Boma 12L Folding Washing Machine BM-788

Boma BM-788 is an upgraded, high-capacity portable washing machine designed for those who need a compact laundry solution without the tiny 2–4 liter limits of basic models. With its 12-liter capacity, it is one of the larger "bucket-style" foldable washers available, making it much more practical for daily essentials.

## Technical Specifications

• Model Number: BM-788

   

• Max Capacity: 12 Liters (Extra-large for its class)

   

• Power: 36W (Energy-efficient motor)

   

• Voltage: 220–240V / 50–60Hz

   

• Material: Food-grade PP and TPE (Heat-resistant and durable for folding)

• Operation: Intelligent touch buttons

   

## Key Features

• Foldable & Space-Saving: The "accordion" design allows the machine to collapse to about 15–16cm in height, making it easy to slide under a bed, inside a cabinet, or into a suitcase for travel.

• Integrated Elution (Wash & Spin): It features a detachable spin-dry basket. You can wash your clothes, drain the water, and then attach the basket to assist in removing excess moisture (dehydration).

   

• Simulated Hand-Washing: The internal pulsator (bottom wheel) is designed to mimic manual rubbing. It provides a gentle yet effective clean that helps protect delicate fabrics like silk or lace.

   

• Blue Light Sanitization: Many BM-788 units come equipped with a built-in blue light function intended to help inhibit bacterial growth during the wash cycle.

   

• Drainage System: Includes a dedicated drain port and hose, so you don't have to lift and pour out a heavy 12L bucket of water manually.

## Laundry Capacity Guide

The 12L drum is specifically designed for "small batch" laundry. On average, it can handle:

• Underwear: 10–12 pieces

• Socks: 15–20 pairs

• Baby Clothes: 3–4 outfits

• Towels: 2 medium-sized hand towels

## Usage Modes

The digital touch panel typically offers three timed modes:

1. 3 Minutes: For a quick rinse or the spin-dry (dehydration) cycle.

2. 5 Minutes: For standard light cleaning.

3. 10 Minutes: For more soiled items or a deep "soak and wash."

## Pro-Tips for Best Results

• Water Temperature: You can use warm water (up to 60°C) to help dissolve stains faster, as the TPE material is designed to handle heat.

• Avoid Heavy Items: Do not attempt to wash jeans, heavy sweaters, or large bedsheets; the 36W motor is designed for light-to-medium fabrics only.

• Stability: Ensure it is placed on a flat, hard surface. Most units have suction cups on the base to prevent it from "walking" during the spin cycle.
