Had a little one for years then my mom had before I'd love with me and my husband it did pretty good I got big one now like to get little one but little bigger
I saw the person complaining that it worked only for a year, but I would still consider it a deal as being better than having to go to a laundromat even in your own building. I think a conservative estimate of $5/week to do a load of laundry adds up to $260/year. You still will have a saving if you have to buy a new one every year, plus the convenience. It does require more attention than a traditional "set-it-and-forget-it" washer/dryer but the convenience, space and efficiency of this is worth is. I am considering converting a shuttle/school bus into a tiny home and was looking for a way that I could still avoid a laundromat. It isn't for everyone, but you just have to honest about what your needs really are. Thanks again for another detailed video. You answered questions I wouldn't have even thought about asking and offered great tips. P.S. you can also use nylon knee-his as filters on the end of the hose ... although you want to make sure it doesn't get stuck in your bathtup drain. ;-)
Can’t tell you how valuable your research, tips, and clear instructions have been to this 78 year old. It’s like having a lovely granddaughter tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for the great videos, they were easy to understand and helped me buy one. I recouped the cost of it within six months not having to use the laundromat.
I love my little machine similar to this one - it's saved me so much money! I air dry everything on a large gull-wing rack. I invested in a 2.5 cubic foot mini electric dryer... I can't afford to run it a lot to actually dry the clothes from wet, but I at least run them for a few minutes to fluff before I fold so they're not stiff or wrinkled. And both units are small enough they can be stashed in the closet when the landlord inspects once a year - lol.
I got mine because they raised the price of a load to 2 dollars, and also because I live in an apartment, and some people think that the machines are their own personal machines and can leave a load in as long as they want. When the machines break down, I am the one calling in for repairs, like if I work for the apartment building or something. I love my new machine. Forgot to add they never empty the lint traps I would empty it every time.
Hi Great instructional video! I have regular sized washer and dryer but love my portable washer and portable dryer as they dont use as much water and electricity. I find that using a nylon knee high over the drain pipe or whatever drain you use will collect all the fine lint. You would be amazed! You could also put the strainer into the nylon and it will collect the fine lint. Also I found that if I put the washer on an exercise step (found at goodwill or savers) it not only keeps machine off the floor of tub but cushions the sound. The way you connected the type of funnel was genius! I am fussy about getting all the soapy water out and will spin the soapy water out and place clothes back into clean water and agitate with softner for 6 minutes and spin again. I don't use water in spinner. It doesn't get enough soap out for me. Hope I helped someone. I have had my Panda twin tub 5 years and love it. It gets my socks and underwear very clean. Just don't overload washer or spinner and it should last.
Thank you!! (: Love it! Thank you for all this info, I have gotten this recommendation with the nylon over the hose to!! I gotta try it!! And the exterior step is a great idea so thank you! Glad I could help with the funnel! Thank you again(:
I have a regular sized washer and dryer in the basement but I hate making three trips down there just for a load of laundry. I hate lugging heavy laundry up and down stairs too. I think a twin tub type washer could fit in a spare shower stall I have on the main floor. Maybe I can clean the bathroom etc. and attend to one of these machines at the same time. My basement dryer just quit on me and I have a mini dryer on order and I already have a Panda Spinner. I just have to figure out which washer to buy.
I'm getting mine very soon from Amazon and I can't wait. I take care of my 85yr old mother and we live in a senior citizen apartment complex with laundry facilities but the problem is all apartments/hallways are indoors and a lot of the tenants don't wear masks. I also won't go to the local laundromat either as I can't risk my mother's health. Anyhow, with that being said, when I was a kid our washer would drain in the utility sink and we kept a nylon knee high stocking on the end of the hose by a rubberband to avoid the whole clogged drainage issue. Just throw the stocking away once it was full. Works great!
Yes it is well worth it, so you can have a better chance of her not risking anything and best to stay home, so that’s understandable. This has definitely saved me many trips and money compared to having to take my laundry to the laundry mat every-time. Oh and that nylon idea is genius! Some other person mentioned that in the comments as well! I’ll have to give that a try to, so thank you!!(:
@@neoshazavala Got it yesterday and holy crap where has this thing been all my life! I've been a clothes washing fiend and have done 3 loads already..lol
I'm so in need of this. You are a very clever and a thorough demonstrator. Nothing as far as I can see was left out. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me make my decision on purchasing this machine. I wish more RUclipsrs would make better informative demo video this way.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you saying that(: I try my best to go into as much detail as possible since I know everyone's perception can be different when learning about new things(; So thank you!!
Your video was straight to the points and very helpful!!! Most of these portable washer videos are women talking about themselves and their situations that I don't care about😏 ...so shutting them off soon. I saw many so I can make the right choice. Perfect suggestion on the diesel funnel since my apt faucets are difficult. 👍👍👍 Great INFORMATIVE video!!! You rock girl!!!!
Great job! Got mine delivered today! Just need a cord and funnel....possible clothes rack too. You did so good..I pulled it out of the box then I was stuck! You blessed me today😇
This is an excellent review. My washer broke down 2 years ago and I refuse to put tons of money into another set. I've been using a wringer attached to my sink which works for me quite well, but this would be useful for a couple pair of jeans or other things that are more difficult to wash. Thanks for taking the time for making such a good review.
Such a helpful video, thanks so much!!!! I feel like I've had an education on how to use one of these things, I was quite confused before. I really appreciate you showing us exactly what you do, lengths of time, rinsing, detergent, your set up etc. Thanks so much!!!
I am so grateful for your videos on this. I was so stressed and wanted to scream reading all the reviews for different machines! I am 33 weeks pregnant with our first and we're gonna use cloth diapers! But our laundry room is expensive and in the basement, and between Post Partum and the newborn, the less I leave our apartment, the better! I ended up buying one thanks to you
Great info. Very helpful and informative. I love your casual and easy-going presentation style. You're adorable and the keeping the out-takes in the video was a fun touch. (We're all human, and that makes your videos even more "real" and honest.) --- Good luck with your channel
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that! It really takes effort and thought creating fun edits to keep you guys entertained! So I appreciate you noticing that, thank you!!
Wow you are great with the camera. Very coordinated showing the lint trap and different hose connections with one hand and still having that camera right on your work thank you for your video
I checked out the WalMart price in my area. It was almost $9. I found the same funnel for half the price at Lowe's, AutoZone and Advanced Auto. Hope this helps anyone else on a budget like I am. Love your videos. So thorough!
Just came to this one right after watching the first one. Thanks so much for *2* awesome videos about this machine. I haven’t actually tried it yet but thanks to your videos it looks like I can just switch the drain pipe so it comes out the other side machine - that’s the side where my bathtub drain is so between that and your funnel trick, and the drying rack, I think I’m good to go!!
Giiiirl...THANK YOU ...the funnel idea!!! Can't wait to try it...ps. try a knee high nylon sock to filter the end of your drain...I was shocked I much MORE was getting trapped. The fine silt is what builds up and clogs up, you want to avoid that
Thank you for watching!(: Happy I could help!! Thank you for that! I do have a few comments also mentioning the nylon sock trick which is still a great idea, but honestly I still use it without because of the TubShroom and draining faster ya know. After some time like once to 3 times every 5-8 months my drain has really only clogged up because of when my hair falls out when I shower🥲🤣 literally all my hair. I’m amazed with how I shed. I’ve made it a habit to try and catch my hair when I run my fingers through with my hands so it won’t run down the drain. That way I don’t get much clogs that way to lol
Great follow up! The electrical arcing is common on brushed electric motors. Many power tools are the same and you can see the arcing quite clearly (drills are really easy to see). Nothing to worry about on your washer.
Thank you! I had someone a while back somewhere say this as well! Perfect explanation with bringing this up for those who are concerned again! Thank you so much (:
I just purchased one and your tutorial made me more confidant about my choice 😅 I live alone and don't have a way to transport a laundry machine or dryer, so my only other option would have been to purchase brand new ones that would have cost me (from my research) at least 800$... this machine cost me less then half of that and now I don't have to hand wash my clothes anymore or go to the laundramat that's 15 min away walking (which feals like an hour when I have my blankets and sweaters in there)... really is the perfect fit for me and now I actually know how to use the damn thing 😂😂
I’m glad I could help In make your decision (: Right so much cheaper and honestly a better option when it comes to things like this for sure! Good luck with your machine 🙏🏽😊
These machines are incredible; I have two (and a portable dryer). 😅 Apparently, they've been 'round since the '60s or even before. ✌ Sidenote: floating lint traps work amazingly for these twin tubs ☺😍
Right!! They’re really beneficial! I got a portable dryer to! I absolutely love it! I’ll be making my video soon! I just ordered my Laptop yesterday, so when I get it delivered, I’ll definitely be making a dryer video as well! 😊😁
I've had & used mine for over a year & love it. I downsized, so this is perfect for me. ONE TIP, THOUGH. I am 5' 10" & have a 38 inch inseam. DO NOT wash more than 1 pair of pants at once. Otherwise your pants will end up in 4700 knots that only a sailor can undo. I find I pair of pants & 3 shirts is a perfect load size. Again, being 5' 10," my washer sits snugly on 4 cinderblocks right next to my shower.
