The Laundry Pod Review & Wash Demonstration! Great For Wool / Silk / Delicates!

- I was given this laundry pod as a gift. I probably wouldn't have purchased one of these myself. But, now that I've tried a few washes through it, I've decided it is very useful. I always hand wash my merino wool and silk, and this makes washing a bit easier and also spin dries my clothes!

I am hunkered down with shelter in place and ordered this. Your video was superb!
I got the Laundry Pod. I had the problem with the machine move on the counter. I went by the local dollar store and got a rubber door mat for $3. It's big enough for the machine to rest on and reduces the moving a lot.
Linda W oh I like that idea!
Ahhhhh good idea! You'd think they would have designed it with rubber on the bottom to prevent that. I mean, the company had to have tested it out & seen it sliding, right?
Good idea!😃👍
Thank you so much for this super helpful, real-time demonstration and review! Yay for saving resources!
I enjoyed your review. I have recently seen a few manual clothes washers online & this one seems like a good option. Thank you for explaining thoroughly about the Laundry Pod.
I have been thinking about buying this for awhile now & now I'm sold I will be purchasing one soon!😁 Thank you for the review.😉
A superb demonstration - convinced me! Thanks!
thank you for this video. You've convinced me to buy a portable washer
I had the Panda washer and spinner, although it was electric, it worked about the same way. I used the rinse water, which usually had a bit of fabric softener in it, to wash the next load. I tried to wash 2-3 loads per 7-9 days, consisting of towels, undergarments, and regular clothes.
Looks like great idea for delicates and occasional item. Love fact is as eco friendly as can be. I saw a foot pump type on a narrowboat vlog so started Googling . Looks like the spin drying element definitely makes it superior to hand washing in conventional manner which if being honest haven’t done for years. Take care
This would come in handy should we have a prolonged black out and no electricity. My prepper instincts are telling me to purchase one of these non-electric babies! Thanks for the informative demonstration! I’m sold!😃👍✨💖✨
Or use it if you have a few items you want washed and not have to run a full load of laundry
I have been looking for a review for the laundry pod and came across your thank you i am on my way to purchase, you have done a great job on the review
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing!
This looks perfect for tough stained clothes that you want to soak in Oxi-clean.
Great video! I’m about to order this 👍🏽
Thanks for the demo!
I got mine for emergency use or travelling at home. We live in a cyclone prone area. I will do all my washing prior to a cyclone hitting, in my washing machine. After an event, this comes in handy to wash clothes daily, especially not knowing when the power will come back on. Outside of those two uses, it is great for fine underwear and nighties. Great to use during a drought or for all hand washing. A non slip rubber mat underneath keeps the little sucker from sliding around.
A damp hand towel or tea towel placed under the unit will keep it from moving around. Thanks for the review. I think rhat I will buy one.
I have used this it is great, tip on drying I have a dehumidifier closed off my bathroom to dry clothes. They dry in one hour; also I live in a pretty humid state. This still never affected my drying time one hour on the dot. Where the air is sucked in you can put a bounce sheet your clothes smell great. Many Blessings Mea 🙏💜
I have a dehumidifier. I'll have to try this.
Quick tip if you put a dryer sheets on the intake part of the dehumidifier your clothes and bathroom smells great
Nice review. I only have a couple wool items, but this is pretty cool. Nice to know you can do laundry when the power is out too :-)
Thanks man! I saw this product on sale and I was not sure if this is worth buying. Your video helped me reach the decision! :)
Alex Danilov Glad to help!
This machine looks cool it does van life or camping would be awesome for sure it save your hands an especially if it's cold weather it's not a bad idea to have one if washer breaks
That looks really great. I use a plastic plunger style washer but I have to manually squeeze out the water like you do when hand washing. I really like the spin drying function a lot. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the kind comment! Yeah the spin dry is awesome! I've seen other portable washing machines in the past, but they all left clothes soaking wet; I'd rather just use a sink. But the spin dry is awesome and makes this machine worth using!
Don't waste the water after you washed; flush the toilet with it.
Sven that's what I do. I have the Wonder Wash. It has no wringer though ☹
I really like that product U-Save on the electric bill. My mother bought me and apartment size washer that you wash on one side move the laundry over and it spin drys on the other side. It does not take much water or electric I hang up my clothes in the bathroom and they are dry within an hour or so. I live in an apartment and gotten sick and it was too hard to go to the laundromat which I didn't like to do anyway and I can just pull up a chair sit and watch the laundry wash move it to the other side and spin it out. If it had been me washing it I would have bought one like yours.
