A New Old Fashioned Washing Machine

This is a new washing machine, but it is an old style. It is not automatic.

Clothes are washed in the tub on the left. After the machine washes the clothes, it beeps. Then someone has to come and take the very wet clothes out and put them in the tub on the right. Excess water is spun out of them. The tub on the right is the spin cycle. Automatic washing machines are available, but some people prefer this kind.

This is the lint bag. It catches lint and fuzz. These are on automatic machines, too. Click on the label below for more information about washing machines.
