I wish I knew about this when I was in an apt. Walking up and down stairs with 2 small kids and a laundry hamper is not fun. Thank you for sharing this!
right! i am so blessed to have it
Just a suggestion, they come with hot and cold hoses for if you have hookups. When you are connecting it to a sink, you can cap off the "hot" connection on the back of the washing machine and only use the cold side hose, and control the temperature with the sink tap instead.
Whaaaaat?!?! When I first got the machine I bought two hoses but it was too much trying to switch between both hoses lol so I've been using one hose for both. Honestly I've always been considered wondering am I messing up the washer doing that. Glad you told me that . I don't have to worry about it messing up now. Thanks friend 💕
I didn't have hookups when I initially purchased this, but do now. I suppose bc I used the sink to control temp I didn't keep up with the second hose. Would it work to just switch the one I do have to the hot side on the back of the washer, then switch the other side of the hose from the cold hookup to the other one, which I'm assuming is hot? I would only need to use the hot once a week or so, and I'm on a shoestring budget, so if I could make it work with the one hose I have, that would definitely be preferable!
A friend of mine told me that you only have to use both inlets if you have the hook ups. If you don't have hook ups and you use your skin it is okay to use hot water in either inlet. So I never unscrew my hose in the back when I want to use hot water I just turn on hot water and when I wanna use cold I turn on cold using the same inlet if that makes sense . Or you can buy an extra hose
@@BlessingsForTheBards I do have hookups now... So does that mean I definitely need two hoses?
No you don't need to hoses... but if you want to be able to use hot without disconnecting then I would say get a 2nd hose. But if you don't mind disconnecting each time one hose should be fine as long as you make sure the water your not using is turned off before disconnecting
I'm going to be binge-watching your UA-cam videos on the washer and dryer off and on all day; thank you for posting
Awesome ! Thanks so much for watching let me know if you have any questions
2 twin = 1 king. That’s big then ! Mine a tad bit smaller. Ty for info
Hi Adrienne I had a full size washer in my apt if u go to ur hardware store they have a y hose u connect 1 to the cold and 1 to the hot and then u connect it to 1 hose and u get to use hot or cold and I had a full size washer in my apt and when my friends came over they couldn't believe that I had a washer and portable dryer in my apt good luck girl
Hey Debra! Look at you stopping by with all the tips and tricks! Thanks so much friend. I will make some time to go to the hardware store to talk to them about getting the Y hose! I never heard of it but I bet it'll be much more convenient for me thanks again friend God bless you
I have had a washer hooked up to my sink for over 20 years right now I have a full-size front loader hooked up you can hook up any washer to a sink when the washer says portable it is because it's on wheels or small enough to pick up. Because your washer is hooked up to the sink you control the temp with the sink NOT the washer having said that it will fill up faster if the washer is set to warm that way it draws water into both inlet hoses. I have 6 children(grown now) and it was a money saver
Ohhh wow I didn’t know that. I will definitely try the warm water tip. It has definitely been saving me so much money. So glad to hear that you have used one for many years. Makes me confident that I too can use mine for many years :)
You know that you can purchase a Y hose connector, so you can attach one hose the cold water inlet, and the other hose to the hot water inlet. Your main hose can connect to your sink. Y, Y, Y, connector. Y make your life hard. Go to Home Depot or Lowes. They can help you make your life a whole easier. 😢
Great so u can wash a,queen size quilt on this washer ..that is great ..
Great video

I have the 3.0 it’s much bigger and I have the panda dryer as well
yessss! In your 3.0 can you wash a comforter?
@@BlessingsForTheBards yes long as it’s not a heavy one I wash my sons twin and my queen all the time.
