You're so welcome! I appreciate your kind words & encouragement. I have other videos just like this one on my channel that you may find quite helpful ☺️
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much for making it I purchased a Qhomic 17.8 lb. washer for Walmart. It had both hot and cold water hook up. Was not sure what to do to hook it up to my kitchen sink. Watched many videos and yours was exactly what I needed to know how to hook up the hose. I truly appreciate you asking this video and I subscribed to your channel.
@@AlesiaDudley I'm so happy I was able to help! Please let me know how it all turns out with your new washer, so others can hear your review on the unit you purchased. Have a Blessed day 😊
Thank you Shelley, I really appreciate it! I don't know if you've seen the other Portable Washer and Dryer related content I've made, but if not, here it is! ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html Have a Blessed Day!
Thanks so much this was so helpful. You showed everything I had questions on. Mainly do I turn the water off after first wash. Now I know to leave the water on from the faucet. Which makes sense like a regular washer when going through the different cycles. Thanks!
This video was everything that I needed. It actually killed 2 birds with one stone, because this also gave me tips for my portable shampoo bowl at my home salon. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! Noted to cover drain hose with mesh and to clip down to prevent overflow. Can this washer or a similar one be connected to a pull-out kitchen faucet?
Do you have any favorites out of all the ones from from your Amazon account? I’m looking for an affordable one around $100-300s. I noticed u like both magic chef and this helo one. I did notice they’re all washers but I’d like a drying option as-well bc I don’t want to deal with a lot of heavy items like blankets/sheets or kid wet pads to dry around the house. Have a found a good option for that?
Yes, Magic Chef & Helohome are my top Favorites. As for a dryer that would be a separate unit, & I like the Magic Chef dryer. I've reviewed the Magic Chef on my channel as well if you haven't seen them yet.
Rachel I need your help on questions of the faucets that I only have , with which I don't think it'll be compatible with the or any portable washing machine? Could you please respond-- that'd be truly awesome. Thanks looking forward to Hearing from you. Lisa
@@lisalynnpetrocione7310 Hi Lisa, I'm not sure how much help I can provide in regards to plumbing, such as faucets, but I'll try. What's your question?
Hello Rachael, can you please tell me what type of quick connect faucet adapter I would need for the Haier QFW150SSNWW 24" Frontload Smart Washer? The link you have does not look like the white & gold adapter on the video. Also can you send me a link to buy the little spring attachment bungie and the red lint traps that you used in your video? Thank you
Hi, quick connects are standard, & this one came with it. I've linked quick connects in my description. I have affiliate links in my description & also pinned in comments. Also, links to my Amazon store where all things portable washers are linked. 😊
Here's links to the washers I recommend www.amazon.com/shop/rachaelxo I have Magic Chef reviews on my channel that you can watch. Yes, it has the hot & cold water inlets just like Helohome.
I know this is old but Whewww It’s hard to find reviews of these I bought mine around thee pandemic . I still have it and don’t regret it but it always bugs me that it doesn’t have a drain in the back to open/unscrew . The water pump works fine to drain up in my sink and it’s never any water left in the inner tub BUT That water left in the outer tub sloshing around always bug me ! I have a variant of this it’s automatic I want to know , Does yours have drain ? If not can u share how you completely drain the tub ..
I purchased a Life plus 1.8 cu ft washer model XQB60-2010A from Home Depot. The hose keeps leaking from the kitchen faucet. I tried calling the store but they weren't any help. Do you have a video for that?
I have a full size GE washer and moving to a small place and would like to make it to a portable washer with wheels. Can you give me a simple solution plz
Perhaps you can sell your full size washer & get a small one. I have a playlist for portable washers that I've reviewed on my channel. I go through each step, to help you choose a good option for yourself. I also link the products within the description of videos
I do have it on Facebook for sale. I've hade portable washers before. Disabled and on a budget. If I can turn this one portable it'll work for me. The gold and hot water are the same on both. Just need the part for the sink.
@@eloygarza1887hey there, trying buying a dolly and putting the portable washing machine on wheels. She mentioned it in the video if you would like to see what it looks like.
Yes, I really liked 2 of them the most so far. I do favor the Magic Chef that I used to own and use, it's an older model that is no longer sold. However, they do have a newer version of it both white and stainless steel amzn.to/3RV8JSi amzn.to/3RxE9i3 I also do really like the Helohome, and I actually still have it, and have used it a few times since this review. The customer service is amazing too, which is always important to me amzn.to/3L2F33v Hope this helps!
I'm thinking of just duck taping the drain hose to my sink. My drain also has a removable strainer. Is it enough to catch the debris if I don't use the panty hose?
I don't have a video solely dedicated to maintenance per say. However, I do explain in each of the videos on depth how to use. If they're properly used & taken care of they'll last a very long time.
That has definitely happened to us as well. The water pressure can cause the connection to pop off if it's not attached correctly. Sprayed me in the face lol, but after that I always made sure to connect it correctly.
I'm not sure what the filter looks like so I can't say. If there's something you can still connect it to, then yes. Otherwise there are diverters for the sink faucet so water can come out two different ends. Like this one amzn.to/3RqeIBr
It's a bit heavy, so depending how far or where you're trying to carry it. I have a washer dolly & it's the Best investment to make moving the washer so easy! This model does have back wheels, but I still prefer using the dolly.
I just bought a nictemaw portable washing machine. When I connected the inlet, it doesn't go through the machine it spilled out, and it doesn't wash when I load it .
Yes yes mine wouldn’t allow water in an then wouldn’t spin after adding water with shower hose. I got a refund without having to return. If you see this please respond as to what you ended up doing.
Hi There ,I hv the question ,when open the water from the sink ,’to the machine ,when the machine the water was full ,do I need the shut off the water or no need ?can u let me know If I hv the chance ,Thanks

