Are you looking for an antique wringer washer? Used?
Here's a link to more modern washers....don't know if it will help.

One that can be used for washing to save water.but thanks I will check out the link:-)
No unfortunately they do not have any wringers.any other suggestions?
The last time it appears new wringer washers were sold ended around 1983...and it seems it's only ordered as a specialty item now or as an used item.
There are relatively affordable washing machines w/options including low water usage. Check the specs of the washers that are offered starting w/Courts...Singer is another company here that shows some of their products online.
To find used wringer washers...you could try the Gleaner & Observer classifieds online or jamaicanclassifieds.com....there's a few other online classifieds...just google. Otherwise, someone down here should just keep asking around.
Good luck..Beccajean!
Great! Thanks for the info Bnewb I will keep my eyes open and see what I can find. I Was just hoping to get my friend on saves water and electricity and makes washing clothes a lot easier than doing them by hand.

I can't imagine shipping charges, though! Lemans is a company used by many Amish communities...we have bought some things from them...neat products!
Good Luck!
Thanks CD and yes I imagine shipping would bo out to lunch but those are what Im looking for.But I think in JA someone told me that no matter how much electricity you use you still pay the same so maybe I will just see if that is true and then maybe just get a regular washer.Quote:

Beccajean...electricity/current is billed exactly the same as in North America...per kilowatt hour. Unfortunately, current here in JA is usually at a higher rate than most places!! :(Quote:

Bnewb..thanks for the info...wondering now if its worth it then as things for him are already a struggle. Just though would make life easier.
Duh, can I read where you're from on here, haha...they do have that 'portable' hand crank machine that does a few pounds of clothes at a time...in a pinch it might work. I've honestly thought about getting it 'just because'. Summer type clothes would be a lot easier than our winter ones! :(
We will figure something out.Thanks for all the responses.:-)
Duh? I live in canada I can go buy one anytime..JA folks can't! I was just wanting info not rudeness..but thanks all the same.Quote:
