I have no idea why I'm watching this video. I've had my own machine for about 2 years now. I love it! Yet, I keep watching everyone do laundry in their own machines. Great video!

😂
you not the only one sis 🤣🤣 but i think maybe this small washing machine is so so affordable..and it makes our lives better.. because i remember my washing machine break down.. going to laundromat is hella troublesome..
@@sitifarida3310 yes! When my machine needed repair, I was so happy I had my small machine!
Think you are one of the only people I have watched that actually know how to use one of these machines the correct way! I have a small one of these I use in our camper, they are great machines and I find my whites/lights look better after being washed in my portable washer than in my main washing machine. Great video.
Thank you for this very well explained demo. I'm in Kenya and shopping for a twin tub, and wanted to be fully prepared on usage before purchasing one. You have explained the spin cycle better than any one else. Great video!!
Me too.

Hi mercy,did buy the washing machine

If you don't rinse out all of the soap properly, when the towels/clothes dry, they will be stiff. Also, excess soap allows for more dirt to attach to the towl/clothes as you use/wear them. This is an awesome machine and I thank you so much for going into such wonderful detail!!!!
I am receiving delivery of my first twin tub washer in a few days off eBay so i thought i would go on you tube to see if there were any postings on it's use. Well yours was first up and after flipping through all the others yours was by far the very best and most professionally demonstrated flawless presentation and very well narrated with no umming or arring ..i think maybe you have done a bit of public speaking or similar you are a very articulate human being and thanks so much for your posting.
No, I have never been a public speaker and the thought of it fills me with dread. I have been making RUclips videos for some years though, so I guess I am comfortable talking into a microphone. Glad you found the video useful.
Whats your review on it? after 3 years?
Wow I am impressed!! Single one bedroom apartment and paying over 4 to do one load at the local mat. I NEED THIS!!! amazing review thank you!!!
+brittney b This sort of machine is ideal for people with no space for a full sized washer. I don't think you'll be able to get this exact model in the States, but there are many similar ones available.
I've got one,and had it for a long time now. It's a brilliant little machine. I got it originally to use temporary when my automatic broke. Found it was more efficient so never replaced the automatic. Ideal for a single person, and a good price as well. I have modified mine though,and made it even better. I replaced the flimsy filling hose with a strong one that are on the old twin tubs. I also replaced the spinner mat for a better one,again one like they had on the old twin tubs. I've also lengthened the other hose that empties so that it will reach up to the sink,and around the taps,and it empties down the kitchen sink.
My mum is so grateful for this video right now so thanks!
After 8years... This video is so so detailed. Thanks a lot bro
Thank you for the great Demo! I just received my twin tub washer, spin dryer last night. It's a Della and everything is set up the same as your Good Idea twin washer/dryer. It has a 19 pound washer load capacity and a 7.7 pound capacity for spin drying. With a built in pump. Did my 1st load this morning, fantastic little/ (big) machine. Have a great day!!!
Katherine Foster
wow I bought the Della to the eight pound capacity 1 and it has the pump and it works fantastic
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this review. I rent and the automatic machine broke down but didn't want to buy a new one as I'll be moving soon and I'll probably have one in the new flat but can still use this one to wash all the cat's blankets/beds/cleaning cloths etc. I looked a lot, but most reviews are about machines not available in the UK, so finally decided to get one thanks to you. I'll keep you posted once I have it!
Your explanation of how to use this type of machine has been the best one ever. Thank you for taking the time to share the knowledge you have about it with us. Can't wait to get the American brand. Thanks again for demonstrating it for us.
I had a Speed Queen twin tub from about 1976-1980. I loved it, cuz I had 3 little ones at home and no space for a full size washer/dryer. I didn't see it as a hassle to transfer the clothes from one tub to the other. It was a blessing to have it. It sure saved me from toting laundry and kiddos to the laundromat or using a scrub board in the bath tub. The later was something I'd been doing too often. I'd run the water into the spin tub to rinse some. Then drain the wash tub, fill it up and run the load back thru for a second rinse. Then use the rinse water for the next load to wash. The drain hose was connected with the water hook up. I can't explain how speed queen designed it, but the set up kept the drain line secured all the time.
