Ultra mustachian washing machine?

Turns out batches of clothes in 10 minutes, uses significantly less water, uses no electricity, and you get in a bit of a workout.

I think it is cool, but I am not sure how I would feel standing and trying to peddle it for 10 minutes. Or longer if I have to do bigger loads of laundry. Though I do see its best use is for small spaces and more regular small batches. This might be good for people who want or can keep a smaller set of clothes to wear more regularly.

This is actually pretty cool; if it was more in the $100/range, I'd probably actually buy it. It costs $1.50 to run a washer load in my apartment building, and lots of times I only need a few items washed for the next day (like workout clothes). I'd probably use it while standing in the bathtub, to make the water draining convenient. The bike version seems too inflexible and large.

Maybe I should just pull the trigger on this laundry bag or something similar: https://www.amazon.com/Scrubba-Portable-Laundry-System-Wash/dp/B00BUI7HFC. Bonus is that I could use it while camping or traveling.

Here you go.  Fifty bucks.

I think this is roughly what the couple in Better Off used.

Nice! Now that I see it and the note that it's good for people who like to spend time in RVs, I realize there's a decent chance my MIL has one in her garage somewhere that she's forgotten about (she ..... has pretty heavy hoarding tendencies and really loves buying stuff for her boat/motorhome/pool) - so maybe I could try one out for free!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
