Upcoming Review: The Wonderwash

Not to be mistaken for the Wonder-bra because I really don’t think they’re the same thing– at least I hope not.

I finally caved and threw in the damp towel. I wave the flag of defeat ‘oh too lazy to take off a stripped screw so I can fix my washing machine me’.

The Wonderwash is a little(ish) contraption where you place about five pounds of laundry in the orb, fill it with water and soap, crank the baby out, rinse– refill, rotate and rinse again.

I *could* continue to wash load after load of laundry in the sink in the meantime but I feel like I’m spending all my time trying to get it machine fresh and feeling the dread of my weekends slipping away. I’d like to free up my weekend with other things that make me feel like I wasted it while it slips away that aren’t laundry related.

Many times I had attempted to purchase this product [I do believe I had it previously, it was used for cleaning dry clean only clothes which I believe the device is the same... only no dry clean chemicals, I used to use whilst camping and I loved it. Or at least I think I loved it. If I really loved it, wouldn't I still own it?] Each time I changed my mind and bowed out of getting it.

I was hesitant about the purchase because the reviews, although mixed, did complain about the shoddy material and the bait and switch of the name. Perhaps Wonderwash sold out. No clue.

Basically I was afraid of the shoddy material, the cranking of the handle, the wobbly top [none of which I experienced from what I believed to be the same item] and I didn’t want dingos** eating it. No, I didn’t read that dingo’s** ate the Wonderwash– it’s an irrational fear I came up with all on my own.

Finally I went for it tonight. I bought it and stepped away from the computer before I could change my mind. When I came back to the computer, I changed my mind and canceled the order– and then I came back and bought it again. I think this time I’ll actually go through with it. Even if it breaks after a few uses at least I tried it out and I could possibly help feed a family of dingos**.
