The following pictures will be very helpful if you cannot see a Staber washer in person. It shows exactly how it operates, along with how easy it is to load and unload. Up to 16 standard bath towels (measuring 26" x 42") can be loaded because there is no agitator in the way and you can utilize the entire tub volume. Note: Towel fabric thickness varies; the thicker the towel, the less you will be able to load.
