They were popular during 2000 to 2015, but now their popularity is going down, and more people are looking into fully automatic variants.
Semi-automatic versions use less amount of water in the washing purpose, but their problem is drying.
After washing your cloths, you may need to open the wash tub and put your cloths to the dry tub to get the cloths dried, which is not needed in a fully automatic versions of the machines.
