Look what I found.
This washer is very interesting

I had one of those a few years ago and I plan to buy other soon.

This washer is great for those who wants a second washer to speed up the wash days or for those who can't afford an expensive automatic washer.

It's semi-automatic (does all the functions automatically, but doesn't spin)
it washes a big load amazingly quick and the results are always excellent.
It's body is 100% plastic and the drum is stainless steel and plastic.
Silent, economic, dependabe and the best thing: It costs something around USD 100.
The cycles are very simple: wash, 3 rinses, including a softener dispenser that dispenses the softener during the last rinse fill.

Is funny to go to an appliances store in Agentina and see this model surrounded by TOL Aristons, Hotpoints, Whirpools and GEs

Page 4. Whose outlet type is that?
How many volts? Hertz?

40 litres/ 10 gallons per load.

Do not use above 50*C.

It's like our little Chinese HAIER toys!

It sort of resembles a giant Mouli rotary cheese grater.

Some Parmesan with your shredded undergarments?

Unfortunatelly the website and the use and care instructions aren't available in english.

The instructions are basicly the same of every washer...
put your clothes in, close the drum's hatch, add the detergent and fill the softener dispenser close the lid, select the program and press the power button.
when the dial reaches the "end" mark and you hear the washer is quiet, press the power button again to turn it off, open the lid, open the drum's hatch, take the clothes out and spin using a spin dryer or your automatic washer or squeeze to remove the excess of water (and get muscle arms without going to the gym.)


This is a real HE washer LOL

It's also useful as cheese grater.




The most unbeliveable about this little "thing".

It cleans perfectly and it's dependable. (not like the chinese crap)

Similar machines were pretty popular overhere in Europe, especially in the Netherlands. Only overhere they had a heating element and were able to do boil washes. They aren't made anymore because they used too much water according modern standards because they can't spin between rinses.

I have two compact H-axis no spin toploaders. A Constructa and a Miele. The Constructa has 5 rinses in the regular cycle, the Miele has 6.

Here's a link to pictures of my Constructa:

It must be a pretty cheap washer if it doesn't spin. It reminds me of the Staber washer which is the only Top-Loading Horizontal-Axis washer made and sold in the USA.

it IS very cheap...

And a great washer... Just like Dr.Who´s TARDIS.
Outside it´s compact, inside it´s huge.

Nice find, but I can`t imagine it could possibly give an acceptable rinse result with only 40 l and no extraction between rinses.
Those half automatics Louis mentioned used about 180 l of water for similar load size to get the job done.

These argentinian washer spends a lot of water.
But unfortunatelly, in South America, people don´t care too much about water saving yet.
