Great
Does everything it says. I kinda had to figure out how to close it to keep the water mostly in when doing side scrubbing but it's probably user error on that. I like the window to see the water. Used it 3 times and it's cleaned my socks and gym clothes just fine

Travelers’ Best Friend
This is the best travel device ever! Okay, second best, right after vacuum compression bags. I took the wash bag on a week long trip and was the only person in our group that didn’t have to pay a fortune for the hotel to clean our laundry. Did you know some hotels charge by the piece? I also brought dye free dissolving laundry sheet detergent to use with the scrub bag. This is now a necessity when I travel to keep my luggage light and compact.

Could be better/ how to use
I do like this if you are living out a suitcase or semi in my case since I’m a long haul truck driver. But it’s really just a dry bag with a little almost washboard on one side. Honestly wish that washboard is on both sides and the bag was a bit thicker. And a more quality base with a much thicker material and a small essentially pull tab on the bottom somewhere to allow the bag to hang upside down on a clothes line. I haven’t had any issues with the bags quality as of yet atleast but I wouldn’t trust it to last long for a backpacking trip. At end of the day I would still recommend this if it fits your life. How to use really. Ok after awhile I’ve noticed for a small load that I can do the best is to fill with 3/4 or a full gallon of water. Then add some liquid detergent I go up to the 2 on the tide cap. Then close and shake the bag to mix it up. Then insert pants and wash with some but not much air in the bag. Then pull out just enough to strain out the water/ detergent then wash a long sleeve and repeat washing and straining and do that again with undershirt, underwear then socks. Trust me socks is last to wash. Then if you need to scrub open the bag and use the washboard to scrub whatever that needs extra scrubbing like inside your socks for example. But after you strain out all the clothes and put it off to the side empty the bag and refill with 1/2 a gallon of water then insert clothes the same order you washed and rinse the clothes as you see fit I do it by hand in the bag and strain again. And then hang the clothes to dry however way your gonna do it. Then empty the bag. Advice Honest this bag is great at washing roughly a full set of clothes but not much more. And take note you should add extra water to begin washing if you have thick cotton clothes since the material will absorb a lot more water than you would expect. So if you where lightweight synthetic hiking clothes for example it will require less water but with 3/4 to a gallon of water it will wash a bit more before needing to change the water to keep it clean. Also I’d recommend closing the bag and letting it hang on a clothes line for an hour then empty the bag by putting it upside down then giving it a fast wipe with a towel to dry it out as best as possible then laying it sideways or hanging it back up until you need to put it away. Also since you are recycling the water if you have long hair it will be on the clothes after washing and rinsing so after your clothes dry run a lint roller on the outside and inside of your clothes a small travel lint roller is worth the dollar or two. And wash underwear and socks inside out.

Long Cruise nessesity
We had an 18 night cruise. This was life saver. Cruise sinks are too small to wash laundry. The cruise we were on, didn't have a guest laundry facility. Fill with clothes, water, detergent, then I rolled it around with my feet, on the balcony. Then drain, fill with with rinse water, roll around again, drain, then hang dry your laundry.

Clean and quick
This bag was incredibly useful on a recent trip that involved both urban and outdoor adventures. Since I was going to be on a boat for a week I needed to pack light but wouldn't have access to laundry services. Scrubba kept me in clean clothes for two weeks with minimal effort. You can fit a fair amount in the bag and the air release valve is a great advantage over simply repurposing a regular dry bag. This is definitely coming with me on all my travels.

Perfect
If you are military I highly recommend, I’m back in the Middle East a third time and I got theirs bad boy. Perfect pack away size, washes a small load of laundry, when I say small I mean, one pair of socks, boxers, uniform and shirt, rinse two times after to get all the soap out and hang dry. I love this thing and let my buddies use it, they just orderd some

Fantastic
This thing hs survived about 4 ish years of annual use. No tears or rips, no fraying just like it was when it showed up. If you stay like 4 or 5+ days in the wilderness, you straight up have to do laundry. I use these little mini laundry sheets with this, and you can also just use powder detergent in a travel salt shaker that works too. Don't overload it, but it can do like 2 pairs of pants, a couple shirts and a couple pair of socks & underwear at once, but I usually try to do 1 whole outfit at a time. For about a 10 minute workout, you can scrub a full outfit clean.

Better than just doing it in a sink - but have realistic expectations.
Washing your clothes by hand is not fun. This is still a hassle, but it is incrementally better than doing it in the sink. Essentially what this does is to recreate the agitation portion of the wash and rinse cycles of your washing machine. But you still must supply all the agitation energy by hand and filling/draining the thing is still work. It reduces the total work, but it doesn’t somehow make hand washing easy or fun. It is solely for travel situations where you need to stretch a small number of clothes over more days than you want to carry. What I’ve found works best is to fill it with dirty clothes, a very modest amount of soap, and hot water if you have it. Then you roll it like a cylinder on a flat surface back and forth. Bottom of a shower or tub, or kitchen sink, so if the bag gets open you won’t have a flood everywhere. It is a dry bag, so it SHOULD hold the water but sometimes you don’t get a perfect seal or the agitation will loosen it, so don’t roll it back on forth on your bed. That is asking for disaster. Do it outside if you don’t have a safe place to do it inside. Agitate by hand until you are tired of it. Then keep doing it about that long again. Dump out the nasty water. Pull out the clothes and rinse them under the tap to get most of the soap out. Put them back in the bag, fill with clean water. Agitate the bag again. This will get the last of the soap out of your clothes. If you skip pre-rinsing under the tap you have to agitate longer, so it is easier if you pre-rinse so most of the soap is already out of the clothes before you do the final rinse using the bag. Hang everything up to dry. It is definitely easier to get your clothes clean doing it this way versus hand washing them in a sink. You can’t recreate the vigorous agitation of soap and water in the sink, so it takes more work and time to hand wash without this bag. It is a pretty simple product, a dry bag with a bumpy rubber pad on one side, a clear window to help you see what you are doing and a one-way valve to let out excess air. The downsides are mainly that it is expensive for what it is, and that if you had a big bucket and a plunger you could recreate what it does at much lower cost. The upsides are that it takes zero space to pack, and so it is a way to travel light or lighter. It works best for small loads - to do things like stretch 4 days worth of clothes into 7 because you can’t wash a lot of stuff at once. It would take forever to do a full-size load of laundry with this, and it is too small for towels or anything substantial. Overall, I am happy with it. I don’t use it often, but it can be handy for those situations where you occasionally will need to do some hand washing.

Bueno pa cuando no hay lavadoras o lavaderos
Está buena nomás que si está medio enredada pa lavar pero si cumple la función

Excellent addition to your Field camping for Gen household items
Love this quick and easy great for the field, when you don’t have access to the laundry, but you like clean clothes, camping, for backpacking, normal handwashing items. Only downside is, is literally, trying to ring them out after. Aside, that I love it.

Perform as expected.
Take a couple of tries (socks and dry fit tee) before getting it right and how much of detergent to add in. Perform as expected.

Fantastisch
Fantastisch. Elke vakantie (weekendje weg, lange reizen in hotels of op de camping) gaat deze zak mee. In combinatie met wasstrippapier altijd je eigen wasmachine bij je. Drie jaar meerdere weken per jaar in gebruik. Ook handig om eventuele vuil wasgoed te bewaren of mee naar huis te vervoeren.
