Those sort of table top models pop up on eBay all the time under various brands: Kenmore, Handy-Hot, Silex, and others. Some were designed with a wringer attachment that fitted onto the side of the unit for wringing out the laundry, others weren't. Basically one put detergent, water, laundry into the units, closed the lid, then set agitation time via the timer. When the wash cycle was done one had to either wring,squeeze or some how get the wash water out of the laundry, dump the wash water out, refill with rinse water, put the laundry back into the tub, set the timer again, allow the "rinse" cycle to complete and repeat the wringing out and or rinse cycle again. Basically a small wringer type washer without built in wringers, and cannot spin dry. These washers were sold as popular for doing very small wash loads (danties, baby's laundry,socks, etc), or taking along on vacation (camping, cabin at the lake, etc), and when compared to beating your laundry against a rock were only slighlty better in saving time and effort! *LOL* Some units were actually designed for use on a stove top, so one could have a "hot" wash. This might have come in handy in a cold water flat, or cabin/camping where hot water supply was scarce. Again compared to hand washing probably took only sighly less effort. Launderess |
