I think you need to look at this in terms of what it's designed for, not to compare it with a fully automatic washer dryer. It's cheap, aimed at mobile clothes washing, but can, at a pinch, function well in a small apartment. It does 2 things. Moves water around clothes and spins gently. Not more and not without manual intervention. In addition it's easy to make a big mess, so needs using with care. And the small capacity means many washes instead of the chuck it all in approach for the big machines. Construction is plastic. Pretty light (great for camping/mobile homes) but doesn't feel robust. Time will tell if it lasts or not. Small and compact, easy to stow. An annoyance is that the protective plastic on the lid doesn't come off cleanly, and it now has a fringe of this between the lid centre and the trim ring around it. Looks very scruffy. Load capacity is small and the spin basket much smaller, so although it will easily wash a pair of my (gents large) jeans, these won't fit in the spin basket. So the sequence is wash, rinse (maybe 2 or 3 times), hang jeans up wet after squeezing the worst out by hand. For full mixed loads separate into smaller batches and spin separately. Yes, you'll need a wash bucket to go with it. First attempt with this was close to being a disaster. I set it up, put washing liquid in, added water and knocked the hose off. Out comes water... Mostly soap as that went in first. Oops. Double oops, cos that means mess and that if you add the soap first, much of it drops into the hose and doesn't get to the clothes. The hose hook/clip is not good, and the hose extension seems to have a life of it's own, constantly making a dive for the floor like a South American soccer player. And each time it succeeds, there's more mess. Secure that hose well. And only add the soap after you've put the water in. However the clothes come out clean - and if not clean enough after the first 10 minute cycle, put it on for a further 10 minutes. The water that comes out from dirty clothes looks disgusting. I never realised just how much crap they pick up until I saw this. Significant rinsing is needed, I found 3 3 minute cycles with half the original amount of water worked well. Unless there was too much soap originally. But be sure to drain completely in between cycles. Tipping the machine towards the hose gets a bit more out. And just continue until you get clean, soap free water coming out. Spin - gets the worst out, but don't expect too much. You'll need mains power and a sink fairly close together. And using warm-hot water improves cleaning a lot. All in all it works for me. Just don't expect full functionality from this - it's not designed for it.
Mislim da ovo trebate gledati u smislu za što je dizajnirano, a ne uspoređivati ga s potpuno automatskom perilicom-sušilicom. Jeftin je, namijenjen mobilnom pranju rublja, ali može, u najmanju ruku, dobro funkcionirati u malom stanu. Radi 2 stvari. Pomiče vodu po odjeći i lagano se okreće. Ne više i ne bez ručne intervencije. Osim toga, lako je napraviti veliki nered, pa ga treba pažljivo koristiti. A mali kapacitet znači mnogo pranja umjesto da se sve to baci u pristup velikim strojevima. Konstrukcija je plastična. Prilično lagan (odličan za kampiranje/mobilne kućice), ali ne djeluje robusno. Vrijeme će pokazati hoće li potrajati ili ne. Mali i kompaktan, jednostavan za pospremanje. Smetnja je što se zaštitna plastika s poklopca ne skida čisto, a sada ima rub između sredine poklopca i ukrasnog prstena oko njega. Izgleda vrlo otrcano. Nosivost je mala, a košara za centrifugu mnogo manja, pa iako će lako oprati par mojih (velikih muških) traperica, ove neće stati u košaru za centrifugu. Dakle, slijed je pranje, ispiranje (možda 2 ili 3 puta), objesite traperice mokre nakon što ste rukom istisnuli ono najgore. Za puna miješana punjenja odvojite u manje serije i centrifugirajte odvojeno. Da, uz to će vam trebati kanta za pranje. Prvi pokušaj s tim bio je gotovo katastrofalan. Postavio sam ga, stavio tekućinu za pranje, dodao vode i skinuo crijevo. Izlazi voda... Uglavnom sapun jer je prvo ušao. ups Dvostruko ups, jer to znači nered i da ako prvo dodate sapun, većina ga pada u crijevo i ne dolazi do odjeće. Kuka/kopča za crijevo nije dobra, a čini se da produžetak crijeva ima svoj vlastiti život, neprestano skačući prema podu poput južnoameričkog nogometaša. I svaki put kad uspije, bude više nereda. Dobro učvrstite to crijevo. I dodajte sapun tek nakon što ste stavili vodu. Međutim, odjeća izlazi čista - i ako nije dovoljno čista nakon prvih 10 minuta ciklusa, stavite je na dodatnih 10 minuta. Voda koja izlazi iz prljave odjeće izgleda odvratno. Nikada nisam shvatio koliko sranja pokupe dok nisam vidio ovo. Potrebno je značajno ispiranje, otkrio sam da su 3 ciklusa od po 3 minute s pola izvorne količine vode dobro funkcionirala. Osim ako izvorno nije bilo previše sapuna. Ali pazite da se potpuno iscijedite između ciklusa. Naginjanjem stroja prema crijevu izvlači se malo više. I samo nastavite dok ne počnete izlaziti čista voda bez sapuna. Spin - izvlači najgore, ali ne očekujte previše. Trebat će vam struja i sudoper prilično blizu jedan drugome. A korištenje toplo-vruće vode uvelike poboljšava čišćenje. Sve u svemu radi mi. Samo ne očekujte potpunu funkcionalnost od ovoga - nije dizajnirano za to.