What a great solution!
Thanks for the video! I am just trying to see if this is a great unit to purchase.
Great review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your excellent tutorial using the laundry pod. I received a unit tonight from the peoples market(in trash in front of a store). Will be using it soon for regular wash. I will also try washing and drying large amount of salad(might be the ultimate salad spinner)?
Bruce the swimmer New Rochelle N.Y.
Thank you for the video. I just ordered a laundry pod and I'm looking forward to receiving it. I am hoping I can wash most of my laundry in small loads in it, so I can avoid paying for my apartment's laundromat. It adds up, even if I can just wash less in the laundromat that would be great.
same here! it really adds up
You need way more water than what you have in there man!
I know! The clothes were DRY when he opened it up the first time. Lots of suds, but they didn't touch the clothes. I have to wonder how well this really works. For two pieces of plastic, it is not cheap!
Amazing REVEIW thank u I’m going but now !!
Neat, you could probably get a set of rubber feet to put on the bottom to keep it from moving so much.
Might be great for a long road trip. Wringing out is difficult though I lived with, let's say.
Awesome!
I have a twin tub washer and spin tub dryer i just washed a nylon type bra and it was shredding on the edges i had to pull it off. After watching this i think it be perfect to wash panties and bra's even my nities as their usually thin material so thanks for the video i appreciate it. I hope their not to expensive.
This was gifted to me, so, I am not sure of the cost. But, I can say it does work great, is still working after months of use, and saves a lot of money in energy and saved clothes!
by the way for delicates you can use a salad spinner! thats what i used and it works great!
You can also get a mesh bag to put bras in and then throw into the wash. They wash clean but don't get shredded.
Can I do a bed sheet in this? It looks like it might be just big enough.
Nice video. I wasn’t going to buy this but your video convinced me of its usefulness, especially when I’m out camping. I figure it can also double as a salad spinner, which I need as well.
I'm glad it works But i wonder if after harsh spinning 🙈is still intact???🤔 poor spiner😩
Good video. Just be careful putting your wet clothes right next to that electrical outlet. Water and electricity dont mix.
Love it
This is the perfect washing machine for the end of the world no power needed One of these the size of a full-size washer would be incredible hand powered get some kind of gear system so you can spin fast to dry
Still waiting for that bicycle powered washing machine Gilligan had. Get a good work out while cleaning.
What is the size of the BASKET inside? please
can i wash jeans in it?
Can you wash a set of twin size sheets in this? Maybe do the flat sheet all the way and then the fitted? Thanks
Probably ok to wash one sheet at a time
If I got this how would I wash my bed clothes and towels? Or would I still need to go to the laundromat?
For sure would need a regular washer to do large loads like bed sheets.
Hi, you have done an excellent review. Thanks for taking the time to post it. This would be good for delicates, wool small items so one can stay away from a Dry Cleaner shop. Please post where we can purchase that product you use to wash the garments. Thank you 😇😇
Thanks for the kind words. This machine really is great! I still use my washing machine sometimes, but, rarely! I find this faster and easier, especially since most my clothing is wool to begin. It really saves money on detergent too! I use about a spoon full as compared to like a quarter cup in the regular wash machine. The stuff I use is called, "The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo Cedar". You can find it on Amazon or give it a Google search and can find it sold other places as well! Also, if you were talking about the laundry pod itself, just search, "The Laundry Pod", on Amazon or Google.
Earthling1984 Thank you so much for your reply. I will purchase from Amazon on my account😇😇
Use Top the camper fabric or the fabric if they put under rugs it’s spongy and it has a lot of traction
Great tip!
Vorrei sapere se la manovella si è rotta grazie
I really appreciate your review. I only wish you would’ve shown how dirty the water gets during a wash cycle. Does the laundry get agitated enough?
Sorry I didn't show that. It does depend, of course, how dirty the clothes are. This will not wash a ton at a time, but, it does a great job for small loads. If something is super dirty, you may want to wash twice (wash once with soap, empty as good as you can, wash again with soap, then do a couple rinses and drying spins). Any natural stuff like dirt has come off no problem for me. Of course, less soiled clothing cleans much faster and easier.
