I have a unbranded one which can do the dishes as well, have had it for 48 years . XX

Here is a review I found on google


Can't let it get splashed or keep it in a highly moist environment.

I've had the Camec washing machine for about three months now and as I had found it tricky to get information about it before my purchase, I thought that it might be a good idea to give some info here.

The thing that surprised me the most about this machine was the fact that you can't let it get splashed or keep it in an area of extremely high moisture. Yep that's right, you probably couldn't keep it in most bathrooms! As I had particularly bought this machine because it was small enough to fit in my tiny bathroom, I was not happy about this. I shower in the bathroom and had also planned to fill the machine with water by hand (thereby risking splashing). To get around this I decided to keep it in the bedroom and I made a protective cover for it out of plastic sheeting which I cut a hole in the top of to allow access to the lid. Whew, I wish that I had known about these things before buying it.

Some other things that you may like to know are:
* It only takes cold water.
* It doesn't have a gentle cycle. Though the pause button on the machine allows you to cut short the wash time which may help you overcome this.
* It has fairly flexible washing cycles and you can set it to automatically do any of the following: wash/rinse/spin...wash/rinse...rinse/spin...spin...rapid wash.
* If the machine is left idle for more than 10 minutes it will automatically switch off. This has proven to be a bit of a pain for me as if I don't get to the machine within the 10 minutes to fill it up with water it'll switch off. Too bad if I can't remember where the cycle was up to.
* It becomes unbalanced often during the spin cycle and you might like to get to it quickly when this happens as it doesn't stop quickly enough in my opinion. Also this causes it to automatically try to right itself by refilling with water and doing another rinse, a real waste of water.
* The other thing that I had trouble with was the adjustable leg which is used to level the machine. I couldn't figure out how to get the screw to move to keep it set it to the correct height. I ended up putting it at the height I needed and just holding it in place with some sticky tape. Perhaps someone handier than me could have figured this out though.
