Finally someone has done a review on this washer. When I bought this exact model a while back, I couldn’t find a review anywhere online, so I took a chance and bought it anyway. I must say it’s a nice reliable portable washer. I highly recommend it.👍
I’m so glad to hear that! I also love this washer and swear by it! Such a great buy, it already saved me so much $$ since I don’t go to laundromat anymore.
The portable washers clothes come out dryer than a regular washer. I don't know if it is smaller loads, but the spinner is more powerful on the Portable washers.
You can just fill up your washer using a pitcher. Fill up the pitcher a few times and pour the water into the washer. I did that when I had my mini washer. No leaks that way. BTW, these portables washers have been known to clog plumbing so it's important to attach a filter on the end of the drain hose . That will filter out the lint so that you don't clog the plumbing pipes after some time of accumulation of lint. Just replace the lint trap when it gets full or clean it out.
So what you're saying is that instead of connecting your machine to a sink so it can fill up with water to the load level you chose, you can do it manually with a pitcher to your desired max? And if so how do you know when you need to add more water for the rinse cycle?
I bought a mini portable washer to use when my big washer broke as a temporary one to do laundry. Just a bit of advice I recommend that you dry your washer and let it air out before storing it in your closet to avoid mold and mildew as well as odors. I like your review it was very informative. Thanks, Sandra
Wow... I bought a house last year, and for the first time, I got my own washing and drying machine. Before that, I lived in a small appartment we had to go to the laundrymat. 8 years I did that... And now I am SO MAD that those existed and I didn't even know 😭 That looks A-MA-ZING!!
I bought this after watching this video and it works great. Small loads but washes and spins like a full size washer. I use those sliding discs under each corner and keep it in my kitchen. So glad I got one that spins in same bin as it washes. No hassle washing.
I don't know why this was in my recommended, but I watched the whole thing, and now I want one of these washers even though I already have a full-sized washer and dryer. lol
I HAVE THE SAME WASHER HERE IN NZ IN A CARAVAN AND IT WORKS REALLY WELL CLOTHES COME OUT SO, SO CLEAN AND SPUN BETTER THAN AN ORDINARY WASHER WITH LESS SPACE THANKS FOR POSTING
I also have 1bd and even tho we do have laundry facilities I always hated using them. Now doing laundry is something I actually enjoy :) love having my own portable washer!
I bought it a year ago and I recommend it 100%. My washing machine is working like the first day. It has never presented any problem. It does not take up much space, it is easy to install, to use, it has a good capacity for its size, it washes, rinses and wrings clothes very well. It does not make noises when washing and neither when it is wringing the clothes. I specify that this washing machine squeezes the clothes, but does not dry them. Get your clothes ready to dry in the dryer or in the sun. If you are undecided to buy it or not, do not hesitate. Believe me, the money you will invest in it will be a good investment. I advise you to place at the end of the hose, where the water comes out, put a filter on it. I put mine in one of a fine stocking. All the lint from your clothes gets caught in it and it won't be a problem for your drain pipes.
It’s amazing and You only have to really use the 19 minute rapid spin which to me seems fine rather than using 40 minutes since the load size isn’t large and you basically end up washing 3 loads in less than an hour!
I used to buy the arm and hammer detergent because I didn’t think it mattered and thought it still worked but I’ve found Tide is really the best. My clothes I thought were ruined came clean. My clothes came out a different color. Lol. I used arm and hammer for years but I will not longer ever buy from them.
Hello! Thanks so much for the video. Is water suppose to come out as it's washing the clothes? Or it's suppose to come out at the end of the washing cycle? Hope to hear back.
Hey! I used to set my Della portable into the bathtub. Unscrew the shower head and attach a hose to the pipe with a rubber hose with clip! They sell the rubber faucet attachment with clips together in a package. It’s a lot of work but it’s a money saver!
THANK YOU so much for posting this. I've been trying to find a portable washing machine for a long time because I'm tired of paying so much to do laundry in my apartment building. Definitely going to look around and try to get one for myself.
Sandra brought up a good point that I forgot about. Nit only is it a good idea to hand dry your washer tub after use, but it is a really good idea to go with an empty wash and rinse every 2 or three weeks to make sure your tub and pump stay clear.
