- Hello folks! I decided to make a video on how to use a, “Costway” Washing Machine as several people have asked me how they work. Mine was given to me used by a neighbor and I’m so thankful to have it. But since it was used it did not come with any instructions and when searching the internet I only found one video. I mainly had to figure it out on my own. So, I thought I’m sure others are wondering how easy or hard or just plain...how do they work? I hope you enjoyed this video and it helps you decide if one is right for you and your situation or not. If you found this helpful or just enjoyed the video, give it a, “Like” and just why not go ahead and, “Subscribe “ Sunny Daze with Dawn saying..no more, “Dirty laundry” hahahahaha🤪👍🏻💖
I'm so happy you did this video I saw the exact same video of the young lady that used it in her motorhome I'm sorry to say it wasn't very good your video is so much nicer I love your smile I love that you show every step. And you just have a very pleasant way about you thank you again and have a wonderful day
Hi Lisa, thank you so much for watching and commenting. When I was looking for help as to how to use mine, I did not find any thorough videos. So, that was the inspiration for mine, to show every step from start to finish. Thank you for the compliments too👍🏻😁. Are you thinking of getting a small washer?
Well, well, well....out of the few vids I watched, you are the only one to explain why the plastic insert goes on top of the clothes when spin drying. Thank you! Another tip I appreciate is saving your cold "rinse" water for your darks. The other tip I appreciate is leaving the water in the washing tub side so when dry spinning it weighs down the machine to help prevent it from wobbling and walking. I saw where some ppl used a rubber bath mat too. Good job Lady, you are a joy to watch👍
Wow, thank you RVing Mama👍🏻😜Im glad my tips helped. I know when I got this with no instructions and tried to find a video to show me what to do.and I only found one, I knew I had to help if I could. I’m so glad it was helpful for you. Yes, saving that water that is clean and a bit sudsy is so helpful for the next load! Good idea about the mat. Thanks for that tip! Thank you also for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Do you have a mini washer in your RV?
Hi Dawn- TY for your walk through. I have been thinking about getting one and this was very helpful! You have a wonderful personality! Keep up the great work!
Hi Shelley, I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for the compliment 😁. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a great day. I hope this helps you decide if you should purchase one👍🏻😜
I like your video. I want to get one of these washer and like that you were able to place it in the tub. I wasn’t sure I could lift it and was so glad to see that you did just that. Excellent video I’m sold will get one and save your video as a reference for use. Thank you 😊
I’m so glad you liked it and found it useful. I love having my own washer and not having to go to the laundromat. I hope you enjoy yours too.👍🏻😁
I love the pillow hack!!! Thank you! I was trying to think of a cover !
You’re welcome. I also do that with the throw pillows on my bed too👍🏻💕Thank you for watching and commenting 😁
Your video is the reason why I bought 2 of these machines one for myself and one for our daughter. Your video was super helpful and very informative. I did receive one that was damaged, but hope that can be resolved because they are powerful little machines. Thanks so much for your video, you are a super awesome person to watch, love your little giggle!!
Aww..thanks Annette. What kind words. Yes, I love these washers. I call mine my Barbie doll washer, Lol. It reminds me of, “Easy Bake” ovens when I was a kid..hahahahah. They are so convenient and work wonderfully. I hope you receive a good one and that your daughter enjoys hers too. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it👍🏻😁💖
Thank you so much for the video! You are a such a sweet lady.
You’re welcome. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it👍🏻😁
Holey Molly I bought the exact machine and I love it. Took it out of the box set it in the tub and was washing my first load in ten minutes. I also use a shower extinction hose. I caution on the smaller loads as to not over load the machine therefore I have less tangled items.i run my cord up over shower rod for safety. This machine does a great job.paid less than $200. And if it broke tomorrow I'd buy another one with out hesitation.
