hi my mate bought one 3 yrs ago from 12volt shop. it as been used by up to 8 of us at a time its absolutely brill . only takes small loads and with sheets it needs a hand to keep the clothes moving . but the spinner is excellent. we have put things through my mangle and then spun them it still gets alot more out. definately on my list of new toys to get. i use a single tub bought in spain several years ago but would like a twintub. we use all the 240volt stuff through solar panels and inverters as we go wild all the time . no electric in the desert . cheers alan.

I've always been tempted, but want to keep that payload as low as possible. It's only 12KG, but it all adds up :-(

Was quite impressed by that but OH declared it no use to us as a family of 4 with young mucky kids as the capacity per wash is too small. Looks fab on you tube though

Hi we have just bought one and it works really well.

You do use some amount of water though, that is the only draw back,

The wash is good but do not over load it as the mechanism at the bottom of the washing isnt able to cope, the spin dryer is excellent.

In our opinion well worth the money

bit like old fashioned washers .do the whites first then work your way to the jeans .keep catching the water and using it again. spin the washed ones then put to one side .rinse at the end . we find wash day is just a day of laughs. we do go away for 6 months so have to have wash days just like when you were a kid . ideally somewhere there is water . cheers alan.

I have one and its one of the best things i have bought for the caravan, i wish i had got it 3 years ago when we went full time its saved us a lot of money not having to pay for washing machines on site.Just dont overload it i do jeans and bedding in mine and it copes very well

I don't think so: You buy the washing machine as a stand-alone but not the spin dryer
