    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and effective
    Reviewed in Canada on May 26, 2021

    When I feel like using a manual washer, I stick a 5 gallon bucket in the bathtub and till with a shower spray attachment. I usually just cover whatever is being washed, put in the same detergent I use if using one of my portable washers. I agitate it up and down and also move it around the bucket, everything gets washed. I usually agitate for a minute or two, let laundry soak for 5 to 10 minutes if there were stains. Agitate again and dump bucket, fill with water for two separate rinse cycles, agitate the same way. Laundry comes out perfect this way. Handle does get slightly loose as I am quite vigorous but it can be tightened easily. I bought two so if one breaks, I am ready with another one. Works well.

    Updated: I am still using these. I do use a portable washer that I put on a stepbench in the tub in case the draining water got in the motor of the other portables. Cloths are in the portable and I put clothes in the portable and agitate with the wash wand so I can drain out the washer. Wash wand is still great and much like others I do agitate for a minute, leave for another 10 mins and go back to agitate for a minute between cycle. Use same detergent and vinegar as I do washing my cloths. Well worth the money I spent, have a second one as well if this one somehow broke.

    I also wash my bedding in the tub and use this to move bedding around in the tub without having to climb in the tub.

    This is the second one of these washers that I have ordered. I ordered a second one as a backup in case my first one ever breaks down. This is a very effective washing tool. I have used one for a year now and I find it actually washes clothes better than a conventional washing machine. You can do large loads or small ones depending upon what size bucket or container you use. It washes delicates as well as heavy duty items; you have complete control over how much agitation you want to use. It is great for people in apartments who do not have laundry facilities in the building or for those who don't want to use public washers. I highly recommend this product and the seller delivered it quickly.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I do all my laundry with this
    Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I actually bought this as a backup. I already own one with a wooden handle that I bought 3 years ago when my washing machine broke down. They work really great. I do all my laundry with it in a large laundry room tub. I fill the tub with soap and water and agitate my clothes briefly and leave them to soak for about an hour, then return to plunge about 100-200 times. I then wring them in my hand crank wringer, and then rinse/plunge/wring twice. Then I spin dry them and either hang to finish drying, or pop them in the dryer for a few minutes.

    My clothes have never been cleaner, plus they last much longer than before. It also gets way more of the detergent out than my washer ever did. After seeing the results I never bothered to repair or replace my washing machine, investing in a wringer and spinner instead. I love this thing. My only criticism is I prefer my original one with the wooden handle, but I realize that shipping a 3 part aluminium handle is cheaper than a long carton.

    I totally recommend this product, if you wash things by hand it will save your back. Small amounts can be washed in a 5 gallon pail no problem, which is what I do with small loads.
    The only reason I only have it 4 stars is because I prefer the original wood handle over the aluminium one. Otherwise it deserves 5 stars. Fantastic tool.

    It washes my clothes better than the machines in the basement of my building. It is a bit of an arm workout, but that’s ok. I wash everything in three different-sized plastic tubs in my bathtub. I can put three different water temperatures and isolate colours. Throw the water out and repeat the whole process of pumping with rinsing water. I spin everything in a Panda spin drier and hang things on a wooden clothes reach or just iron straight away. I keep it all in the bathtub, the spin-drier in my hall closet and the wooden rack in my bedroom closet. I live in a tiny apartment. This little laundry system has worked a treat.

    Works great for getting the dirt, grime out of my teenage son's clothes who does landscaping. This and a couple five gallon pails, one with holes drilled through the bottom is the most economical way to do laundry. Be careful of using too much soap,like with any other way to wash laundry it will just become a hassle to rinse out.

    I bought this after another no energy product broke again.

    I haven’t used this device yet. I bought it in case of power outages so have not had to use it yet. It is well made and feels sturdy and feel a lot happier knowing that I have a way of washing my smalls and other clothes if my washing machine stops working for whatever reason. This removes the need for scrubbing by hand which is time consuming and tiring. It does it for you which is what I wanted.

    Después de cierto uso puedo decir que es buen producto, practico y facil de usar. Solamente debes tener en cuenta el nivel de agua y la cantidad de ropa (que no puede ser muy mucha). De 5 a 10 min de lavado la ropa realmente queda limpia!
    Obviamente no es para manchas profundas pero todo lo demás si que quedará limpio, además puedes usarlo para enjuagar, lo usas de igual forma pero el agua no lleva detergente y listo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deep clean or hand wash your laundry quickly
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    This has been a total game changer in how quickly and how well I'm able to keep my linens, appliances, & overall house clean.

