When I was married in the 90s, we loved our Lehman's catalog and wore it out big time dreaming of what to get. It is so great that now days the young couples can get all their info on youtube for off grid living. Great help for them. Love Lehmans!
I bought the double sink, wringer, pulleys, tightener and the stuff to make the laundry soap. I have 6 drying racks as well. I love everything!!!! I kind of wished I picked up another set of pulleys. Maybe next trip. I truly enjoy your store!
I paid 1300 for my washer and dryer. I’m considering getting this and I see there is an interest free payment plan for four payments. Maybe save some cash for a few months to make it easier to pay on it?
Nice washer! I already know about the dryers lol. My grandma used to put the (electric) wringer washer in the yard in the summer. Doing laundry and watering the lawn at the same time!
I have the breathable washer, the large drying rack, the small glass washboard, the Kevins quality clothespins for my outdoor line, and the clothespin bag. I have my eye on several other laundry-related things there at Lehman's. Momma shopped there when we lived in Pa and the things she had are still in good shape. I have been impressed with the quality of the items from here.
Went full time off grid over 10 years ago. We have solar, wind, solar generator, & reg generator. I personally been off grid since 1980’s here & there. I’m so much better mentally being here. ♥️ enjoy your journey!
I wish i could order from France. A lot of people want to live a simpler life and reduce their bills. Your store is incredible. I love the oil lamps, they re beautiful.❤
I have one of the Aladdin lamps. Great brightness to the point I need to order a harp and a glass shade to diffuse the bright white light it gives off.
I love everything I had bought from Lehman’s! I just received my measuring spoons and cups an the quality it outstanding! I also bought a while back the wringer and the breathable washer! It gets my clothes cleaner than any machine can! The price is worth it and you’ll have these items for many years to come!
I would definitely buy this. Right now I use a scrubba and air dry what I can and use a machine for heavier items since I can't wring them out. Love the simple life.
I have the extra large drying rack - I bought it about 30 years ago and it is as good and strong as it was when I bought it. I got the small one about 5 years ago and it's just as wonderful! EXCELLENT drying racks!
From what I have seen on a recent video is that the operation was bought by a large company but the family is still in charge to an extent. Let’s not forget the cost of wood, metal and labor has gone up in the last two years as of 2024.
That washer is in a video posted 7 days ago. "Arctic Homestead: 10 years living off the Alaskan wilderness" I recommend watching it and it is why I am looking in to buying one. :T
Wow I really want the nice washing machine but I sure can't afford it so I guess it'll probably never happen especially since I live on Social Security now.
May I see the interior of the steel washing machine, or at least get a description? I've seen similar machines with bolts/screws on the interior that would catch cloth and tear clothes.
good store why do you think wrap around enclosed porches where made? good place to go and works terrific with gloria heating systems ...heat the home 1st leg porch second leg and the retractable clothes lines your in business...As you come in from work strip and throw the clothes right in the wash...couple of cranks and into the washroom for supper prep...purposeful homes and lives for living...
Have heard many people state they have to raise the wash machine by using items like bricks. Yes it looked expensive to me years ago. But often window shopping for wash machines, a manual machine like this in the long run is the cheaper way to go and should last a lifetime with little or no maintance. My next move I will probably not have a gravity drain. I need a unit to do my medium full-queen sized comforters so I am hoping for an electrolux 500 series with my preferred features includes both excellent water and electric efficiency. But in the meantime, would hope this fits in my tub as the water release is gravity fed and sure hope they would take monthly payments. But if one could purchase...these machines would recoup in money invested to last a lifetime and not about 10-12 years. The newer HP machines do not always clean well and seem to need regular cleaning machine maintance.
For that price, one would think that they could afford to put longer legs on it, and use hardwood for the legs instead of cheap pine. It looks like a back breaker to me! Even with a long "swisher pole", you would still have to bend down to load it, drain it, and run the clothes through the wringer.
Love these products. Currently am doing my laundry in the tub dedicated plunger style. Might get the washing wand..have been doing this laundry system for four years since I moved in. Last winter I purchased a Ninja Spinner. It's close competitor is the Panda. It extracts remarkably a huge amount of water out of garments. Excellent for thick winter socks, sweatshirts and bath towels(sometimes the towels need a very decent draining before going into the spinner). The spinners are designed to run about 3-5minutes max per like load. I tend to do smaller loads. The balancing I am finally learning seems to work best is to place a heavier item on top of the load. If off balance it can walk, rock sometimes violently. A container of any type five inches in height needs to go under the spout. I am in the habit of doing my yoga or physical therapy stretches or a few push ups while the machine is extracting to both pass time well and just in case it starts rocking and I need to open the lid to rebalance. As annoying as it