Om Hydrowash Vaskemaskin

Hydrowash er en bærbar halvautomatisk vaskemaskin med to kar. Det ene karet vasker og det andre sentrifugerer, og klærne flyttes mellom karene for hånd. Brytere plassert under hovedlokket styrer vasketid, vaskeintensitet, vannivå og sentrifugeringstid, noe som holder utsiden ren og innsiden lett å forstå. Det innvendige vaskeområdet fanger opp søl og sprut. Et trekkhåndtak og markerte hjul gjør at maskinen kan flyttes av én person. Kabinettet er laget av sprøytestøpt plast og har en rolig, båtlignende profil som passer til kompakte hjem.
