A time saving washing machine (20) with multiple basins (21, 22, 23), to handle practically, efficiently and economically a onetime process of washing multiple types of laundry (colored, white clothes and towels) is provided. The washing machine (20) provides three separate basins (2 i, 22, 23), one main basin (21) and two secondary basins (22, 23). The agitators (25, 26, 27) for the basins are driven by a motor (38), the motor's output shaft (39) directly drives the main agitator (25), while driving the shafts (44, 45) of the secondary agitators (26, 27) through a drive belt (41) connected to pulleys (42, 43) provided on the shafts (44, 45). A centralized water feed line (28) and multiple cleaner compartments (35, 36, 37) are installed to distribute the water and the cleaner to the basins (21, 22, 23). The basins side walls have a wavy surface (53), to flex, move and turn the fabrics in multiple directions so that it is exposed to and repeatedly penetrated by the pumping water's force and detergent solution from all sides. |
