Each of these functions can be turned on individually with the appropriate button or it can run through a full cycle automatically. The drum really turns and spins and the machine makes four life-like sounds of water filling up, of washing, of water draining out and of the spin-cycle. There is also a beeping sound to indicate the end of the cycle. To add a realistic feel to their playtime, the washing machine toy even boasts foursounds - they can simply press the start/stop button to take their make-believe to the next level. Impressive! When I started out on my search it soon became apparent that size was a significant detail in the differences between the toy washing machines and dryers. There are tiny, miniature washing machines designed for dolls and doll houses, which I decided not to include in my research. There are also one or two full-sized toy washing machines and dryers…go figure? A domestic washing machine is an appliance modern life cannot do without. They effortlessly get through piles of laundry and can deal with a wide range of clothing items and fabrics. Choosing the right washing machine however can be a daunting task. But making the right choice can mean you have a washing machine will last for years and meet all of your growing family's needs. Washing Machine Features

All in a days play I am afraid and also that chalkboard on the side is pure genius, firing the imagination into other, added aspects of play when all the laundry has finally been washed, dried and ironed. This toy washing machine is a replica of the actual Miele model 6941, it really looks the part, although it is actually made out of plastic, quality plastic I hasten to add. The machine has the same buttons and dial that are on its full-size counterpart. Thankfully you will not need a manual to learn how to work it properly, as, unlike the real thing there are actually just four different functions. It's probably better to hang it from the arms rather than ear - especially if it's a heavier toy. Or use a laundry bag. If you have an airing cupboard, sit the toy on one of the shelves and let it dry naturally, sitting on a towel. Make sure it's completely dry before returning it to your child. 5.
