hi guys
am really excited about this new purchase i have made. I saw one of these on Australian EBay and thought i must have one. I know Chestermike has one which is almost transparent.
Its a 'mini' twin tub washing machine. It is rated for 2.0kgs of clothes to wash and spin altho the spin dryer holds about two thirds of what u can wash in the washer.
It seems to be really powerful, the spinner is very very quiet once all the excess water has finished spraying out of the basket. It doesn't have a pump and is purely gravity drain. i have to position it next to a bathtub to ensure the drain will empty out properly.
I have only washed some small loads so far but am planning on washing some full loads tomorrow so will be videoing as i go :-)
for now heres some pictures.
Enjoy
Matt

and the controls,
the difference between Soft and Standard washing action is the length of time it agitates on each pulsation. I prefer the Soft action as the Standard action is quite violent lol

Mini Twin Tub

Hi Matt,
I have one I bought form Argos which seems identical to yours except for the colour. They are great fun and wash surprisingly well.

Enjoy.

Hi Matty, you`ll have such fun with this little twinny, does a grand job, that vigerous wash action is something as it swirls those clothes around, nice & quiet in operation as well!!!

These are too cute! I would have been bouncing off the walls if I'd been lucky enough to have one when I was a kid.

I wonder if they sell them in the U.S.? Probably not, you know how we scorn upon frivolous consumption ;-)

AAHHH Matt...It's such a cutie! (And I meant the twinnie not you....Although....lol)

Ive been looking at the ones over here for ages.
They look so much fun.
Does it clean well?
How stable is it when it spins?

I have exactly the same washer you have, but mine has the same colors of Mike's washer.

It's really fun to use, congratulations.

The most incredible is the efficiency. It really cleans (sometimes destroys) the clothes.

I just love it.

Of course, as most of the chinese washers, it's very fragile, so be careful. avoid overloading it and also don't use it for everyday laundry.


Congratulations for your new toy. :D


By the way, next week my new Brastemp Eggo will arrive.
Brastemp is the brazilian Whirlpool and a few months ago they launched this mini washer, imported fro China too. it looks like an egg.
