Theo Klein created this washing machine for children as an exact replica of the popular Miele design and equipped it with all the features that children need to have fun, with real functions! When your little ones press the Start button, a complete wash cycle will start, including filling up with water, washing, draining, and spinning. An in-built sound module provides the appropriate sounds, right through to the signal to tell them that the washing is done. Each function can also be started individually using the buttons to the right of the Start button and will work with or without water, depending on what the children think will be more fun. The water drains away quite simply via a pipe. And, by the way, the washing machine can also be operated manually without batteries. There is a crank handle on the rear side of the machine which can be used to turn the drum to do the washing as part of the children's game. The battery-powered Miele-design toy washing machine can be filled up with water and the water can also be drained out again, and it works with or without water. It has four wash programs with the appropriate sounds and comes with two packets of detergent.Details:White7.28" x 10.24" x 7.09"Requires 3 C batteries for full function (not included)Can be filled with water and drained4 wash programs with soundsIncludes 2 packets of detergentFor ages 3 and up