Great video and thank u for sharing I can't wait to get one soon
You should! You will love it and it will save you so much money
@@BlessingsForTheBards yea im going to have to look into it
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching! so happy to have you here. hope you are having a good week :)
I have a question so you said your sister in law puts the liquid inside the tub I’m asking becusse I just purchased the 3.0 and I’m hearing it only takes powder .,.? Or I can use liquid as well
You can use powder or liquid. Just no pods . My sister used liquid for quite some time but she said she stopped because she disliked pouring the liquid directly on the clothes. The dispenser on the washer is only for powder detergent but if you decide to use liquid you will have to pour it directly onto the clothes. Hope this helps
U won't need 2 hoses anymore w a y hose only 1 that will hook up to the y hose hardware store will help u good luck girl God bless u all
U have hit n coke connection so u need the two hoses but person who is controlling the temp not the machine don’t need the two hoses correct?
Yes just one hose connected to the sink not 2.
So helpful, thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this video I’m getting one
Yaaaas so excited for you. Let me know how you like it
those "little black things" are also called "washers" lol. and they create the airtight seal so the connection won't leak
Lol I found that out the hard way after I threw them away 😫
Thanks for Sharing, this helped me. BTW the basket attached to your faucet with the blue brush.Please tell me where you got it.

amazing review :)
Thank you for watching
Thank you. 🥳😌
Thanks so much for watching ❤
I love it!!!!! My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting one. It’s a great investment and saves time and money. Is the washer and drawer from the same brand? Where can I get this? Home deport?
Thank you so much for your comment. I got the washer and dryer from walmart but it appears they're sold out. The dryer is a panda 3.5 the washer is a rca 2.0 it appears walmart is sold out but Amazon seems to have them in stock hope this helps
What’s the clothing difference btwn bulky and heavy?
I just purchased this washer. Sadly the normal cycle does not rinse, or gets an error unrelated to the problem.
Have you ever had any issues yourself? So far the bulky cycle is working amazing.
When you get the error message what is it showing its usually something like "E9" or something. What does the book say the error code means?
Hi, good info. I have this washer but, after a year of use it started to leak water from the bottom onto the floor. I saw your video about changing the drain hose. Do you think that could be my problem?
Yes that can definitely be the problem especially if you're moving it back and forth it could have ripped or come loose
@@BlessingsForTheBards Hello, thanks for getting back to me with your comment. With my washer it sits nicely right next to my kitchen sink so I never need to move it at all. Like I said before after a year of use it started to leak from underneath onto the floor, it still looks new. I didn't see all your videos just that one and was wondering if that was why you changed your hose, but I see from your reply that wasn't the reason. So now, I don't know whether to have it fixed or throw it out, or if the hose is causing this leaking problem. It looks like the repair people only repair well-known brands like whirlpool, maytag, etc. and don't have the parts for my brand.
@@glory.123 hmm have you ever opened the screw at the bottom of the washer to let the water back there out? That could be it. I did it in one of my videos. Also even though you haven't moved it it still could be the hose because the hose is a plastic type material . I would say change the hose before trying to get rid of it. Here is the video on how to empty the water in the back of the washer ua-cam.com/video/zYirF0b7V2Q/v-deo.html
Yes. I empty the water regularly, the instructions says monthly. I may try replacing the drain hose and see what happens. I also see water coming out on the sides too, plus in front from underneath. How long have you had your washer if you don't mind me asking?
I've had mind for about 5 months. Have you called customer service to see what they say it could be ? I think they may even offer a service where they have someone come look . Either for free or you may have to pay
Was it hard to change out the drain hose? I don’t know how to change my out. I see clips but Im so afraid I’ll break it
In my opinion it was easy. I hope it will be easy for you also
Can you tell me how to fix the E3 error code on the rca portable washer
E3 either means that your lid is open. So when you washing a load and you need to pause it press pause but don't press start until you fully close it otherwise it'll give you the e3 error code. If it's giving you that code without the lid being open push the lid down and hold it down and see if that takes the code away if it does that may mean something is wrong with your lid and its not closing properly or it means that you're putting too much clothes inside which is causing the washer too be unbalanced so make sure you spread the clothes out evenly
I’m thinking I can’t just get this 2.0 instead of 3.0 uhmmm wat u think??
