• saves time – the washing cycle lasts 18 minutes, of which 3 minutes are spent rinsing;
• saves electricity.

In its design, this machine resembles a Soviet washing machine, only several times smaller. The laundry rotates due to an activator located at the bottom of a plastic container that is filled with water. During washing, the container is closed with a lid. The detergent is poured directly into the water, and after the wash, the water drains into a bucket through a special rubber hose. While it's not an automatic washing machine, it's still better than washing socks by hand in a basin or under the tap.
