NOTE: DO NOT throw away packaging! Instructions (inside unfortunately!) state to keep it all in case of repairs/returns. 1. After finding a set up that works, the labor involved is minimal! (This is still more involved than a regular laundry machine, but worlds easier than handwashing.) If, unlike me, you can keep it where you use it, and use the water inlet (I did try filling manually for a bit), the only additional labor involved is maybe some wringing of the clothes before spinning (practically dry in just hours after hanging, though it has been low humidity here lately too). 2. Absolutely follow all instructions. The only one I had issue with was the (loose) spin tub cover. There's 2 (attached) lids that close on top of the spin tub, and then a loose cover that's included. The loose cover came warped and I did my best to flatten it and follow the instructions for placement during use, but it moved during use and some of the cover's plastic was shaved off by the spin tub's movement. I've since been using the spin tub without the loose cover without issue. 3. The detergent amount definitely takes getting used to. It's a high efficiency (HE) machine and then with HE detergent, you only need a drop or so of detergent. Otherwise you will have to do a few rinse cycles. (I like to do one rinse cycle anyway, on top of letting my clothes soak.) This machine is amazing. I only wish it could fit bigger stuff! So happy to not have to lug all my clothes to the laundromat each week anymore!

Play Video Tired of spending crazy money at the laundromat while at the family cabin for 6 months/year, or filling up my car with dirty laundry when I have to go home periodically, I decided to try out this portable washer/spinner. So glad I did!! In the few weeks I've been using it, it has paid for itself. Honestly I like it better than my big machine at home. It's fun and easy to use, gets my clothes cleaner and fresher smelling in a much shorter time, uses less water/energy/soap as well. I have elderly dogs and use "dog towels" which need frequent washing. I can bring less clothing to the cabin as I can run a small load anytime. I purchased a drying rack from Amazon a few years ago. I set it up on a sunny deck and after spinning (w/no wrinkles like in my big machine at home) items dry in about an hour. I use my new washer in an old tub (see pic). A small hose attached to tub faucet fills, and it drains into tub drain w/attached drain hose, works perfectly. I didn't need to raise up the machine (which is nearly impossible anyway) and yes a little water gets under machine when draining, but it is definitely not an issue. I love this little machine. It saves hours and many dollars at the laundromat. I have a few tips: dont use too much soap, use liquid as the pods are gonna be too much soap for any load that fits, ,and while you can rinse on the wash side after washing and draining, just filling up again w/fresh water, I have found that using minimal soap, sufficient water and not too many items per load, AND adding a little liquid water softener right in w/the soap during the wash cycle, cleans and softens without the need of rinsing at all..as long as items aren't excessively dirty. If you are careful with the lint holder, empty after each load, let it dry and carefully snap it back in, it will last and function well. I leave the tops open to dry machine after using. Press the vented plastic piece onto the wet clothes on spinner side and it takes about a minute to spin water out. I recommend not overloading either side. It's just me and my dogs. This is not designed for use by a large family, maybe just as a backup. All said, it's an amazing little machine and I believe I chose the best one at the best price!

