I purchased the bucket washer to clean fleece bedding from our pet guinea pig. It works awesome -I let the
fleece soak a while then use the plunger to agitate and clean! No need to comingle pet bedding with clothing
in my washing machine.
I purchased the tripod drying rack for camping. Works great for compact drying and I dont need to string a
washline across the campsite. The website was easy to use and had prompt delivery.

Ordered the portable clothes 'washing' kit. Will be handy camping or during power failure.

After finding the item I was looking for online - and not being able to find it anywhere else - I found
BestDryingRack.com. Never having heard of this company before and hesitant to proceed with a credit card
purchase from an unknown entity, I decided to just pick up the phone and call. Company co-owner Greg Baka
answered the phone and within a few minutes he had not only answered all of my questions but also gained my trust.
I am super happy as I received the product, a Laundry Washing Kit, within three days (weekend included).
The item was packaged up carefully, with instructions included. In addition, they also have an instructional
video on their website So, a big thank you to BestDryingRack.com from this new customer in Maryland. I'll
surely stop by your store again!

This is for normal clothing items. Works perfectly for t shirts, socks, jeans, and regular long & short sleeved collared shirts. Perfect for light clothing. I used a 10 gallon plastic bucket: The type you can buy at most any hardware store.

I purchased Kevin's wooden pins. Their price went up, and you still had them at their old price.
They are solid, hold well.
I also got the handwasher- takes lots of muscles to do that, so I use it much less often than I thought
I would, but it does wash well. I use it when I have a few delicate, or permanent press things to wash,
and don't have enough for a full load in the machine.

Haven't used it yet, it's for emergencies. I sure hope I never have to, but, it's pretty cool if I do. Thanks.

The only reason for he 4 star rating on products/services is that the riser I ordered doesn't fit on the bottom of my six gallon bucket! Everything I've ordered/received form BestDryingRack has been top notch and the service is second to NONE! Thanks for being honest and reliable,

We appreciated that we were contacted, prior to our purchase, in response to a question whether the tubs included drains. He emailed us the info on the type of drain to use and where to purchase.

I bought my items with camping in mind to avoid a trip to the laundromat when out for a few weeks. 1) the insert for the bottom of a "box store" bucket was too large for my Lowes bucket. I cut it down too short, but then realized clothes would catch on the rough cut edges, so i tossed it. 2) havent tried the drying rack as yet, but my first impression is that the rods are 1/2 in diameter and should be 3/4 inch for a more sturdy product. My grandparents had a rack made with 3/4 inch rods back in the day. I was hoping for similar, we'll see.

We have been working on an "emergency" washing system for the past year and had collected the wringer and buckets but needed some type of table to make the washer user friendly. Your table frame looked like the answer. Unfortunately, because of lots of snow in Utah this winter and my husband having surgery, the table is still in its box. But come spring we will put it all together. Thank you for checking up. I'm sure we will be very pleased with this product.

I purchased the drying rack a few years ago. It dries a lot of clothes in a minimum of space.
I recently purchased the plunger & separator and have been amazed at how clean the clothes come!
It's also saving money by allowing me to wash smaller items at home, so I'm taking less to the laundry mat!

The washing kit came in handy when my washing machine quit. We took our time looking for a replacement washer and this kit helped to keep our clothes clean while we shopped for a new machine. We love it and it was actually fun to do. We will continue using it for our camping trips. It is nice to have a product we can depend on if needed for years to come. Thank you for such a nice product!!!

I bought the Laundry Washing Kit, Glass Washboard, and extra bucket. We live in a Tiny House (192 sf) with no
running water and need to hand pump or carry in water. We've been driving 30 minutes to a Laundromat and
wanted an alternative (at least for summer). Everyone in the family does their own laundry so the solution
needed to be a simple system, easy for everyone.
I had a 5 minute training session with the family and they declared the Laundry Washing Kit perfect. Everything
was of good quality, delivery was quick, the box was well-packed so no damages, and the kit itself made hand
washing clothes fun and easy. As I said, perfect. Will definitely recommend.

They were very helpful and careful that I wasn't over ordering since I bought the complete set and extra items for "spare parts". I was grateful they emailed me to verify rather than just "selling" me the items.

We purchased the smaller of the two folding clotheslines, the portable drying rack, and the washing system buckets and clothes plunger...
The laundry plunger and buckets work very well when camping, and I feel better knowing we have a way to wash clothes
during blackouts and post-hurricane power outages. The clothes come out as clean or cleaner than my top loading washer,
and require little effort because of the plunger and screen that sits in the bottom of the bucket. We are more than
satisfied with our purchase, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality products for home and camping.

The washing kit that I bought will be perfect for my RV. I have tried it out here at home and it does an excellent job cleaning the clothes especially if they are soaked for a few hours. Now if you could only offer a portable spin dryer that is inexpensive and small, I would be truly grateful.

I love my washing set I bought from Best Drying Rack. It was the best price for the bucket, plunger and rack for catching dirt. (No one else offered the rack for the bottom of the bucket.) I got all three items for the same price as other sites asked for just the washing plunger. I am very happy with my whole experience as a customer with Best Drying Rack.

This is the second washing kit I've purchased. I got the first one for myself. It was so useful,
I bought another. The kit has every thing I need.
I use the drying rack the most. Plain and simple this is a great product. Made in the USA makes this a responsible product to buy/own. Takes up very little storage space. The drying rack is fantastic for my good shirts, which can not be dried in a regular tumble dryer. Drying clothes on the rack in general, increases the life of the clothing. The rack has a generously large capacity. I keep the rest of the washer kit in storage, in case of a power outage. Nothing worse than no power AND no clean clothes. Every household should have at least one of these kits. I highly recommend this product!

I am a 68yo male using the Best Drying Rack and Washer Kit to do my laundry in our apartment that has a laundry room for all to use but is expensive. I purchased a second bucket and fill both in the tub; one for washing the other for rinsing. I also purchased from another site a commercial mop squeezer to assist with wringing the clothes between wash and rinse and before placing on the rack to dry. The mop squeezer still leaves enough water in the clothes that most need to hang above the tub for an hour or so before going to the drying rack. The washer tool agitates the clothes easily and in short order has them washed, rinsed and drying. I knew the drying rack would be perfect since my mother had one back in the 1950's of the same design. It is sturdy and holds lots of clothes in a relatively small space. It will hold clothes on just half the rack and not tip over; just rotate so the weighted side is over one or two of the three legs. All this laundry equipment easily stores and TheBestDryingRack.com delivered all in good condition and in a timely manner. Let's be honest..... washing clothes by hand even with these tools is still more work than throwing them into automatic machines. But if you want/need to wash by hand these items will assist you and are built to last for many many racks of drying clothes. And TheBestDryingRack.com can provide repair parts if needed. I like that.
