Bonding moments over the undies washer

Let's take a closer look at Maiyuu's avocado green washing machine, which does indeed have a spinning device to toss about his underwear when in washing mode.

Alert readers asked how the thing can wash if it has no spin cycle, as I claimed incorrectly in a blog post yesterday (I have now amended the wording).

Maiyuu bought his mini-washing machine for the eccentrically gay purpose of washing his underwear only.

It has a spin cycle when in washing mode, but lacks a spin dry cycle...the bit at the end, after the clothes are washed, when normal washing machines spin the water out of the garments so they are ready to hang on the line.

This explains why, after washing another mega-load of his underwear yesterday, I found Maiyuu crouched over the machine, wringing the water out of his clothes.

I asked Maiyuu if it was a new entrant to the market.

'They have been around for ages...but previously, they were B2000, which I thought was too much.

'Then, a week ago, I saw the price reduced to B1200 as a New Year's special, so decided it was cheap enough to afford.'

Since Maiyuu bought the machine, he has turned into an ardent clothes washer. In fact, he can't get through underwear fast enough...if he had a choice, I suspect he'd give that washing machine of his a spin every day.

Maybe I should add mine to the load as well, to give us something more to talk about. It's fun sharing bonding moments over our avocado green Hatari washing machine.
