On my BFOwners website I saw this post & thought it might be significant to some of you..so I'm sharing it.
One of our biggest surprises traveling in Europe with our Born Free last fall was the cost of the poor laundry facilities. Washing machines are very small & take forever. Dryers rarely got things really dry. So I decided to make an investment in a Wonder Washer & a Spin Dryer from the Laundry Alternative. They arrived yesterday & I have tried them both out & was quite impressed. The washer is about the size of a pail. The spin dryer is a little taller & thinner. We plan to store them in the cabinet under the stove. The spin dryer left the laundry mostly dry. It was quite remarkable. Today I washed some really dirty towels & they really came out clean. It only uses 6 qts. of water at its biggest capacity.
Anyhow the website is www.laundry-alternative.com
This may be the answer for many of us as the cost is reasonable & at least would pay for itself in a short time.
Just my input....hope it's helpful.
