Ideal Camping Companion – We looked at these ages ago but thought nope a bucket will do. A friend of ours just bought one and said its the best thing they ever bought for… Read more

camping. So here we are...

Wow, I'm so impressed with the quality of the materials its solid and sturdy and its soooo easy to use!! If im being completely honest though, it will be interesting to see how it is a year from now.

We literally just un-boxed it and 5 mins later using it. I took videos to share BUT had to really cut one down showing it working but couldnt include the spin cycle..which is a shame!!! Another one is of the clothes on the line after to show how much moisture extracted from the spin.

Use: Camping We regularly 2-3 times per year camp on the beach for at least 1 week to 4 weeks at a stretch. This machine for us is a time saver, as we usually have to wait for laundry build-up and then drive 30+ ks on the beach, through Noosaville traffic only to sit at a laundromat...$10 per load, to the drive back hang ect. Now we can do it in camp, we have enough water and power to run it, so we can't wait next week to use it!

Instructions: We found them to very easy and uncomplicated. Owners manual has diagrams as well as written ones with installation, power requirements, advice and tips down to a washing guide for the different clothing types and corresponding recommended cycle to set for them.

For our first load, we washed 4 heavier types of clothing with light soiling to see how it went and we are very happy. The spin cycle is very smooth and there's no soggy clothes as you can spin it out as many times as you need!

We hooked it up to the normal garden hose at home, and it worked perfectly or you can bucket water in if that's all you have. We have a camp trailer so we can hook it up to using the shower fittings we already have. #winning

It tells you everything from the water level, lint cleaning to what sort of detergent to use. READ the instructions... honestly they couldn't have made it any simpler to follow!

ITS A KEEPER...thanks Black Friday Sales :)

Con: I don't think this is for us, but for heavey items like jeans and beach towels 1 or 2 items per load as it's not built for really heavey loads.

☆☆This is not for normal everyday family use, as in its enough to get you out of trouble or like for camping. IT DOES WHAT IT IS INTENDED USE IS FOR, it may just take a little longer.
