Like a lot of people, we have a wall mounted 2kg mini washing machine (daewoo) installed in our caravan bathroom.
In this video we will show you how it works, how much it shakes the van when in use, how many clothes you can fit in a load and just generally if we rate it.
Let us know if you have any questions we didn't answer.

I always wondered how good those wall mounted machines go. Amazing how something so small can fit a good amount of things in it

I just got a 3kg compact zanussi/Electrolux aquacycle 1300rpm! and was surprised that a whole king size bedding all fits one load 1 sheet, 1 duvet cover, and 4 pillows cases. It might as well be a 4kg drum as it looks exactly the same 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ such a good little thing had it for free too and it’s only 2 years old been used on a boat but not much use as it was a holiday canal boat. Still smells new on a 60c wash. It’s brilliantly highly recommended, I live in a small flat/apartment. They last for forever too people say And if it does get a fault small one usually after a few years there is plenty of parts in circulation as they been made the same for the last 20 years lol 😂 Tad expensive but. Much more room and still small and easy to store away.

Why do all people, even those in caravans, think, they HAVE to mount the machine high on the wall? The lower you mount it, the less vibrations you´ll get, and the longer is your wall gonna stay sound. Let it touch the floor, with some buffer unterneath it, while mounted on the wall, and all problems are solved.

@trippinaroundoz Жыл бұрын

We 100% agree. That wasn't our van and we would never mount one on the wall after experiencing this. It's mounted to the floor in our new van and is sooo much better!

We have the exact machine wall mounted in our motorhome. It is SO loud on spinning the whole caravan park can hear it! Did yours spin louder if you weren't parked on a completely flat surface? Thanks.

@trippinaroundoz Жыл бұрын

Hi Cinder. We always had the van on level ground or if not had it levelled out. We found it loud all the time, we have one mounted to the floor now and much prefer it 🙂

@DinoINeverObject 10 ай бұрын

Have you guys tried a smaller load? Does it still make the loud noise and shake? Just curious before buying for an apt! It’s 4 different units in a house built in like the 1920’s so it’s got thin walls! (You can literally hear the neighbors sneeze sometimes 😅). Looking into small portable washer/dryer for our studio.

The sad thing here in North America is it is next to impossible to buy one. Even if I could the cost is outrageous. Also these are only built for 240Vac countries. But with will I can make one work by devoting a DC/AC inverter that is 240Vac. Aliexpress has a lot of cheap Chinese knockoffs.
