particularly helpful during the pandemic as I live in an apartment building.
The connecting part of the drain tube just came off. Do I glue it? Just wondering how to fix it and where the rubber band goes. Thanks!

[rogerlockwood]

This is a great idea. Ready to try it on my remote, non-electric Fire Lookout job. Less clothes to bring up and haul up at beginning of season. No reason to go down to town now except for groceries.

[affettuosomusiccorporation]

Great product! It takes forever to fill up but its great for delicates

Going to purchase this when I live off grid

[SteveIVU]

I noticed that the demonstration person only turns it one direction. I have read other responses that said they spin it one direction then crank it in the opposite direction. Would it wash any better by cranking it in one direction then reverse the cranking direction? I personally don't think it would make a difference but maybe it would that I'm not thinking of. So, would it make a difference?

[dianablair]

I have been thinking about purchasing one to use to felt down my hand crocheted wool bowls in... I wonder if if would do the job as needs much agitation for the felting process.

[hobbsfaye]

Would this be effective at washing cloth diapers + inserts?

[OofusTwillip]

The instructions that came with mine said to add the soap & water BEFORE adding the laundry.

[camarynloren]

if you wash socks, they will come out very white, with bleach and hot water in the wonder wash!
