i thought so as well.. i was thrilled to get it... now im trying to find one of those spinner dryer things not electric

I’ve been thinking about getting one of these.. thanks for your video

I have used one of these since 2016 & i rinse in my big sink & a bucket , then i either let drip over the bath on my 5 line or i have wringers & a salad type spinner , i love not using electric especially now as times are going to be really hard for money .

According to the manufacturer, it should be 5 lbs. of clothes per wash load. I had ordered one a couple years ago and after the first load I had a clunking sound and i could feel it in the handle but could not see anything. I did return it to Laundry Alternative with no problems. I do recommend the Ninja Spin Dryer through this company. Its been 2 yrs. and is still going strong.

Looks good for use on my soon to be live aboard sailing boat. I just ordered a little used one from a US seller on Ebay for delivery to here in the UK. They are hard to find here.

you will not regret it, they are awesome little machines.. mine is still holding up

If anyone is interested in off grid and being more self sufficient I created a 2nd channel for all that stuff. It is called Zero Waste Homestead.

I would stick a plunger in it too Push more water out of it

I'd be careful about that. While the tub is pretty sturdy, the triangular frame is not reinforced. It twists. I'd be afraid the frame might buckle from small force applied. If it had a waffle grid matrix inside, i'd be more confident, but the way it has rocks when spinning a load that got lopsided, made me treat it a bit more gently. I have not been able to source any a la carte replacement parts for this system from the company or elsewhere and that makes me very nervous.

U never showed the inside.. does it spin or agitate when you spin it? Or is it basically a bucket you spin?

I used to use this machine in the bathtub but I just don't have the strength to wring out the clothing nor the space to hang it and let it drip out that much water. If I had a spinner dryer thing I would but I just use my regular washing machine in the bad weather.

Gonna look for one of these save on electricity

Seems that once drained, you can spin the clothes in the unit.

They are more or less a set.weather ur trying to go green, afraid of the coronavirus or you simply can’t afford to buy a traditional washer dryer set. There’s that is the cheaper more environmental set

@@ae5116, Once the unit has been drained after wash, centrifugal force would work by cranking handle a bit faster. Repeated draining would probably be necessary. Of course it wouldn’t be as perfect as a spinning machine but I suspect it could be good enough. I don’t own the machine and currently use buckets. Am currently leaning more towards the electric collapsable washer/spinner sold on amazon.

What about to rinse the clothes?
