Throughout Guatemala and the developing world, laundry is still largely done by hand. This is a very time consuming process. The pedal washing machine provides an alternative to hand washing or expensive and inefficient electric machines.

I wish they said how affective this method was? How clean clothes get and how long it takes to do a wash cycle etc....?
I am thinking on building a cabin in woods. Something like this I could build for long stays in woods. Looks like it is made from scraps of parts, a little welding and viola a cheap machine

This is why the first world is awesome. We can sit on our lazy butts making arrogant remarks about those less fortunate than us. Do they want any better for themselves? It's highly likely.

Just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
It is raping your cloths, becaus it spins to one side..... You can't spin it high, and you are talking about the enviroment? all the water that is coming out, with the detergents? Is going on the street?