I would have liked to get the 3.0
Any idea where i can get a replacement hose, that has the proper adaptor? (that connects to the sink faucet)
Hey Friend. You can get a replacement hose from amazon. I will have the link below

I know you said quilt, but how would a Queen size comforter fit in it????
Hey Walter I have heard people put comforters but they say they have to stop the washer and turn it
Do you have to turn off the water once it fills the washer ?
Hey girl. No you don't need to turn the water off just leave it running the machine will stop the water from flowing in when it's time
Zdaaayum okay okay nice video wow thanks very informative
Thanks for watching
Why the RCA and not the Black n Decker? Is it because it’s bigger?
Edit: also, you don’t use those agitator balls to help or agitate more??
I did a lot of research when I was looking into buying a portable washer. I can't really remember what made me pick this one. But this one is nice and big and since I've had it everything had been working amazing. Thanks for watching
Hi no I do not use the agitate balls.
@@BlessingsForTheBards ahhh… 👍🏿 okay! I’m in between the two machines I’ve listed. It’s just me, with a king size bed and I don’t know which one would be the best one to buy.
If the black and decker is bigger than this rca 2.0 then I would go with that if your planning on washing a king sized comforter . I have a quilt
Have you ever used the spin only on the program cycle?I have tried and the machine comes on and it sounds like it's spinning but it's doing nothing.
No 😫 ill try it and let you know what it does. The spin cycle is only to get extra water out the clothes
@@BlessingsForTheBards I know it seems like mine needs to spin again the jeans feel heavy
I've somehow lost the mesh filter thing. Do you have any idea if I would ruin it by running it without? I do still have the larger piece it goes in, which seems like it would keep larger things from getting through. I've checked around to try to find replacements but haven't had any luck yet. And kinda need to do laundry lol
Aww friend I'm not sure. All I can say it you would have to try
Are you talking about the filter that goes inside the washer? To catch the lint?
@@BlessingsForTheBards YEP!
Ohh I would say you can still use it. When your water drains where does it drain intk
U should of bought the magic chef u can get part's I heard u can't get part's for the RCA portable washer try Amazon good luck
Have you tried a different detergent like liquid or pods to see if there is residue? These washers may not do well with the powders. Could you be using too much powder?
My experience with my portable washer is powder beats pods. You can use less, good for a smaller tub. I also hv a tiny portable dishwasher 18 inch wide. I don't use pods, I use powder or liquids (when I can find it). Use less, save money, no soap residue
@@lindabowser7451 i have an 18" dishwasher too. Why do powders clean better?
@@joshcurtis295 in a small dishwasher, a pod just might be way too much soap. And you aren't using any soap in that first wash. I tend not to fill the cups up entirely bc my water isn't that hard. So far good results
My sister in law used pods and she didn't like them because she said the pod would stick to one article of clothing and leave a residue. So I just opt for powder
What do you think about a full/ queen size comforter?
I use a queen size quilt and it fits comfortably. I don't think a queen size comforter will. But possibly a full size
@@BlessingsForTheBards thank you 🙏🏾
My Question to you is can you wash your blankets in this washing machine? I'm a single mom of 3 girls and it's very convenient for me to invest in a good washing machine where I don't have to drag my kids out in the cold specially in this pandemic and I live a complex.
