i priced one of these and by the time you pay shipping and taxes your looking at a $1300.oo washer but the one i priced had a wringer on it but still, wow that price is crazy
Yes for people who don't believe in electricity, some people sure believe in money! Although this washer looks like it would easily outlast a new electric one.
So, why don't you attach the ringer to the side of the washer and as you take the soapy-wet clothes out of the washer, ring them out in preparation to be rinsed?
The drain should definitely be bigger, and come with a screen attachment to catch lint or anything that fell out of pockets etc. A hose for directing where the drain water goes would be a good idea. The agitating handle doesn't look like a good design to me. A better design would have the handle go up/across the washer and attach to the dasher at both sides for more balanced application of force. The center brace could include a swivel bar attachment/extension so the user could stand at one end of the tub, grasp the bar with both hands, and put their full body weight and strength into pushing/pulling the bar in a motion more like a rowing machine. This would decrease the specific strain on any one muscle group to operate the machine. For that matter, if the dasher handle extended below the machine, and a chair were involved, then the user could push with feet while pulling on the handle for an even gentler, full-body workout, lowering strain even more. A spring of some sort to help return the dasher to the far position would be helpful then, because pulling with feet while pushing on the handle sounds less convenient. Still, involving more muscle groups means less strain on any particular muscles, which means less exhaustion or potential injury for the user, and therefore increases the total weight of laundry that can be washed comfortably. The handle should be removable, so the wringer could be attached. Or perhaps the handle could be fixed in the down position, so the wringer can clamp over/around it. People used to wash their cleanest clothes first, and wring into rinse tubs as they went, and add loads of progressively dirtier clothes towards the end so that all clothes could be washed in the same water without needing to change it after every load. If easy access to unlimited clean water from a hose isn't available, that would be an important washing tip to share with new users. Also, adding a cup of vinegar into the final rinse water is excellent advice to ensure any remaining traces of soap are neutralized, and to soften clothes. If the crossover handle could be fixed in the upright position, then it could double in usefulness as a bar to hang clothes from, on hangers. That might be appropriate for air-drying a few lightweight shirts or children's clothes. Or a grate of some sort might be placed across the top of the tub (with handle down or removed) to serve as a space to flat-dry sweaters. Obviously all of this is just me spitballing ideas, which may or may not be appropriate for your company. But it's what I think would be helpful, as seen at a glance. Good luck.
She made a small batch of them as part of a group buy and has not done any more since then. This video was to demonstrate to her group how to use the washer. (I have one of the ones she made.)
She made them for a group of her friends. I have one. Everyone paid in full before they were built so she could afford the project. She never turned this into a commercial product. This video was for us to see how to use what we bought from her. It is not an advertisement for a commercially available product.
@@gailwaldrop3753 I don't have a clue. Maybe ya could find someone who can do welding & have it made. But I'll tell ya that the one that Lehman's sell is very small. Trust me I got one & it's not big enough to do blankets or winter coats in, which is why I wanted to get it. However now I have the pattern for a bigger one IF I can ever find someone to make it. Good Luck !! Blessings
Ok, I found a dairy stainless steel washing sink and accompany that seeks them and the rings to hold them and maybe the legs too about 300 and it’s bigger 18 in in length ,31 in depth and I think it’s big enough I will check more into finding a used one from a dairy has closed
@@gailwaldrop3753 that's wonderful news to hear very happy for ya!!! Don't give up ya will get one the way ya want & the size at a price ya can afford. I'm thrilled for ya! Blessings
This video was for her friends who bought one so they could see how to use it. She had already pre-sold all of the washers she made in her one-and-only batch. It is not an ongoing commercial product. Sorry.
This company must not know much about business. They dont tell you where to buy it or how much it costs.. That is serious mistake for a company if they want to sell anything.
Um, it is repeated throughout the comments that she made a very small batch of these for friends. It was a one-time manufacturing run by a small welding shop near her home. She is not a company, she is not in business to sell these, and she has no intention of making any more. It is a mistake for you to think this is an advertising video. It is instructional for those of us who bought one of these from her. It was never intended the way you have inferred.
This video was to teach people how to use their washer that she made just a few of. It is not a commercial product. I own one. It is very legit, but there are less than 20 in existence.
look this with this ruclips.net/video/sGJNtKIwjfU/видео.html Marche nordique en faisant sa lessive ! avec le vélo Elliptique cest pas encore fabriqué mais voilà l'idée !
Where can I get one of these please? we are a family of 5 , Lehman's has one for 899. to much money for homesteaders.
Family of 7 here and a year later it’s $1150. 😬😬
Lamans is more then that now it's about 1200. It's way to much.
I like the quality of Lehman's better. Cheaper is not always better.
Diy insruction are on YTUBE for about a lot less money. This woman looked like she had never even used this washer before.
Build your own?
When the video started I expected to hear Chef John's voice after the music. Nice washer, though.
LOL! That's what I thought also.
That was my first thought! I was thinking for a second, I thought I clicked on a washer video?
Wonderful design and the construction appears to be of a very high quality. This should give the owner many years of electricity-free washing.
i priced one of these and by the time you pay shipping and taxes your looking at a $1300.oo washer but the one i priced had a wringer on it but still, wow that price is crazy