Yes!! I’m in the process of getting a new computer so I can be able to edit my videos. So I don’t have one at this time/: I wanted to go over this exactly in a new video and have been planning on it, thank you for sharing this because this was something I totally spaced in my videos as well! (:
Thank you. Are there times where you have to break up the spinning task into sections since, for some reason, the spinner tub is smaller than the washer tub.
Thank you! Yes absolutely I didn’t edit that in my video since I wasn’t doing that at the time. But yes as I learned throughout the years I like to wash more and I use the spin cycle into sections where it’s not over loading it to spin without knocking side to side since it’s too much weight it can handle anyway. (:
@@neoshazavala Respectfully, I can't believe they can't make the spinner area larger. I bought the RCA 2.0 twice and boy what a mistake that was. Searching for another brand of the big automatic types. Good luck with yours.
Yeah. I moved into my new apartment and got a washer and dryer so I don’t really use this machine anymore. But i will say it did save me a lot of money vs laundry mat lol! Thank you so much for watching(;
@@neoshazavala I'll bet the Chinese want to start us off on these little manual ones, and when we get sick of them we'll buy their automatics....lol! Sadly, no big-name American brands went into the market with their own USA made portables.
I have this and was wondering why in the heck I would use water on the spin cycle side. Thank you for the demo! I hope I have a long happy relationship with this washer.
Great tutorial, thank you! Maybe you could attach a command hook to the side(s) of your washing machine and rest the power cord on the hook while it's connected to the extension cord....you know, just to elevate the power cord while the machine is in the tub. Appreciate the lint tips, and the funnel hack. Off to order the tubshroom for my RV shower :P
Hey thank you!(: I appreciate the suggestion, that’s what I was honestly wishing what would of came built on the machine because it would of just made sense right?! Lol I’ll need to do that maybe one of these days. But honestly the way I did in the video is the same way I still do it, still works great(: But either way thank you so much! 🙏🏽 I’m happy I could help with some tips as well(:
I really want one but the prices are crazy, these things were $70 bucks. Now these companies are getting over on people.. First video Ive seen where everything is explained - Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome !! Happy I helped(: For this price of 180$ I wouldn’t say it’s too bad compared to other items on markets. But it sure is worth the investment for how much work it’s helped me with!(:
I have a Zokof brand. You actually convinced me to buy one based on your reviews. I'm happy with mine. I bought a bigger funnel by accident but my shower is just like yours. It works great. 💪
I discovered years ago a nice way to dry clothing. I put up two adjustable shower rods in my shower tub and hung up my clothes. I had a nice closet and hung most of my things instead of folding them. i hand washed most things and would have loved one of these machines.
Thanks for your amazing and completely understanding instructions. Have me seriously looking at my own machine. Your notes were very easy to understand Again, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰
Thank you, what a thorough and informative video. I just wish that the machine would rinse the clothes automatically without having to rinse it twice after the washing, like the regular sized ones do, thanks again.
You can also swap the drain tube to the other direction, as I have so it is on the tub drain side. I'm getting a plastic lint trap that sticks into the tub drain. I ran my extension cord over my shower curt rod, it is up, out of the water. BTW, sweetheart, how'd you sustain a shiner? Excellent job 👏 on explaining how you use this machine.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that(: Don’t worry lol I get this a lot!! It’s a skin pigmentation condition. My nephew head butted me 6 years ago on my lap by accident, my eye bruised and the blood above drained down and it lead to becoming a hematoma. So the damaged tissue under my eye has a hard time allowing the blood to circulate correctly so The blood collects and collects, and now has changed the color of my eye permanently until I’m able to get blood drainage surgery or somethin!(:
I watched both your videos Neosha. Very well done and very informative. You have a nice big smile and I bet you got a nice heart behind it. God bless from an old man
I don’t, but I recently went to harmons and bought a long bristle like brush to clean it. But I haven’t yet, I just need to figure out a solution to help break apart all the lint collection in the drainage tube though
I had a panda washer/spinner a few years back...I absolutely loved it! I love your funnel idea..i have a suggestion that helped me...use it if you like..i hapowned to have a double shower chair that i put the machine on top if..to get it up out if the tub, so you don't have to worry about the water getting up under the washer...i didnt even think of that funnel method..i used a bucket and filled that with water and added the water that way..i didnt have a handheld shower..after wash cycle...drain...fill up with buckets and rinse...i didnt feel that it rinsed well enough in the spin cycle..i am not criticizing in any way your way of doing .i moved to an apartment with full size hook ups..otherwise i would still have the machine..i ended up selling a fb marketplace..thanks for your video!!
Same shirt from the end of the first video. I actually thought that was a nice touch. The instructions that came with it were trash. Glad I found you. ☺
I figured something else cheaper than getting the plug. Just get a piece of net material and attach it to the end with a string or hair band. I was about to order when I thought of the idea! 😅
Thank you so much for your detailed video I love the funnel connection. I’m going to buy this. They need to pay you court your review. Also, which dryer did you go with? You you love it? Thanks in advance New stubbie
Hey, thank you so much(: I do have a review video on the panda tumble dryer on my channel. Feel free to check it out if you’d like. Panda tumble dryer review: ruclips.net/video/e9DU6BoOud8/видео.html
Girl they need to sponsor you! I have the same washer and drying racks. Whenever it’s time for me to wash I watch videos to get motivated. You’ve done that today. I’ve had my washer a year now so I knew a lot of the instructions already but still learned some stuff! Thanks and let me get started because it’s getting late. I don’t wash at night because although the washer doesn’t make a lot of noise I don’t know how it sounds to the people below me. Don’t want no problems because I love my washer.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment(: Yes I’m glad to help and be as detailed with things as I can since everyone can be different with perception and all of course! But yes definitely a better choice to use this machine at appropriate hours so it won’t cause any issues to anyone else.
I worry about the noise too, but I have mine on a wooden dolly then on 2 by 4 wood slats with sponge material under the legs of the washer and it really cuts down on the noise because it’s not sitting directly on my floor. She did one of the best video presentations I’ve ever seen!!!!
Great video! But I found that rinsing in the spinner is definitely way better than rinsing in the wash tub. I just did a video demonstrating how effective the spinner is at rinsing with the water running in. Your hack with the funnel is great and I wanna try it, but I bought a Rinseroo and that works great too.
Great video as well(: You’re right that spinner is effective when spin drying your clothes and all with getting the suds out. I have used it on my end and my clothes were drying hard when I was doing it this way mainly. But I prefer to not use the dryer side since my tube for the water inlet in the dryer side isn’t really long enough honestly for me to use that spin dryer so maybe I just wasn’t rinsing good enough. That’s why my clothes were coming out not the way I wanted after drying. So thank you for that! So honestly whatever works best for each and every person with different living situations finds what fits them best for this machine, then that’s perfect!(: I’m glad you enjoy your Rinseroo. I’m just trying to help give my experience and ideas. That way people can either copy, or get their own ideas from seeing my idea if that makes sense (:
I'm late to this party...but 2 things I thought I'd mention. Longevity - I bought mine in 2016....and it's still going strong!! Had a bit of hiccup with the tub not holding water, but found some videos about declogging the hose, and that showed me there's a thing inside (take off the back panel) that can be opened, and low and behold - a paperclip had gotten in there somehow!! Took it out, closed it up and no more leaking tub!! Which is good since the prices on these have skyrocketed!! My model is $100 more than when I bought it!!! But even at today's prices - at $3.50 a load to wash and dry - it doesn't take long to pay for itself!! The second thing - which I'm guessing you may have learned by now - you're using too much detergent!! Cut it down by half and you won't have to rinse so much. Instead of half the lid, try 1/4...and 1/2 the amount of dawn you're using. Since you fill the water first - add in the detergent and run it for a few seconds to get it mixed into the water before adding your clothes. One video I watched he fills it about 1/4 way, adds the detergent, then turns it on. Keeps filling it with water and lets it agitate while he adds in his clothes. A great way to make sure you don't overload the clothes and you can use only as much water as that load needs. And an extra bit that it took me about 5 years to notice - there's actually a fill line inside. Mine is just to the right side of the filter and I had to feel for the bump before I could find it. Turns out it's the same height as the ridges that go up the side. So don't fill past the ridges and you're good. :)
Oh that is so good to know!! Thank you for sharing this!! But yes I am still editing my video for my next review on a product but working on my review for part 3 on this portable washer machine because I did notice I did things in my previous videos that I do a lot more different today, so I’m on that note yes I definitely go back and watched my videos and we like yeah I used way to much soap lol and water, but I definitely do it different now I’ll be posting that video soon. Thank you so much !! 🙏🏽
@@neoshazavala dose the job im really suprised with what it can do!! my only concern is how strong really is the pump/filter on drain, some say should be draining level or least from high to low point if that makes sense, guess cant complain for £100 lol get oil out my stuff dont really have a choice :)
Hey I’m glad to hear that the machine is also working out for you!(: I forgot to edit it on my videos looking back. So the soft is more of a softer agitation for delicate materials. So then the normal is where the agitation continues longer to wash materials better to. But right I agree! Lol
@neoshazavala iv been using power with mine for last year or so kinda yolo approach 🤣 but I do keep meaning to change over but it's what I have access too 😏
Almost bought this in the fall of 2018. It was $100 then it's 150 now. There's a fully automatic one that is the same price now as it was in 2018 which is the one I bought which I love. This is a little bit lighter though even though it's somewhat manual. I still like this one though it just reminds me of one I saw decades ago
Thank you! That was my original plan but since this is an apartment I am not allowed to make any changes, so I figured just getting the funnel would allow me to make things easier, as well as not having to make any changes to the apartment.
