I am looking at installing a Lemair washing machine in my caravan, 2.2 capacity but could some advise who has one the amount of articles that will fit in the bowl eg 2 towels ??,are you able to fill bowl to top of bowl with items and what laundry detergent you recommend and have you had a problem with soap and dirt slug staying in the machine and staining white clothes and what cycles you recommend.

Thank You

Re: Lemair 2.2 washing machine for caravan

We bought the Lemair 2.2 washing machine to put into a 5th wheeler last year. Its the best thing I have bought.To was properly I think 2 large towels, or 1 queen bed sheet and 2 pillowcases, or 2 of my husbands work shirts, 2 shorts and 2 pairs of socks.
Sometimes you have to do a few loads but it takes around 17 minutes, I recommend a liquid detergent as the cycles are fast and it disolves quickly. Im sure you wouldnt be sorry. I made the mistake of buying from a caravan shop for $345, I have since seen them for $299 in the good guys, i think caravan shops and RV shows are most expensive. Good for ideas but try to buy elsewhere. Goodluck.

We bought the 2.2kg lemair washing machine and it lasted 7 weeks before the water kept pumping out. We took it to the accredited repairer and its been there 3 weeks.We rang and asked him why its taking so long and he said lemair were notoriously slow when it came to getting parts.Will never buy another one.
