It's a cute little machine especially with the viewing windows, but so much plasteek!
It looks like you order replacement parts from Tupperware. Did you mean "max temp of 160 degrees?" added...how very interesting that a theatre company would take those when touring. This post was last edited 08/07/2014 at 17:33 |

Pretty sure he meant 60C. 140F. Some plastic TTs are only good to 120F. Mine (3mos old) is rated 113, leaks slightly at 120 on the pump side but not at all at 113. Almost identical to the photo, including the blue tint windows and ribs in the 'cabinet'. Motors are 240W wash, 140W spin. No struggle, they boogie.
I have access to TL and FL coinops but use the TT exclusively. A somewhat elegant surfactant concentrate (regular Tide powder, Henkel Persil, STPP, sodium percarbonate) plus up to an hour soak gets skin/body items white. Even concentrated, suds is not an issue. 150sec final spin takes only 20min in the coinop dryer for 3 washloads. Smells like fresh line dried and towels are soft without 'rinse agent' (goo). Soak with intermittent agitation is your best friend. Can get a whole queen set in at once but not to turn the timer to 12m and walk away. Will only get 12m clean and the disc agi is aggressive in scrubbing and in knotting larger items. Occasional agitation over 1 hour works best. 'Office' clothes need less soak. Anyhow I'm completely satisfied with the results from a $250 (incl ship) machine. Scaled and packed to smuggle into buildings that prohibit tenants from operating their own machinery, the outer box doesn't say 'washer' on it. |
