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.

## 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:
-
3 Minutes: For a quick rinse or the spin-dry (dehydration) cycle.
-
5 Minutes: For standard light cleaning.
-
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.
