Panda B45 Portable Washing Machine Demo!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- This Panda washing machine has a capacity of 10lbs. It's about three pounds more than the Panda B36. I can't hook up a standard washing machine here and am tired of the trips to the laundromat especially in bad weather. I already do some of my laundry at home, but can never wring the bigger items well enough. This washer has a separate compartment for spinning the excess water out of your clothes. Take a look at the video and see how well it works. Maybe this will work for YOUR small living area. Thanks for watching!!
UPDATE 9/15/18
I believe they stopped making this machine. That's really too bad as I loved it. When I broke mine by not storing it properly over the winter (left water in it in the barn-water froze and wrecked the pump) I purchased this one instead. amzn.to/2xlgWJ1
I did a review of this "new" washer and you can view it here by clicking the link • Portable Washing Machi...

Do they still sell these
Unfortunately, I don't think they are being made anymore. When I broke mine, this is the one I replaced it with. amzn.to/2xlgWJ1
@@HomesteadingWays which one do you like better?
@PeterP I liked the panda more, but the new one does the job.
Homesteading Ways Thanks for your updated recommendation. I just bought it after doing lots of research. I hope it will last a long time because I get crazy severe anxiety going to the laundry mate. This will help me so much and I’ll finally stop killing myself washing everything by hand. Hugs 🤗 !
@@HomesteadingWays pls make a new video about the one you just bought
finally somebody washing real clothes instead of little tea towels
rashla71 lmao 🤣
Clean Dirty Tea towels are not easy
As an introvert who doesn't like conversing with my neighbors when I finally get a day off from work, this seems like a really good solution! It will eventually pay for itself vs our pay machines, and no eye contact with the creepy lady with 4 kids and 2 cats that hits on me in the laundry room when I live alone by choice and don't want her company. Worth it, thanks!
+PlanetVampire.com Lol...anything to help!
PlanetVampire.com lol you sound like me!
I felt that 100% 😂😂😂
Best comment ever hahahah you made my day!!
Lol you sound like me ❤️
You are not doing the "rinse cycle". You have a water outlet above the spin area for a reason. Turn your spin cycle on and once it levels out turn the water on, you would be SHOCKED to see how much more dirt and dirty water comes out with the water. Leave that rinse on a full 4 minutes. Then turn off water and use the spin cycle for 3 more minutes. (make sure you never have water running while spin cycle is OFF, it must be on only when spin is on). I went to an RV show and Panda did a demo. I am shocked with all these videos I see that no one uses the spin cycle to rinse the clothing off. That is the best time because the spin is moving so fast it breaks up the dirt and orders more efficiently.
+Cyn Walling yes, I went over this in a later "tips" video. The reason I made this video (as others did as well) was due to the manufacturer's lack of instructions with the machine. It was kind of a learn as you go thing. I wish Panda had made a demo video. That would have been great!
Cyn Walling I'm buying one of these would you be available if I have questions
Actually, she did tell us about the inlet hose for the rinse/spin cycle.
Yes, but what the lady pointed out is that the rinse water hooked up goes through the clothes a WHOLE FOUR MINUTES. Only then is the FINAL RINCE BY ALL THE WATER BEING SUCKED OUT. See?
Cyn Walling hey I just bought mine it’s coming in a week - what did you mean by “don’t fill the water when it’s off” aren’t you suppose to fill the machine when it’s off?
One thing I would comment on is not to use fabric softener on towels. Most fabric softeners have silicone in them and eventually keep your towels from absorbing water after a shower. If you do use fabric softener you can help keep it from getting a water resistant buildup by ever 4 washes is to use vinegar and no fabric softener to remove the buildup from the towels.
If you ever notice your towels not soaking up the water after using them and they feel kinda slick it is due to the buildup from the fabric softener and will need to have them stripped with using vinegar and HOT water maybe several times to remove it.
True. I heard about the problem with fabric softener and towels before.
I never use fabric softener on any of our clothes.
poohbearny Good to know. Thank you
You can use wool dryer balls instead of fabric softener if you got a dryer. You can masks them from wool roving or buy them from Stoney mountain farm's. They last for long time.
poohbearny wow who would’ve known , the more you know . Thank you .
A great review, thank you! Your demo is the only one where you are washing heavy items and I wanted to see that. Good suggestion to spin dry half the load at a time on heavier items. I am going to order one so I doooo appreciate this video. Thank you again!
