Laundry at home II: The wringing
This is the second gadget. When I take the clothes out of the manual washer, obviously, they are full of water. Wringing everything by hand is as miserable as washing it by hand if not worse. So this mini wringer does the job for me. Its name is Mini Countertop Spin Dryer.
It consists of a cylinder with holes inside another cylinder. The inside cylinder spins quickly, and
thanks to the centrifugal force, the water comes out of the clothes. The water also comes out of the inside cylinder through the wholes. The outside cylinder keeps the water inside, and it is connected to a hose that takes the water out. It looks like a washing machine for dolls.
It is very important to read the instructions before turning the machine on. It turns out that the manufacturers add a little screw on the bottom so that the machine doesn't get damaged during shipping. You have to remove the screw! I almost broke my machine the first time I used it! Also, you have to evenly distribute the clothes, otherwise the spinner would jump and make a horrible noise.
I really like this machine. The clothes end up just a little damp, so it takes less time to dry both on a hanger or a dryer.
Duration: 1-5 minutes (Depending on the amount of clothes)
Electricity: 82 watts (Less than a table fan)
