- PORTABLE TWIN WASHING MACHINE TG23 | HOW TO & UNBOXING!! | WASH ABILITY TESTS
Hello There!!
Here we are yet again, with another awesome portable washer review! These machines are total life saving game changers! In this video we will cover the unboxing, setup of the portable washing machine, how to wash using a portable washer, and thoroughly review the portable unit to test how it washes, and what it is capable of washing. Including how loud the washer is, how much can it wash, and how well does the portable washer clean the clothes. This portable washer is great for small living spaces to do you laundry like in apartments, condos, dorm rooms for college campuses, RV living and traveling, it would work great for a tiny home, and even efficient for camping due to it being light weight, or more like for glamping.
If you're not already apart of our UA-cam Family, then we'd love to have you!

I no longer want to be associated with TG23 after being very mistreated by their company and their customer service. I have since found the same machine that another company sells amzn.to/3DbLy2f
These videos have been my latest obsession lol
I know what you mean, when I found out about portable washers I watched so many videos lol. I've got a few for you to check out if you haven't already 😉
Mine too lol but I like to watch people get excited too wash in them. I have a kuppet version and I have had it for close to 3 years. I will never go back to a regular washer, these are way harder for my autistic son to ruin lmao
I'm just a big Ole kid. Lol... I can watch gadget videos all day...
Same because I’m waiting for my giantix fully automatic washer to come and I’m just watching these videos
Oh my, I have my own and every now and then I'm obsessed with watching.
# 6 is if you want to rise your clothes in the spin cycle. It will fill up but you have to take it off the drain cycle. E.g. after you wash, you can take the clothes and rise them in the spin cycle. You can rise while it spins or fill it up and then spin it with the drain on. I prefer to just do my rise cycle on the wash side and just use the spin cycle for dying. Good video and great tips with the agitation and detergent before adding the clothes, I’m going to try that. Those instructions are misleading but I suggest people look at tons of videos which can be tricky because some people give the wrong information. Use caution. I absolutely love my machine. Again, great job.
"some people give the wrong information"; yes, such as repeating the word 'rise' when they likely mean 'rinse'...
What I use when washing clothes and if I put to much soap I add white vinegar to my clothes during rinse cycle. The vinegar does get rid of extra soap and makes clothes smell fresh and clean.
I have to say, your video here is top-notch! I'm super impressed.🏅 You do an excellent job of walking everyone through all the steps, & I really appreciate how you thoroughly explored (& explained) all the aspects of the machine. Thank you so much for uploading!! 👍
You're the sweetest, thank you so much for your encouragement, it means a lot! 🤗
@@RachaelXO for water reservation, grandma in the pre 1970's would reuse the water.. whites first, then light then dark.. never bleach, only baking soda
@@RachaelXO ut oh..she had 2 washtubs,, for the wash water & rinse water
@@mjkay8660 We all do what we can with what we have! Good for Grandma! :)
@@mjkay8660 Yes, the two tubs was neat to work with, and worked very well. I really liked reviewing this unit for sure! Here's some other portable units I've reviewed as well ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
This is the MOST helpful review of a portable machine I've seen and really answered some questions about the durability and actual capacity for my needs. I'm probably going to get this one, thanks for uploading and sharing!
So happy I was able to help! I have reviewed other units as well that you may want to check out to know your options 🤗
I find it works best if you wash your clothes then spin them before you rinse. Then put them back in the wash tub and use nothing but water or water and fabric softener to rinse. Then spin again. I really like my portable washer.
Note: make sure to was your washer at least two times a week by running it without clothes using a diluted bleach and water mix. If you do not it will start to smell.
what is the max we can wash?
@@cupidok2768it says 3.5kg but that’s a big push for a well done wash about 1.5-2.5kg x
This is one of the best reviews ive seen! Thorough and to the point!! Yea...its 3 years later but my hope us that they have updated some things with this machine. So glad i saw this!!!!
Thank you for your kind encouragement ❤️
You need to put the drain hose back in the up/hook position while rinsing/ spinning to keep it from draining on the rinse cycle. Then when you want to spin dry place hose back in bucket. It is a gravity drain system.
Also note that she has it set to drain while doing that. I owned a twin tub (full sized) in the 80's.
