One customer said in a five star review: "Bought this for a little trip away and I was really surprised. Really easy to use, just stick it in a bucket of water, plug it in and away you go.

"Great for washing small items, small and compact, feels good quality for the money and very durable. Obviously it won't rinse and spin, so a water change is needed. But it works well, it is lightweight, and surprisingly powerful. We don't go away without it now."

Another wrote: "For a small unit, I really like the weight of this unit, & how portable this is. I also like the fact the price on this is really affordable."

In a more mixed review someone said it "worked once" and the wash was "very clean", however "it stopped working as water got inside".