Sassy Frassy how much is this machine
N
Thank God someone knows what is what with these machines.
GOOD FOR YOU
BRAVO
I am so very grateful for this video. I recently bought from an online store, an Akai WM012A-38TT 3.8 kg model, with no user instructions or user manual for me to use, After watching this video I am good to go, once again I just thank you for providing the knowledge.
Glad to be of help.
I have watched many video on these washers. You are so Thorough, thank you! No one ever explained why the water inlet was on the spinner side. I'm looking to buy one soon. It'll be so nice not having to go to the laundry matt anymore. Great Job, Great Video!
THANK YOU! Someone who actually uses the Water Inlet on the Spinner to demonstrate a Rinse Cycle, i have watched maybe 15 or 20 Videos and none of them even mention it!
lol ... i watched like 20 of this videos now with small washing mashines .. and you are the first person who rinse the clothes
I never have a shower without rinsing off the suds, so why wouldn't anyone rinse their clothes after washing them.
So profoundly explained..it's a blessing for me and others. Thank you very much❤
My mom got me a very similar washer just a little bit bigger than this one in 2008 when I was in college and believe it or not I do still use this washer until now I am completely comfortable with it , the key is not to let your laundry build up because if you did the laundromat well seam like haven one hour bye week is all what takes to do your laundry and it is very economical to run to
Alex 😊😊😊😊zjcrj🩲🩲🎒📦🩸🩸🩸
I just bought one of these. As you mentioned, the Instruction manual is pretty Useless! Without this Video - I would be lost. Thank you so much! I love this video! :)
Thank you so much. With no manual and no knowledge of this type of compact washer you truly helped me. I bought mine used. The drain hose has a crack and the other hose is missing.
I just ordered mine and I'm excited to receive it. I've been hand washing all my clothes for the past month. It's not bad but I don't like the wringing out part. This will make life so much easier!
Love this. I would rather go through this process than go to a laundromat!
Glad to see your branching out!! Although I'm always disappointed we will never have the glory days of service Hoover and hotpoint!!
Thank you very much for this video. Very helpfull. I live in Venezuela and after seeing this video I took the decision of buying one which is very similar and it works wonderfull. Your explanation is very clear. Thanks again.
+Cesar Gallo Glad it was helpful.
You are a life saver ! The instructions of the new version of this twin-tub washing machine is rubbish !! Thanks so much !
GREAT review and demo, you answered All my questions and gave me extra hints as well. Thank you for taking me time and effort to complete this video.
Thank you so much for this video! The manual that comes with the washing machine left me more confused than i was before starting to read it. Great video, pleasant voice to listen to and very informative! Cheers
+Aviendha AlThor Glad it was useful. I agree the manual is very poor which is why I made the video to help other owners.
Very economical in water, electricity and detergent, I should have got one years ago, is what we need if you’re solo and have a small space. Great little machine, thanks for this amazing tutorial .
Thanks for the detailed video, im a stickler for clarity. Also like that you are anti-cruelty (I am also). I don't have a home washer and I hate public laundries, due to the germs and inconsistent results of doing washing there. This machine has made life so much easier. i use it for everything: clothes, bedding, towels, etc.
You don't have problems with large or heavy blankets? I've avoided doing larger items in my machine because I don't want to break it
@@CreepyMcSteezerson it can break, you're right. I think you should always try to keep water on the wash side while you dry and wash heavy stuff one at a time in the wash side. Really fluffly large blankets I would think would not work. Other than that, I've washed winter coats in it, lots of sweaters, shirts, jeans. You just have to be active and go through 3 minute wash and rinse cycles, so that you can clean everything in a timely manner.
We still use this kind of washing machine here in the Philippines because it’s cheap. Ours is bigger than in this video and it works really well.
Lee Delos Santos it's really common in SE-Asia. However I hate to manually change the clothes between tubs. So I currently use automatic one.
DangerWrap My sister visit her husband family friend in China. They use these type of washing machine too.