+Wilma L I'm glad I could help. I hope you love your Panda!
I’ll be getting one soon for my apartment..
Can i wash jeans also in this washing machine?
@@chandnidhawan9970 she just showed you that you can in the video.
I got to get one, I had no idea they made something affordable for washing clothes. I am on disability and the laundry mat is so expensive, plus I have alot of stairs to go up. Thank you for posting this video!!
Christine Huff Girl me too same here disable and pregnant my boyfriend doesnt want us washing clothes downstairs too hoping someone buys this for me at my baby shower I put them on my registry for walmart
I love this.
If you have casters underneath you could roll it anywhere you want.A machine like that is useful in a small apartment or in camper trailer. and it's not expensive.Just the price alone cannot be overlooked...a lot of seniors with small needs would certainly like it.And big appliances like mine cost a fortune especially here in Canada where prices go through the roof.I wish I would have had one when I was a young house wife when there are diapers and all baby stuff.Glad you showed us how it works...it might help more people than you think...maybe students in very small apartment and the very moderate price.
Neat little machine. Beats laundrymats and washing by hand!
Yes, it does! :)
You got that right and when you consider how much you spend at the laundramat, this machine pays for itself in months. I have the smaller version of the Panda.
where did you buy your washer at
She said she bought it for $200 on Amazon.
ha...too small...
I have one of these and the inlet on the spin side is for your rinse. If you put the hose in the inlet on the spin side and let it fill up then put your fabric softener in and turn the spinner on and it will rinse and spin all at the same time. I leave the water on for about a minute then turn it off so to finish spinning the water out. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you, craigsclocks! I bet you just helped a whole lot of people out! :)
craigsclocks thanks for the info about rinsing on the spin side. I was wondering if there was some problem, or something less efficient about rinsing on the spin side. But it sounds like you're happy with how it works. The only thing I was able to think of was that maybe by putting the clothes back in the wash side, the rinse water gets a better chance to really agitate/work through the clothes. Do you feel like the clothes are as well rinsed as possible using the spin side for rinsing? One of the commenters above talked about another brand of this machine that she used to have that ran the fresh rinse water while the machine was spinning, to help with the rinse. Do you know if this machine does that? Or if it has two separate actions of soak (in rinse water) and then spin? And if it's just soak and spin, do you know how long the clothes sit in the fresh rinse water before the machine starts spinning? Thank you for any extra details you might have.
My old washing machine, provided with the apartment we rented, would add a spray of water while it was spinning. I believe that is what this inlet is for. It's not actually for rinsing. It's to aid in the spin with a slight rinse.
The actual rinse is to be done in the wash cycle where the wash is done. This is where you get the agitation to mix the fresh water into the clothes to dilute the soapy water in the clothes.

The washer and dryer we have now are not top of the line, but they work very well. They were practically new when we bought the matching set off Craig's List both for $100. We did have to repair the dryer once, but it was just an "over heat" fuse. Anyway, the model we have now, does not add a spray during the spin cycle.
craigsclocks I was wondering what that was for! Thanks
craigsclocks thanks I was wonder about the rinse
Use an enzyme based laundry powder then you'll never need to do a hot wash again. Simple. 40 degrees celcius (luke warm in the outdated F measurement).
I love that such an old technology is still useful in these days of computerised everything!! I'm impressed!
This was an absolutely AWESOME documentary on how to use this machine! I bought the one size smaller (the B36) for my daughter to use at college. She will fill it with a bucket and drain it into a bucket, but she can use it right in her dorm room. She learns so well by watching, so this is super helpful! Thanks so much!
In her dorm room? Kudos! Now that's smart thinking! :)
My daughter and her family were in between moves and with 4 active boys needed to have a washing solution at the ready. I had purchased this model of Panda washer after having read/seen the reviews ... but never used it. I lent the model to my daughter for their temporary use. What a blessing it was for her.
She NEVER had to go to the laundromat even once... and it worked beautifully for them. So she had numerous loads per week, but just worked 'doing laundry' into her daily task list, and it wasn't complicated at all. When they finally moved into their permanent home she returned the unit to me, in beautiful condition, after many, many loads....
So there you have it. Even a family of 6 (2 adults, 4 boys) found the Panda very useful!!!
Good to hear. I'm glad it worked out so well for your family!
