Hand-Cranked Washer, Wringer
If you live or have a cabin in a remote location off the power grid û or if you just want to wash out rags or coveralls in the shop without bringing them into the house û you'll like this old fashioned hand-cranked washing machine from Lehman's.
The James Hand Washer is actually a new design with a double pivot action that reduces the effort needed to crank it and shortens the wash time to about 7 min. per load. A triangle-shaped agitator keeps clothes fully submerged so they never float to the surface or get stuck in the corners.
Tub and agitator are stainless steel. It mounts on wood legs and has a galvanized lid. Holds about 15 gal. of water.
A wringer roller can be mounted on one end that the company says takes out twice as much water as a spin dryer. Even if you don't have the washing machine, it can be used to squeeze water out of rags, chamois, sheets and blankets.
The washing machine sells for $459 and the wringer for $179. You can buy them both together for $599.
