Need Small Washing Machine for Baby Cloths

You're looking for a "portable washing machine". The most common kind is around $100-$200. You hook it up to your sink faucet for water in, and loop the water out hose back into the sink. There's a smaller couple gallon electric type you just fill yourself that's around $50.

You could also look at the paper for estate sales or garage sales or through Craigslist for a used portable washing machine. We had one in our first apartment that was ancient--it belonged to my husband's grandmother and still worked just fine. I had to make sure to clamp the drain hose into the sink or it would just fly and spray all over the kitchen. Before we had that, I actually did our laundry in the bathtub sometimes--just agitated it really, really well (sometimes with my feet), rinsed, then walked on it again to get as much water as possible out, then pressed it between towels before hanging it up. That won't work so well with baby spit-up and blown-out diapers, but might get you by on a bad day.

Try freecycle, too - you might get one for free.

As soon as I'm settled in my new apartment I'm ordering this one http://www.target.com/Haier-Cu-Ft-Compact-Pulsator-Washer...

It got really good reviews on Amazon, but the shipping on Target is cheaper. Also, I like that if theres a problem you can return it to any Target location.

Look in Fingerhut. They have a couple in there to choose from.
