I use the Strucket to scour raw wool fleece prior to processing for hand spinning. It allows the wool to float freely in the water while soaking, and the ability to drain the water out below it so that I can push excess water out of the wool in the strainer without agitating the it is fantastic.
I have the sweater size and the smaller one is perfect for blocking hats, shawl and smaller tops.
I now own 3 large strucket buckets, 2 Strucket minis, and 2 of the Strucket Tennies. I haven’t used any of them as advertised - I have cleaned sheep and alpaca fleeces, fabric scraps that got wet, and small amounts of fiber that I get from my Fiber Clubs. I absolutely love them. I don’t have to touch anything that I wash.
I just started using this today and I love it! I am washing raw wool in small batches and this makes my process so much easier...thank you!

I’d buy a bigger one if you make it. I use it to wash wool fiber for spinning and it works perfectly! I love that I can drain the water out from the bottom.
I really like the convenience of the Strucket Bundle. I’m always nervous about leaking accidents so I use both of them in my clawfoot tub instead of on the counter. They are a hard plastic so no metallic dings in the bathtub! I had considered using one of my large stock pots with a colander but was afraid garments could get snagged. Not so with the Strucket! All surfaces are very smooth. The design is well thought out. My only comment is that I wish the spigot was a little easier to pull out for arthritic hands. This was on back order for awhile..I’m so very glad I waited!
Although I wish the large Strucket were larger, I have found it and the mini Strucket very practical.
This is well made and was glad there were no small plastic edges which could catch on the yarn!
High quality and easy to use! Plastic seems thick and durable.
Too smal for my needs. Plus it’s pretty pricey for the size.
As a knitter I have always struggled washing larger items. Lifting heavy, water-soaked knitted pieces from a sink or normal bucket is messy and can cause knitted items to stretch. As soon as I received my Strucket Bundle I put the large Strucket to use. No mess, no stretched fabrics. Handwashing is no longer a dreaded chore. What a great design!
Just as good as I was hoping. Very pleased with my purchase.
The Strucket is a great product and can be used for so many things. It is easy to use, well made, and nice to look at. I will be using mainly for knit and crochet items.
We eat a large salad nightly with a lot of veggies and fruits; I also make soups and bake fruit into nut breads. We now soak everything in the Mini Strucket. It is pretty gross how much dirt is in the food we buy from the store! But no longer - everything is cleansed and there is no concern about eating dirt or even bugs! We loved ours so much that we bought one for our daughter.
She said she always means to rinse the vegetables. But it’s time consuming and that is no longer an excuse! This is quick and easy! We tell everyone we know - everyone should use this!
Love all the color options available and so much easier than a typical bucket for hand washing clothes!

I bought the Strucket because I recently got a sheep fleece that I needed to wash, and a great fiber artist I follow suggested it. It’s super helpful to be able to take the fleece out of the water with the strainer, and I think reduces the work a bit because of it. I honestly was surprised at how small the 19L (about 5 gallons) Strucket appears, but it does hold a lot! I’ve filled it with about 3 gallons of water and 8-9 oz of a very fluffy fleece and it has worked perfectly. The drain works great, as well; although with how dirty the water was to start, I did dump it out in my backyard instead. I wish I could afford a couple more to be able to wash bigger batches at a time! It might even be nice to get a bigger version! Overall, very pleased with my purchase!
I can’t rave about this product enough! Innovative design that makes handwashing my clothing so much easier
I finally finished an oversized very bulky sweater and didn't realize it would be so heavy! There is no way I could have wet blocked it without the strucket. A difficult task was made very easy!
