This is the size in comparison to my big washing machine.
Open the top and this is the interior where all the action happens. 4 modes: Wash, Rinse and Drain, Disinfecting and Full Auto.
The installation:
It's like any washing machine. One inlet for water tht is to be attached to ur water faucet (comes with different types of attachments depending on where and wht ur faucet is). One outlet for water to come out, one electric plug.
We encountered problems installing the faucet at first cos the water kept on leaking. Had to call on professional help from the apartment to fix it. It's not a hardcore washing machine so the hardware is not exactly sturdy. We can't leave the faucet "on" like the normal washing machine cos the pressure might wear the outlet down.
The Washing;
Okay the churning is pretty strong! i think it's very clean. The first try was a disaster. It was totally my fault cos the water outlet wasn't put at the right place, but i got the hang of it the 2nd and 3rd load.
This is the result of 2 loads. it's decent.
Water usage is about 2x standard sized pail. At first i didn't know how much water would flow out so water overflew from the pail and the entire bathroom is WET!
I think in the future, this water can be reused to soak the dirty diapers.
Common complaints:
- Does not spin dry. But to be honest, wringing with bare hands is better than handwashing the whole thing. And i won't say that handwashing gives a cleaner result.
- The draining function is not good enough. some water remains in the machine after the end. The tip is to press the rinse and drain mode for a while until the water full drains and off the machine.
All in all, i give this machine 7/10. All the "teething problems" at the start can be ironed out pretty easily once u get the hang of it. now i just have to figure out how durable this thing is....
then again, it's only 520RMB.

Hee, we had this too once upon a time, from some rewards redemption.
Totally hear you re the hand wringing part. We kinda gave up on it after a while...
We had problem with the installation... wrong tube wrong inlet wrong outlet... blah!
We gave up and got help!
It took the pro seconds to figure everything out.
I hate hand-wash because I can never wring clothes dry enough!
