Ur so beautiful!!
Have you ever followed the instructions in the manual and did the regular maintenance? If you have or will, I would love to see a video. I purchased this due to your recommendation.
If you unscrew the head of the shower you'll put water faster in the washing machine. Great laundry, by the way.
Forgot to add, about the lint, if you place an old sock at the end of the drain tube, fix it with an elastic band, you'll get all the lint off your drainage whole.
How do you wash bigger items like blankets comforters or sheets?💁♀️ sorry that’s probably a stupid question if it doesn’t fit just Goto the laundry mat😂
Another thing to mention is that some people are not blessed with a perfect neighborhood. By buying a portable washer reduces on the risk of something bad happening at the laundromat (I was almost kidnapped at one once). Its also less money as I get free water, trash, and heating.
I like it because it makes me more self dependent, I have my own machine and I use it when I want to. Ya know?
Love mine!!
Who’s the girl in ur profile pic? Is she a insta model? She’s v cute.
You almost got kidnapped? Sheesh, poor soul.
I almost got arrested
I have never watched a washing machine video before but I'm at the laundromat now and this popped up in my recommended. Google really does know everything 😱
thanks for watching...scary tho..
😂😂😂 that's creepy!! Lol
Did you buy one or is the laundry mat better? I just moved into a really tiny apartment and don't know how I feel about going to the laundry mat every week with an infant
ASMRpsy I have an almost two year old. We are in an apartment with her dad... I am highly considering this... coin laundry starts to suck fast
@@SarawrDubya trust me you need a portable washer and dryer. They sell actual portable dryers that heat up and spin but there $280 but these are life changers
I love this lady, she is finding solutions that work for her and sharing those solutions, love it.
I lived in apartment in CA with NO laundry hook ups, with a baby, and coin operated laundry...I ended up find out about the portable washers and it was a game-changer. I also used the drying rack and it was AWESOME. Put the kid down for a nap, do a small load, put them clothes on the drying rack...dry in a few hours. Brilliant. Through the years as a military person, I have lived in various housing that had no hook-ups and that portable washer moved with me like a faithful companion. I, too, found it at a Goodwill close to base. I now live in a house and the kid is grown, but if my washer ever went out and I did not have the funds to fix or replace it, I would grab a portable one of these again in a heartbeat. Thanks for helping spread some good feels to those who may benefit from it. Peace & cheers.
The added benefit of using that drying rack, instead of a dryer, it that hanging clothes out to dry is better for the fabric and elastic and your clothes, blankets, and bed sheets last longer. Not to mention you save on electricity. When I buy a house, I'm puting up a clothes line and only using the dryer for emergencies!
OK, so after two years of research I bought the 17.6 pound one...before the pandemic and paid a little over $100. They are currently running about $300, now.
$100 to $300? Wtffff scammers
geez! the price gouging is real! wish I knew about this earlier
My neighbors will help people's laundry disappear that is why I hate using the complex's machines.
I had the opposite experience once. I put my laundry in the dryer, went upstairs to my apartment, and when I came back, someone had added jackets and blankets in with my laundry to get it dried for free! My laundry didn't dry because of all the extra crap (theirs did because of the material it was made of) and I had to pay TWICE to dry my clothes so they could get theirs done for free! I was NOT happy! That is just as much theft as if they took my laundry! ☹️
Katie Rosa I’m super petty so I would have just taken their clothes 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@taylorsmith972 I ... May or may not have done that ... 🙃
@@taylorsmith972 Last night I actually had a neighbor take my clothes out, placed it on top of the machine and put there clothes in my DRYER CYCLE!!!... So I took there clothes and left a note saying "Once you figure out who this is you can get your clothes back!!! Have a nice day!" (We live in a 32 unit building) No one has come to reclaim there clothes yet... Lol. Anyways... I'm buying a small washing machine for my tiny apt and been binged watching UA-cam reviews all day looking for the best one to buy 🇨🇦
Pet Baby Crochet I absolutely HATED when people would leave their clothes in the washer or in the dryer and I’d come back downstairs with all my stuff almost every hour hoping they took their stuff so I could use a machine. NOPE. Not even when I check the next morning. So annoying. Then at a family members house they never cleaned their front load washer properly and all my clothes would smell moldy. There was no winning in that situation. Now the apartment I live in the landlord said there’s a hookup but won’t let us buy a washer and dryer because water is expensive (we don’t pay water at this current apartment). I fully convinced my husband to order a portable washer and it’s coming in a few days 🙏🏽 I can’t wait. I’m tired of hand washing clothes
You inspired me to look into getting one of these. I ended up getting a different model but it's one of the best decisions I ever made. Saves me so much trouble, thanks!
