[@leehoffman3604]

I'm excited for you, and I'm a guy. What a luxury on a boat. Good job. I don't think I've ever witnessed two people so excited about washing clothes! LOL, Have fun with the new washer.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@leehoffman3604 hahaha love it! Such a luxury! Seriously we were stoked 😂

[@danstevens5782]

Looks like the kitties like it as much as mom. Congrats on your prize! Good job.STAY SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

[@Daveincc]

Sooo luxurious ! You’re living in cruiser’s luxury ! I’m happy for you :)

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@Daveincc Thankyou 😆 just one more thing to make life more comfortable on a boat 😁

[@markbernier8434]

A fine addition. You will be putting in A/C next.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@markbernier8434 hahah we’ve thought about it 😉 there’s a brand we’d love to work with for those nifty new little units. Watch this space if we can convince them 🤞🏼

[@gohavefun3838]

Great luxury mini wash machine on boat that great❤

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@gohavefun3838 it’s a nifty little thing!

[@johntaggart859]

Really neat installation… make a big difference when you live aboard! More time to make shows🥰

[@lars277]

Getting a good shower or equivalent and keeping your clothes clean is something everyone would agree would be great while sailing.

[@johnwalsh1211]

Great video guys 👍😊

Love you kids! So excited for you. Safe travels. ❤

[@markusschmidt4803]

Danke!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Thankyou Thankyou ☺️❤️✨

[@Ray-xv7rh]

From uk love the video as ever 😂 Small pipeline is more pressure, so always use big pipework as less pressure and less leaking 😊😊

[@gpolya7363]

Really impressive that you could figure out how to install it and make it work.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@gpolya7363 yeah it was a tight squeeze but luckily it fit just perfectly 😅

[@MikeKBYN]

Great job🤩

[@johnmiddleton6252]

Hey congratulations guys that's pretty cool!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@johnmiddleton6252 thanks John 😆😊

[@Marcel-J]

You should put big washers underneath the nuts to spread the load. Otherwise you get dents into the wood.

[@FF04RDF]

Nice one 👍🏻

[@sailingdijan9128]

Awesome! Boy that will help a lot!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@sailingdijan9128 yesss😍 I’m sure you guys know what it’s like as I see you also sail, it will just be nice to be able to do it more regularly and not have the build up of dirty clothes sitting around getting stinky and stains sinking in even further ahah

[@yalcin.bozdemir]

Güle güle kullanın.Enjoy it!

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Thankyou thankyou ☺️

[@timothybloomer8287]

I can see how excited Jason is that he won't have to do handwashing any more.......

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

😂😂😉

[@ian1486]

Awesome addition. I’m keen to see how much water and electricity it uses in real life.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@ian1486 it’s been great so far 😆 it seems to use the approx 35 litres and power wise we’re able to use the mixed load wash which actually heats the water slightly and goes for longer😊 quick wash is ok but def doesn’t clean as well as this program

[@carltontweedle5724]

One thing always check power and water before turning it on.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@carltontweedle5724 thanks, talking from experience? Or just think it’s better to do so?

[@jwendelidealizando]

Gosto muito do conteúdo do seu canal, eu parabenizo vocês pelas, iniciativa

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Thankyou so much ❤️☺️

[@colinfrasi9445]

Before I watched this episode, When I read the title, I thought that the washer was the sort you put on a bolt or screw lol

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@colinfrasi9445 hahah 😂😂 I actually had washing machine before but thought it looked like too long of a title so tried to shorten it. Maybe I should change it back 🙊

[@dennispatrick4999]

It will make your lives better!! Fantastic decision. But, unbox large boxes on the dock or cockpit.

[@Yerman74]

Wont Somebody Please Think Of The Cats!! (Just kidding)

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@Yerman74 hahahah 😂😂🙈 the cats love a new box to explore, we left it for like a day and then were like this thing has to go it’s a hazard haha

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@dennispatrick4999 it’s been amazing so far! Just gotta make sure we can make water and sadly a few weeks later our generator completely died, so now it’s time for some more solar 😅 it never ends lol!

[@dennispatrick4999]

​@@LeadingtheEscapadeMy mother tried for years to get my father to put one on their Grand Banks 42' Europa.

[@curtiskirk584]

Very cool! Isn’t toss a dryer as well as a washer? If so, what’re your thoughts on its drying functions?

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

There is one that has a dryer but we chose the one without. We heard it doesn't work amazingly and it would be pretty rare for us to use it so we thought we'd save the extra money there :)

[@joycebevan2186]

I could do with one like that in my flat🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Hey Nan, that’s what they’re made for really. You definitely could! 😆❤️

[@Nico101.....]

Luxury on the see LOLOL love it !!! Is that a triple A rated mashine? Then it shouldn't use a lot of power!!! What do you always .....HAPPY DAYS......LOLOLOL

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@Nico101..... I think it was B rated, so not bad at all 😆 hahah yess absolutely stoked!!!

[@Div3r]

What is it with cats and cardboard boxes mine is the same. I just know if I spent a fortune on a little house box for my cat it would jump into the box it came in. In the fullness of time, that washer will probably be your best upgrade although it needed the other bit to make it work.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@Div3r hahahah yesss we always say this like why do we buy them anything. Their fave outside toys are zip ties and foil scrunched up in a ball and they love boxes more than their beds😂

[@OspreySailingAdventures]

I love having a washing machine. It’s a necessity not a luxury.

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Agreed!

[@sinjunweston6073]

May i ask what happened to the animal fund that you were running , I dont find a link anymore in your videos. Safe travels Aussie in South Africa

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

Heya ☺️ we still have it, it’s in the description of all our video’s but we can send you the link if you like? There definitely isn’t as many strays in the Caribbean as there were in Europe etc however there is always an animal in need that we come across eventually ❤️ thanks

[@HGills]

Can you fit sheets and towels in it ? How much water does it use ?

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@HGills heya! you can fit a queen size sheet in there but then we do the pillow cases and some other small items in another load. It uses 35 approx 35 litres of water 😁

[@johngrant7696]

Really like how you two work together as a team. My wife and I do the same on our boat projects. Only thing - Based on where you are I would have invested in a good Air Conditioning system before the washer but that’s just me. Cheers

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@johngrant7696 oh thanks John, even if I don’t want to I get roped in somehow 😜🙊 yess 💯 I think the washing machine was more doable with our current power set-up but there’s a brand we’d love to work with for a new air conditioning system so we’re working on it 😆 plus doing some solar upgrades soon, watch this space! Cheers 😊

[@jonathanscott550]

the washing machine will make life so much easier. How about salt water wash none salt to rinse ?

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@jonathanscott550 it only has one line and brings in the water itself so I don’t think we could however because it’s such an expensive machine I think I’d be scared to rust it out using any salt water 🤔 thanks for the suggestion though

[@pollatso]

Don’t over load it it will break.. 👍👍🙏🇬🇧

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@pollatso yess definitely not, we don’t need that happening 😅

[@gpolya7363]

How many boats the size of yours has such a machine?

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

@@gpolya7363 not too many as they’re pretty hard to get your hands on and are outrageously expensive for something that only washes a few Kg’s of clothes. More expensive that a normal home size washing machine but I guess there isn’t many competitors, hopefully they’ll become more popular and go down in price in years to come. The problem for us is we couldn’t go with any other machine as it wouldn’t fit through the doors etc

[@jwendelidealizando]

From Brazilian

[@LeadingtheEscapade]

How cool! Hey to you in Brazil 🇧🇷 😆✨

[@geofflewis8599]

..and I thought the original washer wasn't too bad either!
