O Deseño

Sobre Hydrowash Lavadora

Hydrowash é unha lavadora semiautomática portátil de dobre cuba. Unha cuba lava e a outra centrifuga, e a roupa móvese entre as cubas a man. Os mandos situados baixo a tapa principal controlan o tempo de lavado, a intensidade do lavado, o nivel da auga e o tempo de secado, o que mantén o exterior limpo e o interior fácil de entender. A zona interior de lavado contén os derramamentos e as salpicaduras. Unha asa extraíble e unhas rodas pronunciadas permiten que a máquina sexa movida por unha soa persoa. O corpo está fabricado en plástico moldeado por inxección e ten un perfil sereno semellante ao dun barco, axeitado para fogares compactos.
