Description
Clean clothes without electricity with the Laundry Alternative Wonderwash Portable Hand Crank Mini Washing Machine! This hand-powered, alternative laundry method requires no electricity but instead uses a patented pressure system that forces detergent into the fabric at high speed for a quick and easy wash. This unique tumble wash system helps prevent soap residue that is often left on clothes when using larger, conventional washers. Ideal for delicates such as woolens, silks, knits, and cashmere, the ultra-efficient Wonderwash can handle up to eight dress shirts, 10 T shirts, 30 pairs of socks or three pairs of jeans at one time.

Highly portable, the mini Wonderwash is the smallest washing machine available, making it ideal for people on the go: travelers, campers, boaters, students or anyone who needs to clean up to a five-pound load of wash in minutes. Using far less water than hand washing and requiring no electricity, the Wonderwash is also economically sound and great for the environment, saving you on power and water consumption.

How Does it Work?

When you put warm or hot water into the drum, fit the lid in place and seal the machine, the air inside the drum will absorb the heat of the water and expand (i.e., just like a hot air balloon). When the air expands it creates pressure inside the drum. The pressure forces the detergent (which is diluted into the water) into and through the fabric (which is porous) about 100 times faster than you could by hand or machine.

Does it really work?

Yes. The loads come out exactly as clean as with a conventional washing machine. According to a leading university which tested the machine, it performs according to claims. It has also won many awards at trade shows, with the most prestigious one being the silver medal awarded to the portable washing machine at the IMPEX Invention Show in the US. The product has been purchased by several hundred thousand people since its invention. It has also been tested and received many positive, fully independent reviews from major print publications.

Does the Wonderwash work with cold water, or just hot water?

You can wash clothes with both hot and cold water. The air pressure created by hot water inside the machine accelerates the washing process. As a result, allow a couple extra minutes when using cold water.

How does it rinse?

There are two ways you can rinse the clothes:

  1. By Machine. After draining the grey water with the detachable drain spout, leave the clothes in the washer and fill with clean cold water. Replace the pressure lid, tighten and turn the machine for about 30 seconds. Drain and wring dry.
  2. By Hand. Fill the sink or basin with clean water. Empty wash into sink and agitate by hand.
Laundry Alternatives environmentally friendly line of products not only saves you money, but also saves the environment. Using 90 percent less water and detergent than conventional washing machines, the Wonderwash doesn't even use electricity. Not only can you save using the Wonderwash, but Laundry Alternatives has low powered spin dryers as well. Using less time and cutting down on power consumption Laundry Alternatives spin dryers remove excess water from wet clothes. Laundry Alternatives products are environmentally safe for you and your family and will not only save our environment but save you some green as well.
Materials
The inside of the Wonderwash lid.

The rubber gasket seals in hot air pressure, accelerating the washing process. You should hear a slight hiss from the pressure escaping when you remove the lid after washing.

The top of the Wonderwash lid

You screw in the grey knob at the top to tighten the lid. Laundry Alternatives improved this knob so that you can no longer strip the inner thread by overtightening.

The Wonderwash handle insert.

Laundry Alternatives uses a high grade, virgin plastic to make the handles. If the handles are made with lower grade and/or reused plastic, they frequently break. Laundry Alternatives also uses a metal insert connecting the tub and handle, as plastic inserts can snap off and break. The Wonderwash handle fastener.

laundry Alternatives also added a cotter pin that securely locks the handle in place. The handle used to fit on loosely and would therefore slip off from time to time. It is now much more convenient to turn.


The Wonderwash brackets.

Like the handle, they used high quality virgin plastic for the frames. If poor quality and/or reused plastic is used, the frames frequently break. They have also added a metal "bushing" where the drum inserts into the frame, so that the plastic cannot wear out in this area due to friction (picture not yet available)

The Wonderwash drain spout.

The detachable drain spout fits into a bayonet connector on the bottom of the drum. Laundry Alternatives has improved the drain spout so that it slides in place much more smoothly and easily than before.

Directions
When you put warm or hot water into the drum, fit the lid in place and seal the machine, the air inside the drum will absorb the heat of the water and expand (i.e., just like a hot air balloon). When the air expands it creates pressure inside the drum. The pressure forces the detergent (which is diluted into the water) into & through the fabric (which is porous) about 100 times faster than you could by hand or machine.