has been since my purchase not always but often, a heavy wet item on top of the other wet clothes seems to do almost always well. But in the long run, no one better think about taking this machine away from me without a huge fight! I have been able to reuse the rinse water for another load of laundry and in my drought stricken area this is awesome. It can have it's water drips on occasion especially during the learning curve so I keep a mop nearby and just mop the floor a bit. No more handwringing. The spinner spins at 3200rpm(revolutions per minute)and I have heard some people stated 100mph. Speeds up the drying times quite a bit! In the summers not always needed, but I run a portable fan to speed up the drying time. In the winters I use a portable heater. My apt bathroom already vented to automatically kick on with it's moisture sensor but it is tricky and I do not care for or rely too much on that for my laundry routine. That vent to figure out is a bit frustrating. Other people will use a dehumidifier to extract the drying laundry moisture out of the air to also speed up dry times and prevent mold-moisture. But my Ninja has done remarkably well on my thick, winter socks!! After spinning them usually in the mornings, I laundry clip them on to plastic hangers over the shower rod(they are past a dripping dry stage) and by early evening they are completely dry. I do not watch the time too much as temp can vary. Same for the evening. Once through the spinner, clip and hang dry and in the mornings compleletly dry. Did my research on the Panda also. These units almost like twin units except the lid operations a bit different and the Ninja seems to have a valid system in place with cutting down the sometimes unbalanced load (part of that kicks in when the machines get turned on). So I am glad I went with the Ninja brand. As for the electric costs going into it, seems it is a money saver as generally now I spend little or money on a summer portable fan and was definitely much less this past winter operating the portable heater. Was nice not to have to really wring even once and it eliminates my rotation of clothes in the winter to make sure all clothes are drying well...would highly recommend a spinner but maybe a bit of trade off is that sometimes load unbalance violently rocking and walking has most people with a learning curve. With the spinner, I actually save on drying costs(and time put into this task!!) and until my next move, fits my budget and laundry very well.
Well i wish I could shop on line but their website has blocked Greece from accessing it. Have an order ready IF the items are still available for shipping to my address in Ohio.
We just purchased the small washer he is showing. I called the number on the web page and its not correct. Can someone help me get it touch. I love the washing machine. I really look forward to getting this.
Lol. They do. Many people use a mop bucket with wringer either with a spin mop style or I have heard more of the commercial mop buckets with wringers. Have a ninja spinner I purchased last winter and I really enjoy it. Does not cost too much to run and cuts down quite a bit on my summer portable fan to dry(I really do not need the portable fan anymore to dry) and in the winter cuts down considerably on the use of a portable heater. My bathroom has an automatic yet tricky moisture vent sensor. I finally learned going to have to quit figuring it out and ignore. Probably not a good unit...am thinking of upping my off grid game of purchasing a $90 rubbermaid commercial mop with a wringer. Has a nice style with extra features and hope it fits my bathtub. The spinner does well for lap blankets and bath towels along with sweathshirts and thick winter sock need to get past the learning curve of off balanced loads when the machine starts it's spin action. Takes about 3-5minutes per load. Water spilled more on my learning curve so having a mop nearby to do the mopping the floor a bit anyways chore helps. The Panda has similiar features. Basically a twin. The Ninja has one or two extra features that I am glad I made this purchase. No more handwringing for me and I wooden laundryclip(either my summer portable fan will be on or sun-breezes through a high open window) and my clothes do not slip. Hang to dry over the shower curtain rod. Dry times depending on garments and heat-humidity are from one hour to generally five hours max is the range for most people. I do mine either in the morning and by nightfall I 'know' the clothes are ready to be put away..same if I did at night, by morning they are completely dry. Some people use a dehumidifier with or without a spinner to extract the water and to prevent mold-mildew issues.
I’d love to have the washer but as a young widow living on a limited budget there’s no way I can afford it especially with inflation. So I will keep paying to use the laundry mat or washing things in a bucket, hand wringing and line drying.
Today I used two of those spin mop buckets with the foot pedals.. I had one for the wash and one for the rinse.. I just put the clothes in the spinning part and it got the water out between "cycles " lol I I used the mop part without the mop attached to agitate the clothes in the buckets
Because it’s not mass produced. Speciality unique items always cost more and with this, you’d get the money back in saving - smaller electric bill. Buying a modern machine for the same, with years of electricity bill 💵 to run it, would cost you more in the end
Modern washing machine will break down in a few years. This machine is heirloom quality. Have seen several reviews and demos. I will be getting one when we move to our cabin.
You would have to wash it in the bath tub. Wringing it out would be the hard part but you probably don’t have to wash a comforter that often especially if it has a cover.

