Review of mini washing machines with spin for the garden

Mini washing machine for the cottage with spin. It sounds somehow implausible. What kind of miniature washing machine is this, which also has a built-in spin function? Surely this is a very useful technique, which is very much appreciated by summer residents. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's sort it out in order.

What kind of washing machines will we be talking about?

It is important in this case to define the terminology. In other words, we must understand what washing machines we are talking about. Firstly, since the washing machine is called mini, it means that it must be relatively small in size so that it can be carried. Secondly, the washing machine we are interested in must operate independently from the water supply and sewerage system. Thirdly, such washing machines for summer cottages must carry out a full cycle of laundry care. This means that the following must be available:

wash;
rinsing;
spin

Activator washing machines are capable of spinning laundry if there is a separate tank where the centrifuge is located.

The main problem is in the spin cycle, since there are quite a lot of compact washing machines for dachas that can operate without running water and still wash and rinse clothes. We are not interested in such washing machines. We only need those that can wring out laundry, and we will devote our review to them.

Model overview

They forgot to say that a country washing machine should still be relatively inexpensive. After all, few people buy expensive compact washing equipment for their dacha, although, of course, there are all sorts of cases. The country version of the washing machine is an inexpensive option, and we tried to adhere to this concept when we compiled this review. Yes, here he is, actually.

Pros and cons of mini washing machines

Miniature washing machines for dachas have a significant number of advantages, which is why they are loved not only by summer residents, but also by residents of private houses, elderly people, bachelors and many others.Just think:

such a washing machine is absolutely independent of the presence or absence of water supply and sewerage, pour water in a bucket and go ahead, wash to your heart’s content;
the dimensions of country washing machines are more or less modest, in any case, such a machine will fit into the trunk of a passenger washing machine without problems and there will still be quite a lot of space left;
Despite their modest size, these washing machines are quite spacious, some wash up to 8 kg of laundry at once;
the machines presented in our review also have a centrifuge, which allows you not only to wash and rinse laundry, but also to spin it out efficiently;
mini washing machines are not only small in size, but also light in weight, which also makes them easy to transport to and from the country;
mini washing machines have very easy and accessible controls; even older people, who are usually very conservative and do not like modern technology, can figure it out.

These washing machines also have disadvantages. Although here, from which side you look. If we compare these machines with automatic washing machines, they will certainly lose, but if we try to be more objective, we can highlight the following disadvantages.

These washing machines have very few functions, which prevents them from washing delicate items, but there are exceptions.
To wash clothes in such a machine, you need to be nearby. You need to pour water, start the wash, drain the used water, pour in clean water and start rinsing. Then you need to transfer the laundry to a centrifuge and spin it out. This is all quite inconvenient.
It is impossible to heat water in such machines, so you will have to get titanium at your dacha, an ordinary boiler, or heat the water on a stove. Heating water requires additional time.

In conclusion, we note that miniature washing machines with an activator and a centrifuge for the garden are an excellent solution if you want to wash clothes with high quality almost in camp conditions. Of course, these washing machines are significantly inferior in functionality to automatic machines, but that’s how you look at it. Good luck with your choice!