    I bought this item to make it easier to pre-wash VERY dirty items before putting them in my washing machine. And to occassionally deep clean some otherwise "clean" linens (i.e., laundry stripping). I'm not the homesteading type, and I actually own a great washing machine & dryer. I just like to properly maintain my machines to ensure they can continue effectively cleaning the majority of our household linens. I find it a lot easier to pre-clean heavily soiled laundry as needed than having to frequently clear out all the nooks, crannies, filters, & hoses of my appliances. I also just enjoy having really clean clothes and linens.

    I mainly got this item to find an easier way to pre-wash my aging dogs' bedding & towels before running them thru my washer & dryer. (I use this tool to clean a bunch of other stuff, too, though.)

    I have 3 dogs. As they've gotten older, they shed a lot more. And their coats now get very greasy despite regular bathing. They also require fluffier and warmer bedding at their age. And to top it all off, we now live in an area where they constantly track in dirt & mud. So their bedding gets very furry & dirty quickly.

    My dogs have a lot of bedding. Mostly machine-washable mats, mattress encasements, sheets, & blankets. All ranging from infant/toddler sized items or smaller to very thick throw-size blankets. If I don't keep up with a regular cleaning routine, their stuff gets very smelly. And fur starts to tranfer all around the house.

    I used to pre-wash my dogs' bedding (and other stuff) in my bathtub. But I've gotten older, too. Stooping over a tub takes a toll on my already bad back. I also have a permanently damaged wrist. Plus, the whole process is just messy in general. It started taking me half a day to pre-wash all their stuff, then clean my bathroom when finished. It got to the point I was needing to do this *at least* every other week - sometimes weekly. I'd feel sore for at least 2 days afterwards.

    I tried the toilet plunger & bucket trick for a while. It was a lot easier & quicker than having to use just my hands. But it was only slightly more effective at actually cleaning *if* I went at it long enough. For some items, using my hands seemed more effective. I even added holes to the plunger to help move water thru the fabrics better. But then the plunger would gradually weaken until it needed to be replaced. It just wasn't working out as well as I hoped. At the rate that I was replacing the plunger, it would've been just a bit pricier (and a whole lot easier) to replace my dogs' increasingly grimey bedding with items from a thrift store every so often. But I couldn't bring myself to be so wasteful.

    Then I discovered this laundry tool!

    I was very skeptical to purchase it at first. I think I spent a whole week looking into it & debating whether it was worth it. (I really do hate being wasteful. Even if it means buying low quality items that I know will end up in landfill after minor use. I also hate feeling like I wasted money that could've gone towards something much better.) This item seemed quite pricey considering how simple it looked. I was bothered by the reviews complaining that the item was cheap & flimsy. (There was an identical looking item also listed on 鶹. I chose this one bc the other one had more complaints about the bar being flimsy or wearing down quickly. Apparently small parts of the bar are made with different materials. This item seemed to be made with more durable parts according to all the little details I was able to gather.) I was also skeptical that this item wouldn't clean any better than the plunger method. After all, they both essentially seemed to do the same thing.

    Luckily, I was wrong. This item is far superior. It does seem to be made with cheap materials that don't warrant such a high price tag. But the item has held up after several months of weekly sessions of washing dog bedding, towels, and a lot of other stuff. The plastic parts are pretty thick, so they're not easy to break if used as intended. Mine has survived many short drops on hard indoor flooring. I'm sure I could bend the metal pole if I put in the effort. (But why would I do that?) So far, it hasn't bent, broke, or started to feel loose with normal & proper use. The bar feels thicker, stronger, & sturdier than the bar of a Swiffer stick. It's about the quality of my heavy duty household mop (not commercial quality). It's just a lot more narrow.

    It turns out the overall design and firmness of the plastic head make this item way more effective at cleaning laundry than a thick rubber cup-style plunger with holes drilled into it. The pole length and handle make it way easier to use. VERY back & wrist friendly. (I just had some minor back procedures that made it difficult to bend & twist for several wks. I was still able to use this thing during that time. I just needed a little help putting items into a bucket & getting them out for a short period. This thing seriously reduces the amount of work & effort you have to put in when trying to thoroughly wash any items larger than socks & underwear.)

    This laundry tool saves a ton of time since you don't need to agitate the clothes as much or as forcefully as you do when using a plunger. I don't even break a sweat while using it. I no longer have to shower after handwashing a ton of items bc I got all sweaty or otherwise messy during the process.

    I found it best to use this tool to wash very small loads in either a 5 or 7 gallon bucket, inside of my bathtub. The bucket seems to improve the agitation process and save on the amount of water I use. I can better separate items I don't want to mix in one giant load (i.e., the dogs' blankets with work uniforms or cleaning rags, etc.). I can wash some items multiple times while doing a quick wash on others. The bathtub helps catch any accidental splashes, and it's just a convenient spot for pouring out water and hang drying some items.

