Would you buy an handmade washing machine?

Hello,I've became obsessed by pakistani washing machine, they make almost everything from scratch and it is so fascinating to me.
Sure these models are simple and have no heating elements but they look so different from what we have here in Italy and i am sure that these models are long lasting

Well, I suppose it would be better than beating clothes on a rock at the riverside. But who’s gonna have the strength to haul that heavy, wet carpet outta the washing machine tub, wring it out, even with a hand wringer that would be a BIG job, then you’d have to empty the tub, refill with rinse water and then wring it out again.

If the machine had an attached, powered wringer then this would be a great basic washing machine for people that were very poor and had no hookups for an automatic washing machine.

But that being said I admire their ingenuity.

most of pakistan is desertic so their clothing is probably light but yeah drying a heavy blanket washed in that machine is tough, but as you said better that washing it in una tub by hand