Now this is how to do a review u were on point thanks a bunch
Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏
EXCELLENT review!!! Thank you😎
You are so very welcome, and thank you for your encouraging words 🤗
I grew up with a twintub washer. We would fill the wash side, wash, put the washing in the spin side, drain the water back into the wash side, for the next load, add cold water into the spin, spin, with the outlet over the drain, add more cold water, but with added conditioner, and spin into the drain to finish. We would repeated until all our washing was completed. It is always best to start with whites/cleanest, then reds and finish with darks, as the water can colour over the wash cycles... Also, the plastic device in the spin side is to hold, and keep the clothing in place...
These machines are so neat, and I didn't even know portable units existed until like 2018! They are honestly just awesome, and were such a Blessing to our Family when we lived in an apartment. I still have a portable washer to this day and have used it several times when I've needed to, like when my full size was acting up. I appreciate all your thoughts, as it is always helpful when others share their experiences and what has been easiest for them.
picked mine up recently and i love it! game changer for us RV folk!
These machines are Total Game Changer! I honestly love portable units, & they work just as good as a full size in most cases. Here's some other units I've tested & reviewed that I really like

Thank You for an excellent review of this portable washing machine. You are extremely thorough and very helpful in explaining everything necessary to make this machine work well. The way you do everything will make this machine last a long time.❤👍
You're so welcome, and thank you so much for your encouragement! I truly love helping others out and sharing what I know in hopes for it to helpful to someone else. I hope your have a wonderful weekend! 😃
Thank you so much for your thorough review. This washer is really nice, will order one. 🌻❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for your love and encouragement 💕 Yes, this washer is so strong, efficient, and super cute!
So helpful. Thank you!
I always feel so blessed to help others out any way I can! I have a playlist of other units I've reviewed if you would like to watch them to compare some options ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll be happy to try and help! Have a Blessed day!
Thank you?! Very informative!!
You're very welcome, and thank you for the encouragement!
I purchased one like this as an emergency washer in the event of a catastrophic event and I want to thank you for the product demonstration.
They really do come in handy! You're so welcome my friend 😊
I just came across this video while looking for reviews since I’m considering getting myself a portable washing machine, and I really love it! This looks like an ideal machine, and you’ve reviewed it brilliantly. Great work.
Excellent channel BTW! 🙌👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate you! Portable Washing machines are such an awesome blessing to be honest. I think you'll really enjoy one! Here's a few others I've reviewed so you can weigh out your options ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
@@RachaelXO Hey, thanks for this sweet reply! (Hope this response isn’t too slow, this last couple of days I’ve been busy watching the Indy 500 and the F1 as I’m a huge motorsport fan, LOL)
Wow! That looks like a pretty impressive list you’ve made. I’ll check the videos out and see if there are any other machines there which I like too.
(If I do decide to buy one of those models and they happen to be made in the USA, I’m hoping it won’t be too difficult to do since I live in the UK, so I’m aware that there might be extra shipping costs and we use different mains plugs, etc. But if I’m honest, I actually prefer USA-made washing machines since they seem to be better build quality and I actually prefer top-loading machines.)
TBH, I’m needing a portable washing machine because I tend to wash smaller loads of clothes more frequently, plus I move house a lot, so it would just be perfect for me. 🙂
Thanks so much for all this advice!
@@TrueCrazyLion Hope you are doing good my friend! Yes, for each washer I've reviewed I leave the Amazon link at the bottom of it. I don't know for a fact, but I believe Amazon would ship to you. Let me know if you have any further questions, always happy to help!
The spinner would hold water if you hadn't got the wash dial set to drain. Just put it back to wash and it won't drain.
Came across your video after researching these machines. I found your video to be extremely well made
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to say that! I have reviewed several other portable Washing machines on my channel as well that you may find helpful 😊
@@RachaelXO thank you Rachel!!!
Looks like our first washer in Japan. It was so cute and also washed well. It was a culture shock to see the tiny machine after North American sizes. There are huge machines in Japan as well for people with bigger homes. We got one of the big super tech ones later. Going back to the mini again and a simpler life style once a new place is found to settle in. What a savings on wash! You’ve got to hang everything washed in that mini of course, Also the bigger wash items, such as blankets, have to be brought to the laundromat.