I bought one of these based on all the reviews on UA-cam. I got it from Google Express for about 80 bucks, and that includes shipping. My regular washer died and I couldn't afford to replace it. Apparently, the laundromat washers didn't clean my clothes at all. My little machine gets everything so clean. I will never worry about buying a full sized one again. I have 3 quilts that don't fit, but my blankets and sheets do.
Hekate Jane how big are your blankets?
Do you have the link from where you got it from?
@@ahnyayadens9323 , I got it through the Google express app from a company called Best Products, if I remember right. When you use the app the first time, they gave a code for 20% off your first order.
My friends and I, we ALL have these portable machines, they are all about the same. I picked mine after I saw it was 99 with free shipping + the 20% off and checking for review videos.
Try Google Express. I have used them several times and they make me happy.
@@christinasalazar6962, my biggest blanket is 99 inches by 60 inches, it fits to wash, but it is too big to spin. Most of my blankets are throws, 50 inches by 60 inches. I live in a warm place with almost no winter. The throws wash and spin 2 at a time.
My sheets are queen.
My husband, being male, is a big person, over 6 feet tall. I can do maybe 1 pair of his jeans, maybe 2 t shirts and a few socks. I can wash almost triple of my clothes, since they are pretty small. I can easily do 3 or 4 outfits and a few other things.
I love my machine.
I had to wash my comforters at the laundry mat... wash & dry almost $10 for 1. Imagine spending that once a week or several times a week? the money and time really adds up.
That Japanese lint bag is the bomb. I’ve been doing my laundry in a twin tub for years and the foam/lint bag is a game changer
Saw your original vid. And this update was great. Thanks. Love your short and honest comentary. I'm sold. Thanks again.
You are so likeable. I have been going through hell lately, and seeing your bright and cheery face makes me a happy girl. Ty for sharing sweetheart.⚘
tranquility thank you friend!
@@baiyinadotcom yw😊
I love mine!! I purchased mine based on part 1! It’s been great for apartment living!
We also bought ours based on her first video and was sooooo impressed we bought one for our daughter we love it we live in a 3rd floor apt i dont have to carry laundry bags up 3 flights of stairs hooray we've had ours almost a year now
Do you have the link for this on amazon?
how much does the water bill go up?
Is it still working and how dry does it get the stuff?
I have had mine for over a year. And still loving it
Love your review about the washer. Looks really well made. Never knew they existed
I bought one of these for our RV after watching your first video and I absolutely LOVE it!! We were lugging clothes from our RV to home every weekend and it was a huge pain. This changed everything! As for the lint, Amazon sells lint catchers for these washers for $8.00. I bought a set of three and saw a significant difference in the amount of lint on the clothes. Doesn’t get it all but, it does get the majority. Thanks for the update! ✌🏼
Hi! I glad that you did another review, because I was the one that send you a message on your first review about this same washing machine and I had mine for other a year and it's still working finr. Thanks for writing me back and enjoy your day.
Because of your review, I bought this washing machine. Your review was honest. Funny I had come to the same conclussions about 10 days after I purchased mine. I have similar living situation so I understand. This was one of my life changing purchases I made. I found that yes water went up but saved in because I was spending $40 a week in washing and bill only went up by 10 dollars. Best timesaver and money saver. Thank you so much for this recommendation. It has made my life so much better.
I bought my Della from Amazon based on your initial review and She is still working out fabulously!! Thanks for the update!
Reminds me of my youth in the 1970's. My mum would always be stuck over one of those twin tub machines like you have. Awesome that people are still finding a use for 50 year old tech!
