    Nice video on keeping clean on the road. 😊 The only part I don’t like is wringing out the clothes by hand 🤚 I’m unable to do that 😮😅 Thanks for the info Lisa 😊

      I understand. That is why I state it is a manual wash. if you cannot, this may not be your washing machine. I agree...keeping clean on the road is essential to your health. Thanks for the comment Lori.

    Excellent video. I bought this washer 7 months ago to have for this summers 1 month camping trip. I’m camping and needed a refresher in how to use since I only tried it 1x when I got it to be sure it worked. Your video was a perfect walk-through! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

      Oh wow! The medium size ones I didn't like as it didn't really hold more than my Scrubba Wash Bag. I got more done with the wash bag and used less water. But, if it works for you...fantastic!

    @OutdoorDashTravels - LISA - Thx for the demo! I really like mine. Does a great job for what it is. I can put 2-3 T-shirts, shorts, uddies, and 2-4 wash clothes. Then hang dry or laundromat dry.

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  10 місяців тому +2

      It’s an awesome machine for what it is! I use it mainly for the spin dryer but have the option for the wash too! Sometimes you can catch this on sale and cheaper than just the spin dryer!!!

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  5 місяців тому +1

      I agree but takes a ton of water. So I make sure to do at least two loads per 2.5 gallons.

    somehow i missed the name of this washer machine ...I have the Niagara Washer it does a big load of clothes and i love that fact, but it doesn't spin=wring water off clothes and a the ninja spin spin dryer from the Laundry alternative .... i love both but hate having to take wet clothes is a hassle for me

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  7 місяців тому +1

      If you are looking to do large loads, this would not be the machine for you. It only handles a small load. I mainly use it for the spin dryer. It’s spins like the ninja. It’s called “The Drop” from Laundry Alternative.

  • @jeanlucdrion1152

    I think it would be better to put detergent in first at the bottom , then add dry clothes to the maximum line, add water till you reach the maximum line and then press start.

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  9 місяців тому +2

      Agreed. But in the end…it all gets mixed up pretty well as long as you give “room” for the clothes to agitate. ☺️

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  Місяць тому +1

      Spin cycle dries clothes where it is almost dry to start. You can see when I take them out of the spin cycle.

    Are you able to wash x-large blue jeans in the Drop? I've watched what few videos about this unit but haven't seen them wash jeans.

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  6 місяців тому +1

      No. This is not for these. The fabric is too heavy for the washer to move around. I would suggest a dual, washer/spin dryer.

    • @maineapple52
      @maineapple52 6 місяців тому

      Thank you for your quick response. I have tried a few of those machines and they are unreliable. Unless it comes from the Laundry Alternative, I won't buy one.. Looks like the Poseidon will be my alternative. God bless!@@OutdoorDashTravels

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  9 місяців тому +2

      It says it will hold up to a queen size so I would think…yes. But that would be the only load.

      The Nija is great but believe it or not, the Drop was cheaper so I got it as a “backup” for when I’m pressed for time. I can set for 10 min, cook something and then come back to it.

    Can this be used in bathtub?

    • @OutdoorDashTravels
      @OutdoorDashTravels  5 місяців тому

      If you use the tub, I would only use it to drain as the motor is located in the bottom of the machine. This should not get water in it. Maybe put it on a stool in the tub and drain it down the drain. When washing/spinning, have it in the tub alone so it doesn’t fall off.
