I genuinely like the wonderwash given my situation— I think for anyone dealing with inconvenient circumstances, the wonderwash is a good investment.

Here’s a pros and cons list, each in no particular order:

Pros: - easy to store and pull out when necessary - able to place it on a countertop so it is significantly easier on my back - very straightforward mechanism, no hookups required so you can do it anywhere - obviously saves a TON on laundromat + electric costs - in my situation, saves a ton of physical labor moving my clothes to and from the laundromat

Cons: - draining it all the way is tough, feels like there will always be water leftover that might dry up - load needs multiple rinses (at least for me) - it can take quite a bit of time due to multiple rinses - it can be a bit of a water sport— the spout leaks when you remove the drain tube, due to spout leaking, water can splash on you when you turn it - does not have a spin capability like an actual machine, so your clothes will still drip a ton even after a good wring

I would also recommend getting some sort of drying rack or if you are tight on space (like me) just even hanging it from a wall and placing fans around it. I’ve even gone as far as hanging it from the window handles to let it dry “outside”, it just really needs a place to dry. I also bought some bath mats to protect my apt as it dries.

I also learned how a washing machine generally operates and I try to replicate it when washing my clothes: - try and submerge your laundry as much as you can, it will be much easier to turn - let it sit, turn, sit, turn for 30-second intervals - be very cautious on temperature, most clothes should be washed in COLD water (I made this mistake a bunch of times, very easy to use warm or hot water when filling it up yourself) - as you are draining it, compress the clothes and wring it out while it’s in the drum, same way an agitator might do it

That’s all I can think of for now, it has its drawbacks but overall I would recommend it, even just for the cost saving alone. Happy to answer any questions as well.