Sorry, I didn’t go over this in the video. But there are two water inlets for each side not just the washer side. So for the spin cycle, there is a water inlet also that you can stretch over the tube to however you situation is, but you can be running the water at the same time it’s on or off. So hope that helps(:
Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review, which I must say is a very good one. I really appreciate it! By the way, I love your name, it's beautiful!
Thank you so much! I’m happy to see you saw this video as well after your request for this second review! Thank you for the idea! Thank you so much, I appreciate that🙏🏽😊
@@neoshazavala You're more than welcome. You do us favors by taking out the time to make , edit and post videos. That can be time consuming. So Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
I would definitely set your machine up on a plastic step stool so it's up off the bottom of the tub. Just one of those short ones that kids stand on to reach the sink. Then there is no worries about the machine or cord in contact with water in bottom of tub.
I’ve honestly still been using the mat I have that set on the bottom of it so it never scratches or scrapes the tub. It’s still been doing just fine after over 2 years now. I make sure to not get the cord wet. It’s all good(: Thank you for the suggestion though
You did a really good job showing this machine. I chose a little cheaper one on Amazon ( the Zeny, doesn't have a lint filter inside washer, will use pantyhose over end of drain tube and some type of filter over my tub drain), but I guess they're pretty much the same in operation. Your video was excellently detailed. I'm just hoping I don't damage my bathtub putting my machine in it. I boutht a tub mat at Dollar General so I hope that prevents any damage and helps to keep it from moving around a lot. I will have to turn my machine backwards and use it that way in my tub because my tub faces in the opposite direction of yours in the video. Wish me luck.
Hey thank you for taking the time to give your feedback! Thank you so much 😊 That’s great! A few people have commented about the Zeny and I’ve heard it’s great to! So I’m glad you found what works for you! Yes I’d definitely recommend getting a mat that has enough thickness to hold the machine and give it enough of a space between that and the tub, that way it won’t scratch it or move as it’s running. I got mine from smiths!(: But some good decent ones are at Walmart to.
Hey, I’m not sure if the Zeny has the same feature but when she turned this one upside down it showed that you can switch the drain pipe so that it comes out the other side. I have the same problem as you. Just did my first load today and wasn’t loving having to reach over the lids to transfer the clothes. Since I don’t have the funnel set up yet I was using a large bowl to fill it with water and with it facing away from me that wasn’t easy. Anyway, you’ve had yours for awhile now but just in case you were still dealing with the wrong side drainpipe thing I thought I’d mention the idea that you may be able to switch the drain to the other side. I’m going to pop a commando hook on mine so I have a clip to hang the drainpipe from on that side.
I recently got one of those but set it up on my kitchen counter but I see that your bathroom set up is the same as where the sink and outlet is outside as well as the same shower head style but now I might have to try it this way cause it kinda sucks having to use a bucket to fill up the water. There’s not a a lot of videos I thumbs up but yours definitely get a thumbs up from me 😁 as far as the filter, I already have a hair stopper in my bathroom but as a double filtering process what I use is an old wig cap attached at the end of the hose or I’ll take my old mesh small laundry/bra bag and will use an old loofah that’s pulled apart and put the loofah in the bag and then put the hose in the bag
@@neoshazavala and I bought that funnel recently and must say BEST LIFEHACK EVER. No more filling it up with a bucket since before I had the washer on my kitchen sink
Oh my gosh so happy you like it!! Yeah everybody definitely has different situations, so I’m glad this works out for you as well!(: Thanks for the feedback on letting me know! I really do appreciate it🙏🏽😊
I know this video is 3 years late but did you ever think about taping or velcroing the power cord to the machine so it won’t be a hassle keeping it from avoiding water?
Honestly, I just did it the same way I did it in there for years. It was the way I did it and never ran into issues. I got used to doing it the way I kept doing it. But taking both what you recommended, that is not a bad idea though. So thank you for those ideas any way🙏🏽
Hey thank you, I hope all works out for you on your end in regards to the machine 😊 It’s a birthmark, just found out a few months ago after getting my skin biopsy it’s not what I thought it was before. It’s a birthmark. Called nevus of ota.
Great Job. In the market for a mini washer. I do have a item for you to check out that I discovered on Amazon. Works fantastic in the washer..... Charlies Soap and Charlies Booster. You will notice the difference after a couple washes. 👀
I appreciate the advice, but I’m totally okay without having a timer. So I don’t mind going and turning the knob just timing in my head when I turn it for 15 minutes and what not. And again I tried my best in the video to show I have had no problems with water damage. And still have not had any issues doing it the way I’ve done. I respect others opinions of course(: But I am happy with how I’m and have been doing it.
@@neoshazavala I was only giving you some pointers not advices, I was thinking about getting my wife one to cut down on the wear and tear on the big front loader washer just looking for a video where someone get righ to the point i hear people talking in the videos but I'm not really listening just observing with my eyes and listening to the reviews.
Where do i put the filter for the washer at exactly? I just ordered one and can't wait to get it!! Want to be set up and ready when it arrives. Thanks for any info or ideas...
@@neoshazavala I have changed to using only dawn when washing clothes in my new portable. I LOVE IT!! My clothes smell so good and Idk if its the dawn or my washer but all clothes come out so much cleaner!! My sons previously stained white shorts came out cleaner. No bleach. Cold water and Dawn dish soap!! Its amazing!!!
Oh yay!! I’m so glad I could help!! I love it too, i can definitely tell a difference in my clothes when it comes to looking, smelling, and just coming out way cleaner since it helps fight grease stains and all! So it’s perfect(:
I’m so sorry I was going through comments and saw I missed yours, sorry for the delay. But, yes I did I have this brush I found at harmons like over a year ago that I never ended up using but it looks like it would help a ton for cleaning the drainage tube/pipe. I’ll have to edit the brush in my video for y’all I’m currently editing giving this time for me to learn more. But I ended up filling the machine up a with enough water but not a lot if that makes sense, so almost half way full is basically enough to mix water to agitate pouring a little tiny bit of bleach and some white vinegar, and baking soda is what I mixed all together and I figured I’d let it drain out so it cleaned when it’s draining with all the fix and stuff it’s creating and it worked pretty darn well for me, it cleared out the pipe without me scrubbing it and cleaned itself while draining, I let it sit with hot water not to hot but warm warm. Then agitate all that for like 5-10 minutes let it drain and stop, drain and stop. That way it’s having enough time to make it through fizzing/cleaning while draining. And it took a few times but it eventually cleared out all the gunk out on it’s own. I I also soaked the water inlet after pouring straight baking sides and white vinegar in to then let it fizz and then put it hot water in the sink to sit and soak so when I rinsed it with hot water the yellow came out, because it did turn yellow over time with all the water collection and humidity I didn’t think at the time could collect.
