This won't be on the market until 2016, but it looks really promising. It has a spin cycle!

Well that's kind of interesting. Have to wait & see what the reviews will be next year.

I saw this one on TV a while ago. It's more for back-packers.

I've been seeing several similar over the past year. Just purchased this: http://www.laundry-alternative.com/prod ... Wonderwash - Price was good and I was very impressed by the video of the tv station that tried it (on the page above).

Haven't even taken it out of the box, but when I have a lazy day, intend to try it - I'm perfectly fine with putting things outside, or hanging in my shower. This impressed me because I don't need lots of water (important when boondocking!) Love the foot pedal one posted, though -

I figure with my workamping, I won't use this as much as I would have some other years, but intend to have the times when I will again. Hopefully I'll like it. Will let everyone know when I try it.

That is interesting and might be worth checking out. Not to mention the exercise potential! :D

I like the idea of the foot pedal, but I suspect the last one would work better because of more sloshing from turning it with your hands. Price is less also, but storage would be a problem with all of these, unless they collapse somehow. I am guessing you could put in a couple of pairs of shorts, undies, and t-shirts at once, which would make it practical for a couple of days clothing.

I really like mine. I've been using it about twice a week and will probably start doing one more often. The down side right now is that we've been getting so little to no sunny days and I have to hang everything in my shower. I'm looking forward to hanging done loads outside to dry.

I've been leaving mine in the shower. Normally I take it out to shower but the other day left it in. Yes, I had less room, but it worked.
