I wonder if many know what this is?
I had one.
It was made by Hotpoint and lasted for well over 10 years.
I used it frequently and it saved me money by not having to switch on the washing machine.
It's a small spin dryer.
Popular in Japanese households, it allows you to spin out clothes which have been hand washed such as wool jumpers, underwear and the like.
Most people discarded them when front loading machines came down in price and did everything for you.
I must admit I still favour these little machines. Rated at A+++ they have good credentials and use little electricity because you use them for such a short period (they spin out the excess water very quickly, in seconds really).
Yes, it means getting up close and personal with some of the washing but if you've already paid for hot water why not use it without adding more electricity to the mix.
Oh, but shoving it in the washing machine is easier!
Yes it is. Some of us just prefer a less high tech way of doing things I suppose.
