Manual working washing machine.
Portable manual clothes washer - I don't know its brand but it is like EZYwash. If you google Ezywash it will show you better information. This one is missing it's handle, but you just spin the whole thing, which is easy. This model does not have the tap at the bottom, but you just drain it through the top which means you don't have to wait whilst it does it itself. These are great for camping, or for really dirty wash that you don't want to put in your regular washing machine. Uses less laundry detergent than normal and they are pressurised, when you screw up the lid. A very successful wash, rinse, but not an electric spinner! I sometimes finish off in my big machine on spinner only. Very good if you just have a medium to small load wash but urgent, or for the winter wool socks etc to go in a different load. As I have two of these, I do not have a purpose for this one any more. Keeps the power bill down.
I am on the road for a job, so it is possible I could meet in a Hamilton car park, otherwise pick up is near Tauwhare Pa. I could maybe do my shopping in Cambridge and meet there but at my convenience. And not a personal delivery to your door. I can tell you more detail in how to use it, upon purchase.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
