Laundry Backpack
video review
intro
Well it turns out this is a pretty useful product according to TWO of our team members. In fact, Hannah has used a laundry backpack for over 5 years. We’ve included both of their reviews and videos here. The models do vary slightly, so make sure to search for the one that has features that look good to you.

review by Sarah
This BeeGreen backpack is large and spacious. It can hold a full load of laundry–possibly two. It has a small pouch on the outside of it, which can hold individual laundry detergent pods, or a small bag of powder detergent. It does not have a zipper to fully close on the top–just a cover that buckles. The backpack doesn’t have any back support or padding.
It worked well enough for me. I needed to carry laundry up and down stairs, and I needed both hands free to balance, to hold railings. Though it could be improved with a top zipper and a bit of back support, this backpack served that intended purpose for me.
Additional thoughts from Hannah on a similar style of laundry backpack:
How long I’ve been using this product: 5+ years
How often I use this product: Once a week
My gut feeling: I love this laundry basket so much!
Why did you choose this product? It helps me carry my laundry efficiently, without having to drag it with me down the hallway. And I like the drawstring, which keeps my clothes from falling out.
Pros: I love the material, because it is similar to tent canvas, but slightly rougher. I used this laundry bag a lot when I was in college, because I lived on the third floor of my residence hall. And I had to walk all the way down SIX flights of stairs just to get to the laundry room in the basement. This laundry bag really helped me during that time because I didn’t have to worry about dragging it with me down the stairs behind me, and having the bottom of the bag get dirty along the way. I could just carry it like a regular backpack. Now I live in an apartment building and I can walk down the hallway and take my dirty clothes with me to the laundry room. Without having to drag anything! Another thing that I like about this laundry basket is the drawstring. I can use it to tie the whole thing closed, without everything falling out. And there’s a zipper on the inside for holding Tide Pods, which are pre-measured packets of detergent that dispense onto your clothes. It also has straps that you can tighten or loosen so it fits comfortably on your shoulders.
Cons: The straps are hard to adjust, and it always slides on my back.
review update
No, I don’t use this anymore (because of moving). I no longer have to deal with stairs for laundry, and it wasn’t supportive enough to keep from straining my back with a heavy load.