I have been washing clothes by hand for decades. I would only use laundry facilities when washing bulky or heavy items. Everything else I washed in a bucket with a plunger-looking thingy (that I also bought on Amazon). I do not find hand washing to be onerous. On the contrary, most of the wash time is soak time. But as I have been doing laundry this way for decades, over the years, I noticed that I had less strength in my hands, wrists, and arms, and wringing out the clothes was difficult. I would end up draping dripping clothes on my drying rack. It was a mess. Enter this washing machine. Now, my mom and grandma had portable Hoover washing machines in the 70’s and 80’s that they rolled up to the kitchen sink. They were heavy beasts made of metal and had thick, rubber hoses that actually could fit on a faucet. This is not those. This is a plastic made-in-China thing with thin plastic hoses that could never in a million years fit on any American faucet. If you think this thing is a replacement for a “real” washing machine, you’d be wrong. It’s not even a replacement for the old-timey portable washing machines. What this thing is is an easier way to hand wash. If you think of it this way, you’ll never be disappointed. It’s very light, which is good. I pick it up easily and put it in my tub. The inlet hose is a joke, so I fill a bucket and pour the water in the washer that way. Others have rigged up funnels on their shower head. You’ll figure something out. I don’t find that to be much of a pain; after all, I’m used to doing laundry by hand, so this is similar enough that I’m not bothered. If you’re used to a large automatic washer where you throw the clothes in, set it, and walk away for a half hour or more, this will seem to be a pain in the butt. But coming from hand washing, it’s fine. The best part of this is the spinner. It gets so much water out of my clothes that they are barely damp when I hang them on my drying rack. No more wringing! That is the best part. Heck, I wouldn’t mind washing clothes by hand in my bucket and just using the spinner function to get the water out. Don’t use too much detergent. Most people have that problem when using any kind of washer. You don’t need tons of suds. Also, keep the water in the tub while spinning. You need the weight. Drain it after you’re done using the spinner. In conclusion, if you think you’re getting a smaller, lighter version of an automatic washing machine, you’ll be disappointed. But if you want something a step up from hand washing, then this is the thing for you. You’ll love it! No more wringing!

Very effective portable washer - great for single person, trailer, camper, cottage. 120V can do pair of jeans, several shirts, long john, face clothes half dozen socks. Can do 6-8 polos easily. The high speed spin drum is incredible, 30 seconds and clothes are 80% dry - saves drying time. Drain works great, 5 gallon bucket works if you don't have permanent hookups. The gentle cycle is really just half cycle time of regular - 3 seconds on agitator vs 6 seconds. Wonderful little unit, cleans clothes very well - very happy.

Play Video I ordered a few days ago and this morning it was delivered right to my home! yessss (i live rural so i was so happy it came here instead being dropped at the nearest town post office) so delivery was AWESOME. i have already washed 5 loads of laundry today and i am so happy with this washer. i have fibromyalgia and this washer is still easy and light enough for me to lift into my bathtub to use! i just use my detachable shower head to fill it up... then put my laundry soap sheet in... turn it on and away it goes! and then, the wash is done and done well and spun almost dry in 10 minutes. i find 3 minutes on spin gets things 90% dry... go for 5 minute spin if you have a few more items in the spinner. This is really a wonderful little unit!! i am very happy so far!! great for people in apartments, Travel Trailers, or for someone like me...who has pain and most days has trouble with getting up and down basement stairs with baskets of laundry... :)

Pros: cuts drying time because spinner is fast, cleans clothes very well, fits in small spaces good for apartment Cons: short hose and doesn’t fit on any faucet so have to fill up manually, needs to be close to a drain to drain out and cord is also not very long.

This machine, although plastic, is sturdy and seems well made. The bottom based gyrator is strong however one needs to keep untangling wash items while being washed. The spin dry tub extracts water extremely well and quickly. the machine is light enough to easily lift in and out of the bathtub, where I find it easy to use, fill and drain. Note: I use the styrofoam packing form that it came packed in, as a base for the machine to sit on in the tub to soften noise & vibration and to prevent damage to the tub. I cut and duct taped the styrofoam to accommodate the water drainage hose. I hang the styrofoam form up to dry afterwards to prevent mold from forming. Sadly for me, I paid $50. more in 2022 for what appears to the same machine. Still, all in all, I’m very satisfied with my purchase. Great little washer spin dryer!

First off, the machine arrived way before the estimated time of arrival. It arrived three (3) days after I ordered it... that was a nice surprise. It washes as good as a bigger machine, and the spin-dry describes spin-dry very well, it comes out from the spin almost dry for small items. The only drawback are the hoses. The water inlet hose does not fit any of my tap fixtures. So I use a bucket to fill it. I put the machine in the bathtub (like others have done), then the drain hose works very well this way. As for the water inlet hose, I have ordered a new shower-head which has a long hose that will reach the machine wery well, to fill it up, rather than using a bucket. I consider these drawbacks not too harsh given that the machine is awsome!
