anyone seen one?

two or three times a week i walk accros the border to matamoros mexico and have a meal.this morning as i was walking by a big appliance store there was a guy demonstrating a washing machine.it resembeled a shopvac.basicly this thing snapped onto any 5 gallon bucket and washed your clothes.it was 110 volt.it was no bigger than the top of a shopvac.you put your clothes in along with water and soap and pluged it in.there was a drain fitting on the bottom for the spin cycle.this guy had a pile of dirty jeans and the ones he pulled out were very clean.this would be real handy for my rpod.im going back with a freind that speaks spanish and find out more.the price was 1760 pesos which is about 161 dollars.i googled everything i could think of but to no avail.has anyone seen these?

interesting,  thanks.this thing in mexico was much smaller,i will look at it good tommorow

Sounds interesting, might really be useful on a long trip instead of wasting vacation time sitting in a laundromat.  You could run it from an inverter going down the road.
