Fresh Semi Automatic Washing Machine, 10 kg, Single Tub, White, FWS1000NA

The Fresh FWS1000NA is the Jumbo Elegant, a 10 kg single tub semi automatic that has been a fixture in Egyptian homes for years. There is one big wash tub with a reversing pulsator and one mechanical dial: set up to 15 minutes and the machine washes, then shuts itself off automatically. There is no spin basket, so the washing is wrung by hand or passed to a separate spin dryer, and that is the trade off for getting a 10 kg tub at this price. The cabinet is shock resistant moulded plastic measuring 45.4 cm wide, 66.7 cm high and 38.7 cm deep, weighs about 13 kg and takes up almost no floor space, so it lives easily on a balcony, a roof laundry area or in a village kitchen. A removable filter collects lint and impurities, Fresh's anti rust construction copes with hard Egyptian tap water, and the drainage pump is offered as an optional extra rather than fitted as standard. It is made in Egypt and carries Fresh's five year full free warranty. Radio Talaat sells the FWS1000NA to households that wash in big batches and want the lowest possible running cost.
