Hi all, I immediately apologize for the bad quality of the video due to the undersigned, and partially to the crappy phone camera.
I just wanted to record this tonight for some reasons:
One is that maybe I found a new owner for my Mini basket that I actually never use...
So what a better way to give it's inside a nice cleaning and celebrate the last "wash" in it?
Second reason is that I never really made a washer video, so I took this opportunity to practice for my future videos that I'd enjoy make soon and always wanted to.
So please be indulgent, and sorry for any inconvenience such as seasickness, various side effects etc ...
Sorry also for the audio,first lesson learned: Be careful you don't put your finger in the microphone hole. :D
What else to say....

You're all warned! LOL
Watch this at your own risk.
Please don't be too hard with commenting.
What you will see is a quick video made tonight with a "large-mini basket load" consisting of lightly soiled garments: 2 T-shirts, 2 boxers, 1 shirt...

Thank you:

The video quality is quite good for a cell phone - my first digital camera couldn't even come close to this.

Nothing like seeing a mini-wash in action! How I miss these...

Thanks for posting and keep the videos coming!

I always thought that filter flow action was one of the best. Is it still used in current day GE's?

Thanks for the video, it brought back memories of watching my aunt's GE with the mini basket in action.

Retromania Today's GE's are garbage.

Hi Andy, glad you liked it,  as it was said, no unfortunately in nowaday's ge is not used, and personally are nothing but crappy machines.....
Hi Carl, glad it liked to you also. I'm about doing other videos this weekend.
Yes I grated soap on my own, it is cheaper than ready grated soap flakes you buy....I also buy the yellow Jelly soap sometimes, it is made from coconut oil,  you grate it or cut small pieces and let it dissolve while agitating  so that soap does not get stuck each other (same technique I use for flakes) and when  water is sudsy add clothes, (having a bypassed lid switch or a screwdriver helps)...
You need to use water softener and perborate if you have heavy soiled laundry, it is not the greater soap I tried but it's pretty good, ..for light to normal  soiled laundry is just good alone.
Here is a pic of the jelly  soap...are you interested in it for the next swap? It's scentless but does greatly compared to the average  commercial laundry soaps of today's!

I'm about writing you in PVT now.
Thanks

Hi Freddy speaking of next swap look what I have. I had some friends that went to Fort Smith Ark. and they got me 4 boxes of Oxydol. I have been using it and it is great. I have saved one for the next swap. That bar soap sounds good. e-mail me through this site. Carl
