I've read several negative reviews of water in the pocket and that it is too hard to use. The only way it gets you wet is you used too much water. This item does not need much water. Secondly, it takes 5 seconds to clean your ball. There's not much movement but it works very well. If you cannot get the ball clean, it's a user error.The only reason I did not give a 5 star is the mold smell after 2 times of using it. This is the second one I bought because the first one got so bad with the mold smell that I had to throw it away. The second one, I made sure I air dried it by taking the inside lining out and washed it after several usage but the mold smell started and it will not go away.I've tried microwaving it to burn the mold. I've tried soaking it in Lysol to kill the mold. No luck!Other than the smell, this item works great!

Works well.
