SUPER DEAL Compact Mini Twin Tub Washing Machine 13lbs Capacity Portable Washer Wash and Spin Cycle Combo, Built-in Gravity Drain for Camping, Apartments, Dorms, College, RV’s and Small Spaces

I've only had it two days but it's great so far! I've gotten a week and a half worth of laundry for two people done in 2 days. It's very quiet, and washes the clothes good. It's definitely a lot more hands on than a regular washer but if you can't afford a full size washer or have one where you live it's worth buying. It was a little difficult finding a good setup for the drain hose and the water inlet hose doesn't fit any of my faucets but I just set it up on a small table next to my bathtub and fill it up with a bucket or the shower head. The spinner works great! It gets most of the water out, but I noticed after doing a lot of laundry the area where the motor is started getting really hot and there was a strong plastic smell, but it's still working good. It's also a little messy moving the wet clothes over to the spinner side so make sure you have a towel ready on the floor, or just be careful. Don't use this in a carpeted area. I saw some reviews from people saying they had it for a while and it stopped working, so we'll see! I think it's definitely worth buying though and I'm very happy to have it. Oh it also takes a lot of water but you can save water if you have multiple loads by washing the first load, then taking the clothes out and setting them aside in a bin or your tub, then washing the next load in the same water, then doing the same when you rinse. This probably wouldn't work if your clothes are really dirty but it's been working for me.UPDATE: i've been using this washer semi regularly for more than two years now. Still running good. I do still have to go to the laundry mat but this makes it so I have to go less often. I will say. After having this for two years it is the bane of my existence I hate dragging it out of the closet into my bathroom I hate having to lug buckets of water over to it I hate having to reach my hand into the water to pull out sopping wet clothes and drag them over to the draining tub I hate that it takes me 5 hours to do the amount of laundry that it would take me 5 total minutes of labor to do in a regular washer and dryer. But it's still better than going to the laundry mat. Also one time it almost burnt my house down, I do live in an old house with old wiring and haven't had any problems with it since my landlord replaced the wiring after it almost burnt my house down. But still, maybe be cautious about how long you run it for. If you are thinking about buying a portable washing machine I would just spend the extra money and get a single tub machine that is larger like I am thinking about buying now because doing laundry with this machine takes all day and I hate it. But it's still better than going to the laundry mat I think maybe I just have stockholm syndrome.

I got my little washing machine this afternoon, popped it into the RV shower, let the tub fill to above my clothes, put some detergent and 12 mins later i had clean clothes. The spinner is Insane! So having hand washed for a while, I don't fill it up for a rinse cycle. I just use Very Little detergent, you honestly do not need more than a big spoon full. Then once done, I take it to the sink under a bit of running water I just wet & press it a few times, soap all out, pop into the spinner and voilla.I had a hoodie, sweat pants, two shirts, and few undies in there. It spun like a vortex, everything Clean in 15 mins, and I hang dry, because honestly, it's So Dry after that spinner. It's like a swimsuit spinner at the gym. Very effective. And once I was done, into a cupboard the machine went. Simple. Out of the way, just wonderful!So for $110 total as opposed to the $5/wash + $5/dry -- that is 3 loads a week, so $30/week - this machine will have paid for itself in a single month. Plus, No more schlepping my clothes out to the laundro mat and sitting there for 1 hour cycles. It really is excessive waste of time, and does not get clothes any cleaner.Edit to add: Washed a queen sized duvet cover + 2 pillow covers. The duvet cover went sopping wet into the spinner, and in far less than a minute was practically dry. I am really impressed with this washer. NOTE: I chose the model with gravity drain because i need as few as possible potential failure points and as many as possible laundry cycles. This thing is absolutely perfect for RV living.