This is a miniature of the machine we had in the 50s. Same principle. The spinner had it's own faucet that fed water down the center of the spinner while spinning. We washed the light colored, lightly soiled items first and used the same water for the next load. The water spinning through the washed clothes acted to rinse them. We had no electric dryer at that time. We had clotheslines outside and throughout the basement for rainy days and cold weather. We now have a new-design drying rack that we use a lot in the summer when we don't want to run the dryer. (There are weirdos next door so I don't want to hang underwear outside. One man asked me if he could have my old underwear. LOL) Anyway, the rack can hold an enormous amount of items. It has arms that fold out on each side for hangers and they have hooks for socks. Great thing to have. Love your Panda.
+amycrafts2012 What fabulous tips! I was thinking about how I could use less water and I think you just provided the solution! The clothes may be a bit more wet when I add them to the spinner, but I'm ok with that. And I'd love to know where you got your drying rack. I have one, but it sure isn't as good as the one you mentioned. Thanks for the great comment!
We got that rack from QVC. There is a video showing the details on the QVC website. They are selling an updated version now. It is called the Green Rack. Search drying racks and it is there. It is $44.00. Ours was sure worth it and is very sturdy. The new one should hopefully be even better. Take a look.
+amycrafts2012 Thanks!!
this machine seems so great. I hate spending almoat 30 to 40 bucks a week washing my clothes I think this would be great for me apartment. seems like I can do a little everyday. Love love love!! and it's in purple!! my favorite color even better!!
+Valerie MG it really is a great little machine! :)
I have the smaller version of this machine. I've been using it for about 3 years and it has saved me many trips to the laundromat. I don't get my clothes filthy, so I drain the spin-out wash water right back into the washtub. I've done a weeks worth of laundry in one tub full of water! I will be buying the Panda 15lb capacity twin tub washer soon, and selling the smaller one. Thanks for your video
Didn't know there was a higher capacity one. Thanks for letting me know!
Mineya Bidniss can ypu make a reveiw of your machine & the new one ?? I would love to see it as we are moving in a few months & would love to save $$ and trips to thw laundrymat.
I have the PAN612SG model. The difference is there is only one water intake connection and a switch you flip to divert water to the spin side. A little more convenient that way. Nice machine to operate from small solar system.
I wish I had known about portable washers years ago. I live in a big apartment complex. If I wasn't house hunting right now, I would buy one.
I really want this thing, now. LOL They should pay ya' to do an infomercial. :D We live full time in an RV. I spend something like $80 a month on laundry for my entire family (at a laundromat). By hand, I save a ton of money, but it takes all day and it's physically demanding. I could take two months or so of laundry money to buy this awesome looking gadget, and only ever buy soap and softener. Thanks for the advice. Your vid. was presented in a friendly manner; informative and well thought out. The demo sold me on the Panda. Thanks!
+Victoria Baxter-Caballero I'm glad you liked the video. And I know how you feel about how hard it is to hand wash at home or draggin everything to the laundromat. It's only Paul and I now, but with his heavy winter clothes (he's a big guy) along with linens and towels it's a lot of work and time. This method isn't completely labor free, but it's better! :)
Victoria Baxter-Caballero ,buy from cute shopping app.
I wanted to see this version of the Panda. Thanks. Dec. 2013 I bought the 7.9 pound capacity one. Love it so much. I had to move into an apartment after 20 living in a house. Property was sold. Even though the laundry room is not far from my apartment having to use a walker to get around I found it unbearable to go to the laundry and carry everything.
When I saw the Panda l was saved! I use it for all mine and mom's cloths.
I have an over the door cloths hanger rod that holds 10 clothes hanger. The Panda fits just nice in my bathroom. I can sit there and wash my cloths.
as far as towels and wash cloths, I do those and hang them up the same way on the thing on my door with cloths pins. I did buy a portable cloths line to put in the patio, have not needed to use it yet since the way I do it now, works for me. Now sheets, I found a wash n fold dry cleaners near me that picks up washes and folds and delivers.
Wow. Glad you found a way to get the laundry done.! :D
This is the first review that shows the correct way to use these machines that have seen. Awesome, thank you.
Great demo! My family and I live in an apartment and we share 3 washing machines and 3 dryers with 31 other tenants. They just raised the prices in our laundry room from $1 to $1.25 per wash and per dry :( Hopefully my parents will consider buying one of these so we won't have to wash heavy items by hand. Thank you!
