Excellent review. I thought 26 mins was going to be long but you touched every aspect that is important and relevant. Thank you!
Thank you so much for showing this washing machine and explaining how it works. I've been researching these for about a year. My washer and dryer is located in basement and its 3 levels down so taking smaller loads down is getting harder as I'm aging. So I appreciate this review!
It’s washing and drying or just washing?
This was a really good review. Thank you for taking the time to give such a thorough walkthrough. I may just buy one of these. It looks impressive.
Best how to and description video Ive EVER watched. Thanks.
This has to be the best review on this product I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you
Thank you for the information. I just bought one for my daughter used but like new with no instructions you are the only one I have found on UA-cam that explains the best. Thank you again.
I have the exact same washer here in my apartment. It does a great job. And saves me from toading clothes to the laundromat or laundry room
Is it loud ?
are you still using it and any problems?
What’s the price of this machine ?
I could legitimately listen to your voice all damn day. Thank you for a great review plus being so soothing.
Very good video., very complete. The most detailed one that I've ever seen. I've just ordered this machine.
Writing from California: Thank you for sharing. I wish these were available when I graduated from college and lived in an apartment. I would have done anything to avoid going to the laundromat. Still do :)
i relate to this on a spiritual level

Great video on describing the use of the machine. Fabulous job!
Nice little machine, sounds like a Microwave oven! The lid does look a little fragile.
Very good demo/review.
I bought a small one for washing small items. Living in the desert, clothing gets sweaty frequently and hand washing was getting old. I've not received it yet, but am looking forward to the end of hand washing. For large items, I'm glad I have the luxury of a full-sized machine. And yes, good review. Ibaisaic keeps a much more tidy home than most reviewers.
I appreciate your demonstrations on these machines these are really cool thank you for your time
Thanks for the great video Roger!
Laughed really hard when you read the instructions. Bloody hell that made my day
I've got the Leisurewize twin tub machine same as yours which I use weekly. It does a good job but this machine looks far easier to use as it is automatic so I will probably be looking to get one of these in future. Enjoyed watching this video, you always explain things clearly for anyone who is thinking of buying an appliance, many thanks :)
We just bought one of these and ran into the same problem of not being able to fit the inlet hose to any of our taps. Because we were most likely to have this set up in our bathroom we decided finding an adapter for the shower hose would be the easiest and my goodness it was.
Straight away we found an adapter at Wickes, by the brand Primaflow in the plumbing section. It's an angled appliance valve in the size 15mm x 3/4", it comes with a nut on the end you would attach the shower hose (don't need the nut), this size fits any standard shower hose. The end that the inlet hose fits on to was a little tricky to get on at first, the threads seemed to not match up, but with a little patience and force, they fit together perfectly (this may have just been ours).
All we have to do now is unscrew our shower head and screw the inlet hose with the adapter on it and ready to go!
I hope this saves some people some time and money trying to find the right one.
Thanks so much for this - saved me getting the lathe and a set of dies out!

Chris Lee “‘ooo
Would you be able to share the link? I typed ‘angled appliance valve 15mm x 3/4’ into Wickes and a few things came up
www.screwfix.com/p/compression-washing-machine-valve-without-check-valve-15mm-x/51231#product_additional_details_container would this be the same thing, just not angled? Screwfix is just over the road but I’d have to drive to Wickes. Thank you so much for sharing the shower hose tip 🙏🏽
Crystal clear-many thanks!
I just got this machine and it is really great. It wash my clothes really clean and the spin cycle is freaking awesome. Ot spins my clothes almost to dry.
How much water does it use in total
Right,it's like a lil jet broooommmm
Got one for Christmas thank God cuz it was the best thing it was the best thing
We just received this lil machine & I was wondering how to install the bottom cover..this video was super helpful, THANK YOU!
I have this same washing machine in my travel trailer. I created an 18 inch wide space beside my bathroom vanity. I hook it to the faucet. I sit a trash can over in the shower and drain the water to keep from over powering my plumbing system. The tub is a really nice size and holds a good amount of clothes and water. Very low noise. It's an excellent machine. I love all of the settings. It does a great job.
very detailed review, shows a lot info i didnt get anywhere else, like how many adjustable feet.
thanks a lot.
Thanks for this demonstration. I've yet to unbox the thing, and wanted to be sure I would do it correctly.