Great job with the review. I have this exact washer, works really well. By the way, when in doubt about the water level always choose the higher amount it puts less strain on the motor and your clothes.
i bought a similar machine 1.6 cuft ;automatic from walmart 325 at door; is really help me;the amazing result when i live closets overnight with detergent(start wash and power off after the fullfilling with water);u can use different type of combination just stop and starting again; i highly recomend this type of laundry machine all of you!
I ran into this video had to sit here and watch it completely, now I ask myself How in the world did I do for years without a Washer machine, I’m impressed with this little washer machine. I been watching clothes by hand most of the time when I was living in a house and was not aloud to have a washer machine cause they were to big and wasted to much water.. I don’t know how I did it.. love this cute washer..
Thank you so much for this review! Very helpful! I just received my washer and now on the hunt for an adaptor. I'll look for the one that worked for you. Thank you!
hi! I have a similar machine, but I do not have a dolly. Can your neighbors hear you? Does the dolly move while the machine is on the spin cycle? Do tell!
My portable machine just broke down after using it almost daily for 5 YEARS!!! It was THE BEST decision I have ever made!! So glad you put this video up because I am looking for a new one to buy, and yours is made just the same as my old one. Thank you!!
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video. I ordered everything just like you said and it all worked like a charm. Would have never figured all that out by myself. Wow! You are good people indeed!
@@JuliaCaban hi Julia, my drain hose does does so continually through the cycle I'm so confused as to why and don't know what to do please help! and thank you
Ok i have four kids and they be running out of school clothes to wear but i don't always have money for the laundromat so i wash by hands. This has got me sold on the idea of investing in one. Thanks for sharing this video. I get paid a lot of money next month so i'm definitely getting one of these.
You did a great video. I am just getting it now as well but wanted to see reviews before I purchased it. In NYC we need this. I am tired of carrying laundry downstairs and to the laundromat, and even more sharing washer with so many people.
I rearranged my kitchen to get a stacked washer and dryer in my tiny house... Cause no way my family can function without full laundry. Our neighbors (also in a tiny house) have a laundry set up outside on their back porch. Everyone in a tiny house always figures out how to get that laundry done lol. ❤️ I do have a similar set up for my dish washer, that you do for your portable washing machine, it hooks up to the kitchen sink and drains there as well. It's a life saver.
You're very welcome! I'm so glad that my review and the video helped you make up your mind. I know how it feels to be unsure for a while, and I'm happy I could provide the information you needed. Enjoy your decision, and thanks for your comment!
OMG Tortolino is adorable! I love that you showed the adapter to connect the water hose. OMG that was so many you bought! I hope you can return the ones you did buy separately! So you hang your cloth to dry! Great video. Is it still working well for you?
I have to live at home right now. So I’m building a tiny house out of a portable building. I found this portable washer on Lowe’s website. I couldn’t make a connection for a big washer or dryer. This is perfect!
Great review I just picked one up today...for my socks and underwear and a few work clothes they raised the price on the washer machine so I decided to try this
I have this machine, really good a cleaning clothes. Better than Panda or Magic Chef. Update: had to return the washer, hemorrhaged to much water from the lint plug. Instead went with the RCA washer and best investment I have made besides my Panda compact sensor dryer. Highly recommend both of these. They work beautifully.
Excellent review and tutorial, Julia! You two are soooo cute ; ) ❤ My grandmother wants one of these units and after watching this video, I'm sure this is the best one for her. She's excited to be more self sufficient since her washer and dryer is in her basement and at 87 she should not be navigating the stairs. I'll get her the longer fill hose and dolly too. You're the best, Julia!! Thank you so much!!
Be sure the drain hose lays under the intake hose and is tied securely to hold it in place. They can jump out of the sink while draining and flood the floor. It happened to me. Thankfully the floor covering saved me as it rolls up higher under cupboards cupboards.
Would have loved to own this when I was renting. Even though the laundry room was right around the corner from my apartment I didn’t like hauling it there and always wondered if it was sanitary with so many people using it. Thank God those days are over.
