Today, semi-automatic washing machines with a spin function are still in demand, despite the large selection of automatic washing machines. Fairy washing equipment is the most famous among users. Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of the Fairy washing machine with spin.
How does washing equipment work?
Semi-automatic washing machines have a fairly simple design.
They include:
- body made of plastic;
- activator. Ensures rotation of washable items in the washing machine tank;
- mechanical timer;
- belt drive mechanism;
- centrifuge (present in spinning machines).
Fairy machines with a spin function have two compartments. One is for washing and rinsing clothes. A centrifuge is built into the other compartment, with the help of which the laundry is spun.
To wash things in such a washing machine, you must first fill the tank with warm water. If the washing machine has a heating function, then you can draw cold water. Next, you need to dissolve the washing powder in water and place the sorted items in the tank.
Such washing machines can hold 2-6 kilograms of dry laundry. The capacity of the equipment is affected by the size of the tank.
Upon completion of washing, you need to change the water and rinse the laundry in the same way. You can also rinse washed clothes in the bathroom. At the final stage of washing, you need to put the washed items in the centrifuge and start the spin cycle by turning the handle. The entire wash takes about twenty minutes, provided that preheated water has been poured into the machine’s tank.
Dirty water is drained using a special hose. The water in the centrifuge tank is drained into the pan through a specially designed hole. Also, the liquid can go into a tank intended for washing, and from there flow into a bucket through a hose.