This kind of washing machine arguably gives some washing autonomy. There is no fancy weight sensors or cycles like the automatic ones. Users can decide how much water they need and how long the washing cycles last. Fantastic for laundry geek.
nice video, i just bought one from amazone and got it today. i am washing my clothes during watching your video. it helps a lot. ty very much.
朱吟 Glad you found it useful. Check my channel for a newer demonstration of this washing machine.
I got the same kind of machine and I haven't tried yet!! Your video is very helpful! Thanks!!
Thankyou.. My mini washer is being delivered friday.. I cant wait and thanks to you i feel so prepared now.. Ty.❤
This is the best one I've seen so far !!!!!
that is one of the best reviews I've heard have a product on RUclips. thank you for taking the time to do such an informative video. all the brands seem to use that same cheap hose
it seems like that would wear out rather quickly
The hose lasted longer than the spinner that failed after 7 months.
ibaisaic I've been watching RUclips reviews on it. that's one of the major complaints either it stops spinning or it leaks.
I think I'm going to pass on it
Thank you so much for the demonstration. The instructions it comes with are so vague. Now I understand the proper way of using it!
Handles up to 3.5kg (7½lb) of washing
Fully adjustable timing operation
no plumbing need
Lightweight & portable
Complete with hose attachments & spin accessories
Spin speed 1350P/M
Measures 64 x 36.5 x 69cm (25½ x 14½ x 27½)
ibaisaic How durable has the machine proven to be?
Mosbyraid2000 I have been using it at least once a week since I got it in August 2014 and it is still going strong. The fill and drain hoses are quite poor quality, but if looked after, they should be fine.
Thank you!
ibaisaic you have just made my mums day.shes 81.thanks mate.mike and lucy.
It could be filled with a bucket from a river and emptied onto the ground.
This was the best video showing how to use these portable washer/spinner machines. Ty! 😊
Nice video. So relaxing to watch clear instructions instead of reading :)
Sushi Nemo Thank you. Search my channel and you'll find a slightly shorter video of this machine washing a load of shirts.
your review was very helpful. like you, my full-size washer has failed and needs replacing. the twin tub portable could be a good choice as a stop-gap measure, and as a future backup machine. thanks.
I really enjoyed your demo. You did a great job. Thanks.
John Lucia Thank you. I have just made another video of this washer, but it 's a bit shorter than this one.
Vhfhghgghggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Amazing you are the best explain. My mum bought similarly this. We are new to this. My mum used old fashioned washing machine for some 50 years...but broken for good...so we bought new one like this we do not like automatically washing machine 😬
I got one of these today it's so fun to use. I don't have any of those soaps here I Canada, but thanks I just realised there was a part for water in the spinner.
Excellent, really enjoyed this video as I 'm looking for a way to wash clothes onboard. Particularly like your clear presentation and detailed experience of using the machine. Have you found an alternative hose to fit the machine?
Thank you very much. You Covered way more than i ever thought.
It is a professional video !!!
Great review !
I watched both videos and both were excellent! I can't this exact band, but I see that Amazon has several that look exactly like it.
I don't have this brand but if you live in the US in an apartment this lil guy will save you tons of time and money. The spinner dries clothes better than a full size machine so all my clothes dry overnight on a regular day. Only bad thing is that towels can be a little crunchy but I just shake them and squeeze them into a ball to bend the fibers
thank you for your demonstration I just got one and there wasn't any instructions thanks again very helpful
Wish I had known about this machine about 10 years ago. Did they exist then? I had to do the bins, wash plunger, and strainer. Had a good routine but would have switched to this machine in a heart beat.
I'm in the states, what do you mean by non-bio detergent.
I had one of the HE machines with the plate at the bottom. It was full size machine.
It used very little water. I honestly think in most cases I could have done a better job hand washing things. I was never so glad when that thing quit working.
I have to say that machine does what a machine is suppose to do, pull the water and detergent through the clothes with sufficient water to do so. I was impressed when it got the really dirty tea towel clean. (we call those dish towels in the states).