I bought the costway 28lb one last yr I loved my little mini 9lb one I had I used for my sons cloth diapers n it had last 6yrs so when I seen the costway 28lb one on Walmart website I said I gotta get that I was so excited got it n within 4m the seam that holds the lid was no longer holding the lid down it technically still worked but I'd have to put bucket on it so it went to the trash area this totally ruined my drive for these types of machine's frfr 💯
Oh man sorry to hear about your experience. So helpful in using these for cloth diapers to for sure, that’s smart! As mentioned in my disclaimers everyone can have many different types of experiences with the same machine. I luckily scored and got a good one that had no issues. It suck’s when you get a product and it comes broken,damaged, or misplaced but I always look at reviews before I get something. Then I question if I get a bad one of anything from the manufacturer if they build it funky, or the shipper damaged it on the way to me. Because others have great experiences, whats stopping mine? Lol my video on my portable dryer yeah I had to order that 3 different times because the machine came damaged from the ups package handler. So that was fun. But I never gave up, got the machine and it worked. All I can say is don’t lose hope from one bad experience because you may have just got unlucky but try again might score next time like I did with getting my panda tumble dryer for the 3rd time LOL.
I've been gifted the same machine but without instructions. I'm having problems with the spin tub. It seems it doesn't want to drain. Any tips on fixing this?
I apologize for the delayed response. Honestly I haven’t experienced that. I wouldn’t know that answer. But I would recommend contacting the company directly to see if you can get an answer/or replacement. Because there might be that chance you got one that’s unfortunately not functioning the same as it should.
It’s honestly up to you, what ever makes it easier for you in your situation/where ever you are. If it’s a faster option for you and easier than I don’t see why not. So yeah just do whatever works for you really(:
That’s what I was thinking to.I just got used to not doing it ya know. But yes this is definitely better for those that could use this to make life easier when timing things sometimes lol. Thank you for leaving this suggestion here as well, I appreciate that🙏🏽😊
just got mine and i love it! did you get the warranty? thinking about it. Not sure what to do. thanks great tips! Cheers🌞💞 btw... i hang it all on my shower rod on hangers. i use clothes pins on hangers to hold stuff like towels or pillow cases, socks, etc... we figure it out don't we? 💕
I don’t remember but I believe I did? It was $5.41 for a 5 year protection plan it says on the website. I honestly need to get back with you on that. I’ll contact the seller and see!(: Thank you so much!! Glad to help(: I agree! We definitely get it all figured out when and how we can(;
Now watching this second part to your first video...question ? After two years since making your videos, how is the machine holding up? Thanks in advance!
Quick follow-up: Can you wash queen sheets and full-sized bath towels? Or is it mostly for smaller items? (ie: do you still have to visit a coin-operated laundry occasionally?)
With this machine I've been able to wash tops 5 towels depending on how thick or thin the material is of the towels and blankets. I just have the light fuzzy blankets I can wash about 2-4 at once. So the towels of course being separate from the blankets, so (separate loads), So I've been able to wash those without a problem but it really based on your judgement once you get more comfortable and familiar with the machine just really all depends on the size and material and how much water weight you think it will be vs if the machine can take the pressure/weight or not. Hope that helps(:
The one I had, had the drain pump, and it went 2 years before the drain pump started having problems. What I paid for it compared to what it cost to go to the laundromat, it PAID FOR ITSELF 3 TIMES OVER. If it weren't the pump type (gravity drain like this one) it would have probably gone for another 2 years, BUT being in my 60's, the idea of lifting it into the tub wasn't ideal. It still WORKED, and even drained, but once the water was gone, it started making grinding noises. Yes, I bought a NEW ONE, same brand (but a larger capacity), and gave the old one away to a young couple just starting out. Told them about the grind and suggested the guy bypass the pump. The NEW one I got is the 26lb with pump version for UNDER $150 (Temu), and when it dies, I WILL be getting another one, because a simple HOUSE CALL for a repair on a regular machine is MORE than what these cost new!!
Sorry, I hope I’m understanding. But I can’t put the drainage hose from the machine into the bottom of the TubShroom. It helps me to filter since I’m not using the Nylon way since using this TubShroom. But whichever is easier for what works for everyone(: TubShroom filters great to though 😊
Tell me what you all think! ! Hope this was helpful(:

Is that a birthmark on your eye? Just wondering....
Had a little one for years then my mom had before I'd love with me and my husband it did pretty good I got big one now like to get little one but little bigger
@@niecybaby1960 It’s a hematoma, a skin condition(:
@@janelake2682 Right! They’re so helpful!!(:
I saw the person complaining that it worked only for a year, but I would still consider it a deal as being better than having to go to a laundromat even in your own building. I think a conservative estimate of $5/week to do a load of laundry adds up to $260/year. You still will have a saving if you have to buy a new one every year, plus the convenience. It does require more attention than a traditional "set-it-and-forget-it" washer/dryer but the convenience, space and efficiency of this is worth is. I am considering converting a shuttle/school bus into a tiny home and was looking for a way that I could still avoid a laundromat. It isn't for everyone, but you just have to honest about what your needs really are.
Thanks again for another detailed video. You answered questions I wouldn't have even thought about asking and offered great tips.
P.S. you can also use nylon knee-his as filters on the end of the hose ... although you want to make sure it doesn't get stuck in your bathtup drain. ;-)
Can’t tell you how valuable your research, tips, and clear instructions have been to this 78 year old. It’s like having a lovely granddaughter tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I’m happy I could help😊
You should get the command stickers and stick on the back of your washer so that you can hook the cord on to the command hook
@@hairea54 That would also be helpful as well! Thanks for the great tip
This is so wholesome. 😇
Thanks for the great videos, they were easy to understand and helped me buy one. I recouped the cost of it within six months not having to use the laundromat.
Thank you for watching(: I appreciate hearing your feedback! Such a great experience with saving money this way for sure!
I love my little machine similar to this one - it's saved me so much money! I air dry everything on a large gull-wing rack. I invested in a 2.5 cubic foot mini electric dryer... I can't afford to run it a lot to actually dry the clothes from wet, but I at least run them for a few minutes to fluff before I fold so they're not stiff or wrinkled. And both units are small enough they can be stashed in the closet when the landlord inspects once a year - lol.
Right! Definitely worth the investment! That’s a great idea though, if it works, it works right?(:
I got mine because they raised the price of a load to 2 dollars, and also because I live in an apartment, and some people think that the machines are their own personal machines and can leave a load in as long as they want. When the machines break down, I am the one calling in for repairs, like if I work for the apartment building or something. I love my new machine. Forgot to add they never empty the lint traps I would empty it every time.
Hi Great instructional video! I have regular sized washer and dryer but love my portable washer and portable dryer as they dont use as much water and electricity. I find that using a nylon knee high over the drain pipe or whatever drain you use will collect all the fine lint. You would be amazed! You could also put the strainer into the nylon and it will collect the fine lint. Also I found that if I put the washer on an exercise step (found at goodwill or savers) it not only keeps machine off the floor of tub but cushions the sound. The way you connected the type of funnel was genius! I am fussy about getting all the soapy water out and will spin the soapy water out and place clothes back into clean water and agitate with softner for 6 minutes and spin again. I don't use water in spinner. It doesn't get enough soap out for me. Hope I helped someone. I have had my Panda twin tub 5 years and love it. It gets my socks and underwear very clean. Just don't overload washer or spinner and it should last.
Thank you!! (: Love it! Thank you for all this info, I have gotten this recommendation with the nylon over the hose to!! I gotta try it!! And the exterior step is a great idea so thank you! Glad I could help with the funnel! Thank you again(:
I have a regular sized washer and dryer in the basement but I hate making three trips down there just for a load of laundry. I hate lugging heavy laundry up and down stairs too. I think a twin tub type washer could fit in a spare shower stall I have on the main floor. Maybe I can clean the bathroom etc. and attend to one of these machines at the same time. My basement dryer just quit on me and I have a mini dryer on order and I already have a Panda Spinner. I just have to figure out which washer to buy.
JUST CAME FROM THE FIRST VIDEO & I THOUGHT THAT WAS INFORMATIONAL 😱😜 THIS WAS A GREAT ADDITION! AMAZING REVIEW! THANKS AGAIN! 3 YEARS LATER❣️💯
Hey just responded to your other comment on my other video, thank you so much again! I truly appreciate your kind words! 🙏🏽❤️
Omg, i have one on the way, the other videos I've watched were good but this one, by far, has been the best post. Thank you!!! 🦋🦋🦋
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment🙏🏽😊
I wish all RUclips reviews were are as straightforward and comprehensive as yours. Bravo!
Thank you so much! Truly appreciate that🙏🏽 Detail is everything and I’m glad people like you appreciate the time I take to go into detail(:
I'm getting mine very soon from Amazon and I can't wait. I take care of my 85yr old mother and we live in a senior citizen apartment complex with laundry facilities but the problem is all apartments/hallways are indoors and a lot of the tenants don't wear masks. I also won't go to the local laundromat either as I can't risk my mother's health. Anyhow, with that being said, when I was a kid our washer would drain in the utility sink and we kept a nylon knee high stocking on the end of the hose by a rubberband to avoid the whole clogged drainage issue. Just throw the stocking away once it was full. Works great!
