    We have one of these washers and absolutely love it!! We use it 5 or 6 times a week, 3 to 4 wash loads per day. After a year of constant use it's still working like brand new!!

    I bought one almost 1 year ago. Works great and lightweight. Do not overload or has a difficult time washing/spinning out. Worth the $$$.

    Two years ago, in my sticks and bricks, when my full size washer quit, I purchased one like this (top on mine is different color). It is still going strong.

    Thank you for mentioning us. Very cool! Very surprised at how dry our clothes get in that spin dryer. We have been using ours for a year and it's really durable. Takes very low wattage and can easily run on a solar set up. Every 3 months or so we do take the back off and clean out the filter and stuff that that collects in the hose after long term use. Other than that, we use ours 2 days a week with no issues.

    A lot of folks are using those now. Pretty amazing. I'm almost certain that what you save at a laundromat would pay for it in a year or two. Then add the convenience and its Absolutely better! They wont last forever but that's the trade off for the small size & lightweight. Great video Patrick.

    Everyone I know that has used this has abandoned it. I hope it works for you guys. I use a bucket and a Paracord line to dry. Really small loads I use a pretzel container I shake just keep shaking. You can do laundry and get your arms shredded at the same time.

    Good demo, but could have been shorter. Nice machine. I have a spin dryer from Laundry Alternative online. However, its a pain to spin dry in there since you have to rearrange clothes to get the right balance, multiple times. What impressed me here, was that you just dump the clothes in, and spin. No arranging for balance. Nice feature!

    Wow, what a great little washer. You could run it inside or outside too. My guess is you could do one pair of jeans at a time in the spinner. But you could wash one set of clothes one day and wear them the next. Two uniforms is all you need... LOL..

  • @chaosncheckt9356

    Nice idea but I'm pretty sure we're not willing to give up space in our 400 for it. Just returned from a two week trip around Florida (cut short when the State closed all State Parks) and on most of our stops, we were advised we could not hang clothing to dry. We could hang our towels but nothing else. We were told this as a new policy as many visitors to the parks were Snow Birds/long term visitors and hanging clothes to dry outside would give the appearance of a trailer park and most folks didn't want to see their neighbors laundry hanging outside. I do like the laundry strips; we've always taken laundry pods, but we're switching to the environmentally friendly laundry strips.

    • @TravelswithDelaney

    You forgot to put the hose back up so it didn't rinse your clothes. It's a gravity hose so any time its down it dranins the water. Also add a bit more water. I have one similar.

I have a 26 lb. 18 lb wash 8 lb spin and wash side fills up fast using hose to faucet and can also use hose to faucet to do rinse/spin - rinse / spin on spin cycle to get more of the soap out and then back to wash side for final rinse then over to spin cycle for final spin/ dry .
