Hello,
We have changed our boat for a liveaboard boat. It came with a huge old Servis washer/dryer( a monster). We have a 3.0kw Inverter. When cruising it knocks the inverter out, and I believe this is when the heater element comes on. We have tried both cold wash settings. These are ok, but they do not wash, as such, as they are for delicates and wool. No good for our dusty boaty duds. The clothes just soak, without any tumbling about.
So, a new washing machine is needed.
We have room for a full size machine.
Please can anyone tell me what to look for on the spec ?. e.g. do I look firstly at the Kw. power it uses and the water usage ? So that the inverter does not get knocked out, do I look for a cold wash programme per se ?
Thanking you , in advance, if you are able to give advice. I am not sure that the Man from Curry's would be familiar with power conserving on a narrowboat !
