Companion Portable Twin Tub Washing Machine

G'day Brett,

Would have to be pure sine wave for this one sorry - you'll run the risk of the washing machine overheating with modified sine wave inverters.

G'day Anne,

No, it doesn't.  This unit operates on 240v power only.  Historically I have seen one or two 12v washing machine models around, but we don't have any in our range.  The alternative options are manual washers, that have a crack arm.

G'day Garry,

Great question!  The washing machine only has three dials - one each for the speed of the wash or spin drum, and the third dial is to allocate what operation you'd like the machine to undertake.  Whether you are washing, rinsing or spinning is determined by this single dial, so you cannot run two different operations at the same time.
Hope that makes sense!

G'day Samantha,

Companion doesn't list a specific water capacity for the unit but looking at the size you'd need at least two standard buckets of water to run the wash cycle, and then the same again for the rinse cycle. You can download the user manual directly below the specifications that might help understand the process and time frames for using the washer.

Hi Russ, spare parts are available from Companion Brands. We're looking into this to see what we can get for you - leave it with us and we'll be in touch soon.

This machine runs from either 12V vehicle power or a regular 240V household power point Harris. It has wash and spin cycles, but no drying function. Have a look at item code 35580 on our website for a portable clotheslines that may suit your needs.

Hi Rebecca, the information we have for this washing machine states a 2kg wash and spin capacity, this information comes from both our suppliers website an the user guide which can be downloaded from our website, just look for the link under our product description.

Hi Fredella, the best way to understand the use of this machine would be to read through the user manual. We have it available as a download under the product description on our website. This walks through washing, rinsing, draining, and spin drying with pictures that make it easy to understand. Please let us know if you need further clarification on anything.

Hi Heather, there is a washing guide in the User Guide which you can download from the bottom of our product description above. The guide gives wash cycles between 3 and 15 minutes depending on how soiled your clothes are.
