No one could have been more skeptical than I about this thing. But at the price, and with the hope of not having to constantly lug clothes back and forth from a laundromat, or take the chance that the 2 units in my building with 40 people might be open (they never are) I took the plunge. Clothes get clean, and and the spin cycle really gets them to an acceptable level to hang dry them quickly. Unfortunately, most apartments I know don't have drains in the floor (or a place where you'd be comfortable letting machine run off spilling onto the floor, so I'm using the "put it in the bathtub option." This does mean I've got to move the machine out after each use in order to bathe, but that's the most minor inconveniences. I do with the hose was a bit longer, but c'mon . . . that's really not even a quibble. It's a lifesaver and you can do a nice small load from start to finish in about 20-30 minutes. Love this little workhorse!
So far so good! I got it earlier than expected!
I’m just not so sure how long this machine will last. How I wish there is a built-in lint filter in the machine as it is collecting lint and passing it on to another load, which could possibly cause damage to the machine in the future when it builds up. But, other than that, I think I like it.
Also, machine is so small that it almost looks like a toy washing machine. The hose for water inlet doesn’t fit the standard faucet size so putting in water would have to be by bucket, and the drain hose is very short, so I have to frequently move the machine close to a drainage to drain.
Love my portable washing machine, works great, pretty quiet for the most part. Large washing area, about half the size spin drying area than washing but that's fine. Spin drys almost dry, hang dry for about 10 mins after spin dry to dry clothing in moderately warm to hot areas. My kids even wash their own clothing alone, very easy to utilize and money saving. Moving from apartment to house soon and will not be replacing portable washer for upgrade.
This washer exceeds my expectations! I live in an apartment that does not have washer and dryers in unit. The washer fits a small to medium load. I've had this for a few months now and I use it at least twice a week! It works well with my OxiClean and my regular detergent. The only thing I would like to warn you about is that the spin cycle does have a kick for about 3 seconds when it's first starting to spin and then it stabilizes out. If the clothes are not balanced in the spin cycle it will continue to make a loud knocking sound and you just need to adjust it. For every wash cycle I usually split it up into three or four groups for the spin cycle. I am amazed that it gets most of our clothes about 80% to 90% dry! Lastly this is a gravity drain not a pump drain.
As soon as i got it, I used it!! I've only had it for a couple hours but so far so good! I noticed a few minor cons about the appliance but the PROS OUTWEIGH them!! Firstly, I wish this unit cane with a longer draining tube or atleast something that can be used to prop up the washer. The draining tube has to be flat/straight for it to be properly drained. Secondly, the tube used to connect to a faucet. It would be great if it came with something that could be attached, instead of having to hold it. (Save yourself the time and just buy a bucket to fill up the washer) These arent even really cons, just preferences. Other than that!! BUY IT! Its quiet, it actually washes your clothes, and the spin dry isnt getting enough credit!! I placed my kitchen trash can beside it so you can see how it is a space saver as well!! $110 WELL SPENT!

This washer is amazing! I never have quarters for the washer and dryer in my apartment building, and I always find myself stuck in line to wash behind my neighbors. This washer/dryer has saved me from many headaches and neighbor squabbles!
I have been setting it up in my bathtub so that it can drain, and rather than using the hose the company provided for filling the washer with water, I have been using a bucket. Wash cycles take about 15 minutes and spin dry cycles take about 5, so between the washes and rinses, I end up getting the same amount of laundry done as I would have using a regular washer/dryer.
The con, of course, is that you have to hang dry and your clothes aren't tumble-dry soft, but adding vinegar to the washing water has helped combat stiff clothes. You'll still need to use a regular washer for large washes (comforters, rugs, etc), but for weekly washing, this thing is perfect.
Cute little machine. Smaller then I expected and both drain and inlet hoses are very small. Couldn’t for the life of me figure out how it attaches to water line or faucet. But works like a charm, as long as close to water and drain. Perfect for single person.
I love my machine! It works incredibly well, takes up little space, super easy to figure out. I'm thrilled! I live in a small one bedroom apartment with no laundry facilities, so this is perfect! I dont want to have to haul heavy laundry up and down stairs at my age and sit at filthy laundromats with people with bedbugs and screaming kids. I have a physical disability that makes it hard to lift heavy things, and this is easy to move around. Lightweight and doesnt take up much room. I love it!!!! I ordered a dryer too. And its absolutely true that the clothes are spun dang near dry! You do have to make sure your load is balanced so it doesnt shake. Just like a real washer.
FYI make sure your middle knob is turned to standard or soft otherwise all your water will drain out as you fill it. And yes you can just add your own water without using the inlet ports or hose. I use the shower head I have. Also do not use water over 60 degrees, it alters the plastic and can ruin your machine very quickly. As long as your not over stuffing either side your machine will run great for a long time. People complaining about their machines breaking are quite obviously over stuffing, using hot hot water or not balancing the loads. It's like any regular washer, treat it as such.
This is the best thing to have if you camp. We just came off of a week of camping and it was nice not to have to come home to piles of wash to do.
It's extremely easy to use and very lightweight.
I have a 1 bed room apartment with washer and dryer hook up but can’t afford a washer and dryer right now. So I started looking into these because spending 5 hours a week at a friends house to do laundry became daunting. I wish the hose was better and it didn’t drain by gravity. I’m gonna have to do some finagling to get it just right. I also wish it got the clothes dryer. The reviews said it dried clothes in minutes but it takes a good whole night of hang drying to dry. It beats spending hours doing laundry. I’m curious to see how it holds up over time. All in all worth the money and you get what you pay for. Probably going to end up buying a portable dryer but really like the size of the washer.
