The DMD Collective 2-in-1 Portable Washing Machine is designed for simplicity and efficiency in compact environments. To wash, simply place your laundry (up to 3kg) into the main tub. Use the provided intake hose to fill the tub with water to the desired level, adding your preferred detergent. Set the wash timer, and the machine will agitate the clothes. Once the wash cycle is complete, drain the dirty water using the drainage tube.For spin drying, transfer the washed clothes (up to 2kg) into the spin-dry basket. Secure the basket by turning it anti-clockwise until it clicks into position. Set the spin timer for your desired duration. The spin function removes excess water, significantly reducing drying time. While it won't completely dry clothes, it prepares them for quicker air drying. This process makes it an excellent choice for delicate items or clothes that benefit from a gentle wash. Its low power consumption makes it highly cost-effective for daily use.
Placement: Choose a stable, level surface near a water source (like a sink faucet) and a drain (a sink, tub, or floor drain).
Hose Connection: Connect the intake hose to your water source (e.g., a faucet adapter, if needed). Position the drainage tube so it can effectively empty water into a suitable drain.
Power: Plug the machine into a standard electrical outlet.
This appliance is specifically designed for small living spaces such as:
Student apartments and dormitories
Small flats or studios
RVs, campers, and mobile homes
Off-grid living setups
Its compact footprint allows it to be easily tucked away when not in use. It is compatible with most standard household electrical outlets and water fixtures.
Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the interior of the wash tub and spin basket with a damp cloth to prevent mildew and residue buildup. Occasionally, run a wash cycle with just water and a cup of vinegar to deep clean.
Draining: Ensure all water is fully drained after each use to prevent odors and stagnant water.
Storage: When not in use, ensure the machine is dry, then store it in a cool, dry place. Its compact size makes it easy to store in a closet or corner.
Exterior: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Hoses: Periodically check the intake and drainage hoses for any blockages or damage. Clean if necessary.
