I just bought a cyclone washer and am disappointed with the size of load that it's capable of washing. All ads say that it can wash, "Wash a shirt, slacks, shorts and a pair of socks in one load". I have not found this to be true. It's great for socks and underwear, but groans if I try and put anything more than a couple of shirt or one pair of slacks/jeans in a one time. It's definitely better than hand washing, but hoped that it would hold a few more items.

This machine gets alot of credit for doing a better job than handwashing my clothes in the sink!

However, it is still bit of a pain to do laundry. You still have to either hand rinse the clothes or run them thru the machine again a few times in clean water.

This washer is great for doing last-minute items, stained clothes that need to be washed NOW, if you can't scrape enough quarters together for the laundrymat, or if going to the laundrymat or having a regular size washing machine is not feasable.

The cyclone washer washmate can be tucked into the corner with little effort. So little in fact, that I didn't expect much in the way of performance from it. I was wrong. The machine does a great job of getting clothes clean. Washing does involve changing the water in the bucket two to four times depending on your preference, but I find it to be much more convenient than dragging my clothes to the laundry once a week.