Yes it is well worth it, so you can have a better chance of her not risking anything and best to stay home, so that’s understandable. This has definitely saved me many trips and money compared to having to take my laundry to the laundry mat every-time. Oh and that nylon idea is genius! Some other person mentioned that in the comments as well! I’ll have to give that a try to, so thank you!!(:
I just ordered one today. No washer outlet where I live. I'm excited
@@neoshazavala Got it yesterday and holy crap where has this thing been all my life! I've been a clothes washing fiend and have done 3 loads already..lol
Yay!! Good luck with it(:
I’m so glad you like it!! It’s amazing for a little machine (:
Thank you for showing the use of the water inlet on the spin side. No one ever shows or uses it. I have the same machine and I love it!
Your welcome!!(: Me to! It’s so worth it (:
I'm so in need of this. You are a very clever and a thorough demonstrator. Nothing as far as I can see was left out. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me make my decision on purchasing this machine. I wish more RUclipsrs would make better informative demo video this way.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you saying that(: I try my best to go into as much detail as possible since I know everyone's perception can be different when learning about new things(; So thank you!!
Your video was straight to the points and very helpful!!! Most of these portable washer videos are women talking about themselves and their situations that I don't care about😏 ...so shutting them off soon. I saw many so I can make the right choice. Perfect suggestion on the diesel funnel since my apt faucets are difficult. 👍👍👍 Great INFORMATIVE video!!! You rock girl!!!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you saying that 🙏🏽😊 I’m so happy I helped!!!
Great job!
Got mine delivered today!
Just need a cord and funnel....possible clothes rack too.
You did so good..I pulled it out of the box then I was stuck!
You blessed me today😇
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you taking your time to leave feedback on my video! Im happy I could help you!🙏🏽
This is an excellent review. My washer broke down 2 years ago and I refuse to put tons of money into another set. I've been using a wringer attached to my sink which works for me quite well, but this would be useful for a couple pair of jeans or other things that are more difficult to wash. Thanks for taking the time for making such a good review.
Hey thanks for the feedback!(: I’m happy you also found this useful! So again thank you so much 🙏🏽😊
i reccommend adding fabric softener in the rinse cycle it makes my clothes softer and smell so good when air drying
Yes I’ve been doing that to!! They really do!! Thank you so much (:
Such a helpful video, thanks so much!!!! I feel like I've had an education on how to use one of these things, I was quite confused before. I really appreciate you showing us exactly what you do, lengths of time, rinsing, detergent, your set up etc.
Thanks so much!!!
Hey thank you so much!! I appreciate your feedback on letting me know how much this has helped you to! Thank you so much for watching!!(:🙏🏽
Do you still love this machine, two years later? Great instrumental vid. Thank you for posting.
I do! Still works just the same(: Thank you so much
I would just put a cut down knee high stocking on the end of the drain hose. This is a great video! Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻🌺🌺
Thank you !!🙏🏽 😄
I am so grateful for your videos on this. I was so stressed and wanted to scream reading all the reviews for different machines! I am 33 weeks pregnant with our first and we're gonna use cloth diapers! But our laundry room is expensive and in the basement, and between Post Partum and the newborn, the less I leave our apartment, the better! I ended up buying one thanks to you
Awww thank you so much!(: I am so glad I could help, especially in times like that!! I hope everything with the machine works out!!Congratulations 🙏🏽😊
Great info. Very helpful and informative. I love your casual and easy-going presentation style. You're adorable and the keeping the out-takes in the video was a fun touch. (We're all human, and that makes your videos even more "real" and honest.) --- Good luck with your channel
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that! It really takes effort and thought creating fun edits to keep you guys entertained! So I appreciate you noticing that, thank you!!
Wow you are great with the camera. Very coordinated showing the lint trap and different hose connections with one hand and still having that camera right on your work thank you for your video
Hey, thank you so much for your comments I truly appreciate that!!🙏🏽
You keep your machine so clean. I saw one college guy's video, and his machine looked so grungy.
I checked out the WalMart price in my area. It was almost $9. I found the same funnel for half the price at Lowe's, AutoZone and Advanced Auto. Hope this helps anyone else on a budget like I am.
Love your videos. So thorough!
Thank you so much for this info m! That way it helps others as well(:
And thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment🙏🏽☺️
Just came to this one right after watching the first one. Thanks so much for *2* awesome videos about this machine. I haven’t actually tried it yet but thanks to your videos it looks like I can just switch the drain pipe so it comes out the other side machine - that’s the side where my bathtub drain is so between that and your funnel trick, and the drying rack, I think I’m good to go!!
Awesome!! Yes, so glad I could help, it definitely nice to get details so I’m happy this worked out for you as well ☺️🙏🏽
Giiiirl...THANK YOU ...the funnel idea!!! Can't wait to try it...ps. try a knee high nylon sock to filter the end of your drain...I was shocked I much MORE was getting trapped. The fine silt is what builds up and clogs up, you want to avoid that
Thank you for watching!(: Happy I could help!! Thank you for that! I do have a few comments also mentioning the nylon sock trick which is still a great idea, but honestly I still use it without because of the TubShroom and draining faster ya know. After some time like once to 3 times every 5-8 months my drain has really only clogged up because of when my hair falls out when I shower🥲🤣 literally all my hair. I’m amazed with how I shed. I’ve made it a habit to try and catch my hair when I run my fingers through with my hands so it won’t run down the drain. That way I don’t get much clogs that way to lol
Great follow up! The electrical arcing is common on brushed electric motors. Many power tools are the same and you can see the arcing quite clearly (drills are really easy to see). Nothing to worry about on your washer.
Thank you! I had someone a while back somewhere say this as well! Perfect explanation with bringing this up for those who are concerned again! Thank you so much (:
Good thinking on the funnel! Your whole video was interesting and informative. Best one I've seen
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that 😊🙏🏽
I just purchased one and your tutorial made me more confidant about my choice 😅 I live alone and don't have a way to transport a laundry machine or dryer, so my only other option would have been to purchase brand new ones that would have cost me (from my research) at least 800$... this machine cost me less then half of that and now I don't have to hand wash my clothes anymore or go to the laundramat that's 15 min away walking (which feals like an hour when I have my blankets and sweaters in there)... really is the perfect fit for me and now I actually know how to use the damn thing 😂😂
I’m glad I could help In make your decision (: Right so much cheaper and honestly a better option when it comes to things like this for sure! Good luck with your machine 🙏🏽😊
These machines are incredible; I have two (and a portable dryer). 😅 Apparently, they've been 'round since the '60s or even before. ✌
Sidenote: floating lint traps work amazingly for these twin tubs ☺😍
Right!! They’re really beneficial! I got a portable dryer to! I absolutely love it! I’ll be making my video soon! I just ordered my Laptop yesterday, so when I get it delivered, I’ll definitely be making a dryer video as well! 😊😁
@@neoshazavala Cool! Can't wait to see it! ^-^ 🤗
Yep, most thorough video so far. Makes set-up looks so easy. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I’m happy I could help(:
I've had & used mine for over a year & love it. I downsized, so this is perfect for me. ONE TIP, THOUGH. I am 5' 10" & have a 38 inch inseam. DO NOT wash more than 1 pair of pants at once. Otherwise your pants will end up in 4700 knots that only a sailor can undo. I find I pair of pants & 3 shirts is a perfect load size. Again, being 5' 10," my washer sits snugly on 4 cinderblocks right next to my shower.
Yes!! I’m in the process of getting a new computer so I can be able to edit my videos. So I don’t have one at this time/: I wanted to go over this exactly in a new video and have been planning on it, thank you for sharing this because this was something I totally spaced in my videos as well! (:
Inseam or outseam? I'm 5'10", also.
Yes I'm plus size...so I've already decided to keep it simple...but now I know why.
Lol
Use a laundry bag then you won't have knots.
Laundry bags...make them your new best friend...I found great ones at dollar store
The most thorough review!
Thank you!!
Hi I was watching another video & good idea to put lint catcher in drain so any hair etc goes down your drain. TY for video
Thank you for watching! I appreciate your comments🙏🏽
Thank you. Are there times where you have to break up the spinning task into sections since, for some reason, the spinner tub is smaller than the washer tub.
Thank you! Yes absolutely I didn’t edit that in my video since I wasn’t doing that at the time. But yes as I learned throughout the years I like to wash more and I use the spin cycle into sections where it’s not over loading it to spin without knocking side to side since it’s too much weight it can handle anyway. (:
@@neoshazavala Respectfully, I can't believe they can't make the spinner area larger. I bought the RCA 2.0 twice and boy what a mistake that was. Searching for another brand of the big automatic types. Good luck with yours.
