PLEASE Can a Moderator Sticky This Thread, :Y:
As I posted earlier I bought the Bluetti EB180 1800Wh SoGen / Battery Box 2 weeks ago so I have been replacing all my Appliances with Low Wattage Items for Camping or During Power Outs or when the SHTF my life can go on as close to normal or as near as damn it,
Anyways I hate using the House Automatic washing machine because it does everything to preset programs and I got no say in the matter, Where it can chew anything from 1.4Kw or 1400 watts and waste about 18 gallons of water and some of these programs can take up to 2hrs 35 mins and that is a lot of wasted power,
SO with that I ordered a Low watt Twin Tub washing machine They claim it uses 250w on Wash and 150 On the spin cycle, according to the Sticker on the machine and the Manual It uses 180w to wash and 116w for the spin cycle, I got this from Amazon for around $223.18c AUD, No doubt you can get them cheaper if you shop around.
I tested it and was impressive setting the max wash =15 mins and spin time = 6 mins and although it was impressive it washes that well there is no need to max out the timers,
I Plugged it in to a Kilowatt meter and put it on wash for 12 minutes and then I changed the water and rinsed the items of clothing and then I put them in to the spin dryer and here are the end results and I figured I used 2 and a 1/2 to 3 buckets of water +/-
Wash Cycle = 12 minutes = 35w
Rinse Cycle = 4 minutes = 21.19w
Spin Cycle = 4 minutes = 8w
Total power used 64.19w, Total Time 20 minutes,
Doing the same wash load using the Automatic washing machine can use 10 to 20X the power used by the Twin Tub,
ECO 60* = 1,020watts and 49L of water, saving 955.8w
ECO 40* Synthetic wash = 500w and 52L of water, saving 435.8w.
ECO 40* Cotton wash = 1140w and 49L of water, saving 1075.8w.
Thats impressive by any standard let alone the power saving on the Grid Bill, But what is more important you can wash a lot of Clothes using a SoGen with an Inverter of 250w and upwards, and the Time, Water and Power Saved makes this One a Winner,
Hope that helps,
