This is a 'vintage' pressure washing machine but, despite it's age, it has NEVER been used, consequently it is in excellent condition and the seal is perfect - I've even got the original instruction leaflet so no guessing how much water etc to put in. The 'only' fault with it, if it can be called that, is that the label on the front is creased! 
As the postage would be a bit due to the size I'd like £50 including P&P.
It is ideal for a motorhome, camper, caravan, camping, or for use at home if you only have a few items to wash so you can use this instead of your normal washing machine.
We bought this last year with the idea of taking it with us in the camper on longer trips to do our washing, however as we're now planning on taking a generator with us we'll need space for that so there's no point in keeping the washer when it's just gonna gather dust at home ... I may regret selling it but as we're hoping to move this year (downsize) some stuff just has to go!
This washer is quite a rare beast being a 'vintage' product made of good quality plastic, not one of the more modern ABS ones which are IMV more flimsy. You sometimes can pick up a vintage metal version but they are quite a bit heavier.
The clothes are cleaned due to the pressure created by the churning which forces the soapy water through them to lifts off the dirt. It is eco-friendly as it uses no electricity and is lightweight when empty. The frame can be removed to make it smaller for storage if required.
It doesn't require electricity ... just water and washing liquid/powder ... and a bit of elbow grease!

How to wash:
- Put in the clothes (2.5kg load max - less for bulky items or those that will 'swell' when wet)
- Add washing liquid and hot water (liquid is better as some powders don't dissolve well)
- Put on the lid and twist the knob to clamp it down
- Slot on the handle
- Churn for up to 2 minutes (less if the clothes aren't very dirty)
- Remove the clothes and wring out a bit
- Empty out the water
- Put in clean water, place the clothes back in and clamp the lid on
- Churning again for 30 seconds to rinse them
- Remove the clothes, hand-wring and hang up.
