I'm a sucker for hand-operated gadgets. According to the manufactures specs, the Wonderwash measures 12″x12″x15″ (LxWxH) and can hold 5 lbs of clothing:

* 7-8 dress shirts or
* 10 T-shirts or
* 30 pairs of socks or
* 3 pairs of blue jeans

How does it work? According to the FAQ:

“…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….”

It costs ~$40.

This seems like it would be useful for an RVer or single apartment dweller. Anybody use it?

For $300, they also offer an automatic mini washer-dryer. If I had access to electricity and $1100 bucks to spare, I'd probably go for the Thor, though. CompactAppliance has some more cool gadgets.