My husband and I bought this washing machine after discovering that our new home (in an apartment building) didn't have a convenient laundry room, after all.That left my husband and me with two choices: Trek to the laundromat weekly, giving up time we'd rather use for fun activities, or find a way to wash our most frequently used clothes at home.After reading LOTS of reviews, we decided to try this washing machine, and I'm SO glad we did!The first thing to know is: You'll learn a LOT by reading others' reviews of this washer. I recommend filtering the reviews by looking for reviews featuring the word "lint." They tend to include the most information.Then, here are my best tips and insights to get the most from this wonderful washer...For us, it makes the most sense to use this washing machine in our bathroom. We've put ours on an old coffee table, so the washer is at a comfortable height and near the tub/shower combo, and we don't have to move it in & out of the tub, or anything like that.However, the spin/dry cycle can be noisy sometimes, so we've put anti-vibration pads under the legs of the washer AND under the legs of the coffee table. (Recommended: MyLifeUNIT Shock Absorbing Washer Pads, Anti-Vibration Washer Mat Protector for Washing Machine Dryer Treadmill )Also, I was not impressed with the hose intended to fill the washer through one of the water inlets. So, I inserted that hose into the larger hose (used to drain the water into a sink or - in our case - into the tub), and hot glued a ring around the outside of the hose where the two join. That added length makes draining the water super-easy.(In nearly two months of steady use, I've only had to reinforce that connection once, and only in a tiny spot.)In addition, we put a nylon sock - intended to hold a bar of soap in the shower - over the end of the drainage hose combo, so our tub's drain doesn't get clogged with lint. Initially, there was a LOT of lint coming off our socks and knit clothing.For most loads, I fill the washing machine tub about half full. That seems to work best to get everyday dirt out of fabrics.Then, I add water to the washer with our hand-held shower head, noting that the water shouldn't be super hot in this washing machine. (Note: There is a drain near the top of it, so the water won't accidentally overflow.)I turn the washing machine on, and - as the clothes are moving back and forth - add laundry detergent. Use less than you expect to need. A little goes a very long way.(Biggest surprise: Seeing how much dirt came out of our clothes during the first couple of washings. Apparently, the washing machine in our old apartment was NOT doing a very good job. I LOVE how clean our clothes are, now.)Like another reviewer suggested, I sometimes wash the clothes for the longest time (15 minutes), let the clothes sit (in the same water) for about 20 minutes, and then run it - in the same water - through another wash cycle. If the clothes are extra-dirty, that extra wash cycle really helps.Then, I remove the clothes, wringing them out, lightly, and place them in the spin dryer. (And, of course, drain the water from the washing tub.)Tip: Fill the spin dryer halfway, at the most, and try to balance the weight of the items evenly. Jam the white plastic grid down firmly, and then turn the spin cycle on for just a few seconds.- If the spin cycle makes terrible clunking noises, stop the spin cycle immediately. Readjust the clothes (or remove a couple of heavy items) and try again.- If it makes just a few rocking noises, wait and see if it balances itself. If not, readjust the clothes and try again.Once you're sure the load is well-balanced, dial the spin cycle to 1, 2, or 3. More than that doesn't seem to make much difference. Generally, I'm happy with 1 for this part of the process. (Note: Each dial can be reset to a longer time, but if you change your mind and want to dial it down to a shorter time... that doesn't seem to work. So, start with a cycle that's shorter than you think you may need.)Then the clothes go back into the washer for a rinse cycle, followed by another spin-dry cycle before we hang the clothes on a drying rack. (For this spin cycle, I often dial it up to 3 minutes, to get the clothes as dry as possible.)We've been using this washer three or four times a week, for about two months. I'll admit that this is time-consuming, and a little annoying to shuffle the clothes back and forth between the washing side of the machine and the spin dryer.But compared with having to buy more clothes or spend hours more at a laundromat... I'm delighted to use this washer.It's holding up well. Everything is still working like new. Our clothes seem to be cleaner than ever.The only disappointment has been trying to wash heavy clothes like denim jeans, etc. Though the washing machine seems to get them clean, the spin dryer balks at a super-heavy load like that. And I don't have the patience to keep readjusting the load to keep the machine from rocking.Other reviewers say they're washing jeans in this machine, but for me, it makes the most sense to save the heaviest clothes for a single trip to the laundromat every few weeks.If you're looking for a small, affordable washing machine for your apartment or RV, this is the machine to get. I give it a full five stars for providing excellent value and convenience. And, as I said earlier, our clothes have never been cleaner.