Oh wow. Well, you can't wash stuff like blankets, but you sure can wash some heavy jeans and the like. It would definitely save your family money and work! I hope your parents get a Panda, too!
our laundry mat charges 4.50 a load!! CRAZY!!! I can't wait until mine comes in
Wow! :-O
In my apt. bldg, wash & dry is $2.75 for per load and you have to initially buy a card for $10 to load your money onto it. Yours is very cheap. lol
I live in apt. $2 to wash $2 dry
I'm using mine for the first time! Thanks for the spin cap tip! The direction book is as about as vague as an instruction booklet can get. I was unsure about that and I'll make sure I'll have clothes as balanced as possible before I turn it on. I've washed already and ready to spin now with more confidence. Fingers crossed! Beats squeezing clothes out with my hands and mop squeezer. My hands are so beaten up! Yeah...I used to do my hubby's and my clothes and sheets and towels by hand. I hate laundromats so now I'll just go for the big stuff like rugs and comforters. God, I hope this works. I'll give ya an update! Thank you for taking the time to do this! I appreciate it. Please ignore the a**holes who leave stupid remarks. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow! all of that BY HAND? You are one strong woman! Lol....I hope the machine works wonderfully for you :)
this thing is perfect for building apartment or condominium
+ernanv24 Yes, it's a really great option!
I had been looking for this Panda for some time. I took a chance and paid $70 at the thrift store for it, not knowing if it worked or not. Well, it does, but I didn’t know how, exactly, to use it. Your video was just what I needed to get it up and running. It’s a great machine that I can now successfully use. Thank you so much for walking me through it step by step!
You are amazing. Thank you so much in making this video. It's totally inspired us to get one. We live in an apartment so this is fabulous. Great job.
I'm happy to help. When you get your Panda make sure to check out my newer Panda video on usage tips and hints. Thanks for watching!
Homesteading Ways I'll definitely watch them and thanks for the suggestion.
Hey im just now watching this u say theres a newer video? And im lookimg for the best portable Washer and dryer...within maybe $150 to $175 What do u suggest and where to buy. Thanks in advance
Does it take allot of electricity like in your light bill?
The wash takes 240 volts and spin takes 120v. It takes A LOT less than a regular wash machine that requires it's own curcuit, like an air conditioner does. No, this is low. Think of 4 60 wat lightbulbs for the amount of time it is working. Low energy.
twin tub washing machines
are the best ever
they give you more control
thankyou for this review
and clear description of how to use it
i want one !
+Bon Chance thank you and I hope you get to own one someday!
Thanks for posting this video! Being plus size I wanted to see someone washing larger clothing to get a realistic idea of a max load. Really helped to see how fast, efficient this machine works, that spin dry is amazing! Many thanks from Northern Michigan!
I'm glad I could help!
I have one, and it works great! I wash my levis and t-shirts and the come out very clean. I wash, them spin out the wash water then do a rinse and a final spin... I have a few vids on UA-cam showing me using mine.....
Thank you so much for such a fantastic and detailed review. Your explanations and demonstrations were clear and concise and even though the overall video was close to 20 minutes, there wasn't any unnecessary fluff or filler words. You don't ramble on needlessly the way a lot of reviews do. I also like how you included heavier clothing -- most of my clothing is of this type. Thank you also for including how and why that extra drainage port exists. I like that the feature eliminates a couple of steps!
Thanks! :-)
I'm very very impressed! and I looked on eBay and found these portable washing machines super cheap and all delivered too so it a real gem for a middle-age disabled gal and at the public laundromat it is not safe, lecherous men gawking at a single gal
Fond memories of the Cub Scout years when half my time seemed to be spent in laundromats. Then I was gifted a much earlier washer of this type. It proved to be a life saver.
It sure does help to avoid the laundromat! :)
You're the 3rd person that has loved this Washer
Thank you for sharing this video.
Judi Christopher
Great job! Always wondered how the Panda machines perform. Very well done video! Thanks for letting us watch! 😊
@Chris Calara UA-cam won't let me reply directly to your comment. It's just a cut off piece of pantyhose :)
Great video! I have the smaller version which is perfect for me. I live in a small A Frame and even though there is a washer and dryer hookup here, putting in standard size appliances take up valuable space that I use for other things. The washer hookup is under the stairs which puts it in the livingroom as well. Instead I put my desk under the stairs for my business. I'm a professional organizer. The dryer hookup is in the tiny kitchen which also takes up too much space and I have very few cabinets and even less counter space as it is. So I have a small island where the dryer would go and I store the panda washer at the end of the island. I just push it over to my kitchen sink when I need it.