I wonder why they just don't make the machine as one tub, the concept already exists.
Good video
Ken Dire We have biological and non biological detergents in the UK. People with sensitive skin can have a bad reaction to clothes washed with bio detergents that contain enzymes to digest stains and dirt, so non bio detergents don't have the enzymes in them.
I believe you can get a single tub washer like this, but they are not as widely available.
omg didn't even know something like this existed?? where was this when I was a student in rented accommodation?
I like the pretty pink color with the blue lids. It agitates and spins well. If only it had sturdier hoses and brackets to hold cord. Have watched lots of these portable washer videos, and like your machine. Portable washers are convenient and less costly to use. Thank you for your video.☺️👏👋
Those washers are great we in Caribbean use them very well u can change the drain hose at Ace I have a washer for 5yrs love it thanks
IT'S THE BEST WASHER IV'E EVER SEEN....
FAST WASHING....
SO LIGHT TO MOVE... IN THE HOUSE.. AND YOU CAN OPEN IT EACH TIME YOU WANT TO RUB CLOTHES A BIT TO MAKE IT PERFECT..... AND CLOSE IT AGAIN.... TO FINISH THE WORK....
The tea towels are obviously quite clean, no stains, but isn't at least part of that due to the power of the detergent used?
Excellent review, by the way - very thorough.
I did stain one of the tea towels, but yes, stain removal has a lot to do with the detergent.
80 in UK money is 97.60 in US dollars. This video was made in 15, so add about another (more or less) 25 bucks for inflation purposes. Not a bad machine for 120.00
Roger when it's spinning in the spin dryer u can rinse it if u put the water pump in the insert hole on ur right .just some advice
If I had a baby, this would be perfect for separately washing fabric nappies.
Excellent presentation! I absolutely love your accent!!!
i have been a fan of twin tub washers since i was a kid because i watched videos about them
Outstanding review. It answered a lot of questions I had. Thanks so much.
Great little video and the presenter is very informative and quite funny too. Brilliant 😁
A very good instructional video. Very comprehensive.
great video and very informative. my concern is that all the steps make each load quite tedious ?
Far less tedious than washing by hand though.
Less tedious, then buy an automatic, top loading/front loading washing machine with all of the many electronic options. This will definitely make life extremely easy, and will cost a lot more money. In the US an automatic top loading/front loading washing machine will cost you anywhere from $450-$899+. Guarantee you, for that money it will not be flimsy and folks will feel so much better. When you spend $80-$139 what can we really expect? As long as my clothes are clean, in the final analysis I'm happy, even if it means I may have to add an additional step or two in the process. We ladies spend more time than that at the beauty shop getting our hair, nails & pedicures taken care of.
thank you for this detailed video was a great help im trying to get away from going and doing so much at my apartment laundry mat im spending like 30 every three to 4 days
Way too much work in my opinion, but this looks so convenient for camp spots that have electricity. Thanks for the video! Great demo!
Excellent demonstration and review! Many thanks!
Thanks for that demo. I can now buy one of these with confidence.
+Steve Chriscole There is a newer version out now with mainly cosmetic differences. Sorry to say the spinner failed on mine before the guarantee ran out, but I got a full refund from the retailer.
Thanks. I ordered it today. Nothing lasts forever!
+Steve Chriscole That's true but I was hoping for more than seven months use.
these were common back in the 60's and 70's but wow, what a whole lot of work and waste of time, glad they bought in your everyday washer.
Much quicker than an automatic and better at washing. Twin Tubs are very popular again.
akuapiatas dltor
my mum had one ihad one, happy memorys, these twin tubes get clothes relly clean and spine them all most dry, i have a atom washer, but im going to get a spinner to, alot less on the elec bills.
I like how you didn't put fabric softener on the tea towels... Makes sense cause say someone needed to pat the side of their mouth from a little spill you wouldn't want that strong smell hitting you in the nose 😅. Your video was truly helpful now I don't have to worry about destroying my in law's machine 😧. And yes to hand dry is a kill especially when its large items like towels and blankets
Dude.. I am SO buying one of these
If the drain hose is so flimsy, what happens if it breaks ? The water will go everywhere unless the hose is replaced, this may not be easy for many.
