COSTWAY Portable Washing Machine, Twin Tub 20 Lbs Capacity, Washer(12 Lbs) and Spinner(8 Lbs), Durable Design, Timer Control, Compact Laundry Washer for RV, Apartments and Dorms, Blue+White

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

This washing machines design may not be liked as it is not anything elegant or fancy looking. But man is the build quality on this thing magnificent. Even with it not having the industrial materials made to make other washing machines such as LG, and Samsung it held up. (We used this about every week or so) it is lightweight so the ease of moving it around the house was definitely a bonus. I had constructed a table and set up in the laundry room for it to drain into a container. We did not want to have to put it in the bathtub every time. Also I did not want any fuzzies from socks and clothes to clog our drains. The drains very fast so as soon as you switch it to drain be ready as water will come out fast. Once you spin dry it is amazing how little time it takes for your clothes to dry. Within an hour or so. It did leak a bit after use just be sure to let it sit on drain for 30min or so. It holds so much clothes I did a week’s worth of work clothes (heavy material) in one in a half washes. Overall this worked for us for what we needed. If you’re looking to just throw your clothes in a machine and put it on a 28min wash mode then throw in the dryer for another 20. This is not going to be your friend. We liked being able to save money as this is not running water the whole wash. We also like the process. Wash and hang dry. Good luck on your findings.

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