The only thing you really need here is the wringer. It'll make your life easier. Everything else you can improvise.
You can get a new clean mop bucket that has a wringer and use a new plunger. Less costly.
washer looks great. but at their price its just not afordable for the comon household.
Ok...my maytag set was $1200.00. With Lehman's you don't need a new one for decades, if at all. Families can save up for the good stuff.
If it's "Made in America" it's always more expensive.
I paid 1300 for my washer and dryer. I’m considering getting this and I see there is an interest free payment plan for four payments. Maybe save some cash for a few months to make it easier to pay on it?

I use a nail apron to hold my clothespins, works great and they are easy to make from an ordinary heavy duty drop cloth.
Been a fan of Lehman products for more than 39 years
Hubby and I are going off grid and have already decided on the washer this guy shows. Can't wait to get out of city!
Went full time off grid over 10 years ago. We have solar, wind, solar generator, & reg generator.
I personally been off grid since 1980’s here & there.
I’m so much better mentally being here. ♥️ enjoy your journey!
We are off grid 3 yrs now , I will tell you you can sure see the scam our governments are into
I wish i could order from France. A lot of people want to live a simpler life and reduce their bills. Your store is incredible. I love the oil lamps, they re beautiful.❤

How can anyone afford any of these things
I would definitely buy this. Right now I use a scrubba and air dry what I can and use a machine for heavier items since I can't wring them out. Love the simple life.
I have the extra large drying rack - I bought it about 30 years ago and it is as good and strong as it was when I bought it. I got the small one about 5 years ago and it's just as wonderful! EXCELLENT drying racks!
Lehmans you ROCK !! thank you
I have purchased a wringer mop system that has a squeezer to squeeze out the water.
The store looks like a great place to visit! And shop!!
Would like to have one but the price makes off limits.
All of their products have become very expensive
From what I have seen on a recent video is that the operation was bought by a large company but the family is still in charge to an extent. Let’s not forget the cost of wood, metal and labor has gone up in the last two years as of 2024.

I love vintage style laundry!!! I am now your fan!!!!
Thanks for this short demo. Can you show us the wall mounted clothes lines?
The Items Cost But They Look Sturdy. Probably Don’t Be eat Down. I have Memory s off My Grandma’s Large Wringer Washer. I Loved It 😊
These items are built solid, heirloom quality, your grandkids will be able to use them.
🇨🇦🇺🇸Question: can you extend/replace the legs on the washer for taller folks? 🤔
Yes you can replace with longer boards
Wow I really want the nice washing machine but I sure can't afford it so I guess it'll probably never happen especially since I live on Social Security now.
Where can I order one❤
Really need one of those.if some one could let me know how to get one 😊
This is perfect , now I know what I want , thanks
May I see the interior of the steel washing machine, or at least get a description? I've seen similar machines with bolts/screws on the interior that would catch cloth and tear clothes.
My guess is you can find description when you browse their website.

why are legs on washer so short?
Probably because the swisher pole is so long.