So glad we can now get these here in the UK.
Student accommodation washing machines are up on the list of the most disgusting things ever. £4.40 for a 30 degree cycle that lasts 50 minutes and the clothes come out smelling like egg.
Plus there are some body hairs in the door that you probably don't want to find on your white shirts.
Going to save up and get one of these hopefully.

Really enjoyed this, it seems like it would be a very handy machine for many people. I would be very careful not to overload it, and it would be nice if a variety of faucet connectors were included. Superbly professional video as always.
David galloway
You are right.
It doesn't come with faucet connectors.
You order that stuff separately.
I still have mine, and so far it still works.
Awesome video, Thanks !
Looks like a good appliance
yOU HAVE THE BEST INSTRUCTIONS I HAVE SEEN
I have done 4 loads now with this model. it works fine and i am impressed with the spin cycle. if you overload it, it will shut itself off. its nice and light, easily moved around. it does however have a small leak and i havent investigated it yet or found the answer as to what it is. hopefully its just a matter of the drain hose connection needing adjustment.
Love your socks!
Ty so much for the detailed review. It's exactly what I needed to know, just still confused which adapter I'd need for the tap connector.
Great review and walkthrough. I'm in the US, and the same basic model is available under several names. Mine is the Magic Chef 0.9 cu ft Compact Washer. That model is better as it will work with the lid open, but otherwise, it' has the exact functions.
This model will wash and rinse with the lid open, but it will not spin until the lid is closed as a safety feature.
@L Forbes OMG we have the same name I'm L Forbes too!. My daughter has the Magic Chef it's a much better machine.
The Austin Powers of reviews 🤙
Because he has British accent?
I am currently planning the remodeling of the vacation home we got by my husband's grandparents. it's a very small house, narrow kitchen and narrow bathroom. it's really a challenge to rethink the rooms without making you feel cramped or boxed in, or just able to move.
a washing mashine like this is on the list of things I want to have built in there.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me
Excelente lavadora muy práctica para apartamentos pequeños y para llevar a la finca.
Thank you so much for uploading
Well explained thank you
best review video for this item. Thank you
Works for me , and I'm getting another one soon.
My old school from a few years back used to use this as the school washer
It’s a good little machine I’ve had it for a while I replaced it with a different model but for that amount of laundry you really need to use the high water level not medium or small I don’t even know why they put those two options on there it’s a very small washer and certainly for a duvet and two pillows shams high water level would be the best. Good review.
วง
What model did you replace it with?
@@jesusfamily777 Thanks for the question I believe I bought the GE portable which is probably the best washer that I’ve had. it’s expensive but it’s the most like a regular washer it’s large capacity.
Do you still have the ge model, and would you recommend it/have you had any issues with it?
@@peppershakergaming3793 I no longer have it since I have a full sized machine now a Speed Queen. Never had any issues with it. It worked really very well.
Very nice thank you 😊
Very phenominal!! I have that. Works great!!
Great video! I’ve had such a tough time finding the right adapter for water so I have fill it up by hand. Do you have timing of the two rinses? It would help me tremendously since my washer shuts down when I don’t put enough water and forces me to start all over again….
Thank u so much I ve been thinking of getting for my static caravan and u have convinced me pity u don’t get a recommendation fee
Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😊🤙🏼 Aloha
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video, and, the agitating at 19 mins was so relaxing to watch, that I dozed off for a minute. Thats an ok thing it is a bit late.
I have a similar washer, a Kuppet. I'm in the UK. My machine came with a inlet hose with screws that wouldn't fit anything maybe just a garden tap. I bought a standard dishwashing/ washing machine hose and a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer adapter then attached to my shower hose. Shower hoses are 1/2 and washing machine inlet hoses are 3/4.
So I have a couple questions- I am from the US and looking to get one of these as getting to the laundromat can be difficult, especially in the winter. My apartment is incredibly small (less than 200 sq feet) and this looks as though it will fit perfectly in my shower. Niw my questions: is the drain pipe necessary? If I just leave the machine sitting in my shower, can I just let the water drain straight from the machine without the hose? Also, it is mentioned- suggested- not to add detergent on top of the dry clothes and to let it fill then add detergent. Is there a specific reason for this or is it just a preference? Could I just use a laundry pod instead?
