😂😂😂😂😂 I got kids and I don’t own a car at the moment and I’m really not trying to pay a cab to take me there and back so it was a must for me to invest in a washing machine when I got my first apartment 💕💕💕💕 just wait until I actually own a house
I live in an apartment with no elevator and I'm arthritic. It was a hassle for me to climb stairs not to mention going into an unsecured basement without security cameras and an unsecured entrance to the building. My son gifted me with this exact model and I'm thrilled with it. It washes really good and it practically spin my clothes half dry.
The HomeLabs portable washer has been a game-changer for me. I’ve had mine since summer of 2021, and I am in love with it. I actually have anxiety about what I’m going to do if mine ever shits the bed 😆
I want to say a big thank you for saving me from going to the Laundromat with this machine. I have this machine but the hose that comes with it doesn't fit. When I came across your video and watched it, I went straight to the home Depot and buy what you said. I'm telling you, this machine is working great! Thank you once again and I recommend this machine to anyone that lives in an apartment or anywhere small. This machine is really good and saves me time.
I have a GIANTEX brand washing machine for my suite and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! It saves me so much money and time and effort. I use one Tablespoon of liquid detergent per load and cold water (I use HOT for towels, etc). The hydro cost is $5 a year!! The convenience for this is immeasurable ❤❤
There is a "Softener Box" in the balance ring, really easy to see when you open the machine and see 4 drain opening on top of the tub ring. It is advisable to pour the softer in the beginning if you are using program 2-Standard, 3-Fast, 7-Wash & Rinse and 8- Rinse and Spin. These Programs have only 1 Rinse cycle and works fine. If you are using a different Program that has double rinse like 1-Normal, wait until the machine finished the first rinse, pause, add the Softener to be released in the final rinse. It works Great when one is Air drying like me. GREAT Machine! I am Really Happy with mine. 👍
“Towels come out cripsy” 😂 Yeah I grew up in an apartment with only a washer cause dryers were a fire hazard (government housing). And we had clothesline and luckily i lived in a dry climate so it was wayy better to air dry anyway. We didnt care we put our underwear out there, no one ever stole our clothes.
Thank you so much! I am buying a portable washer right now. I live in a one bed with shared laundry and it sucks! I am going to the laundromat tomorrow but hopefully it will be the last time. Thanks and great video!🙂🙃
The reason I replaced it was only because I found it at a tag sale and I dont know how long it had been used for. But I bought another one same brand new. They are soo reliable.
Thank you so much! Wasn't sure if I could leave the water going during the entire cycle. My manual (for a Comfee Portable Washer) didnt explain that...THANKS GIRL ❤
Thank you so much for this informative review and how to!! So this is the 12lb version? I'm trying to figure out what size i need to be able to wash a set of queen sheets :)
Great video, any chance you can take a picture of the part number on the new hose you bought? Haven't been able to find one yet. And maybe a picture of the sink attachment when it is not attached. Cheers and thanks
Hi! I just took the hose the washer came with to my local hardware store and asked them to find the correct hose for me. also unscrewed my faucet head and brought that with me to show them the size. they should know best :)