I just bought one. Another brand but same exact concept. It washes fantastic. I really like that you came back a year later. Thank you
loved the video. so informative and i loved having the one year update!
💙Love this video! 〰️Your bucket solution is very creative!💡Your an inspiration!💎Keep up the great videos!🎉
I would definitely use this washer rather than go to the laundromat. It would be worth it to me too!!
Your hair looks great!
I would run the cord up the back and along the ceiling and down to the plug. You can twist some eye hooks into the wall or command hooks and they would hold the cord in place that way it’s out of the way and off of the floor.
I'm in LA too and sis i feeel your pain when it comes to tge landromat and no washer/dryer hook up. Thank you for this video!
I just purchased this product after watching both your reviews thank you for the review. Best Buy I ever bought from amazon.
Thank you for doing this. The update is very useful.
I have a Kuppet 26lb capacity. I love it. I'm disabled and live on the 3rd floor. This machine is a tremendous help. Money was tight and I had to do laundry by hand for 3months. So I was definitely ready. Loved your video, here in Jersey apartment dwellers go to the laundry. I'm about to bottle laundry soap I made yesterday.
my mum had a machine like that in the 1970s it was so good you can move them around were you want to just as good as the machine today x
I just randomly thought about when my mom talked about these like over ten years ago. Just bought a different brand but I love it! Makes laundry so much easier. Luckily for me the water is well water though.
I saw your first one months and months ago. It’s so funny that I’m now considering moving to an apartment with no w/d hookups so I am so glad to see your follow up!!
You are so lucky to have found this at a thrift shop!! You shouldn’t have a problem with your electrical plug because the wall socket looks like a ground fault receptacle.
What a fantastic invention. Thank you for your tutorial and 1year later review. I also seen they have a portable dryer that has an attachment that almost resembles a hair dryer. It was around 35$. It folds up and comes in a carry bag. I live in a small ranch, we have hookups but the space isn't large enough to fit a stackable! Ugh. So in emergencies, I have been handwashing outfits. And hang drying them. I'm definitely going to look into purchasing this! Thank you so much for this!!
Thanks for all the details. Is great idea for the Japanese balls and the lint idea.
I still want one. Hopefully by this summer. Great review..
Bought this (with your link!) a month or so ago and LOVE it!!! Great find!!
My set up is the same. Some units have washer and dryers, but I live in a really nice studio. This is my next bigger purchase. I need this. Thanks for your review. It helps to know exactly what I will have to do.
I have the same type of washer, I have a tile shelf on one end of my bathtub that fits the washing machine perfectly. Love it! I also picked up a Panda 110v clothes dryer on Amazon for $250, that dries my clothes in about 30 minutes. I now only go to the laundry mat to wash my comforter. I highly recommend these washers for all apartment dwellers who don't have hookups.
Thank you for your presentation. You given more details than others reviews.
I think this is a great solution for a small spaceI. Im a new subscriber i really love your channel ❤
Thanks for the helpful content 😎
Thank you for the demonstration!!!
Need that, only 8 washers in this complex. Vintage bathroom is beautiful. You should do something tour of your Apt.
I have both a regular washer and dryer plus the washer that you have I love it. Now I'm going to get the portable dryer as well, they are so cute.
You go gurlllllll!!! I'm ordering another model next week. I have been living in my apt 17yrs and my back is wretched with hauling heavy loads to laundry mat. Soooo it's time I have the $$ so we'll see how it goes. I'm EXCITED!!!
I bought one and it’s the magic chef and I love it! Your system is excellent!
I’m happy she explained the renting issue with apartments because a lot of people don’t understand that. I have that issue as well. It’s true that some units are different than others it happens all the time! I am considering getting this..very cool.
I'm in same type vintage apartment by the beach. I sacrificed the washer dryer too. My mini washer dryer combo is awesome!! I dont pay water so I beat you on that!! I was tired of laundry trips and wasting a whole day. Now I do same thing, little loads here and there. And clothes DO come out almost completely dry!! Awesome review.
You have cultivated the most helpful, cheerful comments section I have ever seen!! Thank you for sharing your review!
