I saw one of these and ended up buying about 12 Haiers and 2 Danbys
I got one of these last Christmas, they are very cute little machines, about the size of a very very large blender. These machines agitate by rotating an impeller at the bottom in one direction but stopping every couple of seconds. It could wash a lot better if it reversed,but, oh well... It still a fun little machine!!
Good to hear it's cute and washes ok. But I'm not too thrilled about the lack of a drain... have to tip it to dump out the water. Five gallons of water isn't light, but I suppose if you run the thing in the bathtub it would be ok.
Actually it has *Home Pride* written all over it. LOL
It's in invisible ink... ;-)

These things are commonly available on Ebay, new.
There is also a new version of this, sold by a guy in Canada, that does have a drain hose, and I think also a hose for filling, that you can attach to the sink. So you put the machine at the edge of the sink, and you can fill & drain without having to lift a heavy 5-gallon bucket full of water.
There are a couple of other versions of these that have fill & drain hoses, one of which is rectangular and transparent colored plastic. I suspect that the version w/o the hoses will eventually be phased out.
Capacity of most of these is about 2 lbs of laundry, which is to say, one pair of jeans or two outer shirts or a few undershirts or pairs of underpants. I could see them being useful for when you're on the road, or when you just need to wash a couple of items (e.g. "I need this shirt to wear to the meeting tomorrow...").
laundryalternative.com sells a matching countertop spinner for $70 which is rated at 2 lbs. capacity. This will relieve you of the hassle of wringing out the clothes washed in the countertop washers above. It also has transparent sides, so you can watch the water spin out and stop the machine when it's done.