Thank you so much for this unboxing/review! I will definitely be purchasing one of these machines!
I like costway , it is a good washer.
That’s quite cool 👍
Great video!
I love the dual. Better agitation. You have more control. I leave it in my tub. Fill it with shower head. So light. I lift out of tub with no Hassel. Spinner is amazing. You could laundry outside in warmer weather filling with garden hose. I'm 54 yr old women 120 lbs and I lift it with no issue.
Dual spin gets it pretty dry.
In all these reveiw demo would love to see a pair of jeans. I Had a double bucket in the 70s 2 adult and a baby. It had the agitaor on the side and wash a rectrangle in size for the wash. I loved it!
Do you need to use more washing detergent as the washer fills up with more water than standard front loaders? I take it the dosage of washing detergents indicated by manufacturers in Europe is meant to be for washers using less water. Thank you.
Thank you so much
I bought the Kuppet for it's strong wash cycle. Love these machines!
Just bought a kuppet brand is yours still working okay?
I love it I also want that in my house but I don’t have it sadly I will have two of my own washing machines too soon
Thanks for such an informative and well presented video. I was wary of buying one of these and your video reassured me that all should be well. Many thanks and subscribed so I can see what other great videos you've produced. Saved me lots of anxiety. Many thanks. Quick question. When the agitator reverses does it do this by reversing the motor. We will buy ours for a narrowboat and the inverter might baulk slightly at constantly having to supply mains motor startup current
Sorry, I don’t know the method the machine uses for reversing the agitator, but I’m assuming the motor reverses.
Great machine pjuspt mpakpe sure you do not over load.
Great video, did you manage to find a way to connect it to the mixer tap?
Surprisingly, I just ordered one of these and it came with a faucet attachment but I would rather have the one you got to connect to my existing washer hookup.
Gracias por el vidro acabo de comprar y estoy muy feliz de elegir esta, esta exelente, no ruidosa y el sistema me fascino varios niveles y tiempo. La tecomidndo al 100%
Qual site você conseguiu comprar
Si lava bien el color blanco?? Solo es lo que busco tengo mi set pero es de las otras de puerta al frente y no me sirve para lo blanco, ojalá puedas responderme 🙏🏼
Hi, I very recently bought this same washing machine. I do need to ask, it the basket suppose to be as wobbly inside before you even do wash spin, the basket doesn't seem ver steady and could you recommend they type of detergent to use or and some comfort.
Great Hash washer
Powder detergent before laundry for max dissolving and circulation.
Great video! I bought the model that was a tad bit bigger and had to be creative on making it work for my apartment. I also made a video on tips on I set mine up. 2 months later and I still love it!
Where is your video? Is it ok not to connect it to any tap and just fill in bath tub or with a bucket ? Thanks!!!!!!
Wich is the model and still portable as this one here ? Thank you in advance
Thank you to show. I thinking it's great. Nothing wrong. Helps to have this at home. Than every week go out side the house to the laundromat. Convenient specialy at winter ❄️. Big and have blankets take all summer time to laundromat. And winter coats too. If a person is very clean and take good care of themselves and the have clothes don't needed until summer to wash them. Or if the winter coat needs a wash go twice to laundromat in winter season 👏👏👏👏😍
Hi! Thanks for the video! I just got this set up. This may be a silly question but do you have to leave the water on for the whole wash cycle?
Yes
Yes, the water tap needs to be left on so that the washer can fill itself during the cycle.
Hello. I've watched your twintub videos today along with this one. Do you have any updated information please? Which type of portable washer has the fastest spin please, this one or the twin tub? Finally, the ''Ideas'' twinbtub doesn't appear to be on the Amazon website or the alternative names you provided so could you tell me what it is now branded as please? Many thanks.
Thanks so much for this video! I am having the same issue as my tap does not have any threads either. I was trying to look for the video where you figured it out under the sink but haven't found it. Any other suggestions on how I can further connect it? thx
I have a similar one, a Kuppet. In the end I got a generic dishwasher/washing machine inlet hose from Amazon and then a 3/4 to 1/2 reducer from an irrigation supply bits on Ebay and attached to my shower hose. Shower hoses are 1/2 and standard washing machine hoses are 3/4.