I've had mine almost 3 years and using the same hoses too. To save time as the washer side is draining I put some clothes into the spin side and by the time the washer is drained the first load in the spinner is also done. Then I put in the rest of the clothes in the spin side and start filling up the washer side for the next load.
This little washer is a real life saver. I hate going to the laundramat. I also don't use the spinner side for rinsing.
Sounds like you have a great set up :-)
Hey Sandra! Great review! I just purchased this and you literally taught me how to use it!!! Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this thorough and awesome presentation of this PANDA XPB45 portable machine. I like the idea of putting a panty hose at the end of the drain those and using as a filter. Great job!!! Thank you!!!
It probably has broads in Atlanta
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is a great review, and I literally burst into laughter when I saw this comment, because I would hum the panda song every time I searched a review for this machine.
you've just described everything this youtube channel doesn't stand for explained in so few words... good job.
Samantha Lyons oooo
Larry Loud -w
This is going in my off grid cargo camper lots of shorts socks and t shirts when camping with 5 grandsons this makes clean clothes easy for a bunch of boy boys who can find really fun ways to get pigpenned up.
The second inlet is to put fresh water while you're spinning in order to rinse effectively and with very little water!
The water connection on the spinner side is for you to spray water on the clothes as they're spinning to help remove any trapped suds after the rinse cycle. The spinner can't hold any water. It drains out immediately after working through the clothes.
Because the water has to turned off manually, at the faucet, it's okay to mix cold and hot. But if using a single-hose washer that turns the water off automatically, you should use only cold or hot at one time. Reason: When the hose is turned off at the washer, the valves in the faucet are still open, so water will continue to flow, into whichever supply has the lower pressure. That will contaminate the cold water (which you drink from) with hot (which you should not drink from), or vice versa. In an apartment building this might even affect water delivered to your neighbors. But "happily" with this system it's not an issue. Nor is it an issue with a conventional washer that has separate supplies and inputs for hot and cold.
Thank you for the really clearcut demo.
It's a twin tub! Like we had years ago in UK. We would wash and spin everything then rinse and spin everything. I think 8 minutes was the maximum wash, the agitator was hard on your clothes.. Uses much less water and the same water can be used again, and it is quicker. We didn't have wash bags then. Great to see your video.
Thanks for watching and sharing that info! :)
the spinner side? it's called an extractor. some laundromats still have extractors. i remember a friend of mine had one of these from way back when, like the 50's or so. he kept it repaired and it worked fine for a REALLY long time. i would LOVE to get one of these. hell i line dry my clothes now on drying racks. works great. this would just make me able to dry more loads per day. wish i had a clothesline outside, i'd never have dirty clothes. :D hate doing dishes love doing laundry..*L*. TY for the video.
so if your ok with it? how much did this cost? TY!
AHA!! should watch the whole video when asking simple questions! *LOL* TY again.
I'll send you my laundry and you can send me your dishes! Lol :)
this is the best washer ever! I'm so impressed and relieved to have it.
I love it, too!
Would be a perfect option for the cottage too!! Beats going to the laundromat and sitting in the heat when you should be at the beach
Ive had it for about 2 yrs. Wont trade it for anything, used it in 2 different apartments.
After watched your review, i will buy one. I have Haier Portable washer machine Hpl21n and after almost 2 years, the hose was leaking a lot water. And costs me almost same price buy another one brand new then to fix it.
One thing i really like: spin its separate from the washing cicle. Your review was the best one on youtube. thank you
+Lu Lima Thank you! I haven't heard of he machine you mention, bu I hope you'll be as happy with your Panda as I am mine.
This was a huge help, thank you. Very clear and it gave me a great idea of what actually doing the laundry with this thing would be like.
I'm glad to help. Thanks for watching!
I bought a larger one like that. Mine has an agitator and it really cleans the cloths. I love mine..♥️
Nice to see a demo from someone with a clean bathroom or kitchen geesh.
Awesome video! Much better than going to the laundry mat every week. This takes a little work bit totally worth it in the comfort of your own home.
That's what I thought :)
Thanks Sweetie for the demonstration! I'm that 1bedroom lady small apt in hate going down the hall sharing 2washers in 2dryers with like 20 other tenents!! I love urs but may have to hide it in my apt if i buy 1. Lol Thanks Again.
