Scrubba Wash Bag MINI Ultra-Compact Washing Machine - Ideal for Travel, Camping & Hiking | Portable Washer & Dry Bag, 50% smaller than original Scrubba

After buying the original scrubba in 2018 and having it be a travel staple on at least 10 trips, I was SO excited to see that a mini version had been created, as I normally wash clothes every day while traveling and the normal sized one seemed a bit overkill for a tshirt and some socks.Unfortunately, I noticed as soon as I opened it that the materials (clasps especially) seemed to be much lower quality, and on only my second wash, it started leaking in a way my normal sized scrubba never did. I've been incredibly disappointed by this, and wish that the quality had stayed the same!**Edit: after being contacted by Scrubba, it turns out that my Scrubba had a manufacturing defect. Super satisfied with the customer service, changing to 5* review!

Let’s be real, it’s just a dry sack with an air valve, clear window on ⅓ of sack (see photo for how satisfying it is to see your clothes get clean), and a built in internal nubby washboard.Probably worth more like 20$, but when you’re traveling and able to get some fresh clothes, the steeper price tag is well worth it. Just got back from two weeks in South America living out of my backpack, and it was magical being able to pack WAY fewer clothes. Photo is of after washing one shirt, shorts, and a pair of socks after a day in the desert.PRO TIP: take liquid detergent in your carry on liquids in the little 3 oz bottles, or get the Fiji sheet detergent, because TSA doesn’t like powdered unlabeled detergent in a plastic baggie. And if you put too much water in, you can’t reach through all the way and scrub on the board as well. Easier to do 2 smaller “loads” than half-a$$ one big load. This doesn’t hold too much, like washes one outfit, but it barely takes up any room or weight in your travel cases.And I wish I was paid to write this but alas I wasn’t.And I’m obvs not a robot because what kind of self-respecting robot would use the word “alas”

I was excited to buy this for a backpacking trip I have planned for January of 2025. I bought it early to try it out at home. I use it to rinse underwear during my cycle (I know, gross, but it is a reality for some women). So I've used it about once a month inside my house. Last month I noticed that when I set it down about a quarter full, there was a pool of water forming. I thought maybe it was from the outside, but now I see that it is leaking from the seam. Bummer that I'm out of the return window. AUPDATESince I couldn't return through Amazon, I contacted the manufacturer. They were great and are sending me a replacement stating that it looked like I got a bad egg. Super fast communication. Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer. Added a few stars for great customer service.

I took this on vacation to Disney, hoping to do a little laundry while we were there. I didn’t realize this bag is only supposed to hold like one pair of underwear and a couple socks. It would not be worth the energy to do a load that small. (I wanted to wash like 5 undergarments plus socks). I will buy the larger one.****EDITED TO ADD****I used it to wash a shirt and didn’t have a whole load to do. It was hand wash only. I was praising this company in my mind because this totally did the trick with no Muss and no fuss. This is my new favorite thing and I highly recommend.

We’d been using a regular dry bag for the last six months to do sink laundry while traveling (in addition to using it as a dry bag for boat stuff, snorkeling, etc), and we were excited to try out this scrubby option. Unfortunately, multiple seams have come apart, making it useless for either washing or keeping things dry.After the first use, the clamping ribbon started separating from the bag. That was easy enough to work around, but after another few uses, the window seal sprung leaks. Still kinda okay as long as we kept it on its back and were careful. But after only a few more uses, the side seam has opened up, making it completely worthless.Maybe this one was just defective, but it’s too expensive to chance it. Save your money and just use a tried and true dry bag.

I recently went to Europe with carry on luggage only. I was going to borrow the larger Scrubba from a friend but saw this small one which is perfect for under wear and bras. I even used to to wash a few tank tops and a tee.

I was so excited to get this item in the mail as it was going to come with me over to Europe for my three week adventure. Tested it at home and worked great only to take it out for its second use while away in Europe and one of the seams now leaks. So frustrating as the whole point of getting this item was so I didn’t have to go in search of washing machines while away, but alas that’s exactly what I have to do now.Such a great concept, but sadly not long-standing quality.

I've used mine on multiday hikes. I have light weight quick drying synthetic base layers and thermal layers. I can wash these in the scrubber (small size is suitable for hiking - undergarments, T-shirts, shorts and socks also some alpha direct fleece hoodies which are quick drying thermal layers) When i make camp the clothes dry quickly so they are clean and fresh to put on in the morning. stops unsociable hiking BO. I use an environmentally friendly soap in the scrubba. I can also the scrubba as a waterproof roll top bag. I have also purchased a large size for car camping and travel. They are a clever design, possibly expensive for what they are but these are the only ones I could find and I appreciate the innovation so happy with the purchase.
