Crusader T107 3.5kg 240V Portable Twin Tub Caravan Washing Machine - White/Blue

Portable washing machine

Moves slightly when on a fast spin, so does need to be supervised. Does need to be lifted to let pipe from back of machine to drain dirty water into a sink. Only has a 15 minute wash cycle, but has gentle and normal. Suitable for one or two people, not for large family, due to machine able to take smaller loads.
Overall it will do the job and is portable.Read full review

work with limitations

If you understand the product you will not be disappointed. As many reviewers have said, the tap connections don't seem to fit any taps. The machine drains from a pipe and unless you are very lucky with the layout of your bathroom, that means buckets or the great outdoors. The lint collector disintegrated with a few washes. The storage of the plug has caused a panel to lose a screw from pulling it out (don't store the plug into its storage socket). Now all that said, here's the procedure. Fill the machine with a bucket. I use cold water. Drain the machine (after wash, rinse and spin) into a series of buckets or straight onto the lawn. Site the machine on a level, waterproof surface. If you put it on carpet you need to be very, very careful. And double check along the way that you move the setting off drain, or your water will all disappear. That sounds logical but believe me it's an easy mistake to make. The result will be a perfect wash and spin every time. The whole enterprise can be completed within 30-40 minutes. The results are excellent and I m very pleased so far.Read full review

Great little washing machine.

Cleans as well as any other machine and maybe even better, the hoses are a bit cheap and nasty and on the short side but as I just put the whole machine in the bath this isn't a problem for me but might be if you wanted to use it in the kitchen. It's very lightweight. The spinner is excellent and does the job well, I live in a very small flat in a sheltered housing complex and was fed up of going to the Laundry room to find the machine there always being used so purchased this. It sits nicely in the corner of my bathroom and doesn't look out of place. It isn't too noisy but obviously does make a certain amount of noise when spinning and washing but no louder then a full sized machine. Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone wanting a small and compact product.Read full review

Great little washer but has its limitations.

Its very easy to use and is not for a family wash just a few things at a time and don't put too much washing powder in. Amazing that it washes things very well over such a short time period and you will need to rinse things separately or empty the washer and rinse in there if you are doing just a very few things and it empties quite quickly. The spinner is quite small and can take just a few things at a time otherwise it won't spin the clothes very dry. But hey, its as its described it for a caravan or student or someone living alone who just wants to wash a few things at a time and the best thing is its light to carry and store and so unlike the huge heavyweight washers you see in kitchens and can't move. I bought this machine at a very good price compared with the competitors and so another big plus for the seller. I can recommend both the washer and the seller.Read full review

It does work with a good 12 volt quasi sine wave inverter

I searched long and hard to answer that question. After buying I contacted the technical help line. They replied promptly but adived against it in case its power varied. Anyway I took a chance and ran it on my boat's quasi sine wave output and it worked the same as it did on the mains power. The washer uses 230w so that was only 13% of the available output so I am sure it would work on a smaller inverter just as well.Read full review

Great for Motorhomes

We bought this as we are going on an extended tour in our motorhome, it's lightweight, easy to use and washes clothes beautifully, we even managed to do a double quilt cover and 2 pillow cases in one wash.
We would recommend the Crusader to anyone.Read full review

Nice little light to handle machine.

I've used it a few times now and it washes really good, the only thing that is a bit of a pain is drainage because it doesn't have any kind of motor or power to drain it you have to make sure the pipe is lower than the machine to drain it, which is a little bit awkward, but that is more to do with my situation rather than the machine.

The spin works very good, the cloths come out with most of the water removed, and because of that they dry fast.

The machine is so light I can lift it with one hand, using the handle.

All round it does exactly what is claimed it can do and does it well.Read full review

Great simple machine with wonky cogs.

Its easy but the cogs appear to be wonky. I sent the first one back thinking it was a fault but it doesnt appear to be.., The wonky cogs appear standard. I hope the bearings on them will last. They may do because the spinning isnt excessive. All in all it appears to be a great machine.Read full review