Hey👋🏽 May be someone asked before but do you use cold water or hot? I bought it yesterday and it says only cold😭 how it’s supposed to wash away stains and bacteria?🤪
It does it automatically which is actually a bad thing if someone needs to manually fill it. It wont alert you to add more water the pump will just keep going and going until it burns itself up.
Hi Julia, thanks so much for making this! Based on your video, I bought the same washing machine. I just tried to use it for the first time and water poured out of the unit onto the floor five minutes after starting the cycle. I stopped and unplugged (and cleaned), then opened to see that water was up to the very top of the basin (and that's why it was pouring out). This may seem like a very obvious question and I'm embarrassed to ask, but *when do you turn off the water faucet during the cycle?* I can see in your videos when you turn on the faucet, but I never see you turn it off. In the manual, it does not specify, either. Am I supposed to leave the water faucet running the entire time, or am I supposed to fill to a certain level and then shut the faucet off to prevent overflowing? I'm not sure if you read these comments, but thanks for any advice you have.
The washer should turn the water off automatically when it reaches the right level (1,2or3). You don't need to turn of the faucet until you're done with laundry. I'm sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you got a faulty washer.
Thank you very much for demonstrating your perfect portable black and decker washing machine. I was trying to pick out a portable washer but couldn't decide what brand to buy. Now I'm going to buy your brand. Thank you much again 🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️
GREAT video. thanks to you me and the wife just received our new washer. we are a bit confused about how the water works. when we set it on a wash mode, do we leave the faucet on or do we have to turn it off and on again for each cycle?
After watching this I bought a portable washer. Not this brand but yea. I love mine. I'm by myself and I have a hookup so I don't have to use for sink. But... It's saved me money on electric so far after two months
Thanks for the video and helpful tips. I bought this washer and need to set it up. Only one screw came with the bottom cover, but it doesn't say which hole to use to attach it. (There are several holes on the bottom cover.) It also doesn't show which way the bottom cover fits onto the bottom (which side goes up). I'm not good at this type of thing. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me on this matter. Oh and where did you get a cover for your washer? Thanks.
Hi Julia, thanks for your review. I'm going to give this washer a try :) can you please show a picture of the adapter you bought on amazon, not sure which one to buy. Thank you!
I live in an apartment and these are not allowed in our building sadly. Well I snuck in the B&D washer and I was so excited to use it! It ended up being a disaster though, water was spewing out from the sink, from the hose connection, water was pouring out from the bottom of the washer itself. I was so worried I would flood my downstairs neighbors apartment. Luckily I didn’t - the washer got sent back the same day.
I’m so sorry to hear that:( it’s possible the drain hose wasn’t secured well enough? I never detach mine and I never had problems with water leaking out of it. It is important to keep it above the washer level- if you put the drain hose on the ground below the washer then it will leak out leftover water - you can put the drain hose in the shower to let the water out, but I never do it since I use the washer 2-3 a week. If your sink is too small to drain the water(or possibly clogged) then you can optionally use shower/bathtub drain. Again, I’m sorry to hear that happened :(
I just got mine in the mail and this video is so helpful! Just wondering if you ever put the silver bottom plate on. It was the plastic piece that sat on top of the washer when it was packaged. Just curious if it is going to make a difference or not!
@@UA_L Why then take the time to search through the comments and take more time writing a comment? The person who made the original comment gave constructive criticism without being rude. You made a comment about something you yourself claim didn't even watch for more than 3 minutes 🙄
8 months in w/ my first time small Magic Chef 2.0 cu ft washer & 2.6 cu ft dryer and all is well. I use the extra rinse feature on every wash b/c I'm liberal w/ soap. B/c it's just me, they are affordable to purchase & operate - and quality is way better than 10 yrs ago. 8 months & no problems. Home depot website purchase delivered to my front door. Thanks for sharing.
Very neat! We own an rv and we wanna get a washer and dryer so we can leave our house for long periods of time and have a place to wash our stuff without having to go to the laundromat .! Thanks I think it’s a cute washer and I seen your dryer video, and may I ask are you Dutch or American? Your accent is kinda neat!