Build a fire underneath it so you can use hot water

Please let me know when you have your own design available to purchase. You seen to be an expert.
Where can these "steadfast" washers be purchased? How much do they cost?
I was wodering the same thing
She made a small batch of them as part of a group buy and has not done any more since then. This video was to demonstrate to her group how to use the washer. (I have one of the ones she made.)
@@SingerGuy59 I see. I do know that Lehman's Store (in Kidron, Ohio) makes a similar washer & ships them out to purchasers all over the world,
The Lehman product us $1490. THIS product us $69.00 !! If something seems too good. just be cautious!!!
@@dreamweaver7810 By THIS product, do you mean the Steadfast washer? Because I paid nearly $1K for mine.
Awesome!!! Glad to see this.
Where are these available? Want to buy one
Just search online for manual operated wash machines
Looks like it can do blankets and comforters. The dashers at Lehmans not large enough to wash.
I thought this looked bigger.
wow, I think this is way better than Lemans
Can't seem to find information on how to purchase, are these for sale? Is there a website?
Cost: about $789, without wringer. Washer with wringer $899 (Lehman's).
@@tpfmike1976 They aren't the same, Lehman's has wooden legs.
@@happyluv that's right , I can't afford Lehman's and it has a top and wooden legs.
I would buy it but I cant find it. Is there a link
Where can I buy one?
Cost: about $789, without wringer. Washer with wringer $899 (Lehman's).
this one is not Lehman's I can't get theres it's to high
I want one, too. My son is a welder. Already sent him the screenshots! No WAY will I pay Lehman a grand for a shorter, smaller one with wooden legs 🙄
Now it is $1200 before shipping cost and taxes.
@@eileendarling1093 : WOW!!!
Why not put 3- 6- 9 - 12 holes, like 3 holes on each side so it drains faster ?
Did anyone find out where these can be bought, or who makes them?
She had a small batch of these made six years ago for a group of friends. It is not an ongoing commercial enterprise.
I wish she still made this or sold the instructions on how to make it
This is genius !
Super excited to use my new steadfast washer up at the cabin!
Where did you buy yours? I can't find them anywhere online
hello, may I ask about this steadfast washer , did you buy this and if you did where ,thankyou. francestns2012@yahoo.com
What is your website?
Nice, but it looks like a hard plastic would be nice to, that way it would not rust
it is stainless steel, it wont rust
Where can I purchase
Can I get a price for one unit please?
has anyone ever got this steadfast washer and if you did ,do you have a website to go to .thank you

They never tell you where to get it???
Can you buy this stead fast washer or does anyone make it
What is it made of? It looks like there's already rust in some areas. This could be problematic.
No, that is a welding aura. It leaves a blue-yellow-brown color on the stainless caused by the high heat of the torch
This was brand new when she did this video. No time for rust. Plus it is stainless steel.
Where can I find this washer?
Is this washer still available?
Why don’t you tell us where we can buy one.
This video was for people who had already bought one. She made about 20 of them for friends.
What is that washer called?
I like the washing machine but you lost me when you had to use that bucket strainer
Coolio
Who ia making these cause I want to buy one!! I can't find this company PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS COMPANY

You can make with saw horse PVC water pipe and rain barrel cut in half plus a crank to agitate it
These guys out of buisness?
She was never “in business.” This was a private project for a few friends. She had one batch made and then never did it again.
