And it ain't no picture of the day.  Its a cross between a 5 gallon bucket and a salad spinner. While you are over  at the Sears site read the reviews on the basic Kenmore, rinse agitation is 9 seconds.

Now This Is Cool!

I don't have my own washer and I live in an apartment. More than once (and I'm sure the following applies to some of you as well), I've wanted to wash, re-wash or re-rinse something, but hated to go through the trouble of filling up my 10 gallon storage bin, letting the item soak, rinse it out and then letting it take forever in doing a drip dry.

This seems more realistic.

Two things are questionable:

1. Will it only turn in one direction? It would be nice if it turned in both...kinda like in a front load washer.

2. Is the plastic durable enough in standing up to an adequate length of time? Let's face it, 90.00 is a bit of money for something like this. And with detergents being the way they are, wouldn't they assist in wearing the plastic down and making it a bit weaker? I wouldn't want to invest in this and then have to replace it within a year and a half. I'd want it to last for a while.

I've got an appointment tomorrow in the area where our Sears is located, so I'm going to stop by and get a close-up view to see what this little beauty looks like. I might even try to snap a few pics of it with my Canon. Who knows...maybe they'll have a demo model set up.

Glorified Salad Spinner ???

Here's the website, remember the "Egg" washer made by Avanti that was out a few years ago? These mini washers soon get shelved by people that buy them and do not understand the limitations. I think the best mini washers are the mini twin tubs they sell in England with a pulsator washer and a spinner. I see these being marketed mainly for women to wash out their Victoria's Secrete items

I agree, I think a twin tub would give better washing/rinsing performance than this thing would. Why do I have the impression that one day someone is going to be spinning their laundry with this thing and the handle will break off in their hand?