I have a Kuppet and probably going for a Panda next time. Thanks for the demo. I have rinsed some with water in the spinner, but comment below that talks of doing complete rinse in the spinner sounds awesome. I just didn't think it would really get them all rinsed. Will have to try it!!!
Jeanette I ordered 2 yes two. Had one but not panda. Smaller. PLEASE PLEASE can't wait.
@Prophetess2Nations: Fabulous! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!
You do a great demo on your washer! Run's great. I had a small appointment could not stand going to the Laundry mat! Good vidio!😊
I love this and I want one very soon, right apartment size i need would fit perfectly in my bathroom .
i have one with a 17.6 lb capacity , 11lbs on one side and 6.6 on spin side, pretty good. i only gave rounded figure of 107 .00 and free shipping from amazon. they really are good if you have nothing and if your big machine should quit, and camping ect... great video homesteading ways
kim sims Hi! Did you purchase the Costway 17 lb washer? If so how do you like it. Im thinking of purchasing this one soon but i cant find an up to date review on it.
it will shock you how good it works and how dirty your water gets.i couldnt believe it. the only thing t found is do not wash 2 pair of pants in same wash because the legs tangle and ball up and it stresses the washer. i wash 1 pair with several shirts and does very well. my clothes are cleaner and smell better then when i had my maytag full size washer. spinner works so good that clothes have absolutely dry spots when done spinning out. some thing will definitely need ironing. but i do that anyway..I would buy another!!! ill do a demo in a couple days
The price keeps going up, I might as well buy a regular washer , if I will be spending just as much as a home dryer. I would get it to save money, but I thank you for the reviews. I just discovered it today, so I looked around for more reviews. Thank you!
D. A. Some landlords say no traditional washer or don’t have hookups. Depends on situation
I like it because it's purple
Lol I got a red one
Awesome review, thank you I actually ordered one of these for my son. He lives in Soho NYC in a 110 square foot apartment and needed this badly. It's perfect
+ShadowDancer Babeena_Gt wow, super tiny place! Good luck to him!
Thank you for describing on how to use the Panda washing machine. You were very informative.
The best demo I've seen.
Thanks!
@ Homesteading Ways....
Awesome video... I to have the XPB45, It's awesome washing machine. I purchased mine for
my RV. I have done some quick washes with it, and I am very impressed with with the way it
washed and spins. It cleans clothes very well, and the spin dryer, wow.... The clothes are darn
near dry after spinning. I have a couple of videos here, but I will say, not as good as yours... You
done a fine job making this video. Thanks for sharing with all of us.....
+Goodolboy One Thank you! I appreciate it. I love the machine too, and you're right about how well it cleans and spins clothes nearly dry. It's been a great help to me. Thanks for watching!
Homesteading Ways
You are very welcome....
When you are a small family this is way enough.,thanks for the info...
Great video. I’ve been going around different videos and taking a look at them because I’m wanting to purchase a small mini washer like this. I’m also on a very tight budget so that’s another factor. A little washer will definitely pay for itself. We have a laundry room on site in our apartment complex, But I have back problems and other disabilities that are hard on me to do laundry going back-and-forth. So thanks again for a great video truly appreciate showing how heavy clothes wash in these little washers.
Thank you for watching! :-)
You're great at reviewing this thing. I feel like buying one now :)
+NadrianATRS Lol.....thanks.
Glad you showed the portable washer i wondered about that thanks for sharing 💖
EXCELLENT VIDEO REVIEW..Thank you for taking the time to make such an detailed and informative review. I was considering purchasing one and now that I have seen it in action, I am now ready to get one....Thanks again!!!
Thanks for watching. I hope it works just as well for you!
Just wanted to say thank-you for the great review, very detailed. This is very helpful, as I am interested in one of these machines, thank-you!!!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Bro! Congratulations and thank you so much for such good explanation about the use of this washing machine. I watched different videos, but yours is definitely the best one.
Thanks!
been staring at this thing I got second hand thanks so much now I can use it!
Lol...I hope it works well for you!
LOL, on the spin cycle it sounded like a motorcycle engine.
Thank you. I feel that soon I will buy one.
I'm learning carpentry so I will probably put wheels on my future Panda washing machine.
I'm so Happy I found these video! Thank you for making this video!!
Happy to help!