Moved from Chicago to Nairobi, Kenya 3 months ago and been doing laundry by hand. I just ordered one of these and should have it in a few days. Super excited about it now after watching this video! Gonna be here another year and a half so really looking forward to not hand washing everything anymore. Thanks for the review!
I bought the Della because if you. I used the Della for almost 2 years. My apartment had a washer dryer hookup yet I was a poor full time student. Now that I’ve been making more money, I tried to stay using my Della but then corona virus happened and I was terrified to take my queen size comforter to the laundry Mat, which I had been doing since the Della isn’t large enough. Now that I’m back to the front load washer I do feel the Della was a lot of work. Lol. But defiantly worth the money and beats the laundry mat. However, I haven’t bought a dryer because air drying my clothes has allowed them to last much longer. It’s amazing how damaging the heat from the dryer is, even to quality, expensive clothing.
Just ordered mine last week for $94 (new), suppose to be delivered today, living in a camper, must have some sacrifices. Thank you for great videos. :)
My wife and I live full time in a travel trailer, we have purchased one of the Della washer/spin dryer and it has changed our life. We love ours
Now YOU need to follow up.. one month later.. are you still loving it?
I remember watching your original washer video and I fell in love with your bathroom. I’d love to have your one bedroom apartment. Anyways, you did a great job teaching me how to do laundry in this sort of washer. I am very happy with my washer with spin dryer. Heavens NO, do not fill up your spinner tub with water to those wondering why not. Ordinary washers never spin with with a tank full of water. Nice seeing you again. My latest appliance is a very smart Stainless Steal 11 cu ft upright convertible freezer/fridge by Galanz, digital, beautiful, with glass shelves and all the bells and whistles.
Thx for this update btw you look amazing !!! I just started researching portable washers and found your first review 😊 My son has a bad back and no W&D at his place so he lugs it to my house which is too much for his back.
I ordered one, I’m just waiting for it to be delivered. I had one years ago. I had the hoover spinmatic. They were built to last, but these machines are perfect.
Spot on great video Thank You !you answered all my q.uestions
Thank You for sharing.I,was thinking about buying one..
I have one that is an all on one washer and spinner. Kind of just like a small regular washing machine which hooks up to the kitchen sink. I love it and still kept in when I moved into my townhouse which has full size hookups just in case I'll need it again in the future. But yes, I agree with you about going to the laundromat.... I HATE IT! Lol
I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I think it's the best thing to come down the pike since sliced bread! It works better than a full-sized one.
Love the portrait on the wall. Reminds me of the artist Egon Schiele.
This brings back memories. Back in 1992 I was a first time mom and my baby daughter and I lived in an apartment alone. I hated having to wash at the laundry room. I was blessed with one of these but of course it was the 90s it looked a little different . I loved my little washer.
Thanks for the review! I’ve found rentals- at least all the studios I’ve ever looked at- NEVER have in unit but some have coin operated. I’ve always felt kind of gross using the in unit that 20-100 other ppl use (especially during COVID) so I’ve been really interested in one of these.
I got the Homelabs dryer I think you should too. Also got the stand for the washer and dryer and it's my own personal washing area I love it!
I love mine! I purchased it for a place we seldom go but I didn’t want or need a full size washer and dryer...I use it like camping sort of....I like to spin after washing and spray to wet the clothes to about as wet as there were coming out the washer and spin them a few times before rinsing in a full tub again....this allows me to rinse several pieces then turning it into wash water for more :) it surprises me every time how much I get done with it!
Thank you so much!! I've thought about buying one for years. I knew of them b/c of my travels to the UK & Europe. I agree with you about finding a place you really like and understand the distress of going to a laundromat. I recently lost money in a machine. Where I live you have to request a refund that comes weeks later in the form of a check. 🙄
The good thing about a nice professionally run laundromat is if something goes wrong it will be taken care of immediately. I used to go to one in a different city from where I live now. I have not found a nice one where I live now so I've just stuck to the property.
