Review: Scrubbed up well - My washing machine broke down, it needed a new part that was going to take two weeks to arrive, so I bought a scrubba. I could only wash 4-5 items at a time. Each wash took 3 mins each. It took my 30 mins to do a full wash load which wasn’t bad. I used Persil liquid as detergent. After washing I hand squeeze all the water out that I could, then put all my washing in a tumble dryer. Clothes came out really good. Was impressed. I recommend this product. I wil bel bringing it on cruise holidays plus it’s very handy to have if my washing machine breaks down again!!
Review: Great Item for doing those smalls. - Love this. It has been to Hawaii twice now. Great for washing without having to go out to do the laundry. Managed to do t-shirts and dresses as well as the small items. OK cant put much in if you want to give the items a good scrubbing, but it works well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for holidays
*by J***E on 16 January 2025*

Not yet used but instructions and reviews seem to indicate this is going to be the answer to less packing and washing during trips. Certainly compact and looks easy to use. Does seem pricey but hopefully does the job.
