Presawash Off Grid Hand Powered Washing Machine Demonstration

[@TheSupercrazyman11]

lol, you made this more fun than it has any right to be. Another great one!

[@janeclark4915]

It works on the same basis as a vacuum flask… put hot water in it give it a shake and when you unscrew it the pressure is really tight

[@user-Roberto00]

BELLISSIMA questa lavatrice! Finalmente ho visto il funzionamento corretto! Non sapevo della pressione che si creava all' interno! in Italia negli anni 60 vendevano un modello che si chiamava perla,e aveva proprio la forma della perla con due agitatori all' interno che ricordavano gli agitatori attuali.😊

Naughty Rodger…. You made Alexa wake up and set a 4 minute timer twice lol………….😅😂

[@thecaseyrae]

Roger, since you asked, I am like you and wash my undergarments in with my regular clothes. Never have seen anything wrong with it. Figured it's all getting sanitised anyway.

[@WilfredGawen]

this is cool

[@nikkiwoods3401]

👍 ❤❤❤❤

[@joshosborn35]

you can always use a mangle to get rinse it all out

[@Joseph-vf5yq]

Underwear and socks are usually washed separately in Asian countries but that's not overly common in Europe, Australia and America. There are lots of regional differences about how laundry is done. Im not too sure about how washing is done in African countries, and what washing machines and practices are common there.

Gawd what a palaver 😵‍💫

[@dglcomputers1498]

I'd have been lazy and used a drill to spin it, wonder what RPM it would do before breaking!

[@DánielHuszti]

cool 😃

Hey Roger, I’ve been looking at a Miele washing machine, but are they worth the price? I’m in the U.S. and they sell the Miele W1 Series with TwinDos at Lowe’s for $1,699. I have a Samsung 4.5 cu.ft washer and it does the job. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Miele. What’s your thoughts on it? Is it worth getting one even with a smaller 2.4 cu.ft capacity? Does it have any quick wash cycle? How long is it?

[@ibaisaic]

Considering mine had to be scrapped and replaced after one year, I am not keen to recommend Miele washing machines. I doubt I will get another.

[@TheVacCorner]

@@ibaisaic oh okay. Thanks! 😊

[@WJCTechyman]

@@TheVacCorner Whirlpool/Maytag, Speed Queen, these brands have Commercial-grade options. They may not be built like washers from the 60s to the mid-90s but they also don't have a lot of micro-controller based timing systems that Euro-Pliances from Miele or Electrolux have either. The only place to buy something like this is a reputable, independent appliance dealer. Don't go to big box stores, those machines are often made to a price point.

[@shallremainnameless1998]

You just need a mangle to complete the set 😂

[@s.kxx1956]

Imagine connecting a power drill onto this !

[@WJCTechyman]

My thoughts exactly but I think that the drill has to be relatively large otherwise the inertia of the red propane tank-looking drum could be too much.

[@WJCTechyman]

I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but I would connect a motor to that shaft through a pulley or even find a way to make a bit for a drill and keep the speed low. On the underwear thing, socks and underwear are a separate wash for at least two reasons: one is the hot wash as washing undies in hot water may clean them more effectively but the main reason is keeping the the clothes separated from socks and underwear due to friction of different fabrics causing those little fuzzy things on either of them. I live in North America and for clothes washing machines they are typically of the top loader variant (although in some instances front loader "tumbler" style washers are often used more for delicates or in a commercial laundromat) that also have a horn-shaped agitator that moves the clothes and the water around. A downside to these kinds of machines is the amount of water used in each cycle. I guess in Europe and the UK you guys have combo machines where washing and drying is all done in the same machine. We still have two separate machines and the dryers are either gas fired or electric heat and in both typically require a duct to the outside. The electric dryer is also one of the largest consumers of electricity in the house either matching or exceeding the breaker rating of an electric tank water heater but less than an electric cooking stove/range. The circuit they have is dual voltage (120/240 V) at 30 A and the plug and outlet makes the typical UK 13 A plug and outlet look like a toy with four massive pins (some places have a three-pin but that's without a ground in the cord and is slowly being displaced by the 4-pin) that plugs into an equally massive receptacle.

It looks like a cement mixer

[@manomuncher1]

Do like your review on this..😂😂 Very good idea tho if this was ever to happen😮.. 😊

[@squirrel6158]

underware gets washed on its own ,so do the towels

[@Joseph-vf5yq]

Towels definitely get washed on their own as they are abrasive to the other clothes. Underwear and socks are usually washed separately in Asian countries but that's not overly common in Europe, Australia and America. There are lots of regional differences about how laundry is done. 😊

[@janeclark4915]

There’s only one on eBay for £30

[@patricksingh9069]

If you read the front it says "MADE IN ENGLAND "

[@ibaisaic]

Jane is quoting something I said in the video about alternative machines that are similar to the Presawash.