Yeah. I moved into my new apartment and got a washer and dryer so I don’t really use this machine anymore. But i will say it did save me a lot of money vs laundry mat lol! Thank you so much for watching(;
@@neoshazavala I'll bet the Chinese want to start us off on these little manual ones, and when we get sick of them we'll buy their automatics....lol! Sadly, no big-name American brands went into the market with their own USA made portables.
I have this and was wondering why in the heck I would use water on the spin cycle side. Thank you for the demo! I hope I have a long happy relationship with this washer.
Of course, I’m happy I could help!(:
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, thank you! Maybe you could attach a command hook to the side(s) of your washing machine and rest the power cord on the hook while it's connected to the extension cord....you know, just to elevate the power cord while the machine is in the tub.
Appreciate the lint tips, and the funnel hack. Off to order the tubshroom for my RV shower :P
Hey thank you!(: I appreciate the suggestion, that’s what I was honestly wishing what would of came built on the machine because it would of just made sense right?! Lol I’ll need to do that maybe one of these days. But honestly the way I did in the video is the same way I still do it, still works great(: But either way thank you so much! 🙏🏽
I’m happy I could help with some tips as well(:
Thanks for your video. One of the best tutorials I've seen on you tube
Thank you so much!! (:
I really want one but the prices are crazy, these things were $70 bucks. Now these companies are getting over on people.. First video Ive seen where everything is explained - Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome !! Happy I helped(: For this price of 180$ I wouldn’t say it’s too bad compared to other items on markets. But it sure is worth the investment for how much work it’s helped me with!(:
I have a Zokof brand. You actually convinced me to buy one based on your reviews. I'm happy with mine. I bought a bigger funnel by accident but my shower is just like yours. It works great. 💪
So happy I could help in some way!(: Hope that funnel works out for ya!😁
@@neoshazavala it works! 💯💖
Happy to hear that! 😊🙏🏽
You’re a very clever person! Thank you for the most in depth review ever!
Hey thank you so much!! I appreciate that(:
I discovered years ago a nice way to dry clothing. I put up two adjustable shower rods in my shower tub and hung up my clothes. I had a nice closet and hung most of my things instead of folding them. i hand washed most things and would have loved one of these machines.
Yes!! It’s nice and easy when you have those rods and these machines now to make stuff a bit easier! These machines are so handy now a days I love it!
Oh, I also emptied a handsoap dispenser and filled it with Era. 3 to 4 pumps, is plenty.
Oh nice!! Clever👍🏽😊
Great idea!!
Thanks for your amazing and completely understanding instructions. Have me seriously looking at my own machine. Your notes were very easy to understand Again, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰🥰
Makes my day, thank you for feed back☺️ Glad I could help you to🙏🏽☺️
Thank you, what a thorough and informative video. I just wish that the machine would rinse the clothes automatically without having to rinse it twice after the washing, like the regular sized ones do, thanks again.
I get that completely. But, yeah thank you so much for watching ☺️🙏🏽
You can also swap the drain tube to the other direction, as I have so it is on the tub drain side.
I'm getting a plastic lint trap that sticks into the tub drain.
I ran my extension cord over my shower curt rod, it is up, out of the water.
BTW, sweetheart, how'd you sustain a shiner?
Excellent job 👏 on explaining how you use this machine.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that(:
Don’t worry lol I get this a lot!! It’s a skin pigmentation condition. My nephew head butted me 6 years ago on my lap by accident, my eye bruised and the blood above drained down and it lead to becoming a hematoma. So the damaged tissue under my eye has a hard time allowing the blood to circulate correctly so The blood collects and collects, and now has changed the color of my eye permanently until I’m able to get blood drainage surgery or somethin!(:
I watched both your videos Neosha. Very well done and very informative. You have a nice big smile and I bet you got a nice heart behind it. God bless from an old man
You’re really kind, thank you so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@neoshazavala It is easy to be kind to good people.
😊🙏🏽
Do you know to clean the hose out underneath the washer. ?
I don’t, but I recently went to harmons and bought a long bristle like brush to clean it. But I haven’t yet, I just need to figure out a solution to help break apart all the lint collection in the drainage tube though
Neosha, you are one great teacher. Thank you. I learned so much about portable washers!
Thank you so much!! I love to hear the feedback!! I’m happy I helped🙏🏽😊
I had a panda washer/spinner a few years back...I absolutely loved it! I love your funnel idea..i have a suggestion that helped me...use it if you like..i hapowned to have a double shower chair that i put the machine on top if..to get it up out if the tub, so you don't have to worry about the water getting up under the washer...i didnt even think of that funnel method..i used a bucket and filled that with water and added the water that way..i didnt have a handheld shower..after wash cycle...drain...fill up with buckets and rinse...i didnt feel that it rinsed well enough in the spin cycle..i am not criticizing in any way your way of doing .i moved to an apartment with full size hook ups..otherwise i would still have the machine..i ended up selling a fb marketplace..thanks for your video!!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your feedback!(: It was definitely helpful for sure! I’m glad you liked my video, thank you sm!(:

Hey thank you so much! 😊 Just ordered my computer yesterday that I’ve been saving up for! So I’ll be making more videos real soon !(;
Great job on the video. I think covered about everything. Mine should be here Friday. Hope I like it just as much
Thank you so much! Yes I still have this machine so it’s been great on my end, so I hope you have the same experience(:
There is a water level gauge near the left side of the filter (why they don't mark it in black is beyond me) L
Thank you for this input yes! I wish they also made it more noticeable as well. I appreciate it, thanks for watching(:
I figured something else cheaper than getting the plug. Just get a piece of net material and attach it to the end with a string or hair band. I was about to order when I thought of the idea! 😅
Thank you so much for your detailed video I love the funnel connection. I’m going to buy this. They need to pay you court your review. Also, which dryer did you go with? You you love it? Thanks in advance New stubbie

Thanks soo much I just purchased the washer because of your video. It arrives on the 10th. Thanks for your reply ❤️❤️
Of course, thank you ☺️❤️
Girl they need to sponsor you! I have the same washer and drying racks. Whenever it’s time for me to wash I watch videos to get motivated. You’ve done that today. I’ve had my washer a year now so I knew a lot of the instructions already but still learned some stuff! Thanks and let me get started because it’s getting late. I don’t wash at night because although the washer doesn’t make a lot of noise I don’t know how it sounds to the people below me. Don’t want no problems because I love my washer.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment(: Yes I’m glad to help and be as detailed with things as I can since everyone can be different with perception and all of course!
But yes definitely a better choice to use this machine at appropriate hours so it won’t cause any issues to anyone else.
I worry about the noise too, but I have mine on a wooden dolly then on 2 by 4 wood slats with sponge material under the legs of the washer and it really cuts down on the noise because it’s not sitting directly on my floor. She did one of the best video presentations I’ve ever seen!!!!
Thank you so much!!(: I appreciate that!
OUTSTANDING DETAILS!!! Thanks so much.
Thank you!!! I appreciate you saying that!! Of course😊
Thanks for doing this video. I recently ordered a unit and was hoping I didn't make a big mistake doing so.
Of course! Glad I could help(:
Great video! But I found that rinsing in the spinner is definitely way better than rinsing in the wash tub. I just did a video demonstrating how effective the spinner is at rinsing with the water running in. Your hack with the funnel is great and I wanna try it, but I bought a Rinseroo and that works great too.
Great video as well(: You’re right that spinner is effective when spin drying your clothes and all with getting the suds out. I have used it on my end and my clothes were drying hard when I was doing it this way mainly. But I prefer to not use the dryer side since my tube for the water inlet in the dryer side isn’t really long enough honestly for me to use that spin dryer so maybe I just wasn’t rinsing good enough. That’s why my clothes were coming out not the way I wanted after drying. So thank you for that! So honestly whatever works best for each and every person with different living situations finds what fits them best for this machine, then that’s perfect!(: I’m glad you enjoy your Rinseroo. I’m just trying to help give my experience and ideas. That way people can either copy, or get their own ideas from seeing my idea if that makes sense (:
I'm late to this party...but 2 things I thought I'd mention. Longevity - I bought mine in 2016....and it's still going strong!! Had a bit of hiccup with the tub not holding water, but found some videos about declogging the hose, and that showed me there's a thing inside (take off the back panel) that can be opened, and low and behold - a paperclip had gotten in there somehow!! Took it out, closed it up and no more leaking tub!! Which is good since the prices on these have skyrocketed!! My model is $100 more than when I bought it!!! But even at today's prices - at $3.50 a load to wash and dry - it doesn't take long to pay for itself!!