Yeah, I'm so glad you love yours too. As my neighbors gave it to me, mine was free! I do have my cord pulled over the side of the tub and it is on the ground outside of the tub. Yeah the shower extention hose is key!! Woohoo😜
Extension
@@BrayzenPaddles Hahaah…you’re right!, I made a spelling boo-boo. Good catch👍🏻🤪💥💥
thank you so much I appreciate you
Thank you for your kind words Sherry. I was hoping this video would be helpful to someone👍🏻😜
Love love love the pillow cover trick! TFS! Great video!-- Jan
Thanks. It's an easy and frugal way to change the color of your couch pillows. I'm all about being frugal. I'm glad you found it useful and thank you so much for watching!!
Soft is for delicate clothes but I see no difference in the agitation. It does go in one direction the least amount of time, but it is still the same as far as its strength. (Hope that makes sense.) To prevent clothes from twisting up, you can place them in a mesh laundry bag.
Lol..I should have guessed that. Thank you for your help!😁
I put my socks in mesh bags so they stay together!
Love it! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾🙂
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting. I’m glad my video helped👍🏻💕
I just orderd one like that on Amazon. I have regular washing machine and dryer, but I want to save on our electric bill. Thank you for showing how it works....nice to know if there is no manual on the one I get. Nice tip with the pillows....very lovely video...thank you..!
Aww..thanks for watching. I wanted to help others who needed to know how it worked👍🏻Yeah, the pillow trick, I love it too. No one knows their pillow cases🤷♀and you can change up the color weekly👍🏻😁Thank you so miuch for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it💖👍🏻
Love this and your smile ...thank you ...this was awesome and very helpful xxx
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful and thanks for the compliment 😁👍🏻
I love the hack ! Awesome 👏🏼
Thank you! And thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it😁👍🏻
There was interesting to see how that works very convenient
Yes, it is very convenient. I love it🥰👍🏻Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate it🥰
Loved your video. I use to have a washer of this type not sure what brand it was when I had my first baby and lived in a mobile home and did my baby diapers. Tells you how old I am as I used cloth diapers lol and I loved it. So I may get one of these instead of a real expensive washer their prices how gone up so much and I live in an apartment. Thanks for posting this you have a wonderful personality.
First off, you’re welcome🥰I felt others needed to know. (My public service announcement..hahaha).Laundry mats are expensive and doing laundry by hand was a chore. Although I was getting good upper arm exercise by wringing out my clothes. My upper arms were starting to look a bit like PopEye..lol.I so appreciate my neighbor giving me the washing machine. My daughter started off in cloth diapers too. Thank you so much for the compliment on my personality. I’m sure you have a lovely one too. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Now, back to gardening for me🤪👩🌾👩🌾👍🏻💖
You have such a cute place I love all your decorations
Wow..thank you. It is small but I tried to make it cute and inviting…on a budget🤪Thank you for watching and commenting l I appreciate it👍🏻💕
Thank you very much for this great video and I am going to go to buy the same washer dryer from Walmart . that will truly save me a lot of money at least $20 a month because in my building we have washers and dryers and they are horrible. They cost five dollars just to wash and dry and sometimes they don’t even work properly. It’s highway robbery so I’m going to buy one here in Canada at Walmart. It cost C$250 I believe is about US$200 . Thank you again.
You are very welcome. I'm glad my video helped you. I sure love not having to go to the laundry mat or do it by hand any more. Thank you so much fo r watching and commenting. 🥰
Good machine.❤
Yes, I love mine. It sure is convenient. Thank you for watching and commenting.👍🏻😁
You need to lay the hose in the tub during the spin. Otherwise, the spun water will not drain properly
Yes, you are correct👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it🥰
Yes great idea yes ❤❤❤❤
Thank you and thanks so much for watching 👍🏻😁
Thank you so much hun I was watching to see how much water you put I didn't put enough water in mine for this first load You're awesome and you have a great personality and I can tell you have a beautiful spirit
Aww…thank you Elizabeth. And thanks for watching and commenting. I just love these washing machines!! I’m happy you have one too👍🏻😜
I love watching your video!! Love your pillow hack!