my mom and I have this washer and the same issue with the hose not connecting to the faucet. Do you know if manually filling the washer once is good enough for the fast setting you demonstrated in your video or does the water supply have to be running to the washer the whole time? Thanks for any feedback.
I'm skipping a standard washer and dryer and getting these..I have an actual laundry room, but I don't feel like paying 600 to 1200 for a set for one person's laundry. They have portable dryers, too.
Hi I noticed it says air dry on the washer.. Does it dry the clothes and how long/cycles does it take to dry.. I would really appreciate your info.. I've been needing one for a while now but I want to make sure to get the right one.. lol. Thanks for sharing
@@lilpeeva thank you so much for replying. I'm definitely going to do a little more research before getting a dryer..but I like this washer though.. ♥️😁
The clear film should be removed, if it's anything like clear film in cars it gets crispy with age and can kinda melt into the under-surface and damage it
wow, portable laundry machine, didn't even know this was a thing. this is great news cuz buildings with in-unit washer/dryer is usually roughly $2000/mo higher than apartments that do not. but what is the difference between normal mode and standard lol ?
Hi. Great video. I was glad I fond yours on you tube. Helped me understand the programs. Now I am wondering how you were holding up the drain tube in the sink? I quickly saw kinda stick holding it but it went too fast. Thanks in advance for your help. Jacques from Montreal
PS:- When I use fabric softener, my towels aren't crispy at all. Not as soft and warm as using a dryer of course, but still nice and soft enough for use.
@@lilpeeva Definitely use the fabric softener then! 😅 It's best to add it right before it rinses but when I'm lazy, I put everything in at the beginning.
Fabric softener reduces the amount of water your towels can absorb when you use them to dry your body. Don’t use it on towels! Use white vinegar instead!
Hey thank you for this video!!!! I just got one! However, when I finish washing, there’s still extra water in the machine in the bottom that I can’t get to how do I drain that water?
Prety cool hey, Gonna use the same. Our landlord like "good&kind" man put 4.50 for washing and 4.50 for drying, so f**k that ! I want to have my own now, its lite, we can move out of here and take it easely.
My apartment washing machine Constantly breaks down cuz of stupid people putting thing's That doesn't belong in the machin Examples they put wire coat hangers in the washing machine what the f&#( is wrong with some people 😔
@@lilpeeva Neat. I'm surprise you got yours for $50!?! What a steal! Offerup in my area the full-automatics ones all go for $100-150 used. Only the used semi-manual twin-tub washers are around $50.
Your so funny but your information is great but my god I never heard of Giantex lol but you actually make it seem like it would be worth a try if I needed a washer
Ok so I bought the same one and on the back in the hose connection says we can't use hot water do you know if this will mess the washer if we do run hot water?
i usually only do hot water, however i do not use the hose that the machine came with. I bought another one from my local hardware store that is metal so maybe it can handle more heat.
Hey I just bought this but no instructions. When you leave the water on, does automatically do a rinse cycle with the wash options or do you have to press a setting for it to do that? Thank you! :)
I LIKE THIS AND HOPEFULLY I WILL HAVE ONE SOON. I HAVE A SWEET IDEA TO CREATE MY OWN DRYING MECHANISM. I WOULD CUT A HOLE CONNECT TO FIT A DRYER HOSE THAT FITS OVER MY HAIR DRYER. OR PURCHASE A 3-TIER DRYER CLOSET AND CALL IT A DAY.
I have a question i always need to disinfect clean my washing machine in the inside once in a while. So say I sprayed the inside of my washing machine with Antibecterial spray then i rinse it with water. Is there a button to just drain the water that i am rinsing myself on the drum to clean it?
Looks like Lara Croft , it’s sad they don’t send laundry turtle in U.K. and never used Amazon US and get chartered all these feeds to import stuff from states . Take care x
Why can't we just put the hot or warm water with a regular bucket?? Does the machine know that we didn't use the hose? Does the machine have a brain to know the difference? Really, I am curious, that is why I am asking.@@lilpeeva

What is the different between normal and blanket cycle?
Fabric softer creates a nasty gunk inside the machine and ruins it. It should never be used in a washing machine

good to know the air dry works i haven't tried that cycle yet 🙇🏻♀️
@@lilpeeva it works but you gotta hang the clothes up and they'll be dry quickly
Great product review. This sounds good for apartment living 😊
thank you :) its amazing!
Girl you just changed my life. Thank you 😭🙏🏻
:) ur welcome!
I got this and the portable dryer. I do hang dry clothes but then put them in the dryer to fluff them up. Esp towels, socks and bed sheets.
good idea..i shall try
What brand dryer did you get? Would you tell pls?
Thank you so much! Wasn't sure if I could leave the water going during the entire cycle. My manual (for a Comfee Portable Washer) didnt explain that...THANKS GIRL ❤
ur welcome :)
Thank you for this! The manual doesn't mention this stuff!
My apartment in Connecticut doesn’t have enough space for a washing machine and the laundry is expensive for no reason so I’m getting this for sure!

Thank you for your tutorial, but the title says washer and "dryer???"
it comes with an air dry dry cycle!
To make towels softer add vinegar

How many cu ft is it plz
im not sure 🥸
Hey thank you for this video!!!! I just got one! However, when I finish washing, there’s still extra water in the machine in the bottom that I can’t get to how do I drain that water?
thats odd, i've never had that problem. what machine do you have?

I feel like the cord is too short and the hoses that it comes with
Can you wash one big blanket or sheets in it?
yes i wash my queen size sheets
Thank you, but you didn't mention if the dryer worked at all.

I’m cryin when u said towels come out alil crispy 😂
😂 its uncomfortable when guests come over
The towels are coming out crispy because you are using too much detergent. You have to use significant less detergent than a typical washer.
Yes
Why doesn’t it wash I’ve ordered it but it doesn’t wash 😢
what do u mean? it's broken?
Please be careful with Giantex. I personally know their not honest.
soooooooo useful. time saver too!

Yes