Yes, these machines are so amazing, and wash so incredibly well! I found out about them the last year we lived in an apartment, and my only regret is not finding out about them sooner! Most of them work just as good, if not better than a full size unit. You're right about blankets other than small throw blankets, and comforters needing to be washed at the laundromat, but other than that it'll wash everything else. It's priceless to be able to wash anytime in the comfort of ones home. I have other portable units I've reviewed as well if you'd like to check those out as well ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
@@RachaelXO Will take a look and show your link to others later on. We need such reviews. Super helpful. Thanks!
@@galespressos Thank you my friend, I appreciate you! Pray all is well!
Very informative video. I am considering purchasing a portable washing machine and your video answered all of my questions and concerns. Well done. Louis, Los Angeles CA.
Thank you, always happy to help! This video is 1 of 4 portable washers I have tested and reviewed. If you're still interested in exploring your options, please check out the other videos on my channel 😊
Thanks for a great video I just used my mini washer for the first time today.
You're so welcome, & how exciting! I hope you enjoyed your washer as much as I did.
I have a similar washer, just a different brand. Since I live upstairs I set mine up in the bathtub, and have it sitting on a rubber mat to obsorb vibration. And having it in the bathtub makes draining it much easier. No lifting heavy buckets.
You're Awesome Samantha, you've thought of it all my friend! If I still lived in a apartment and had this machine, I would do exactly what you said! Thank you for the comment my friend! Here's some other units that I've reviewed ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
That’s how I use mine.
One more thing: You press down the wet stuff in the centrifugal dryer, but mine came with some tips including to never do that. Mine works best if you try to spiral the laundry around the outside edge of the spin dryer, so they climb the wall like a cinnamon bun. The clothes come out a lot dryer that way.
I did a praise dance when you mentioned cloth diapering 🙌🏾
This little washer seriously packs a punch! It washes very well, I really enjoyed reviewing it for sure! All portable washers I believe would do a great job, the ones I've reviewed on my channel would at least. Check out my other washer videos when you get a chance so you can see other options available.
I like the review
I love my portable washer. Mine has an electric pump. So I don’t need to put it up high to drain out I put in toilet. I also bought some little floating lint Catchers and they work great
Yes, they're so neat. Which brand/model do you own?
@@RachaelXO g
Cuxuxcuududududududud
The floating lint catchers are very useful in capturing lint. They minimize needing lint rollers on the dry clothes.
Rachel what pump did u use?
Best review ever😊🙌🏼
Thank you so much, I appreciate you! Happy Easter 🤗
Mum used a half broomstick to lift clothes out of washer into spinner. The spinner hose is fed back to washer by hooking it on and this way you can reuse same water without having to drain so much each time. Lots of fun.
See your Mum knew what she was doing with that broomstick, really helps to have a stick. I remember someone within one of my reviews comments thought me using a stick was the dumbest thing, but hey it works great and makes plenty sense to do it this way. That's also a great tip on saving water. I would then run some clean water after, to get a fully clean rinse, but for a shorter duration. Thank you Karen for the comment. Here's some other portable units that I've reviewed ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
Love all your videos... For all your portable washer machines learning how see fun how to wash the clothes love it ..I watch .love all the advice's ..I have portable washer machine I do the same testing products love it ..its fun to wash ..its better than regular washer machine
Thank you so much for your kind & Uplifting words, you're very much appreciated 😊 Yes, these portable units are Awesome, I really like them as well, & they work so well!
Ty for doing these videos so glad I stumbled on your channel. My son and I live with my parents (b/c the cost of living in our area is crazy). I've been debating getting a portable washer b/c with 4 ppl all trying to use the same washer/dryer gets hectic
I'm so glad you did too 😊 Yes, there are so many different options to choose from as well. I've done reviews on others too, in case you want to check them out to compare with others. Let me know if you have any questions on any of the units I reviewed, and I'll do my Best to help!
Honestly? To much Honestly :) Good luck and thanks for sharing 👍
I bought one very similar but different brand, mine is Nictemaw, and it comes with a lint trap. I am so happy with it.
