Actually, I'm kind of intrigued. Couldn't see using this for heavy duty laundry or replacing the washer/dryer. But for the few things that I do hand-wash, my one issue has been squeezing enough water out of the washed items so they don't take FOREVER to dry. I always wondered if there was some kind of clothing "salad spinner" (which is what this looks like!) or gentle wringer to help with that issue. Hmmm.

The only benefit above bathtub washing is that you can spin the clothes for faster drying. I'd almost rather buy a wringer to use with the bathtub, though. This looks a lot less than sturdy. : /

For my hand knit socks and perhaps the cashmere sweaters... if I had the storage space, I'd consider it!

It's basically an oversized salad spinner.

Looks like a huge waste to me. Plastics are not actually recyclable anyway, they are only downcycled. So "recycled plastic" is a misnomer.

This would have been awesome back on the day when I lived in an apt with an overpriced coin op laundry. The dryer never got anything dry anyway so we already had a laundry line in our apt.

Depending on how much it costs, I;d give it a go. I have a lot of hand wash only lingerie and I would wear it more if I had an easier way to clean it. The salad spinner laundry device would be perfect. Probably would also work for my hand knitted items and cashmere and other delicates. I'm not sure if it's practical but if you have the space and for a decent price I would buy it.

Woah! I have been looking for a REALLY big salad spinner for awhile, this might be it!

Yeah, this seems quite pointless... There's no agitator, so all it does is make it easier to move clothes faster, and I'm not convinced that that's an important part of the cleaning equation.

I have seen a similar item but by a different company. The one in this post looks small, but I think it would be nice to have one.

This is the comment i sent to the company:
After using this product a few days and multiple times, I can say with complete honesty and confidence that it is NOT "easy to use" "efficient" or "time saving". It takes a lot of effort to make sure that the pod stays sturdy, even on the floor, while spinning the handle. The whole thing wobbles and the handle youre using to spin cracks and pops and comes out of alignment. The plastic on it was chipping off every time I unsnapped the handles! It doesn't hold that many clothes in it, 4 T-shirts and some socks is about it...so its not very effective for jeans or sweaters...which are worn too, and need washing just like t-shirts. It also takes entirely too long to fill the bucket, over and over again with multiple attempts to get things clean. It wasnt able to clean deodorant off my boyfriends t-shirts, or dirt off my running pants heels. These items will have to be laundered at the nearest laundry mat...which is what we wanted to avoid. I'm severely disappointed in this product. And unless in the next two days something drastic happens and it miraculously cleans my delicates a bit better, it will be returned to the store, with a whole hearted "DO NOT BUY" comment from me. It had potential to be awesome. But it fell far far from it.

Wow a glorified salad spinner.