The second thing - which I'm guessing you may have learned by now - you're using too much detergent!! Cut it down by half and you won't have to rinse so much. Instead of half the lid, try 1/4...and 1/2 the amount of dawn you're using. Since you fill the water first - add in the detergent and run it for a few seconds to get it mixed into the water before adding your clothes. One video I watched he fills it about 1/4 way, adds the detergent, then turns it on. Keeps filling it with water and lets it agitate while he adds in his clothes. A great way to make sure you don't overload the clothes and you can use only as much water as that load needs.
And an extra bit that it took me about 5 years to notice - there's actually a fill line inside. Mine is just to the right side of the filter and I had to feel for the bump before I could find it. Turns out it's the same height as the ridges that go up the side. So don't fill past the ridges and you're good. :)
Oh that is so good to know!! Thank you for sharing this!! But yes I am still editing my video for my next review on a product but working on my review for part 3 on this portable washer machine because I did notice I did things in my previous videos that I do a lot more different today, so I’m on that note yes I definitely go back and watched my videos and we like yeah I used way to much soap lol and water, but I definitely do it different now I’ll be posting that video soon.
Thank you so much !! 🙏🏽
I have yo use one of these given my living situation 😬 iv 3d printed fittings and plugs for mine to use in shower, gotta love it 😂❤
Hey if it works it works right?! lol that’s right, gotta love it 😆🙏🏽
@@neoshazavala dose the job im really suprised with what it can do!! my only concern is how strong really is the pump/filter on drain, some say should be draining level or least from high to low point if that makes sense, guess cant complain for £100 lol get oil out my stuff dont really have a choice :)
Hey I’m glad to hear that the machine is also working out for you!(: I forgot to edit it on my videos looking back. So the soft is more of a softer agitation for delicate materials. So then the normal is where the agitation continues longer to wash materials better to. But right I agree! Lol
@neoshazavala iv been using power with mine for last year or so kinda yolo approach 🤣 but I do keep meaning to change over but it's what I have access too 😏
Almost bought this in the fall of 2018. It was $100 then it's 150 now. There's a fully automatic one that is the same price now as it was in 2018 which is the one I bought which I love. This is a little bit lighter though even though it's somewhat manual. I still like this one though it just reminds me of one I saw decades ago
Great job on the washer review. A easy way to fill the washer if you purchase a shower head with a hand wand you want need the funnel anymore.
Thank you! That was my original plan but since this is an apartment I am not allowed to make any changes, so I figured just getting the funnel would allow me to make things easier, as well as not having to make any changes to the apartment.
@@neoshazavala That I totally understand.
@Bunky's Workshop Still need water hose connected to rinse while spinning. Altough for the washer use is easier to fill it with shower's extention.
Love your ingenuity with the funnel!
Thank you so much!
I just ordered one last night!! Excited
Ooohh I’m sure you maybe have it by now, but if you do!! I hope you like it!!(:
I am definitely getting this after watching your update!! THANK YOU 👍
Thank you, Im so happy to hear that!! Hope you like it (:
That white rack I use it also. I have ELECTRIC baseboard heating so I set mine on the wall above.my baseboard heater,takes a few minutes to dry cloths
That’s smart to, so your materials can dry faster! Thanks for sharing that idea(:
Hi again! Where does the spinner/dryer water go if your still washing a load on regular ? Thanks!!🌺
Sorry, I didn’t go over this in the video. But there are two water inlets for each side not just the washer side. So for the spin cycle, there is a water inlet also that you can stretch over the tube to however you situation is, but you can be running the water at the same time it’s on or off. So hope that helps(:
I enjoyed your in depth demo❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review, which I must say is a very good one. I really appreciate it! By the way, I love your name, it's beautiful!
Thank you so much! I’m happy to see you saw this video as well after your request for this second review! Thank you for the idea! Thank you so much, I appreciate that🙏🏽😊
@@neoshazavala You're more than welcome. You do us favors by taking out the time to make , edit and post videos. That can be time consuming. So Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
I appreciate that, thank you so much!!🙏🏽
I would definitely set your machine up on a plastic step stool so it's up off the bottom of the tub. Just one of those short ones that kids stand on to reach the sink. Then there is no worries about the machine or cord in contact with water in bottom of tub.
I’ve honestly still been using the mat I have that set on the bottom of it so it never scratches or scrapes the tub. It’s still been doing just fine after over 2 years now.
I make sure to not get the cord wet. It’s all good(:
Thank you for the suggestion though
You did a really good job showing this machine. I chose a little cheaper one on Amazon ( the Zeny, doesn't have a lint filter inside washer, will use pantyhose over end of drain tube and some type of filter over my tub drain), but I guess they're pretty much the same in operation. Your video was excellently detailed. I'm just hoping I don't damage my bathtub putting my machine in it. I boutht a tub mat at Dollar General so I hope that prevents any damage and helps to keep it from moving around a lot. I will have to turn my machine backwards and use it that way in my tub because my tub faces in the opposite direction of yours in the video. Wish me luck.
Hey thank you for taking the time to give your feedback! Thank you so much 😊
That’s great! A few people have commented about the Zeny and I’ve heard it’s great to! So I’m glad you found what works for you! Yes I’d definitely recommend getting a mat that has enough thickness to hold the machine and give it enough of a space between that and the tub, that way it won’t scratch it or move as it’s running. I got mine from smiths!(: But some good decent ones are at Walmart to.
Hey, I’m not sure if the Zeny has the same feature but when she turned this one upside down it showed that you can switch the drain pipe so that it comes out the other side. I have the same problem as you. Just did my first load today and wasn’t loving having to reach over the lids to transfer the clothes. Since I don’t have the funnel set up yet I was using a large bowl to fill it with water and with it facing away from me that wasn’t easy. Anyway, you’ve had yours for awhile now but just in case you were still dealing with the wrong side drainpipe thing I thought I’d mention the idea that you may be able to switch the drain to the other side. I’m going to pop a commando hook on mine so I have a clip to hang the drainpipe from on that side.
I recently got one of those but set it up on my kitchen counter but I see that your bathroom set up is the same as where the sink and outlet is outside as well as the same shower head style but now I might have to try it this way cause it kinda sucks having to use a bucket to fill up the water. There’s not a a lot of videos I thumbs up but yours definitely get a thumbs up from me 😁
as far as the filter, I already have a hair stopper in my bathroom but as a double filtering process what I use is an old wig cap attached at the end of the hose or I’ll take my old mesh small laundry/bra bag and will use an old loofah that’s pulled apart and put the loofah in the bag and then put the hose in the bag
Aww thank you so much, I appreciate that!! I’m glad you found this helpful😊🙏🏽 And, Oh my gosh😆 hair stopper on your butt...💀 😂 Lol!
@@neoshazavala omg I didn’t catch that autocorrect until just now. I was like what is she talking about 😂😂
Oh oops !!! I was like whaaat..😆🤷🏽♀️
@@neoshazavala and I bought that funnel recently and must say BEST LIFEHACK EVER. No more filling it up with a bucket since before I had the washer on my kitchen sink
Oh my gosh so happy you like it!! Yeah everybody definitely has different situations, so I’m glad this works out for you as well!(: Thanks for the feedback on letting me know! I really do appreciate it🙏🏽😊
THANKS FOR THE GREAET REVIEW. ALL THE BEST TO YOU!
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽😊
I know this video is 3 years late but did you ever think about taping or velcroing the power cord to the machine so it won’t be a hassle keeping it from avoiding water?
Honestly, I just did it the same way I did it in there for years. It was the way I did it and never ran into issues. I got used to doing it the way I kept doing it. But taking both what you recommended, that is not a bad idea though. So thank you for those ideas any way🙏🏽
Thank you for being so thorough.
I appreciate that, Thank you for watching!😊
So nice and pretty, but the black eye!? Thanks for the info, just bought this model.
Hey thank you, I hope all works out for you on your end in regards to the machine 😊
It’s a birthmark, just found out a few months ago after getting my skin biopsy it’s not what I thought it was before. It’s a birthmark. Called nevus of ota.
Great Job. In the market for a mini washer. I do have a item for you to check out that I discovered on Amazon. Works fantastic in the washer..... Charlies Soap and Charlies Booster. You will notice the difference after a couple washes. 👀
Oh, yes gotta check that out thank you for this recommendation!(: Thank you!
Use a d nylon hosiery on the water drain off to catch lint. Footie n hair tie end to the water drain line
Purchase a chef timer to use for a bell. use milk crates to keep the machine off of the tub floor from water damage.
