Washing machine for bubble hash

[by2]

So I am about to invest in some washing materials and was looking for a washing machine when I came across this USB washing Maschine.
I see some benefits in it not being so big so don't need so much storage and I can use it in what ever bucket I want.
The only concern might be heat since the motor will be in the water. It is not using much power so don't anticipate it to generate too much heat.
What do you all think?

I can't see why that wouldn't work it looks ideal if it doesn't you've not lost a lot of money, fwiw ebay are cheaper for the same item iirc £10

I would reconsider-
You will need a 220 washing bag to put your product into- Then your hash water will be all inside this thing- you will need to rinse it while saving the water- then the more water- the longer it takes to strain-
I recommend the bubble bag dude machine and his full mesh bags- 4 bags are enough- more bags = more draining and cleaning.
I just finished a few huge batches- and as the bags get used- they take longer to drain

If you're investing and have funds look for a RV washer even the Chinese made ones on eBay Like 55 dollars. Can load a quarter pound,bag of ice,then let it soak for 30 min then run and empty into bags.

I didn't think of that.
You just saved me a few grams of hash. thank you
I heard that full mesh is the way to go since it won't stretch out the screen so much and drains quicker so that's what im going for.
what microns do you use?

It is not so much about the money but more about the storage. I will only do 1 or 2 washes a year so it will take up space the rest of the time.
Can't see any other alternative thou, except for doing it by hand.

Yea I hear ya,it's not that big and does a wonderful job if on the fence some time. Like 3 or 4 gallon size.

I'm maybe missing something, what would be different about working with a washing machine over a bucket?

The washing machine can be drained- from the bottom-then filled again and again easily- I usually do 3-4 washes per batch- and I dump the dry weed directly into the machine- no 220 micron bag - last time I bought hash- years ago- i paid $70 for 1/4- the machine and bags are not free but I believe it is the right tool for the job-
PS- I just washed a couple pounds- it’s a lot of work-

Its a hell of alot of work. Which is exactly why im about to buy one of the 20 gallon machines. But definitely go ahead and buy the machine, after you use it once you’ll realize you shoud’ve bought it long time ago and will realize its definitely worth the money. But if you’re gonna be washing more than a half pound i’d look at the 20 gallon machines. It usually ends up taking me a full day to do a couple pounds with the 5 gallon.

I just ordered a 5 gallon machine and full mesh bags. Don't plan to wash so much, only the lower grade buds and trim so with be so much.

I was just about to be lazy and ask you bubblers if you use fresh or frozen material when I decided to goggle it and found a great article.
just out of curiosity, Fresh frozen or dried ?

I use dried-

 

[jcdws602]

Fresh frozen is the way.

 

[Stiickygreen]

Nice.

I bypassed the motor on the drain in my unit and extended the drain hose. I bungeee the hose to the side of the machine and release it to drain into the buckets. Doing it this way....I use no bag IN the unit....just ice/water/weed. I then drain into the bags.

Frozen. Always.

Have fun

 

[SBNDB]

Both. But i think dried then frozen yields better. For me. I end up doing a lot of outdoor fresh frozen. If it looks like mold is gonna take one before it can fully finish i’ll chop whats still good and throw it in the freezer.
