OTRS Foldable Dishwashing Basin – 16 Liters – Blue/Gray

The OTRS foldable dishwashing basin is an indispensable accessory for anyone who wants to use space efficiently without compromising on capacity. With a generous 16-liter capacity, this basin is ideal for daily dishwashing at the campsite, but also as a portable sink or multifunctional basin in and around the house. Thanks to its innovative material combination, this model combines a large capacity with an extremely flat storage profile.

This dishwashing basin is made from a technically sophisticated combination of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic rubber (TPR). The bottom and upper rim are made of sturdy PP, which ensures the necessary stability when the basin is full. The flexible TPR center section allows the basin to be folded with a simple motion. When unfolded, the dimensions are approximately 42 x 34.1 x 18.4 cm, while the basin is only 5.8 cm high when folded. Weighing approximately 770 grams, the basin is also very lightweight.

This model offers various functional features for optimal ease of use:

- Maximum Space Savings: When folded, the tub is only 5.8 cm thick. This allows you to easily slide it into a narrow drawer, among your camping gear, or into the trunk of your vehicle.
- Sturdy Handles: The reinforced PP rim serves as a handle, allowing you to safely and securely carry the filled basin to the dishwashing area.
- Large Capacity: Despite its compact design, the 16-liter capacity provides ample space for a full family’s dishes or for soaking larger items of clothing.
- Easy to Maintain: The smooth TPR and PP walls are easy to clean and dry quickly, which is essential for hygiene while camping.

For long-lasting and safe use of the OTRS dishwashing tub, we recommend the following:

- Temperature limit: Use water with a temperature of no more than 60°C. Higher temperatures may adversely affect the elasticity of the TPR section or cause the material to deform.
- Folding and unfolding: Place the tub on a stable surface. Press down on the bottom while pulling the rim upward to unfold the tub. When putting it away, press the rim evenly downward toward the bottom.
- Cleaning: Rinse the basin after use with clean water and mild soap. Avoid using sharp objects or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the flexible walls.
- Drying: Ensure the basin is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage. This prevents limescale buildup or odor formation in the folds of the rubber.

The OTRS 16-Liter Foldable Sink is a technically reliable and practical solution for any camper or resident of a compact home. The combination of the sturdy frame and the durable, foldable center section makes this a high-quality product that will last for years. The objective assessment is that, thanks to its light weight and impressive space-saving design, this sink is a superior alternative to traditional, bulky dishwashing sinks.