Very nice! I'll have to look it up. I'm looking for good recommendations to review. Thank you 😊
Of all the vids like this, you're the only one who demonstrates spinning & rinsing the clothes at the same time. Most don't rinse let alone rinsing while spinning. Who wants soap residue on their clothes/skin? Nice job.
Right! Soap residue will lead to dry itchy and problematic skin issues! So glad I was able to help! Thank you for your input. If you're not already apart of our UA-cam Family, then we'd love to have you!
it seems a very funny job for all those boring afternoons one usually has. anyway it must be interesting washing like they used to do in 19th century. very nice video!
I just bought one about a month ago and I just love it. I’m 82 and in a small apt
I'm so thankful it's working out nicely for you! It's such a Blessing to be able to do laundry anytime within the privacy of your Home! 🥰
I just got a portable washer just like yours. I love it. Mine also said it came with a lint trap, but it doesn't have one. Great video
So glad you're enjoying your new portable unit, they're the coolest things ever! lol It's amazing how well they wash, and totally worth the money! I left in the description lint traps that'll work. Thank you for dropping by to say hello. Hope you're apart of our UA-cam Family, if not please consider joining!
Thanks for the video. I am from Netherlands and my sister living in Canada.
Totally different world. In Netherlands, we never ever wanna worry about buying a portable version.
But I have to find one solution for my sister who lives there in CA.
Finaly a solotion for my sister,
Thank you sister from another mother :)
Yes, these machines are truly such a Blessing to have and are literally life changing! Washing laundry at a laundromat is so time consuming and expensive! Here's some others that I have reviewed that I hope will help you have a decision as to which one is the Best for your sister :) ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
O yes its great is always a way to wash
All my Favorites in one place. Find All product links here! www.amazon.com/shop/rachaelxo
I have a similar machine. You need to hook the emptying hose onto the side of the machine in order for the the water not to drain out while you fill the spinner area. Then when you've got the desired amount of water put the hose back in the bucket or tub... then turn the spin cycle on. Hope that helps
I was using a $1 plunger and a large drink tub. It's a bit hard to drain, but makes your clothes clean!
I don't even need one of these, but I thoroughly enjoyed your video 🙂
Awww Sheila, thank you so much for your sweet words and encouragement, it truly means a lot! I've actually tested and reviewed other models as well if you're curious as to what's out there and available these days 😉ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
fyi: never forget the sacrificial sock
☺
1st off I want 2 say I really like all your videos and how well you present them and show everything. Out of all the washers and dryers that you have tried which 1 would you say is best? I prefer 1 I can wash a queen comforter in and 1 that doesn't run my water bill up too much.
I have the same ..its great
Yes, I really liked it as well!
I have the Track Life Brand and love it so much! Ive had it for almost 5 years...I only use cold water and never over load it and like you .....little soap...I only go to laundry mats for the comforters....we are still saving alot on these small babies....:)
These little washers are such a tremendous Blessing! They pack a powerful punch, washing clothing so well. I was really pleasantly surprised by how awesome such a small unit could be. Portable washers are truly amazing & were such a Blessing to our Family when we lived in an apartment. I don't know if you've seen my other videos, I show the one we used when I found out about these Portable Washing machines existed ☺️
I am impressed with that Persil detergent! That teaspoon made a lot of suds, I use the liquid, and it just takes a tiny bit to wash a load.
I love Persil! It lasts forever! I found out very quickly that only 1/4 of the spoon was needed lol. Such excellent detergent for my whites, stripping towels, or really deep cleaning older clothes.
nice
Thank you 😊
Ive had this washer for 5+ years. I don't use it regularly tho. But it's great.
Tip- use the spinner wen the washer tub is still full. The shakes won't happen. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! How large is the machine? Plz what size sheet on the regular bed you’re washing.
I love the honesty. I like realistic review. Your daughter is adorable.
Thank you, I appreciate you. I'm not completely sure as to what the dimensions are, but I did link the product so you can check that out. As for the sheet it's a queen size 😊
Can you do a review of the magic chef 3.0 portable washer?
Have you tried using the air dry on standard not drain? That may be the reason why it’s draining while rinsing. Loved the video, very thorough thanks for sharing
It drains regardless of the setting when spin drying. I have the same washer.