How do you dry clothes in the magic chef 2 in 1 combo I seen you have a video on it but it doesn’t show how to dry I bought on off Facebook so it doesn’t come with a how to book
Hi There ,Morning ,I got a problem ,I can not connect the top part with the faucet ,because the size didn’t work ,I go to home depot ,Canadian tire ,but nothing ,Pls advise where I can shop 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello there! The same thing happened to my husband & I, it can be quite frustrating for sure! I then found a sink attachment set with several sizes that it comes with, which was a relief to finally find our size. Here's a link to it www.amazon.com/shop/rachaelxo God Bless ☺️
You're so welcome, happy to help! Here's some other portable washers/dryers I've reviewed as well ua-cam.com/play/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk.html
My kitchen sink has a faucet that sprays or comes out directly the connectors don’t And the magic chef three-point oh, don’t sit on to this faucet that should I do
Make sure your spicket sink faucet is the right size to fit that adapter mine is too small I've been looking for 3 days for an adapter that will fit my sink so far I found nothing I'm getting ready to send the machine back we went to to private plumbing stores and went to home Depot you can't get it at home Depot it does not exist home Depot has everything they said they could not help me find anyting to adapt 😢
I know how frustrating that is. We had the same experience as well. Then I found an adapter kit with several size fittings on Amazon. Here's a link to where I have it saved under the washer & dryer tab. Hope this helps. God Bless 😊 www.amazon.com/shop/rachaelxo
The problem I encountered at Home Depot was that they do not have even one single portable washer on display in their appliance department, so there is no way to actually SEE the adapter that comes with it to know if it will fit any faucet in your house. I actually found my exact FAUCET in their Plumbing Department and tried to get a HD staff member to look at the photos of the washer I WAS BUYING ONLINE FROM HOME DEPOT and even he could not (or would not ) assist me in any way. Our Black & Decker portable washer is about to be delivered any day and I am very anxious about it hooking up properly. I've added your link to the Amazon adaptors selections in case we need to order those.
It would jave bern great if you carefully showed the BUNGY thingy . Its important and video barely showed what it looked like. Is there a hook of some kind attaching to the sink drain????
Some sinks are not very easy to take off at all, I've experienced that for sure. Pliers is how I've done it. Some I believe open counter click wise I think. Hope that helps!
@@RenaneJamison I know it's only been an hour, but I'm checking on you. Hoping you've been able to get it off. I'll be praying you can remove it soon, if you haven't already!
I appreciate your concern, however I'm not completely sure what you're talking about. It's hooked up fine. I've used portable units in an apartment & have now in our home. Water is meant to go down the drain, not cause a flood. Drain your water wherever & however you feel to be the correct way.
I live in an apartment and I'm looking to possibly invest in a portable washer and dryer. What's the noise level? Because I don't need complaints from my Karen of a neighbor. 🫢
@@chasityvillela8869 It's really not that loud. I have a video on my channel of the units that I had when our Family was living in an apartment, & I had zero complaints from my neighbor. She said she didn't hear hear us and that we were quiet. All the units I've reviewed have been all the same in regards to noise level. They truly are a Blessing to have.
All my Favorites in one place. Find All product links here! www.amazon.com/shop/rachaelxo
Does the water stop filling by itself or do you turn off the faucet?
@@BigWiggerNoobTube it works just like a standard size washer pulling & draining water through the wash cycles.

I have found that panty hose catch very fine debris & do a great job at catching all lint.
Awesome! Video.
Thank you my friend! I have a few portable Washing Machine reviews on my channel if you're interested. Merry Christmas 😊
What's your opinion of the Black and Decker in comparison to the other brands you've tried?
What adapter do I need for a 1/2 inch diverter on my shower arm to the washing machine hose? My quick connector doesn’t work on the shower
If it has threading then you can screw the hose on just like the end of a water hose
What type of portable washing machine do you have, & would you recommend it? And why?
Do you leave the faucet on ? Then turn the maxhine on ? Or machine on faucet off
While the machine is on & running, faucet needs to be on.
Do you have a video on maintenance
I don't have a video solely dedicated to maintenance per say. However, I do explain in each of the videos on depth how to use. If they're properly used & taken care of they'll last a very long time.
I have the exact same faucet you have but mine exploded from the wayer when filling my portable washer. I have a Comfee washer
That has definitely happened to us as well. The water pressure can cause the connection to pop off if it's not attached correctly. Sprayed me in the face lol, but after that I always made sure to connect it correctly.
Ugh tried to hook up my quick commect hose sink turned on and no water came out. Pressurized so much when I tried to take the quick comnect off
That's happened to me before too. You have to turn off the faucet before taking off the quick connect.
I have a new costway portable washer with two tubs. Any help with water inlet adapter
What if i have a facet filter on my kitchen sink? Can i use that adapter?
I'm not sure what the filter looks like so I can't say. If there's something you can still connect it to, then yes. Otherwise there are diverters for the sink faucet so water can come out two different ends. Like this one amzn.to/3RqeIBr
Is it heavy, can I carry it alone?
It's a bit heavy, so depending how far or where you're trying to carry it. I have a washer dolly & it's the Best investment to make moving the washer so easy! This model does have back wheels, but I still prefer using the dolly.
Which full size washers do you have ?
Can you do a tutorial on how to fix the leaking from the sink? Mine is doing that & I have no clue how to fix it
I just bought a nictemaw portable washing machine. When I connected the inlet, it doesn't go through the machine it spilled out, and it doesn't wash when I load it .

What do I do when I can hook my washing machine to any of my faucets?
Hi, sorry I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Sorry about that. The washer can be hooked up to a faucet, or even a hose outside.