Thank you Alisha. I’m glad you watched and enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know👍🏻😁
How large is your machine?? I do the same the water!!! lol. Mine broke. Working on #4 it’s a 22 pound. I wonder how much fits? I love irs getting agitated!!! If the other video is your grandkids they are so cute .
Hi Alisha, I think mine is around 20 lbs. I’m not sure as it was given to me used. But it does hold quite a bit. Yes, I have a lot of other videos with my grandkids . And thanks for the compliment of them. We sure have fun together 💕@@alisha516
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 I bet, I love my grandkids too ❤️ I just got my new one !! It really agitates better then the defective one. Bc it washed. Be careful on the spin dry my safety broke. I think it took 30 secs to stop at any point. Bc idk what makes it stop
I’m glad you got your new one!. Yeah that spinner spins very fast. I usually wait for it to stop on its own, but if I get impatient and lift the lid, it stops.@@alisha516
Merci pour cette vidéo 👍
You’re welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching👍🏻💥💥
Can I send you an email and show you a couple things I've done with this? Love it. Love it.
Sure.
Hi! Thank you for this video! I just got a secondhand one of these today. It won’t hold water in the tub and is leaking out of the bottom… any ideas why or how to fix?
Hi Ashley, thank you for watching. When my neighbor gave me mine I was all happy and excited to use it. I first used it in the kitchen and it leaked all over the floor! I found that the bottom part of the drain hose had a crack where it was underneath the washer. I taped up the crack with electrical tape and started using the washer in the bathtub just in case it still leaked. Perhaps it is your hose. I sure hope it is a simple fix. I hope this helps💖
Thank you for doing sheets
Lol…You’re welcome😊
Very good video. How do you know where the full spot is when you are filling? Is there a mark? I have a similar machine & can’t find any full/max mark. Thanks
Hi Roxanne and thank you for watching👍🏻. I haven’t seen a, “Fill line” so I just usually keep the water about 3in. from the top.
I love ii have it toooo...t
It sure is a game changer👍🏻💕
How cute you are 😊❤️
Lol…Why Thank You!😜
Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻💕
Have you tried attaching a garden hose to the inlet instead of the inlet hose it came with? Works for us and easier.
No, I haven’t but that’s a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion and thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
Would this be realistic to use outside the bathroom somehow? I share the washroom with 3 other people and it would be really annoying for them. It seems like the machine holds a lot of water though to fill up and empty. Maybe outside by the gardrn hose when its not raining?
As long as you have a power supply, water supply and a place to let the water drain out, you could use it anywhere. Of course, “Safety First”!
No no no no, you are not supposed to start another wash load while using the spin dryer at the same time, you can burn out the engine. You have to switch to drain when using the spin dryer, you are not supposed press down on the close in the spin dryer and you are putting to much in the spin dryer. You can't over load the washer, you also have to be careful with the cord, its too close to the ground. Bring the cord and extension up behind the unit and over your shower curtain rod this helps to keep water away from the cord, you don't want to get electrocuted. I hope I helped with some suggestions.
Thank you. These are all helpful suggestions. Like I said, this was given to me used. So, it did not have any instructions. I had to figure it out.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 when I bought my portable washer it came with some directions but I came across a lady on UA-cam named Paula Codo , she has alot of DIY projects and great decoration ideas for great prices. She made a video on the Costco portable washer and spin dryer and she went into detail, look her up on UA-cam.
@@robincampochiaro7741 I will. Thank you for the information👌
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 Twin tubs have two motors - one for the wash side and one for the spinner side. It's fine to run both motors at the same time. If it only had one motor, it would be impossible to wash and spin at the same time.