Very well done and comprehensive review. Wasn't the washer section on the left side before? Is this another machine with the washer section on the right at 28:35? Also, no one seems to mention the mid spinning cycle they mention in the manual. Are there 2 spinning steps?
It's the same machine. She probably was using the selfie camera on her phone. Note that the borax was flipped.
I have had mine for about a month. I really love it but mine came with s lint trap but NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LINT TRAP CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO ASSEMBLE AND USE THE LINT TRAP
Try spinning B4 u rinse again. It does help.
Awesome video! What did you do to align the spin cycle?
Thank you so much! I actually show & explain within the video how to do that 😊
The reason why it didn’t fill up in the spinner could’ve been because the drain hose was down. I’ve seen other people’s reviews on similar models and it is lifted when being filled
It honestly truly doesn't. I spoke for a very long time to customer service, along with reaching out to customers of the machine. You're right though, that's why it was so confusing to me too lol. It wouldn't hurt to try, but from what I experienced not sure.
@@RachaelXO yea that’s weird lol I recently purchased my magic chef 1.6 and I love ittt. I relied heavily on your videos on the older model!!! How much did you like your dryer? And what size was it?
@@mauroflores9820 That makes us always happy to hear, so glad we could help! I loved loved both the washer and dryer. Honestly couldn't rave about them enough lol. I would have to go back and look at my video to see the size because I forgot lol. We moved in a Home since and have full size. However, the machines are worth every last penny in my humble opinion.
If you're not already apart of our UA-cam Family, we'd love to have you
@@RachaelXOI'm sure you've figured it out by now but you still had drain option selected from when you drained the washer side. Great review btw. 👍
New subscriber 😊👍🏾📸
Awww Thank You my friend, I appreciate you! I pray you are doing well. Here's some more portable units reviews I've done that you can check out when you get a chance :) ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
May I ask what camera you used to to do the wash of bed sheets? Everything is on backwards mode.
You mention wishing it had a lint trap. My model does, and that's the only difference, but it still isn't good enough so I bought a "Flower-Type Floating Washing Machine Lint Filter Bags". You should get one or two of those and add to your wash cycles. They're a big help.
Yes, I'm pretty sure that I read that it was supposed to come with one, & not for certain but think I mentioned the lint traps that can be purchased. I appreciate you letting us know how yours works!
Your video is complete and helpful. The machine requires you to make a sloppy mess trying to complete your clothes washing; however. Good that you have it outdoors. Foe an additional $100.00 or so, you could get a more convenient better quality machine.
I have seen people use machines like this one by placing it in their shower or tub, and then the mess isn't an issue. I really did like the machine overall, and being that I used it outside there wasn't an issue. Here is a playlist of some other units I've reviewed to give you some other options that are out there ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
Links are in the description of each video! Thank you for your sweet comment btw
I've had this for years, and the manual fill doesn't go well with my ADD. I used to keep it on a table over a large tin basin so it would never flood my bedroom, and now that it's in the bathroom and I want auto-fill, I'm buying an arduino and working on a circuit that times a motorized water valve so I can push a button and it'll time a full tub and then shut off the water. Mine is a Panda model, but it's the same thing. Many companies make this identical product, with tiny finishing differences, like the knobs.
That sounds like it'll be really cool, and very well thought out! Please let us know how it goes 😁
I have an auretech which weighs 33 pounds. I love it. Have near my clothesline. Can wash and spin and hang on line. My favorite appliance.
Hey Vicki, I found 2 different Auertech Portable Washers, and I'm curious which one you have and recommend!
Option 1: amzn.to/3P8219P
OR
Option 2: amzn.to/3BYdYMr
Thank you my friend!
@@RachaelXO both of those are 28 pounds. Mine is 33 pounds and bought it through Walmart. I don't purchase from Amazon. The 33 pound 1 has a pump for draining out water. It was $242 when I purchased. It is larger so can wash more clothes.
@@vixxcottage I saw that they were only 28lbs so I wasn't too certain those were the ones but thought I'd ask anyways. I'll try and look again to see if they carry it. Thank you for the recommendation 😊
How did her washer get on the right side of the machine and spinner on left when most of the video the washer was on the left and spinner on right? Is it a different machine toward the end of video?