I appreciate the advice, but I’m totally okay without having a timer. So I don’t mind going and turning the knob just timing in my head when I turn it for 15 minutes and what not. And again I tried my best in the video to show I have had no problems with water damage. And still have not had any issues doing it the way I’ve done. I respect others opinions of course(: But I am happy with how I’m and have been doing it.
@@neoshazavala I was only giving you some pointers not advices, I was thinking about getting my wife one to cut down on the wear and tear on the big front loader washer just looking for a video where someone get righ to the point i hear people talking in the videos but I'm not really listening just observing with my eyes and listening to the reviews.
I respect that, well I do appreciate your pointers, so thank you so much! (: This machine is definitely a great source
@@chuckychuck I tried the milk crates but it seemed as though the washer was going to topple over.
Where do i put the filter for the washer at exactly? I just ordered one and can't wait to get it!! Want to be set up and ready when it arrives. Thanks for any info or ideas...
Yeah, no problem! So the filter part is in my video, it starts at 3:17.
Thank you for both videos !
I watched both and got the machine for Xmas lol. Also I just started using the dawn soap. Cool idea 💡 thank you !!
Thank you!! So glad you found it helpful! I love the dawn dish soap for my clothes!(:
Genius idea!! I use tide but im sure detergents cause more buildup of soap scum then dawn. Im gonna try this
Thank you!! Of course! (:
@@neoshazavala I have changed to using only dawn when washing clothes in my new portable. I LOVE IT!! My clothes smell so good and Idk if its the dawn or my washer but all clothes come out so much cleaner!! My sons previously stained white shorts came out cleaner. No bleach. Cold water and Dawn dish soap!! Its amazing!!!
Oh yay!! I’m so glad I could help!! I love it too, i can definitely tell a difference in my clothes when it comes to looking, smelling, and just coming out way cleaner since it helps fight grease stains and all! So it’s perfect(:
Thank you for all the information. I appreciate it. Maybe consider getting a shorter extension cord. Than you for helping my decision
Thank you so much! Glad I could help you as well
Did you find an easy way to clean the tube of the machine out? I am interested in how to do this since my machine just came in yesterday. Thanks!
I’m so sorry I was going through comments and saw I missed yours, sorry for the delay. But, yes I did I have this brush I found at harmons like over a year ago that I never ended up using but it looks like it would help a ton for cleaning the drainage tube/pipe. I’ll have to edit the brush in my video for y’all I’m currently editing giving this time for me to learn more. But I ended up filling the machine up a with enough water but not a lot if that makes sense, so almost half way full is basically enough to mix water to agitate pouring a little tiny bit of bleach and some white vinegar, and baking soda is what I mixed all together and I figured I’d let it drain out so it cleaned when it’s draining with all the fix and stuff it’s creating and it worked pretty darn well for me, it cleared out the pipe without me scrubbing it and cleaned itself while draining, I let it sit with hot water not to hot but warm warm. Then agitate all that for like 5-10 minutes let it drain and stop, drain and stop. That way it’s having enough time to make it through fizzing/cleaning while draining. And it took a few times but it eventually cleared out all the gunk out on it’s own. I I also soaked the water inlet after pouring straight baking sides and white vinegar in to then let it fizz and then put it hot water in the sink to sit and soak so when I rinsed it with hot water the yellow came out, because it did turn yellow over time with all the water collection and humidity I didn’t think at the time could collect.
I bought the costway 28lb one last yr I loved my little mini 9lb one I had I used for my sons cloth diapers n it had last 6yrs so when I seen the costway 28lb one on Walmart website I said I gotta get that I was so excited got it n within 4m the seam that holds the lid was no longer holding the lid down it technically still worked but I'd have to put bucket on it so it went to the trash area this totally ruined my drive for these types of machine's frfr 💯
Oh man sorry to hear about your experience. So helpful in using these for cloth diapers to for sure, that’s smart!
As mentioned in my disclaimers everyone can have many different types of experiences with the same machine. I luckily scored and got a good one that had no issues. It suck’s when you get a product and it comes broken,damaged, or misplaced but I always look at reviews before I get something. Then I question if I get a bad one of anything from the manufacturer if they build it funky, or the shipper damaged it on the way to me. Because others have great experiences, whats stopping mine? Lol my video on my portable dryer yeah I had to order that 3 different times because the machine came damaged from the ups package handler. So that was fun. But I never gave up, got the machine and it worked. All I can say is don’t lose hope from one bad experience because you may have just got unlucky but try again might score next time like I did with getting my panda tumble dryer for the 3rd time LOL.
What about draining does it have a pump or can you explain it please.
It’s somewhere in my video going over the drainage pump and what not
I've been gifted the same machine but without instructions. I'm having problems with the spin tub. It seems it doesn't want to drain. Any tips on fixing this?
I apologize for the delayed response. Honestly I haven’t experienced that. I wouldn’t know that answer. But I would recommend contacting the company directly to see if you can get an answer/or replacement. Because there might be that chance you got one that’s unfortunately not functioning the same as it should.
Do you have to use the inlet tube connected to the sink to fill or can you just fill it with buckets of water
It’s honestly up to you, what ever makes it easier for you in your situation/where ever you are. If it’s a faster option for you and easier than I don’t see why not. So yeah just do whatever works for you really(:
New subbie I just ordered mine thanks for all the information very helpful ❤️...
Thank you!! I'm happy to help(:
i also use mine in the shower...i wrap the extension cord over the shower curtain pole which keeps the cord elevated
That’s great, it’s good to find many ways to make things work, that’s for sure.
Thank you, just 2days ago I bought so you did well 👍 God bless you
Thank you!! So glad I could help 🙏🏽
yes! Truly you helped me alot. Bless you.
@@tsegazeabwoldu6413 Thank you, happy to hear I could help (:🙏🏽
You can get a cheap timer and set it to go off the time you set your washing to be completed. It will solve that very minor issue.
That’s what I was thinking to.I just got used to not doing it ya know. But yes this is definitely better for those that could use this to make life easier when timing things sometimes lol. Thank you for leaving this suggestion here as well, I appreciate that🙏🏽😊
Super review. Answered my questions....
Thank you!
Great thorough video, thanks!
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!(:
Thank you so much for your help the instructions suck. ❤
I appreciate it!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽❤️
just got mine and i love it! did you get the warranty? thinking about it.
Not sure what to do. thanks great tips! Cheers🌞💞
btw... i hang it all on my shower rod on hangers. i use clothes pins on hangers to hold stuff like towels or
pillow cases, socks, etc... we figure it out don't we? 💕
I don’t remember but I believe I did? It was $5.41 for a 5 year protection plan it says on the website. I honestly need to get back with you on that. I’ll contact the seller and see!(: Thank you so much!! Glad to help(: I agree! We definitely get it all figured out when and how we can(;
Now watching this second part to your first video...question ? After two years since making your videos, how is the machine holding up? Thanks in advance!
Still great from the first time I got it ☺️
@@neoshazavala Thank you for the update, good to hear it's still working out well! Have a pleasant day!
Quick follow-up: Can you wash queen sheets and full-sized bath towels? Or is it mostly for smaller items? (ie: do you still have to visit a coin-operated laundry occasionally?)
With this machine I've been able to wash tops 5 towels depending on how thick or thin the material is of the towels and blankets. I just have the light fuzzy blankets I can wash about 2-4 at once. So the towels of course being separate from the blankets, so (separate loads), So I've been able to wash those without a problem but it really based on your judgement once you get more comfortable and familiar with the machine just really all depends on the size and material and how much water weight you think it will be vs if the machine can take the pressure/weight or not. Hope that helps(:
I do king size sheets, just one at a time. Works great.
The one I had, had the drain pump, and it went 2 years before the drain pump started having problems.
What I paid for it compared to what it cost to go to the laundromat, it PAID FOR ITSELF 3 TIMES OVER. If it weren't the pump type (gravity drain like this one) it would have probably gone for another 2 years, BUT being in my 60's, the idea of lifting it into the tub wasn't ideal. It still WORKED, and even drained, but once the water was gone, it started making grinding noises.
Yes, I bought a NEW ONE, same brand (but a larger capacity), and gave the old one away to a young couple just starting out. Told them about the grind and suggested the guy bypass the pump.
The NEW one I got is the 26lb with pump version for UNDER $150 (Temu), and when it dies, I WILL be getting another one, because a simple HOUSE CALL for a repair on a regular machine is MORE than what these cost new!!
Can you put the hose into the bottom of the tub shroom, and lay in tub instead of the tub drain?
Sorry, I hope I’m understanding. But I can’t put the drainage hose from the machine into the bottom of the TubShroom. It helps me to filter since I’m not using the Nylon way since using this TubShroom. But whichever is easier for what works for everyone(: TubShroom filters great to though 😊
