I saw this in a Korean store.
And was stunned when I opened it.
What is it...?

Is it an impeller type washer?

It looks like the size of one of those Toshiba or Sanyo machines.

 

[aldspinboy]

Sorry ...

Patrick it's not.

Is it a large spin dryer?

 

[aldspinboy]

I have no idea what the speed spin is
But I gather since it's a detacated
Spin system it should be high in
the RPM range.
The drum is fairly large
for and extracter.

The bad part is this plug and it's on a 220 line.
This plug should not be to much of a problem.
This plug outlet is it avalable in the U.S. ?
The unit is 75.00 dollers.
Not bad at all.

That is what we call a shaver plug over here in the UK! They are also known as Europlugs and you may be able to find an adaptor over there for one! They run on 230V. There is this adapter I found on Amazon, but it may not supply the right voltage. Another bet is places like Radio Shack.

Also this little Haier for the kitchen
for small loads.
For 120.00
Maybe.

Thanks Finn for the advice.

Wow ok I did not see your link hey I think that might work.

Not in a rush to get it but it is not going anywhere for sure.

But excited about it.

Anyone else seen this unit or something simular ?

Thanks again Finn.

When I saw the first picture of the machine early this morning before all the rest was posted, I thought possibly it was an industrial-sized rice cooker since it appears to be located next to other kitchen appliances. Boy, was I wrong!

Welcome Dennis! I have not seen your posts before.

 

[ocalareporter]

Thanks for your welcome, Tom. I'm shy and mostly a lurker, not a poster.

Wow! I thought this was a normal washer at first. I was going to say "Whatever it is, it can do 6.5 kilos!"

Thats neat, I'd buy it just on that fact alone.

 

[ocalareporter]

Thanks, Darren, for the kind welcome. Also, I'm lusting after your two Frigidaire washers! Maybe I'll have my own someday.

I'm kind of mystified why a Korean place would be selling appliances meant to run on 220 volts, unless perhaps they were also selling up-converting transformers.

My guess is that this machine wouldn't use a lot of current to operate, so in theory you could use one of those international travel voltage converters in reverse without burning it out..

 

[coldspot]

Sure that is not 100 volt or 110 115 120 being that plug is used for 110 in some parts of the world

Bud & Troy...Thanks for the link.

The store there has a all kinds of  B and C stock appliances.

It changes weekly or monthly the guy there has a international connection .

Some Asian stores here have off brands that I never seen before so it's interesting to

see what they find.

 

I am going back and check the real voltage this week

at some point to get clarifacation then I will post it for sure.

This is what he said 220 v , but I did not have major check on the machine

I had to leave.

I will go back again soon to find the truth.

Either way it should work out.

It is not going anywhere in this community here.

Thank goodness.

Take care guy's tell then.
