All our US readers! This one is for you! The Laundry POD is a new laundry machine that is small and portable, giving you the ability to clean your clothes wherever you are. If you want to be eco friendly and save money this could be a bargain for you. This can clean up to 10 garments into its tub. Once loaded, the inside basket is spun by cranking the arm on the lid, needing only about two minutes of agitation. The drain valve and flexible hose easily siphons off soapy water. After the first cycle, fresh water can be added to rinse the load, drained, and the inner basket spun again using the hand crank to spin off excess moisture. The entire process takes about ten minutes to complete.
