We have already tried ours it worked really well,.. I think the key is not to put too much into, and allow it to move around a bit,.. we did a wash of two shirts and a few pants,...and they came out fine,.. very pleased with ours

Hand made washing machines should be easy to make. They work on the principle of agitation. It certainly beats beating your clothes on stones by a river bank. I've seen several in Museums and they are usually made of timber. Kenneth Eames.

If I had to offer a negative I'd say it's a real pity these things can't 'spin'.

Try attaching a power drill instead of the handle and leave the drain thingy off...

B & Q used to sell a very small plastic roll on the floor CEMENT MIXER, it was a plastic drum with a water tight lid and a couple of agitators inside, loads of campers bought em and used em as washing machines. add detergent , water and clothes, screw on the load and roll about for a few minutes.

When they stopped selling them people started using plain plastic wide mouthed barrels with screw on lids and they just tossed in a few hard rubber dog chew exercise balls in to do the agititating.

Forgot to mention I'm still looking for a wide mouthed barrel with a water proof lid for my own cache.