@@gmarc166 Thank you so much for commenting with this message. I so appreciate it👍🏻😜
My washer just arrived your video is so much better than the instructions. Thank you
lol…that’s funny. I’m glad I could be of help👍🏻 and congratulations on your new washer. May you have many good wash loads👍🏻😁😁💕
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 I washed clean for fun lol ! 😂
I didn’t get instructions on the first 3 washers they all were defective. My 4 just came Saturday n I am even more impressed. It washes just like all the videos. ( I think the 3rd. Was defective from the go) I just didn’t know. Till spin dry safety stopped working. Oh my goodness 30 secs for them a stop. N it spins hard!!! Well anyway I love it. Glad to wash now
I’m not, sure but I think when someone sends a defective one back, instead of it getting fixed, it gets sent out on a new order.@@alisha516
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 that’s horrible to do to ppl if so. But you know I caught Amazon taking me for a bit here n there of money.
What size sheets? Looking to get one of these machines, really tired of the laundromat but, thought I'd still have to do my sheets there. Great video!!!!😍
Queen size sheets.I can also do towels👍🏻😜 The only item I can’t wash in it is my comforter. I love my washing machine. I hated going to the laundry mat so I would even do my clothes by hand. Now that was a work out💪🏻 This machine is awesome😁💥💥👍🏻
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 I'm curious - how many towels can it approximately fit?
@@Polemark About four.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 Cool. Thanks
@@Polemark You’re welcome👍🏻😁😁
I have this washer.
I fill it up from a bucket that i fill up in the bathtub
Nice. I’m glad that works for you. These washers are awesome. They get the job done👍🏻
I would love to ask the Chinese why the spinner compartment is half the size. Then you probably have to use the spinner twice or more to finish all the clothes that were washed.
lol, yep, I usually have to split the wash load up to spin dry it. Maybe into thirds🤪
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 Bought an RCA RPW 210C fully automatic. An absolute, POS, and a customer support equally as terrible....terrible!
What do you do about the lint that comes out the drain hose? I also have pet hair. The best I had was a sock tied on till it needs trashing. lol Ty n ty for replying to me.
There is a small lint trap on the inside of the wash bin. I’ve never needed anything other than that. Since I use my machine inside the bathtub I guess you could put a knee high pantyhose on the end.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 thank you. I think the tube sock is a bit much lol on the drain hose.
Ya know this one works differently then the defective one. lol I know what I said. But the defective worked more similar to UA-cam
I use a knee high hose on the end of the drain hose. I just rinse it out after several uses. Does they even make knee hi’s anymore? Lol
@@ladonnaowens710 I went to our $1.25 n up now store n picked up tights oh works way better!!! I was allowed to keep the broken washer. I do the rags, pet, hair n now the stocking goes on my grass not drain lol
I recently bought one of these. My husband has a severe problem with detergents, softness and even vinegar. I have to was his t-shirts and underwear in plain water, not even baking soda. His skin itches so bad and burns. So I decided to try this. No chemicals of no kind will be used in this and only his whites. So far so good!
I just got one. I don't want to put it in the tub. It fits perfectly on the floor in my bathroom and I can run a garden hose from the bathroom sink into it to fill it. Will it drain if I have the drain hose over the side of the tub?
I would think the hose needs to be lower than the washer as gravity will help the water drain. If the hose has to go up and over the side of the tub, then down, this will stop the drawing process at some point..
Most of them have drain pumps. If yours does it would not have a problem with going over the side of the tub.
@@krishren3144 That is good to know!! Thank you so much, I appreciate your response. Very helpful👍🏻😁😁😁
Why do you have the hoses in both inlets if you fill it with the shower head?
I usually keep the hose inside of the washer when I am not using the washer. Since I am using the washer in the video, I needed to put the hose somewhere, so I just put it on the inlet openings👍🏻😜🤪
Hi dawn quick question what are you using to cover the shower window. Have same thing thank you
I found a shower curtain at Dollar Tree that says, “Fresh and Clean”. I cut it to fit the window. I bought a spring action curtain rod that fit in the window from Ace Hardware.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 Ty dawn. We have a window like u. Can with blinds. Yuck I bought a film so I can not see in, waste gets nasty on the trim part u cut to fit. So glad I got to see yours. !!! Right now had a dyi cover with Elmer’s glue n food dye. It sorta works. lol. Obviously looking for a better solution. I love the washer !!! I think the first was defective from day 1 idk 🤷♀️
The funny things we notice in videos🤪@@alisha516
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 ikr. I literally have watched as many videos here as I could I didn’t want to break or not use right.
