    Has anyone used a Wonder Wash hand-operated, "pressurized" washing
    machine? (http://www.laundry-alternative.com/wonderwash.htm) They
    are essentially a small sealed plastic barrel with a hand crank that
    holds up to 5 pounds (2.2 kg) of laundry.

    My son saw the device advertised on TV a long time ago and suggested
    looking into it. A Google search shows a few on-line vendors, one of
    which is linked above. At around $43, I'm strongly tempted to buy
    one for washing a few clothes, bed linens, and towels at anchor.
    This group had a few posts several months back about installing power
    washing machines, most of which recommended against it so I'm looking
    for a proven alternative.
