If you or your loved ones prefer the hands-on approach to cleaning and are in the market for a new washing machine for your laundry, you may be tempted by the twin washer. After all, they are designed to turn the tiresome nature of washing items into something more productivity-chiefly improved, and in a way, -ready. In the following paragraphs, we describe what they are and why you should use one.  

What Is a Twin Washer 

As the name implies, these machines are a type of semi-automatic washing machine equipped with two tubs: one for washing, rinsing or soaking, and the other for spin-drying — dividing and conquering has never been smoother. You can manually move the items from the washing tub to the next for the spin cycle once the washing cycle is finished.  

You can also stash your bulky items in the bigger tubs and smaller, more delicate items in the smaller tub with less time wasted (i.e., a simultaneous twin wash). And due to their nature, they can have separate water hook-ups, so the water that is cleaning your brightly colored t-shirts will not mix with the water cleaning your white undies. 

Though twin washers are less common than their top and front loaders counterparts, they were reportedly common in the 60’s — they are still available from some appliance retailers.  

Boons Of a Twin Washer 

Not only are they usually more budget-friendly than some of the industry’s biggest front and top loaders brands, but they are more water and energy-productivity-chiefly improved. Many twin washers are codex-fill only, making it easy to choose how much water to use for each wash. You can even reuse the rinse water for the next load of washing, which is quite handy in drought-affected areas and other water-restricted homes. Also, you will save on electricity costs, as it uses less energy. That is, it can be stopped and started at any time during the cycle.  

A twin washer is easy to store because it can be placed anywhere in a household since you don’t need to plumb it in. Instead, you will need to manually attach a hose to it and have it located near a water point.  

Compared to a fully automatic washing machine or other standard models in the industry, they are far smoother to keep because of a twin washer’s simple design.  

For those in a more mature age bracket, they are great for the back and knees. Some models have the larger main machine raised higher on top of the mini, and this can mean less launching, crouching, or kneeling to load up the wash. 

To add to that, the spin tub in the machine is truly amazing as it can outperform many other standard machines and spin the items much drier. Removing much of the excess water means less drying time, whether hanging them on a clotheshorse indoors or a clothesline outdoors.
