Description:

For hand clothes washing, this simple hand clothes washer is more effective than hand washing laundry alone. The hand powered up and down plunger washer action uses the pushing and pulling of water through the clothes to get them clean without a lot of wear and tear on clothes or your hands. This non-electric washer uses minimal water and because of the agitation motion, less soap. It sounds like it's breathing with every clothes washing motion. Save a trip to the laundromat and use it in your sink, 5 gal. bucket, pail or tub to quickly and simply hand wash soiled and dirty clothes. More compact than a hand crank washing machine, the portable rapid washer hand washing machine is a great item to have included with your emergency preparedness kit or 72 hour kit and for those week long outdoor camping expeditions with scouts or hunters or just working on the homestead where a DIY washing machine is needed. This modern version of the old rapid washer doesn't use tin plated steel in it's plunger style funnel cone construction so rust will never be an issue yet it's as durable to last and work better than those made in the 1800's. It's a great item to help you get prepared or just make your daily DIY laundry chores easier.

4better than a washboard  Jul 19, 2010
I have purchased a washboard and this item. I have done two loads with this device. It is as fast as stated earlier. After a few seconds the water turns brown or gray. After a few minutes the clothes are clean enough to rinse. I have washed jeans, artificial materials, towels, and delicate shirts. All are handled gently while still getting them clean. The suction and expulsion action must be the way to go, apparently. I just fill up my bath tub and plunge in.

The plastic is actually very thick, which pleasantly surprised me. The metal that connects to the wooden handle wiggles slightly and the plastic needs to be tightened once or twice throughout the wash, but other than that it works better than I imagined. For the price it can be beat. I wouldn't use a mechanical washer after trying this.

Unless you have a way to plunge close to your body it will give your arms and back a good work out in that short time. Also keep in mind that although hand washing is simple easy and cheap hand wringing is time consuming, distorts cloths, and often leaves cloths dripping still. This goes double for jeans. A spin dryer may be a good idea. I just tried a mop bucket ringer and it fails to outperform hand wringing in any way, especially for items with buttons and such.

5GREAT PRODUCT!  May 01, 2010
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw the breathing mobile
washer but I wanted to get something just in case of a power outage or
any other kind of problems where I would not have access to a washing
machine and or power. I saw another hand powered unit called the
Wonder Washer but people said they were made cheaply and broke easily,
you product looks simple and VERY durable.

I washed some kitchen rags that were getting smelly. My machine
usually gets them pretty clean, but they still have a residual smells that are hard to get out like onion and garlic.

After using the breathing mobile washer for just 3 minutes the smells
came right out! I was impressed to say the least, not only at the
effectiveness but the speed at which it was able to clean. This is the cleanest I have ever seen some of my old kitchen rags.

This device is based on a VERY popular old washer called the rapid washer. The designed has been around for a while and this designed has with stood the test of time in both simplicity and effectiveness.

GET THIS PRODUCT, IT WORKS!!