I want the washing. Machine. How much is it
I'm from Germany and want to buy a handwasher. How is it possible or who in EU have this washer to buy? Thank for requesting!
I love Lehman products!!!!
I wonder how thick fabrics behave on this... like sweats, I live in the cold weather.. any information will be highly appreciated.

I looked on the website but didn't see it.
I wish you'd ship to Canada 😟
It will cost an arm and a leg.
I would buy one but they won’t ship to Canada , any ideas how I could get one? Is there a patent on it ?
probably expired 150 years ago
How much is the wringer by its self
Around $300/Can... 😔
Can you wash a twin duvet cover in this?
This is so cool!
Well i wish I could shop on line but their website has blocked Greece from accessing it. Have an order ready IF the items are still available for shipping to my address in Ohio.
We just purchased the small washer he is showing. I called the number on the web page and its not correct. Can someone help me get it touch. I love the washing machine. I really look forward to getting this.
I was shocked how expensive the hand powered washer isit sucks because I can't afford your price
How much is that item, the first washing tub set up w the wringer?
Holy cow
Why are you not available in the U.K.?
We recently had to suspend shipments internationally, but we are working on restoring this services.
Doug and Stacy sent me!
The tubs are not available at this time.
I love that washing machine and pulley clothes line. It's really pricey for me though. I know it's worth it but I can't 😢😢😢
explain me this, why so expensive?
A 5 gallon bucket with a lid and a hole for a plunger with a handle works just fine too.........you just have to hand wring the liquid out of them😞
Use a new mop bucket with a wringer.
Remember, folks, this is for people that live off grid! It's doable instead of driving 30 minutes each way once A week.
Their manual wringer is way too expensive. Why don’t they have competition.
Lol. They do. Many people use a mop bucket with wringer either with a spin mop style or I have heard more of the commercial mop buckets with wringers.

@@brittney4513 That’s an innovative idea! Thanks for sharing!
@@jflowers41 you're welcome
How much with tax and shipping to El dorado County approximately? Al so is it already put together when it's mailed ? Will I have to put it together?
You need to put it together
Shipping is based on your merchandise total and you would pay whatever your local sales tax is. Information is on Lehman's website.
$899 for that hand washing machine? Why would it cost as much, and in some cases more, than a modern washing machine? That’s ridiculous.
Online price is a few hundred $$ more - I'd love one, just cannot afford that price.
Because it’s not mass produced. Speciality unique items always cost more and with this, you’d get the money back in saving - smaller electric bill. Buying a modern machine for the same, with years of electricity bill 💵 to run it, would cost you more in the end

All hand made by the Amish. Sturdy.
Thhats not 899.00 of materials.
awesome.
I like this concept. But the legs definitely need to be longer. Leaning over that little short thing is a backache waiting to happen.😂
But it doesn't look big enough to do a comforter...I love the whole simplicity of it, but I haven't seen any anywhere that can fit a comforter
You would have to wash it in the bath tub. Wringing it out would be the hard part but you probably don’t have to wash a comforter that often especially if it has a cover.
I like the washing machine but the last price I saw is xbout 1,300+. To much for that.😏
It's very small.
Do you know i can diy much cheaper washing machine with some buckets 🪣 and screwdriver drill machine.
I bet they all have a maytag at home.... As do I!
Sorry to say, but that is a joke on toothpicks and the price out of this world.
Shame on Lahmans for canceling Doug and Stacy for talking about the truth what going on, SHAME HAME SHAME
I support Lehman's for following what they believe. Everyone has a right to their voice, right or wrong....
