I got this a little over a month ago. You really have to crank down on the screw to get the lid tight enough that it will not leak. Once you do that and a few turns and it really gets cloths clean. I was very impressed with how clean they get. I am going to get the spin dryer to go with it and will be laundromat free! It is great for a single person, but if you have more than one I would not try to use it. It might be good for diapers though.
I am afraid that the handle will break off, but I don’t think that will reduce the usefulness and the stand is flimsy.

The Wonder Wash can clean your clothes but except for the tub itself, it is very cheaply constructed and probably won’t last long under constant use. And don’t buy that your kids will “love” to wash clothes this way, the Wonder Wash is too hard for younger children to use and what teenager is going to “love” to wash clothes? In order to get clean clothes, you will have to drain the Wonder Wash from the top, tipping it quickly to get the dirty water out; otherwise, using the drain, the clothes actually filter the dirt out so the drain water comes out clean and the dirt is back in your clothes. Plus, you still have to manually rinse everything so the water savings is very overstated! As for the amount of detergent you use, the Wonder Wash is limited to how much it can wash at a time, two pairs of jeans fills it, and when you take into account how much you can wash in a normal machine, there is no great detergent savings unless you are foolish enough to follow the manufactures recommended amounts (remember, cleaning is a chemical process aided by physical agitation, if you have suds left in your wash, you had enough detergent (base) to loosen the dirt on the clothes and you don’t need anymore detergent than that. You might buy this if you need an non electric clothes washer, but for everyday use you need something else!

Living in New York, I saw the Wonderwash as an amazing chance to opt out of the laundromat. I bought the Wonderwash after seeing several similar products online. I was pleased by the results I was getting in terms of cleanliness and ease of use… but two weeks in the handle snapped off. For some reason while the rest of the plastic was relatively heavy duty, the part which would be getting the brunt of the torque from spinning was made of soft, malleable plastic. It squeaked for a bit, then just ripped off. On the plus side, the vendor was great about returning my money!

Very shaky construction. Leaks all over though the top. Peaces of plastic coming off. I would glad to return it but its over 2 months past…

Overall, I’d say nice idea but poor quality.
I’ve had this washer for a week, used it for about 10 loads, here’s the pros and cons I’ve noticed.
Pros
-Nice to be able to wash clothes at home and not at the laundry mat.
-Clothes do come out clean (I used less detergent than recommended).
-Assembly was easy despite poor instructions.
-Exercise and clean clothes.
Cons
-Flimsy, flimsy stand and handle. I can definately see one of them breaking soon.
-The suction cups only adhere when they’re wet and then slide around.
-You have to hold the base to prevent sliding and base rocking.
-Time consuming, especially draining.
-Even using less detergent than recommended, I had to rinse my clothes twice and hand towels three times.
-Messy, water goes everywhere, some dripped from the lid and the drain hole. Most of the water came from unloading the clothes or filling it.