Other similar YT videos never spin the washed clothes before the rinse. But this method makes more sense, I must admit I would never have thought of doing it that way. But it sounds far better as long as the spinner works well
This was great! You gave me all the ino I needed.
ADeara Bianchi Glad it was useful.
Hi Rodger!.. Great review!... We would have had the hoovermatic , and the hotpoint and also the servis supertwin 108... And they were great machines as we were growing up.. Both the hotpoint and hoovermatic had the autorinse feature which were superb... I would like to punches one of these machines, you reviewed,Where would one get one?.. And also how much do they cost?.. I love your channel and follow it regularly ... Sean.....
I already seen a twin tub before
I used to use one like this back in the 80's We still have these in the States.
Very good info. Does anyone know how long this unit will last before breaking down?
never thought I would see James May reviews a washing tub
You must watch Richard Hammond demonstrating the Tefal Actifty and the video of Clarkson dong the shake n vac is priceless.
Doing, dong means something completely different.
LOL
Similar voice you mean 😉
Well done. And a nice accent, easy to ears. Thanks.
A very thorough video... I got a very similar product so this is very helpful! Thanks
That machine makes great gravy😂. I'm getting mine next week
Good Video, its nice when people know how to make them, and know what they're doing with the product. you did make me laugh a bit with the "bygone" days, I've still got my Hoovermatic Twintub alive and well. If it passes away, I would consider one of these as a replacement for it.
***** If your Hoovermatic dies, I would try to bring it back to life because this Good Ideas twin tub will seem like a toy compared to it. I've only had this seven months and the spinner has stopped working.
Oh that's a shame! Do you know if the Thompson Twin Tub is any good?
***** I haven't used one but they seem better built than the Good Ideas model. I believe they make full sized twin tubs and some have a five year guarantee if I remember correctly.
We had Hoover wash and spin in the early 1980s , Newfoundland Canada. It worked ok, but was labour intensive with amount of laundry. Remember do not use to much washing powder or liquid. If you use to much suds it you will have a hard time getting rid of the suds.
That's it, I'm buying one! No more walking up and down the stairs to the laundromat :) (Could this possibly be the one product everybody loves?)
I'm going to wash and rinch in the same tub then move things to the spinner. Do you have to rinch in the spinner?
You are the only one who showed that you can wash and rinch in the same tub at different times of course. ..... TKS I'm buying one now. Oh and you showed that one can put a lot into each load. Tks
You don't have to rinse in the spinner. You can empty the wash tub after washing and add fresh water. I would spin the clothes after washing to extract the soapy water before the first rinse.
Thank you for being thorough, the drain hose works when it is in a lower position
Your model probably doesn’t have a pump. The one in the video does, so the drain hose doesn’t have to be lower for the water to drain.
@@ibaisaic maybe it does, but where is the pump?
Thank you for the demonstration it really help, I'm waiting for my compact washer/dryer.👍🤙❣
The industrial design is pretty, translucent plastics and all. It's like the G3 iMac and iBooks.
It's a shame the Hoover twin tub isn't made any longer. That was a good machine.
Excellent demonstration video!
Hello there Roger. Did you add on the rubber bit at the end of the fill hose to fit the tap and did you put on an extender to the drain hose so that it can hook over a sink or bucket. My hoses just arrived with the machine do not have these and will not fit on my tap and drain hose does not look like the one demonstrated by you; it is just straight and not the same length. Thank you. Maggie
Great alternative product video Roger!
Thank you for your video!!I think I saw on one of the other videos that your not suppose to use hot water!😊
You can use hot water, but not so hot you can’t put your hand in it.
Wish we had the leaping bunny symbol in the US. I've never heard of it before. Anyway to check that status online?
www.leapingbunny.org/guide/brands
Thanks
It washes well and is a pretty machine. I think I'll buy one. Sold!☺️
Professional and well done video. Very informative. Thank you.
We have an automatic but I loved playing around with mine that I had
