HI everyone. Lehman's sells a small hand crank clothes washer that I have been contemplating buying for quite awhile. It holds approx two shirts and a pair of pants. It has a vacuum seal on it though someone somewhere told me that the seal doesn't last long. Anyone familiar with this product?

I have been wanting a hand crank james washer for some time now. I am trying to get my Husband to build me one as the cost for an already assembled model outrageous. But in my search for a cheaper model, I have read about quite a few people who use a Wonder Wash, which I think is the table top model you are looking at (Lehmans calls it a pressure washer). There are mixed reviews out there on that product. But what I have found is that most people looking for an off grid small clothes washer seem to like a five gallon bucket with a Rapid Washer (looks like a plunger) inserted into a hole in the lid. It seems to get the clothes the cleanest and is almost 1/3 of the cost.