Do I keep the water running throughout the entire wash cycle? My machine is also fully automatic
Does this spin dry cycle leave clothes drier than your twin tub machines? It’s misleading because the amazon description for the twin tub lists spin cycle as 1300 rpm and I have one that is fully automatic from Midea/RCA and the max spin lists at 800 rpm.
3:51 was my favorite part. Loved when you were reciting the directions in broken English. "Put down the machine on some soft thing...Please let the remarkable face outside. " LMAO!
I don't think British English can be called broken English.
Hook the drainage pipe around the bottom of the tap. that's what I always do. Drains straight into the sink no problem.
Can thee agitation be adjusted for a heavier agitation?
Wow! epic vid brooooo
noice!
Hwo did u work around the adadpter issue ..any link to it? plus does the machine requiere hot or cold water?
So cool
I’m in the US (Chicago, actually) and my users manual indicates that I can use liquid detergent I just don’t know how much and it indicates that I should dilute it first and then add the clothes I can also use bleach and then how do I dispense the fabric softener?
I'm having the same issue with the tap connector. So far I found a connector from eBay china , one end screws onto the machine and the other end is a rubber seal which clasps to the end of the tap... You also need to use a screwdriver to fasten the supplied jubilee clip attached to the rubber seal to the end of the tap... The main issue with this is that the water pressure sometimes blasts the tap connector off, pending on how much water you let through the tap.. Did you find a different solution?
We connected ours up to our shower so not sure how helpful this is, but we use an angled appliance valve by Primaflow (bought it from wickes) 15mm x 3/4" and connect that to the shower hose. It was a bit fiddly to connect at first, though that may have just been ours, however it works great.
My drain hose has cracked after a few months of normal use. What is the right kind/size of hose to replace it? Thanks!
LOL! That ad, though (the one where a Millennial discovered the Commador64)!!!
It seems pretty sturdy when it's spinning. I was expecting it to vibrate across the floor
Hello I got one tube machine .i used it is good but don’t know how drain in the sink there is no button to push on drain to get dirty out in the sink. Could you tell me how to drain is it automatically.
Robbie Crosbie 😂
😂😂
Same here I was expecting the little washer to dance across the kitchen!
And jump alot
How did you connect the hose?
Use the highest water setting. Your laundry load should never sit above the water.
At first I thought it meant large wash l is low 🔅
How does the drain system work? Is it gravity drain or mechanical pump drain ?
I do not have any floor drains to drain the water out by gravity
It used a pump to drain out the water@@snaLee1
It’s a impeller style its supposed to be like that
what kind of sliders could one put under the feet in order to move it to a closet for storage?
Thanks for the very detailed video. The only fear is that the laundry doesn't get enough movement during washing. How is the dirt supposed to come out of the laundry if the drum doesn't rotate vertically and the falling laundry pushes the dirt out ?
I can’t find the video on how you set up the tube to the plumbing under your sink. Mind helping me find that?
Thanks so much!
Im still trying to see how to hook it up under the sink ive watched a million youtube vids and still confused because nobody is showing how to hook the hose from the machine to the hot or cold valve under the sink. I may have to call a plumber
Angel, if you have automatic washing machine taps under your sink this is what is used to connect to
@@macraghnaill3553 ohhhh... thank you so much and im looking at them right now
Can I use hot water? What i mean is can I put hot and cold from the faucet with the same hook up? Like open both valve (hot&cold) from the same faucet,same attachment?
Is this device really better than the twin tub device? I am asking because it does not spinn as much in the WASHING process. It only spins a part of a full revolution. Please advise me. Thanks :)
Do these machines ever get a musty odor or any mildew/mold? Maybe behind the steel? The hose?
Bought mine today :-)
Extremely happy with the results.
Can it be hooked up to regular washer outlet?
Love your socks
The sausage dog bedding is lovely Roger 🥰 Can I ask where you bought it from please xx
Asda
ibaisaic Thank you Roger xx
Bought one of these from Amazon recently, great little machine except for the fact mine leaks from underneath somewhere. Only a drip but not good enough for an allegedly new appliance. No response from the seller unfortunately. Wondered if anyone else has suffered the same issue with this machine? Such a shame as this is otherwise a great little machine. Have previously had a portable twin tub which while worked well, was so much more hassle to use!
Mine did this whenever I put to large of a load or something like to heavy of a blanket.
Have u found out the reason for the leak?? Thanks
