Fresh Semi Automatic Washing Machine, 5 kg, Single Tub, White, FWM-85

El Shatoora is the small Fresh single tub that Egyptian families buy as a dedicated baby and kids washer, and this is the 5 kg version, Fresh item 500001928. It has one wash tub with a reversing pulsator and one mechanical timer dial, so there is no board, no display and nothing electronic that a voltage swing can damage. Fresh fits a removable lint filter, builds the inner tub and the anti shock outer body from anti rust plastic, and offers a drainage pump as an optional extra rather than as standard equipment, so as supplied it drains by gravity through a flexible hose. There is no spin basket, which is the honest trade off: laundry comes out wet and is wrung by hand or passed to a separate spin dryer. At around 10 kg the machine is light enough to carry from the bathroom to the balcony, it draws only about 250 W, and it is made in Egypt with Fresh's five year full free warranty behind it. Radio Talaat recommends El Shatoora to new parents, students and anyone who wants a cheap, quiet second washer for small daily loads.