I rinse my laundry in my tiny washing machine on the washing side not the spin side. 🤔 🤔
They are made for apartment and small trailers or now mini homes. You are supposed to put it in front of your kitchen sink that's why you have 2 inlet hoses attaches to all sinks and supposed to have the attachment to go into your sink to drain. Most models will have a hook on the end of the drain hose. I used to have a Hitachi model and we used to store it in the closet
1. You need to full the machine with more water so the clothes willl be free to wash.
Then put it in the dryer with water running in the spinner to help wash out the detergent.
3. Then fill the machine with water and wash.
4. The place in the dryer and hang dry.
These machine works well.
We have been using these machines for years in the Caribbean.
Great content! After the wash cycle, a full load of clothes can be split into two groups. The first group is spun, to remove much but not all of the soap, and then rinsed in the open spinner using either the showerhead or water from a clean bucket. The silo shape of the spinner compartment lends itself to the falling water removing the remaining soap residue. The first group is then spun to extract the water, and then removed for hanging, then the process is repeated for the second group of clothes.
Some twin tub models have a separate water inlet for the spin section, allowing for a water rinse during the spin cycle, but the connector can be a pain to hook up to a water source, so many users opt for the showerhead or bucket instead.
Many of these machines experience issues over time, such as with a motor or capacitator. The user can then repair DIY, or get a replacement. Amazon typically doesn't offer protection plans for these at the time of purchase, but Walmart or Home Depot typically have this as an option.
During the spin cycle, I like using the hose with a funnel.
Rachel, how is the wash tub on the left side at the beginning, and on the right side at the end? Or am I hallucinating, lol? Oh and by the way, I have a portable washer and the lint trap is built into the wash tub. Great review and demo.
Hey Elaine! No, you're not hallucinating lol. It's because I don't have a fancy camera as of yet, but will get one when I can afford it. I use my old lil' camera phone for all my video content. We use what we have lol. Thank you.
I’ve had a model almost exactly the same as this one for exactly 4 years and 1 month, I finally have to get rid of it, I got mine back when it was only 109 dollars, best investment I’ve ever made
There's no valve on the spin side like there is on the washer side, so to fill the spinner with water to rinse you need to lift the hose and hook it up on the side then drop it again to drain the spinner.
Maybe put a medium size rolling plastic garbage can for the water to drain 🤷🏿 1st comment
That may work 😊 water is quite heavy, but if it's a sturdy heavy-duty trash maybe it'll work. Let me know if you try it!
Maybe you need to put the machine on StandarD instead if DraiN when you spin rinse.
Mine had a lint catcher in the inside of the washer
Hi, Just one question. Does the machine, heat the water. Or just use, cold? Simple clear instructions. Thanks..
Hi, I did this particular machine outdoors like "camping" type style, but for my other videos that I'll provide you the link to, I use the sink. Through the sink you can regulate the water temperature with your hot and cold faucets. ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
Why is a different machine used in the later portion of the video?
Hello! I believe you did 4 videos of different washers, which one you recommend MOST ? And LEAST ? Thank you
I would say my top 3 are Magic Chef (not the combo), Helohome, & the TG23 but not the TG23 because the sellers for it are so unprofessional but I did link another seller with exact same machine.
Here's the playlist for reference ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
👋 hi ~ thinking of investing ina Portable Washing Machine Washer.
TFS ❤ Very Helpful ~
I hope you got the Lint Filter,
kind of IMPORTANT!.
I Like how your "soap spoon"
coordinates with your Machine 🤣lol
💕😊sk
You are so welcome my friend! Always glad to be able to help others in any way I can. Yes, lint traps are very important, and something I have always shared with other in all my washer/dryer reviews. Most of all my reviews, other than the Magic Chef units, were used only to review in hopes to help my audience. We live in a Home now, so now have upgraded to full size units. When we did live in an apartment, our last year we learned about portable units, and after much research invested in the Magic Chef set. They were such a Blessing to have, privacy and convenience is such a luxury to have! Here's a playlist of the units I have reviewed so far so you can see some different options available out there! Please let me know if you have any further questions, and I'll do the best I can to help! ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html

I shall 😊
I’ve actually had one of those. It broke after about two months.