After becoming frustrated with all the hands-on-other-peoples-stuff folks at the laundry mat, I stumbled upon your original vid a few years ago. I never knew anything about portable washers before seeing your vid. I couldn't find the della brand in the states; so, I ended up buying a 2 cu sq ft auto washer that I hook up to my kitchen sink. One of the best decisions I've made!!! It cleans better than those laundry mat washers.
I live in my RV and discovered this from a friend this last summer and just love it, I also found a cloths dryer that works in my RV its called the Panda and you hang your cloths and then cover with the blue tarp and turn the heat on, It takes longer that the conventional dryer but in 3 to 6 hours gets them nice and dry. you can find it on Amazon as well for a nominal fee.
I got one and absolutely love it. I had to put it on cinder blocks but other than that, love it. Being able to spin is life saver.
Brilliant and yes it beats the laundromat!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cheaper
Your video also helped me decide to purchase a portable washer. I got the Costway one, though, but it seems like these all pretty much work the same. I moved into my first apartment, and this is the first time I have lived without my own washer and dryer. Going to the laundromat was a pain in the butt, and not to mention money. I see this thing is quickly paying for itself. It also made sense for me to purchase it because I don't pay for water at this apartment, so why not?!
Thank you so much for this video! I was worried this was going to be some cheap gimmicky thing that didn't work, but after a few uses, I'm really happy! I miss having a dryer, though, but you get over it pretty fast with how convenient this is.
I used your video as my recommendation to buy my portable washer. I absolutely loved my washer so thank you for your review. My apartment ended up flooding due to the mainline was blocked and when my apartment flooded, the washer motor was ruined. In my house I now have a washer and dryer but will be purchasing another portable washer for my kids. They loved being able to wash their own clothes.
Thanks for the 1 year review. Often times someone uses something, shows it but then you never find out how durable it is. An idea (which I do) is have a tension shower curtain rod in the shower above the unit (close to ceiling) to hang your cloths on hangers... I then have a fan in the bathroom that I run and it doesn't take too long for the cloths to dry...
That is exactly what I do. Now I just need 2 buy a portable washer and I am set.
After I saw your 1st video I bought The exact same one like a month later and I love it I hated having to go to my apartment office to reload a card and then go to the laundry mat and go up and down the stairs four times just to do one load of laundry 🧺 you save me so much time and now I enjoy doing laundry
Hey! I love your videos and your apartment looks cool!
I have a Della and love it . I have had it about a year and 4 month and it works great, the only thing is mine is a 11 pound machine if I had it to do over I would get the 13 pound machine . but its all good anyway. very happy . Nice thing is Its small enough that I can take it with me in my motorhome on the road if I am out a long time Best to luck to you. thanks !
Great video! I just ordered a portable washer!
These are very easy to repair...another benefit... I had a Maytag in the 80s and washed foe ten years 3 kids and 2 adults with no problem...had a little 110 dryer too...for a small home it was great...even washed my blankets...had a large spinner to spin them...
Bought mine 5 years ago. I love it!!!
Thank you girl. I just ordered me one. Great video.
I got one,I had mine since this past October & it works just fine for me & my kids & my Apartment don’t have washer & dryer hookup either
I love that I've found you ..... I love my little washer as well but I am going to look for the washer ball as well .... Thank You So Much New subscriber..... Hava Wonderful Day !!!!
Hello I now found your video. This machine is found in every home in my country it's the best 👍
I just purchased a portable washer and spinner and I love it! For lint, I add a dryer sheet to my wash and it seems to work. Before using dryer sheets, I used Beactive disinfecting wipe which also worked for me.
Would love links to all he Japanese laundry things you mentioned...balls, lint bag, etc. Thanks!!
I just bought one of these portable washer/spinner and using for the first time right now and I love love it so far. I bought mine for $35 at a discount store and I love it. Good idea about using rinse water for the next load.
Thank you so much. Watch your review the first time, wanted one then got to get one. Peace
AsiaticBW cool, did you get it?!
I am sooo in the market for this type of machine. I also live in an apartment (in the USA) and it does not have a washer/dryer; actually there's no where to really put one, but I think I've figured how I can store and use a portable one like this. Yours look a lot bigger than the others I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing.