Do they have bigger sizes?
Not that I know of for this brand. But hey, give it a google search, maybe there are some good options out there that are similar and a bit larger.
VERY Cool...
So, it's been 5 years.....are you still using it? Do you still enjoy it?
Do you have delicate cycle
Power safe! :-) and good for young people to exercise their muscles.
fantamas06 even old people need muscles working
It would have been nice if you squeezed the clothes also to show just how much water is expelled from the clothes.
I want to get it, just curious about size. I want to wash my karate uniform. Uniform is pretty thick & heavy. I can do top & pants separately. But I want to know if it still works for my thick uniform.
Thanks . :)
Reina Blanca I have the same problem. I want to wash my son’s karate uniform but I don’t want to go to the laundromat every other day and I don’t always have money.
R Blanca yes it will do them both at same time seems like more I put into mine the cleaner items get maybe it’s the friction that the numerous items make together
This would work great for cleaning fabric grow pots full of fertilizer salts that could damage your regular washer.
do you still have your razorback musk and southern painted turtle?
I have the painted and reeves. My tank was too small to keep all my turtles so I downsized to these 2 which are both under 5 inches as adults and can stay happily together where they are. They seem to be great friends too, the painted is always sitting on top of the reeves while basking :P
Earthling1984 that's good that your turtles get along.
But dude, if you do 3-4 washes. One for an outfit, another for socks and underpants, another for towls, another for bed sheets. Then you already have used as much deturgent as in a regular washing machine :-D or maybe even more!
You're supposed to spin one way, then spin the other way. That mimics the action of a regular automatic washing machine. I don't know how big your sink is but I put mine down in the sink so it is held still and doesn't try to wobble around as I spin it. This is an excellent gadget if you know how to use it properly.
This unit only spins one way...
Bed sheets, or sheet one at a time?
Depends on size of bed. But probably one at a time.
lettuces are jealous, but I like it!
daniel vicedo lettuces?
Hi fav youtuber I ever wish I was your hedgehog
Hi! lol
How does this work for jeans or sweats? Also, is it cold water only?
You can use any temperature water you want. I mean I wouldn't put in super boiling hot water that may warp the plastic, but, warm to hot water is just fine. As for jeans or sweats. Well I have done items like sweat pants. Works just fine and they fit in fine. Jeans will work, but, one pair is probably about all you will get in there.
Thanks!
It's been almost three months since you posted the video; any new comments, feelings, etc?
Linda W Still working like new and I still use it a couple times a week.
Thanks again! I found a cheap price on Groupon and think I'll give it a try.
How many revs per minute ?
If I remember correctly, I think it spins like 4 times for every time you spin. So, a very good amount. I can easily spin this many times a second. So, it's probably anywhere from 100 to 300 depending how fast you go.
Good video- are you still using this product 2 years later?
Yes. Still works great! I don't use it as often as when I first got it. But, I still use it at times and it works like new.
Advice, to keep your clothes from any damaged, before putting in regular washer, take a pillowcase with zipper, put your bras, silk shirts and or other items inside the pillowcase, and put inside the washer! For sure your clothes will be safe! That's what I do with my clorhes!
Oh, by the way, this Pod Washer won't work for me, do to Arm and hand injury!
heck you can make one of those easy
I'm just curious if the clothes smell good after washing using this machine?
GOD is my Rock JESUS IS MY SAVIOR Of course. Soap and water and some movement is all a regular powered washer does too. Smell I guess depends on the soap you use.
Earthling1984 I absolutely agree with you. I've been experimenting on the detergents I'm using for the last two weeks. It's super humid in our country, the Philippines, during summer. I have to test some more on the detergents I bought.
THIS IS SO PERFECT...:) #THELAUNDRYPOD #SAVINGENERGY #SAVINGTIME #SAVINGWATER. I HOPE THAT THIS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE PHILPPINES I WANT TO BUY AND I AM SO EXCITED TO USE THIS. ANYONE HERE HAVE AN IDEA HOW WILL I BUY THIS? FROM PHILIPPINES?
Where to buy and how much?
I got on Amazon.
Do you still have it?
I do, still works. But, I admit it has been in storage for about 2 years mostly.
Will a full grown cat fit inside the washer ??