Fabric softener gets rid of the suds
That's a good tip to knew
This 1 us a lot of wrk i rate Panda #1 eith portable washer/dryer
Because you have the machine setting on drain… that middle knob works for both sides. That’s why it keeps draining.
We call this type of washer "manual washing machine" in Philippines, and we've been using it eversince.
I really liked this washer! The Magic Chef we first owned is my favorite, and this one comes in as my second favorite to use. Such great units
Hi! I just watched your video and I couldn't help but notice that your setting was on "drain" when you were filling up the spin tub. That's probably why the water came out straight away instead of staying inside to rinse.
Nope, "drain" setting has no bearing on spinner side. It has it's own, open drain. And you just have the water spraying onto the clothes while they spin, if you use that inlet. That side will not fill up at all, not meant to.
I wish I could pin your comment to answer so many comments. Many have told me I had it on drain, or I should have lifted up the hose because it runs off of gravity. Some will stop draining if you lift the hose, that is true, but not with this one. I mean, this isn't my first rodeo with portable washers lol. Plus, I called the company after trying everything, as I mentioned in the video. Appreciate you weighing in.
Why is the spin basket on the right side at 2:05, the left side at 2:35, and back on the right side at 5:05? 🤔
You can also add your clothes first then fill it with water to just 4inches from the bottom of the drain hole inside the unit at the top then add your laundry detergent. I place my unit directly into the bathtub, fill, wash, drain, and spin the unit in there using a handheld shower head I can hang from the side as it fills. You can just spin your clothes without adding water to the spinner. The point is to get all the water out of the clothes and filling it with water is redundant. The centrifugal force of the spinner removes all the excess water. Unit weighs 21lbs empty.
Putting it in a tub makes it really convenient for sure! Thank you for all your helpful suggestions.
Do you normally wash in cold water?
Would love to know cost and brand.
Love your washer! I also have one and came up with a solution that helps prevent your clothing from getting tangled into a large wadded up ball during washing, check it out! These machines love to tangle clothes lol! But they are so powerful.
Nice, I'll check your video out! I really like this model, it is so powerful and works excellent
@@RachaelXO I think it’s the best one out there lol!
You have to turn the drain off when you fill either side
The spin side would hold the water if you put the drain hose up.
Why didn't you take the plastic off the vents on the lid?
I've brought this but I can't stop the machine shaking like crazy when I have it on Spin??
Try watching my video again if you get a chance. You'll see how I corrected that issue 😊
You need to have the clothes evened out and press down on the spin cap as much as you can
Hoover had these back in the day like 46 years ago my mom washed clothes in bathroom
Yes, another one of my viewers recently told me Hoover has been around since the 70s, that truly amazing! I really wish I would have found out about them sooner! I didn't find out about them till the last year we had lived in an apartment, and it was literally life changing! It really made life so much easier. So now I love sharing about them with others, in hopes to help other Families in need out as well. I've since reviewed several others ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
Does anyone have any tips for removing pet hair from clothes in your semi automatic? Some don’t have lint traps, and unfortunately mine is one of them.. would love any helpful ideas!…
Hello there @CurrentlyUs ! I did a little research for you as to what people use to remove pet hair from their clothing and lint traps for the washers.
It can be helpful to first try to remove as much pet hair from tops and pants if possible before washing them. You can accomplish this by using an uproot lint cleaner amzn.to/39oFsz6 or lint remover roller amzn.to/3QjMs0Q
amzn.to/39jZ6fH
To trap lint within the washer itself, there are a few favorable choices from what I see as follows:
amzn.to/3txfgsE
amzn.to/3zARNur
amzn.to/3aMOki7
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll do my very best to answer your questions!
The machine has enough room to add more clothes, just increase your water you can feel around to see if there's enough water for agitating.
When the water gets too high it sloshes around and right out of tub. I wouldn't add too much more of anything. What I put in is what I felt comfortable with, both clothing and water. Everyone else is able to do what they choose to of course. This is just what I found that works best, in my opinion, and would recommend to others.
Those socks 🤣
Did you ever find the lint trap?
No, this washer didn't come with a lint trap. I believe it was supposed to come with a throw in the tub type of lint trap, but it didn't.
