Practicality & Use

Pros:

• "I actually bought this to bathe my dog, and it works perfectly! Now I use it for hand washing clothes too!!"
• "Works great for us in our rv."
• "Can also double as a water tub for a cat or for the kids to play in."

Cons:

• "It’s good for soaking clothes but the more water you put in it makes the side collapse."
• "The basket also collapses when laundry is in it. Super inconvenient."

• "If you are buying this to use it as a tub for a child, forget it, because all you have to do is touch the sides and it collapses."
• "It’s also sort of difficult to collapse and unfold — and loud!"
