Forget The Laundry Room -- WonderWash Makes Countertop Laundry A Reality.

It looks like a propane tank, but this device is a washing machine, if you can believe it.

Pictured at right is the WonderWash, an environmentally- and budget-friendly laundry product that fits on a countertop and washes with even less water than hand-washing.

From Laundry Alternative, the WonderWash washes 5 pounds of clothes in just a few minutes with a couple of turns on the crank.  Its internal pressure system forces detergent through clothes at very high speeds -- up to 100 times faster than by a machine. 

WonderWash is safe for delicates, too.

So how much is 5 pounds worth of clothes?  It's 10 t-shirts, 30 pairs of socks, or 2 pairs of jeans -- the kind of stuff that needs a frequent wash and sometimes in a hurry.  It's great for camping and RV trips, too.

WonderWash comes with a 1-year warranty and a 30-day, money-back policy.  It costs $42.95.
