The question is, how long do you expect the situation to last?
Not trying to be cheeky, but how long will a bare bones washer last?
Second question, how many washers will be around unused if it were to get that bad?
Question three, if it doesn’t go full tilt, what makes anyone think they will have enough power and water to wash loads of laundry?
I ask because of a blog I used to follow, but the author pointed out that they might get 4 hours of power a day, on a good day. And water….
My grandparents had a wringer washer that could be run via 120v or by unhooking the belt from the pulley and attaching it to a lawn mower engine. At that point the wringer was a manual crank but would be almost ideal.