Just found your channel today. Heck I say Any washing machine that works out for you I love. Your preference. Better than hand washing. In my teenage years living on my own, broke I sink wash everything dripped dry in the tub. So this washing machine is much better than that. Ty for sharing your thoughts and videos with us ALL. HUGS and Blessings from NY State 🦋🌠🌌🏞👣🌞. New subscriber to your channel today
A whole year later. Thank you SO much for this review. I live in an apartment with a nice laundry room, however, with the corvid virus, we are anticipating it will be shut down soon. Thank you for your review. I just ordered it immediately. I think you saved my life, certainly my sanity. Love from Montana and be safe.
I’ve used this washer for 2 years and I love it still going strong and very affordable to
U can find the Japanese products she mentioned in the video at Daiso. It's a Japanese dollar store. ($1.50 actually) They have several stores in Southern CA. Thr's one in Little Tokyo Mall (DTLA), Monterey Park, Torrance, Carson, etc..
I love Daiso! We have them in Australia too. I've bought all sorts of little useful things there. And storage boxes and shelves are so much cheaper!
I love mine also! I could've used your idea in my old apartment was a small
Bathroom n tiny! Now I use these soap sheets n softners
I set it up in bathtub have a lint trap to drain hose...
Love this machine the best idea ever!
Love the washer . I would buy one . THANK YOU.
Had mine over 2 years and I still love it!
I have the same machine. It's huge! I got mine January 2018 on eBay so I've had it just over two years now. It still works great! My teenage son and I both each use it a couple times a week. I use mine in my kitchen. I put it on top of a rolling furniture moving thing I got for $14 at Walmart. It fits perfectly and I can move it around really easily. My faucet spout can be pulled out of the faucet and I fill it up with that. The drain hose drains into the sink. It's definitely a convenience! I don't have regular w/d hookups in my unit either. I do have a coin laundry here but it's just really inconvenient and expensive. I have to leave and go outside to access it. If it's snowing, it sucks to have to carry a basket or baskets of clothes back and forth, and make sure I'm done by a certain time and that no one else is using it when I need to. I don't pay for water where I live. In fact, I've never lived anywhere in the 20 years I've been on my own that I had to pay a water bill. I'm in CO. There are lots of places that charge water here, I guess I have just lucked out. What I do to rinse it out is I put everything in the spinner and then either pour a bucket of water in it or use the faucet sprayer that pulls out and add some water into it. I then turn the spinner on. But I don't close the lid. Once most of the water is drained, and I can see the drain hole is empty, I close it and start it to 5 minutes again. That's a good enough rinse cycle for me. I don't like having a bunch of water in it either. I've done that accidentally. I also wanted to mention that I can fit a full/queen size comforter in mine! Getting it into the spinner is a really tight fit but it works. I actually ended up getting a duvet cover and using it with my regular comforter so I don't have to wash it that often.
Glad I saw this. I think this will help me. There’s a laundry room on my floor but the 2 washers serve 26 apt. Because of health issues I can’t walk back and forth if it’s in use. Most of my laundry is house cloths and under garments. I think I would fill mine up in the tube and just take it out to shower. It cost me $5 in quarters to wash, with my health problems it takes my energy for the whole day.
hey thanks for this video this is really useful and will be a huge help
I've had my Della for 10 months now..I love it! I do prefer to hand wash my undergarments in hot water in the sink and then put them in the spin dry, but other than that everything goes in the Della.
I been looking into getting one for my place there is a one washer and one dryer machines in my building but unfortunately you have to share with whole the building thanks for the video by explaining your portable washer I will let you know how my my searching is going with my portable washer is coming along
I didnt know these existed until I saw your first video. Snagged one for myself and its been great..no more laundry mats. I built a rolling pedestal for mine and drain it into the shower(I just have a standing shower no tub) so I could just roll it into position and drain it into the shower. Its so much better because the laundry mat machiens would always bleach some of my clothes(because of excess bleach being left over from the previous wash) or snagg them and rip them..and the Dryer wasnt really good for my clothes either..so hang drying has helped to keep them in better shape..especially the undergarments. Its all thanks to your original video too.
Its awesome... You are so Right ..is good to have a portable washer machine ..I love it