Oh, how funny--a joke about abusing an animal! Do you feel powerful now? Pity any animal you come in contact with. Get some help.
Just tried it with my chihuahua, she had a good time inside it. A full grown cat would fit just right
Quanto costa?
My 18 month baby boy would love this, I need a better way to bath him..
Just spin slowly.
@@earthling1984 🤣🤣
lebowski?
Where to purchase this cool machine?
You can get it online on Amazon or if you google 'The Laundry Pod' there are probably many other options as well.
Every hotel should have this in the room
do u still got reptiles
Team2100 Liteskin Yes, I do. I'll hopefully make some reptile videos soon.
its very nice👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but when you say, "Look at all the suds in there, it'll get all over everything and get clean". Please know, it's not the suds that clean, and a lot of bubbles is actually a chemical used that produces a lot of bubbles, not an actual cleaning factor. You don't actually need a lot of bubbles to clean well. But many people wrongly associate "more bubbles" = "better cleaning", when it isn't. But that is what the commercial soap/detergent companies have programmed us to think. Again, not trying to be rude, I just wanted to point that out so that you knew.
I already know that. The point was simply that you can see the soap is mixed in well everywhere. I only use natural shampoos and soaps. They don't make suds like store bought crappy chemical soaps. But, really doesn't matter. Just showing this cool washing gadget and showing that it mixes everything up very well.
My apologies. As I said, I didn't mean any offense by it, and wasn't trying to be rude. Not everyone knows that the amount of bubbles doesn't mean how well it cleans. I love the video, and I agree that it's an awesome product!
anyone that bought one of these, how long before it broke? thinking of buying one,
Mine still works. I only use it every once in a while though now.
@@earthling1984 I have 1 more question, I wear a size 52 waist bluejeans, about 1/3 larger then a regular size, does it seem big enough to just wash 1 such pair by its self?
@@robc1952 It should wash one pair just fine. I am on the smaller side, around 32". I can wash 2 pairs.
Wish they would have made it bigger. Good idea. But tiny.
A larger version would be cool for RV or even home use. But I do like this version for summer camping where clothes are smaller and they dry fast on a line.
nice review, but the egg washer is electric and does all that for you, automatically, so I tink I will stay with the electric one
johnmonk66 The point of this is to not use energy, and, be able to use it anywhere. Comes in great when car camping!
Earthling1984 I understand that, but I don’t wash clothes in my car and never spend so much time camping I need to wash stuff, I use it at home.
So why don't I just get a 5-gallon salad spinner?
You probably could. That is what I like about this over just washing in the sink. The washing is nice. But, the spin dry is what makes the difference. Wash in sink then use a salad spinner would work great too. Just make sure to get a very strong salad spinner. They are made for lightweight greens. Wet clothes are much heavier.
shocking that you need less laundry detergent in a tiny container compared to a washing machine with 10 times the capacity :D
hello
Hi!
I would have some concern that if the water did not cover the clothes, that the fabric on top would just ride around and not get any water movement, and therefore not get clean. For as little water as it takes, I think that covering the clothes is necessary. But follow the instructions. Additionally, he said he likes to soak the clothes, but that would be of little use if part of the clothes were not in the water.
You do NOT need 1/4 cup of detergent in your washing machine. No one needs that much.
silk bottom 💀
That isn't gonna do squat for cleaning clothes, and suds mean nearly nothing for cleaning power.
It cleans my clothes very well! I use it for all my wool items. Does amazing! Much better than just washing in the sink! Also, the spin dry makes my clothes dry so much faster! A great machine!
That seems like an awful lot of work, for only a few pieces of clothing.
Depends on who you are. I wear the same clothes (well, I have about 3 sets I switch off between) every day. So, I can wear the same pants and over shirt for 2 days. Under clothing for a day. Since I don't wear a huge variety of clothing this works great for me. I have a video called, "I wear the same clothes every day. Why". You should check it out!
Dude. The water isn’t even covering ur clothing. All your doing is making bubbles. There no water to soak in??? Why don’t you be REALLY DARING and use 2 PITCHERS of water.
I bet your clothes would be even cleaner. You would get rid of even more soap residue.
Too much work
It's actually very fast and easy for me.
Just dump the water out god
Too much work...talking too...Geez!
M. Henderson Not much work at all. Also, throughly explained. :)
Earthling1984 ok...Happy Holidays
