Generation Pass Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroaki Okamoto; Stock Code: TSE Standard 3195) is adding a new product to its "simplus" series: the SP-BKWMR01, a bucket-style mini washing machine that can be operated simply with the buttons on its included remote control.
With more people living alone and more households sharing life with pets, there has been growing demand for the ability to wash certain items separately rather than combining everything into a single load.
The new machine is a compact bucket-style washer with a washing capacity of 600g (up to 700g of dry fabric weight) and a maximum water capacity of 10L. Alongside simple remote-control operation, it offers powerful washing with a four-blade propeller, hot water washing up to 70°C, and an antibacterial design. It can be used for a range of purposes, including washing mud off sneakers and sportswear, keeping underwear, socks, baby clothes, and nursing-care items separate from the rest of the laundry, and washing pet items on their own.
Whether used as a second washing machine for solo households or simply for handling the occasional load that needs to be washed apart from everything else, the SP-BKWMR01 offers an easy way to take care of small, everyday laundry needs.
Key Features
1. Simple Remote-Control Operation That Anyone Can Use Right Away
There are no complicated dials or switches to figure out. Using the included remote control, the machine can be operated with just the push of a button. The buttons are sized and positioned to be easy to press, so the machine can be used quickly and easily on busy mornings or for a small separate load. When not in use, the remote can be tucked into a recess in the lid, so it stays out of the way while remaining easy to find when needed.
2. Powerful Four-Blade Propeller Wash With Automatic Water Flow Switching Tackles Stubborn Dirt
The machine uses a four-blade propeller, more than the three blades typically found in similar products, for strong washing power. The direction of the water flow switches automatically about every six seconds, moving clothes thoroughly as they wash. With a maximum rotation speed of 320 times per minute, it can clean dirt that is difficult to remove by hand. Raised ridges on the side of the unit also act like a washboard, adding a scrubbing effect. This makes it useful for pre-washing or separately washing items such as sneakers and sportswear with noticeable mud stains.
3. 600g Washing Capacity — Handy as a Second Washing Machine or for Separate Loads
Washing capacity is 600g (up to 700g of dry fabric weight), enough for roughly 3 dress shirts or 7 T-shirts as a guide.
It suits small loads such as "just today's clothes" or keeping children's clothing and pet items separate from the regular wash. It can handle a variety of uses, from washing mud off sneakers and sportswear to keeping underwear, socks, baby clothes, and nursing-care items separate. It works well as a second washing machine for solo households, and also as an extra machine for the household in general.
4. Hot Water Washing Up to 70°C Helps With Odors and Stubborn Stains
The machine supports water temperatures of up to 70°C, allowing hot-water washing that is difficult with a typical washing machine.
Compared to washing with water alone, this makes it easier to remove stubborn dirt and odors, and using warm water also helps shorten drying time afterward. Water can also be drained directly through a drainage hole at the top of the lid, making cleanup after washing straightforward.
5. Energy-Efficient Design: 60W Power Consumption, About ¥0.7 for 15 Minutes of Use
Power consumption is an energy-efficient 60W. Running the machine for 15 minutes costs approximately ¥0.7 in electricity, making it easy to use for small loads whenever needed. Leftover bathwater can also be used, reducing the amount of water needed for washing. Two water flow modes, "Standard" and "Soft," can be selected depending on the clothing and type of dirt, allowing delicate items to be washed gently. The timer can be set for up to 15 minutes.
*Electricity cost is an estimate based on power consumption multiplied by usage time and the electricity rate. Actual cost varies depending on the electricity provider and rate plan.
6. Antibacterial Rate of 99.9% for a Clean, Multi-Purpose Design
The bucket and the rotating part at the bottom feature an antibacterial finish, confirmed by a third-party antibacterial test to achieve a 99.9% antibacterial rate. This helps suppress bacterial growth and keep the interior of the unit clean. It can also be used to wash mud off vegetables and fruit, a use that has likewise been verified through third-party food testing. A tighter seal between the lid and body also helps reduce water leaks and splashing during use.
*Antibacterial performance is based on third-party test results.
7. Lightweight at About 2.6kg and Compact Storage, Taking Up Little Space When Not in Use
The unit weighs about 2.6kg. Its bucket shape with a built-in handle makes it easy to carry to wherever it's needed, such as the bathroom or washroom. When not in use, the main unit can be stored inside the bucket itself for a compact footprint. It also carries an IPX4 waterproof rating, making it suitable for use in bathrooms and washrooms.
8. Backed by a Reassuring 1-Year Warranty
The manufacturer's warranty is valid for one year from the date of purchase, for continued peace of mind over the long term.
