Extremely Rare Washing Egg

Total useless appliance IMHO because these things don't spin. What on earth are you going to do with a woolen sweater that has been washed in this thing but hasn't been spun out? Not much better than a bucket.
So, it's 1/2 of a mini twin tub...
ps-I was kidding about the "extremely rare" part. I have no idea if these are common or not.

I guess
the space you save with it can be used for the spin dryer you will need to be able to use it...
I wonder if the people who invent these things ever actually use them...

Well, it looks like it's designed to take one's hands out of hot wash water, for the washing and rinsing. Normally one hand wrings fabrics dry after hand washing, so the absence of a spinner or mangle isn't a big surprise. Although, given all the bother that hand wringing entails, I wonder if a simple sloshing in a bathroom sink wouldn't work just as well as this contraption. It does say it's automatic, though. I guess it will wash, drain, and then do one or more dilution rinses, automatically. Note that it has no agitator, but some sort of impeller, that it says gently "jounces" the wash.
I also thought that the Egg would have gone well with Toggles' late unlamented "Pakispinner".
Da me lluevos!
you rang?
Ah the paki-spinner. Maybe it would have been good combo.
*LOL*

Humpty-Dumpty sat on a paki-spinner
Humpty-Dumpty wasn't a winner
Humpty-Dumpty liked the vibration
Until Pakispinner blew its top and Humpty-Dumpty blew a gasket and there was a big mess and we all had omelets.

I thought of getting one of these egg washers but the lack of spin put me off
Thought a Haier would be as good as it spins
Little did I know at the time I would have a laundromat in the basement

This sort of portable small washing machine has existed in one form or another since the 1940's or so, see the link below.
IIRC the only version to automatically spin dry was something called a "Whirlwasher" or something along those lines. Others had a wringer (motor driven or hand cranked)one mounted to the machine. Others had nothing and milady was obliged to wring or otherwise remove water from the laundry best way she knew how.
Such machines were also known as "camp washers" as people could take them along when camping to wash out small items. Though small, some machines could hold one or two men's dress shirts, or several nappies, or a dozen or so dainties. For women who didn't have a washing machine, and or didn't wish to drag out the heavy guns for one or two small things, these little washers probably beat washing things by hand.
One maker even offered a portable small washer one could sit on top of the range to do boil washing.

Back in the late 50's, in Connecticut, when our Bendix front loader broke down for the last time, I remember being requisitioned into the laundry detail - the three kids were each given a wash tub and a washboard. I can't say I enjoyed it. Then there appeared a little counter-top metal washer - I seem to recall the classic GE logo emblazoned across the top, which was white porcelain, as well as the cast aluminum wash tub it sat on. Alas, I never got to see it work... it apparently was DOA. Which is why I guess I was allowed to touch it, lol. After that, I'm told, the family lugged the laundry to a laundromat downtown. Then we moved to California.
Then again this is ok for smaller loads.
Manual fill and gravity drain via same hose that fits over faacet, or is tilted down to drain.
This is ane Easy brand Whirl-dry. The one piece "Agi-tub" is aluminum; sits one way on the shaft (WATCH IT APPNUT!)to spin and another way to agitate.
Flies all over the place during spin however! The original flex-cord and plug is two-pronged--> no ground/earth!