    My dogs' bedding look, feel, & smell cleaner than they have in a very long time. The first couple of times I used this tool to pre-wash their bedding, I ended up going at least 5 full rounds on all items. It removed so much deeply embedded grime that had built up over the years. I spent about half a day just cleaning all of their bedding as much as possible. (I even did this for our bath mats & house slippers. It's crazy how much grime came out & the noticable difference this thing has made.) Now, it usually takes me less than an hour to pre-wash the majority of the dogs' linens and to clean up afterwards. (And that's a lot of heavily soiled linens. Enough to fill my extra large washer twice.)

    I also use this regulary to deep clean reusable mop pads, mop heads, swiffer pads & covers, cleaning rags, and such. My washing machine doesn't need to be wiped down after use or deep cleaned as often. I don't have to worry about various chemicals lingering in the basin and transferring onto clothes. I've bought more reusable cleaning items and started using them more frequently (and for a lot messier jobs) bc they're so much easier to keep up with now.

    Best of all, our regular laundry (the items I don't pre-wash by hand) continue to come out very clean & fresh after laundering with minimal effort. I no longer have to deal with hidden build up in the washer.

    (Side note: If you're interested in buying this item to keep up with pet bedding & ultra dirty items, you still have to vacuum or shake out as much fur & other debri as possible before washing. This thing is awesome, but it's not a miracle worker. It does work very well to lift out a lot of the stuck on pet fur that simpler methods can't remove, though. If you have a great filter on your drain, you'll be amazed at all you've washed off and were able to prevent from getting caught up in your washing machine.)

    I can't give any opinions on how well this item breaks apart for storage bc I've only taken the plastic bottom part off twice - just to make sure nothing was building up inside that I wasn't aware of. (Nothing was. I just make sure to spray all the crevices down very well with my handheld shower nossle. I have great water pressure, which helps to blast every particle out. Occassionally, I just throw a clean white towel in hot bleach water and use this thing to "wash" it. Then I leave this sitting in the bleach water for 10 min or so before rinsing it off. That's my method for periodically disinfecting. It has been effective so far.)

    I keep this item sitting in a bucket in my laundry room when not in use. I don't live in a big home, but it hardly takes up much space fully assembled. I use it so often that I see no point in disassembling it. But it's nice to know I can for camping trips and traveling. If you live in a camper/RV or other very tiny dwelling, then this thing will probably seem quite bulky. It takes up a lot more room than a typical toilet plunger. I don't like leaving it my bathroom for this reason.

    I would buy this item again for the same purposes. I would also buy it to handwash clothes if I didn't have a washing machine. (I'd occasionally want to take my clothes to a laundry mat, though. Maybe that's just bc I'm not used to handwashing everything. And maybe bc I have an unrealistic belief that a washing machine is superior to handwashing.) It's also great for stripping laundry if that's something you like to do.

    The only other thing to note is that if you don't have a washer or dryer, you'll need to find an easy way to wring out your linens after washing. I just use my hands... but I'm not trying to get everything as dry as possible (just dry enough to ensure they're as clean as I want and to transfer them to my washing machine). I tried laying items along my tub and using this to press the water out. It's not effective for that purpose.

    As far as energy efficiency goes... it can be. It definitely cuts down on washing machine use, which significantly reduces power usage. It has made me more open to use reusable cleaning items. I've decreased or fully eliminated ny usage of papertowels, cheap sponges, & disposable Swiffer sheets.

    As for water usage, though, it's hard to say. I guess it all depends on how much laundry you have and how dirty the items are. This laundry tool will work A LOT of dirt & grime out of linens. If you use it in a 5 gallon bucket, there's not enough space to put many items in at one time. The dirty water will need to be swapped out. You likely won't want to reuse the first batch of soapy water. You'll likely want to refill and do at least one more round of cleaning (no additional detergent added). Then you'll need to wring items out before rinsing the bucket & tool, then refill with more water to perform the rinse wash. You'll likely want to do 2 more rinse washes at a minimum to ensure all the soapy water is pushed out of the fabrics before drying. And that's all just for normally soiled clothes.

    You'll need a 5 gallon bucket at a minimum to avoid splashing water everywhere if you don't have a tub or an ideal outdoor area. The bottom plastic part of this item is pretty wide, so it would be difficult and less effective to use it in a smaller container than that.

    I feel this tool has greatly improved energy efficiency & water waste for me. Plus other waste. So it's worth the money I paid for it. I did use a ton of water when I first deep cleaned items. But after that, I can use far less. And far less than when I was washing items using only my hands. I can also just run a lot of items thru the quick wash cycle of my machine now. I also don't have to use extra rinse cycles on all of my laundry anymore.
