Rapid Washer - DIY Manual Hand Washing Machine

Product 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIELD TESTED IN AFGHANISTAN, September 28, 2010

My son is fighting at a tiny combat outpost in Afghanistan. They have no washers, no amenities. I ordered this and had it directly shipped to my son. He called me and told me it works very well!

He said you put your water, soap clothes in bucket of water. You plunge up and down which causes a suction in the water. The water actually is sucked through the clothing and removes dirt. He emptied his bucket of water and soap and repeated until the water stayed clean. Then he poured rinse water in the buck and repeated to remove soap. All the guys at the outpost are actually excited over this litter device! No more soiled, stinking clothes!

4.0 out of 5 stars better than a washboard, July 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... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PRODUCT!, April 30, 2010

This review is from: Rapid Washer - DIY Manual Hand Washing Machine
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... Read more