Thank you for uploading your review and for the tip on improvising a lint collector : )
So I am assuming that if I am doing a few things that aren't really soiled but just need a bit of freshening up that I can use the same load of water for a second load...is that correct...I was looking for something to take with us in a converted school bus, as the washer dryer combos take soooo long and are so heavy on water and electricity etc...I remember my mom (many moons ago...lol) using a washer spinner unit to keep us kids in decent clothes...back in the horse and buggy days..lol..i was thrilled to see that they still had them...I cant thank you enough for the video. It was a great little tutorial. SOLD! I have custody of my grand kids and I am taking them out of the regular school system to home school them on the road for a year. Sometimes less is more. The simplicity of living in a tiny house on wheels and the appreciation for lifes simple pleasures and the education that comes with travel, are so much more important that all the bling bling of city living...we are converting the bus to solar and I am going to have a peek at your other videos that I am sure I will enjoy as well...and learn a few things...THANK YOU!
Yes, I re-use the water sometimes. I'll link you with a "tips" video I did some months after first owning the Panda. i LOVE your plan for the grandkids! How lucky they are to have you. What an adventure! I wish you luck! ua-cam.com/video/kluqZN9hhoo/v-deo.html
@Kieta Rhoades Not very much, but then again we quit raising a bunch of animals at the same time that used both water and electricity.
*TIP* Leave the water in the wash while spinning. The weight of the water keeps the machine from moving/bouncing while spinning.
Thank you! Just found one at an estate sale & was clueless.
i use a hair dryer or fan to dry my clothes! and im from WISCONSIN! take care! panda panda panda panda lol
I'm in Wisconsin, too. :) I've used a fan, but haven't tried a hair dryer yet.Thanks for the idea!
Great demo!! Didn't know this existed...may have to invest in this!
You did an excellent presentation of the panda... Thank you.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year... God bless you
Thanks so much I just buy mine and I'm washing clothes while watching your video
Great demo. Will be buying soon.
I really really like this idea, because I live in an apartment (also in
Wisconsin!!!) with my fiance. Nearest laundromat is 20 minutes away and
our building shares 2 washers and 2 driers for 10 apartments. Boo! Im
concerned about the size though?? does it store away easy? is the
machine easy to clean? Did your electricity/water bill go up much higher
while using it? Ive been looking at smaller versions and now im just
not sure which one I want.
Hello, fellow Wisconsinite! The panda doesn't take much room to store and no, I didn't notice an increase on my electric or water bill. BUT, the last of my kids had just moved out shortly before I started using the machine. I encourage you to do plenty of research so you get exactly what you're looking for.
Great review! I don't have the Panda but however I do have a portable mini washing machine with a spin dry dry cycle that I bought online from Best Choice Products. It has the same setup as yours, and washes up to 10-12 pounds and drys up to 6-8 pounds. I love this machine, it saves me from having to go to the laundry all the time! I hang my items in the bathroom and turn a fan on them to dry even quicker.
Thank you so much for this review !! I am so appreciative right now
Glad to help!
NICE
HELPFUL & INFORMATIVE... YOU HAVE SUCH A PLEASANT PERSONALITY AND THANKS FOR THIS REVIEW 😊
Thank you! :)
What kind of impact has this had on your electric and water bills?
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to review this product.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great review, I'm looking forward to mine coming next week!
I hope you love it!
the second inlet is while spinning you turn on the water and it spin rinses which in turn you don't have to go back and do a wash
+akuapiatas yep, you're right!
I just bought mine, it’s coming in a week- so your suppose to put water in the spinner? How much? And why what does that do?
Thanks!
This was an excellent review! Loved it! I have subscribed! Thank you!
+patricia ferrari Thank you!
Idea, Harbor freight dolly and you got wheels!!!! Good idea for next season's camping. Thanks for the information.
+dadams19111 funny you mentioned thst as Paul and I were just talking about getting one from harbor freight! 😄
LOL! Great minds think alike :)
I love this and I want one very soon, right apartment size i need would fit perfectly in my bathroom . this is amazing !!!! Thanks for the share
Thanks! Hope it works for you!
Wow and wow!!! Excellent demo and thank you so much😁
Very cool, I was wondering how well these work. We have a washer and dryer in our home already, but I was looking for something smaller that could be used say on our solar backup power or smaller generator in case of emergency. Something like this or even the smaller one you mentioned would be perfect. Subbed your channel too, Great stuff.
+Iridium242 I'm glad to help and thanks for subbing!
Thanks for the review.
