Om Hydrowash Vaskemaskine
Hydrowash er en transportabel halvautomatisk vaskemaskine med to kar. Det ene kar vasker, og det andet centrifugerer, og tøjet flyttes mellem karrene med hånden. Knapper placeret under hovedlåget styrer vasketid, vaskeintensitet, vandniveau og tørretid, hvilket holder ydersiden ren og indersiden nem at forstå. Det indre vaskeområde opfanger spild og stænk. Et trækhåndtag og markante hjul gør det muligt for én person at flytte maskinen. Kabinettet er fremstillet af sprøjtestøbt plast og har en rolig bådlignende profil, der passer til kompakte hjem.