But your video it fits my life. Meaning I live in an old home, old pipes etc. you said your place was. Makes u watch. N your place is sooooo clean!!! Do u have a tile hack too? Ty have a nice day
Hi Alisha. I’m glad you find my video helpful. Yes, my apartment is very old. It maybe from the forties or fifties. You know, the kind with a built in ironing board in the wall! lol, I have that in the kitchen. I think my tiles look so clean because I take baths and not showers…that’s my , “Tile hack”🤪🤣 Have you had a chance to watch any of my garden videos?@@alisha516
I believe the directions say not to run water while you are spinning a load
Thank you Annie. This machine was given to me used without the directions. So, I appreciate the time you took to inform me and anyone who reads the comments. Thank you so much and thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Do they completely dry up or still a bit damped? I’m curious and hope that you can help answer my question, thank you in advance.
Hello, the clothes still remain a little damp. They will need to hang dry. But the spinner works so well that it doesn’t take that much heat to dry them unless the material is thicker like towels or blue jeans. Thank you for watching👍🏻😁
During the winter. I will hang my clothes in the bathroom on laundry lines and put a small heater and fan in the room.
How to use the dry spinning side without a lint holder?
Well, I don’t know about that?🤪I know the wash side has a lint catcher.
What size washing machine how big
It is 13” wide and 15” deep. I’d say it does about 2/3 a load as a regular size washer.
She threw a lil shade on the morerhome lady at the front of the post, didn’t she?
How full do you fill it?
About 2 inches from the top.
If you can take the head off of that filler it would come out faster. Just a thought.
Hi Sheila, Yes, you’re right. I eventually did as sometimes the shower head would get clogged. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻😜
Does it leave a lot of lint?
No, it does have a little lint trap.
@@sunnydazewithdawn350 Good we're considering one of those.
@@steveshapiro326 They sure are convenient 👍🏻
Hi. Couldn't you just fill it from a pail of water; so much easier and faster?
d but it is bigger than you think. It would probably take four or five big buckets. Which could get messy. At least for me anyways😜. It doesn’t take that long to fill up.
Hello, sure you could use a bucket. The washing compartment is bigger than it looks from the outside. It would probably take four or five good sized buckets to fill it up. That could get messy, and tiring. For me anyways😜 Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it👍🏻💕
Well I tried that, but you had to hold the bucket to fill it. The spout doesn’t come out far enough to just set the bucket down.
How many years have you used this washing machine?
It was given to me used and I have used it for about 3 years.
Actually, maybe 4 years
nice...
greeting from Indonesia... 🇮🇩
@@buditron3681 Greetings to you too. Thank you for watching and commenting😁
@@sunnydazewithdawn350how often do you use it per week? Thank you for the video. Have a beautiful evening!
What size 17 lb or 26 lb
Mine, I believe is the 17.6 lb model.
So you sit it in the tub?
Yes, I do. You don’t have to but for me that seems to be the easiest way. The shower hose will reach the wash tub and it can drain right in the tub👍🏻😜
It comes with a clamp but they must have lost it when they gave it to u
What has a clamp?
Do you know how many pounds each side can handle?
I'm not sure of the pounds. The washer side will take quite a bit of clothing but I try not to fill it up all the way as it will agitate better when it is not quite so full. I know I have filled up the spinner to the top with soaked clothes and it will do a fantastic spin job! I'd say for a man perhaps four or five pairs of jeans.
In the washer side I mean. The spinner usually takes one third to one half of the wash load at a time.
She's not conserving water she let it run over into the drain for ten minutes because she forgot.......
Oh stop that was an accident.
Mine fills in about 4 minutes and I use a timer if I’m not staying in there.
Yes, I did end up getting a timer. iThe water had only started running over when I heard it running over🤪