Hi Latoya, it really depends. If you're trying to wash comforters then no. In my house I got rid of our comforters and bought quilts because quilts are less bulky and fit amazing into the washer. I know some people use duvet covers that would also fit but a thick comforter nahh they actually have my same washer in a bigger size I'll find the link

And you know wat thank you cause your right Comforters are bulky cause ima always every wk heading to the big laundromat to wash them so I'm going to get rid of ours and get quilts, I never thought of that and it makes sense too. Yes this washing machine is perfect for my family and I. You answer my question and thank for motivating me cause I fall into depression at times and I don't have any motive but recently I came across your channel and I play them as I clean n do everything in my apartment and it gets me through my days so I truly appreciate you you are a child of God that came into my life to up lift me when I'm down. Please continue making these videos cause you get me on tho God bless you and ur family 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awwww ❤ ❤ ❤ you are so sweet. I am so happy to have you here and you just encouraged me and motivated me to keep going also. I'm so thankful to have you here. Hope to continue hearing from you in the comments section of other videos. Let me know when you get your washer ❤❤❤ so happy for you. Thanks again for all your sweet words. God bless you and your family
I definitely keep you posted with that and yes you will hear more from me I'm not going anywhere lol 😊 I'm here to stay 😁
Can denim like a jacket or jeans be put into this washer as well?
Yes ☺️
I don’t like the filter for this one it’s extra work. Mines don’t have that bag it’s easy just grab lint n done. I have panda 1.34
You might be able to fix that slow drip with some Teflon tape around the grooves.
I'll have to get me some because sometimes if I'm not watching the slow drip it'll turn into a puddle. Thanks for sharing that.
@@BlessingsForTheBards I hope it helps with your drip.
Can u run both at the same time without it being a power outage
Yes you can i do it all the time :)
You did mention 3.0. Would you still recommend the 2.1 over the 3.0?
When i purchased the 2.1 I didn't know the 3.0 existed I would have gotten the 3.0
@@BlessingsForTheBards I tried looking and seems there sold out on Walmart 😭😭😭
@@beautybarloungeandnailsllc yeah amazon has it but for $100 more 🥴 maybe if you keep checking walmart website over and over it'll have them in stock. I think the 2.1 is good. But I think the 3.0 would have been way better. It'll be worth the wait
Can you use warm water on one of the adapter?
Hey Jamie, yes just connect the hose to the cold water inlet and then turn on both cold and hot water faucet and warm water will run thru the hose. Hope this helps
Love your washer machine is better do laundry at home
It really is!
So a queen or king thick comforter can fit?
No
Hello! Does your washer randomly stop in the middle of the cycle? Just got mine and it stops when there are like 27 minutes left and then we have to restart the cycle
Are you getting an error code like E1 or something
@@BlessingsForTheBards no error code, it just stays on the number. like if there are 27 minutes left it stays on that number for a while and doesn't do anything
Hey girl what kind of powered detergent do you use?
I got the foca powder detergent from sams club. It's like the Mexican brand of laundry powder. I've also used all free and clear laundry powder
Does it vibrate a lot or make a lot of noise? I really want to buy it but I live in a second floor apartment.
no, they r pretty stable.
I agree I don't think it will bother neighbors
Hi, do I need to keep the tap running during the overall washing cyle?
Hi yes you do. If I'm washing from 8am to 3pm I'll keep the tap on the entire time even when it's draining I leave the tap on and the machine stops the flow by itself and starts the flow by itself. I hope that makes sense.
@@BlessingsForTheBards I understand. If my apartment has a water valve closet. Am I able to use that faucet rather than my sink?
Yes I think thats even better! If it has both hot and cold use both hoses. If you use it on the sink only use one hose connected to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer
@BlessingsForTheBards thank you! I'll see if I can do it myself, without calling a professional. There aren't any videos with the water faucet hookups. So, I don't want to mess it up and mistakenly flood the house
Hi, so the RCA washer is sold out everywhere. Do you recommend another Brand?
Such as black and decker? Costway?
Do you suggest a longer hose for filling & to empty? P.S. I’m sorry I was not feeling well...
Hi Nancy, I have a longer hose for both filling and for draining. That way I don't have to move the washer and it can stay in one spot. I'll link the hoses below . Hope you had a good week and a greater weekend. Thanks for watching 💕
