I came across the Panda washing machine and watched videos on you tube it looks pretty good for the money .Does anyone have an opinion (well I know you do )but can we stick to the washing machine.

Useful I suppose, if you need to wash your Panda.

Watch choosing your combo washing machine. I think spin washers are much easier on clothes than agitators and 1200 rpm for spin dryer will get your clothes very close to dry. Plus you can do larger loads for the same space.

So give us a recommendation. I'll be in the market for a good small machine in a year. I want one to spin out as much water as possible. Not interested in a drier mode.

Sorry I don't have a model to recommend, I'm still researching too. Lots of videos on YouTube.

No experience with Panda.

Been using this front loading washing machine which fits nicely on the seat in the shower room. Very slim. No dryer and I simply hang the clothes out in the cockpit to completely dry out.

Check out LG BabyLUV for 3.5kg front loading

I really like this unit.

Hi AdmiralSlater,

We have had a Panda for about a year, we have used in inboard in the cockpit with the drain line over the side and it now resides on the deck finger.

We love it

, we are very active and have a lot of small loads of workout gear. The one warning is that if you wash anything with legs or sleeves with anything else it will tangle and not work so either wash them separately or some other way.

Good luck.

Here's an addition to speed drying

I find a bucket with a plunger works well.

Works even better if the plunger has a few holes drilled in it. Hillbilly laundry mat

Thanks for this. I just found out that there's a local supplier in Toronto that also sells other machines. Will keep you posted