I’m Polish:) thank you! This washer is great for that - If I have some heavier stains I need soak overnight I just pause the washer and start it again in the morning or few h later - I couldn’t do it with any other regular washer :)
Julia Caban we have a regular washer here but since we also have an rv and don’t like going to laundromat then I figure this would be awesome! And love your accent! I’m sorry I made a assumption lol!
bought a different model but same style one tub washer, last night on Amazon, for my RV. And a 3.75cu.ft. front load small dryer too. Bigger dryer size should give laundry to tumble a bit more than if dryer is fully packed. Now I'm plotting where I'm putting the mini washer & dryer.
robert wesch we just don’t like going to the laundry mat. & we don’t like paying dang near $2 dollars for every wash and dry at an RV park. We already pay enough for the lot LOL.
@@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98 boy do i hear ya. It's been ok in my small town for the last year since a really beautiful, clean & modern laundry opened. The 60lb front loader washers are $9.50 and great for bedding and when my "guy mode" kicks in and have no idea how every piece of my clothing has been worn 2-30x based on smell. hahaha... but it's time. There was the perfect machine that has a two tub design instead. this great review but the two tub machine i found the washer side held 30lbs! I waited too long and they're gone for now. That was ideal size if combined with the larger dryer. But found an ok compromise washer Panda 1.6cu.ft. "high-end" they called it. Still, I don't know why but i truly like the simplicity of the two tub machines. But full automatic will be nice too... planning on remodeling back half of my RV this spring so now i can add dedicated space for new set.
To clean your little detergent cup you can actually throw it in with your load and it will be perfectly fine in there !!! That way you don’t have to wipe the excess off on a towel or something! Hope this helps! (:
what kind of detergent pods do you use? my tide pods sometimes don't melt all the way (the pouch) and it makes a mess on some clothes... thanks for the detailed review!!
I wish I knew about these years ago! That would've saved me so much time, money and headaches. Especially with lost socks and stuff! That can get so frustrating with traveling laundry back and forth from the house to the laundromat. I'm currently shopping for a portable washer now! Unfortunately, I can't find one that will clean King size comforters yet. Has anybody else had any luck? It's a necessity in our household. At least I'll be able to do the sheets and clothing at home again soon! Thank you for your video!
Thank you for watching! :) Since I also couldn’t wash the king comforter in my portable washer, I decided to splurge and get a really good quality dawn comforter, and I invested in a linen duvet cover - so now I don’t have to wash the whole comforter, and I just wash the cover! I can highly recommend it :)
wow im very impressed with this washer...to think I usually spend 10-30 dollars on public laundromats- esp them blankets....have you washed any blankets so far?
Yes, I did! Even big fluffy ones and they fit! I can’t fit king size comforter but I wouldn’t expect to fit anyhow since it barely fits in commercial washers haha
I bought one on Craigslist for $100 bucks. Worked like a charm in my efficiency. Stored it in my closet under my hanging clothes. Had to order adapter on amazon.
Thank you for this video! I think I convinced my husband to get me one 🥴😂❤️ ! We live in a one bedroom one bath, small apartment!! This will be a life saver to wash our ferrets bedding and hammock, kitchen towels and undergarments, etc! Thanks again! Was there anything you didn’t like about it? Did it last a while ?
I need this. I will probably just pour the water into the washer instead of hooking it up to the sink since I have only one bathroom. The dolly is a great idea, I will be hiding this in the closet, but I might get a tray or container to fix onto the dolly to catch any water that may leak.
Great review. I went through the same problem finding an adapter piece to fit my sink 😩 My washer had to sit for 3 weeks while I searched high and low for the right piece..
I totally feel you! I was so frustrated when all the adapters I bought didn’t match, but I’m glad I finally found the right one on amazon :) wish I went look for it there in the first place, because it would save me so much time and gas 😉

I do have a similar set up for my dish washer, that you do for your portable washing machine, it hooks up to the kitchen sink and drains there as well. It's a life saver.
Natalie Nelson WHAAATTT!! They have portable dish washers???? Where have they been all my life!?!?
Thanks for the review Julia, this video + your update convinced me since I've been hesitating for months now.
You're very welcome! I'm so glad that my review and the video helped you make up your mind. I know how it feels to be unsure for a while, and I'm happy I could provide the information you needed. Enjoy your decision, and thanks for your comment!
OMG Tortolino is adorable! I love that you showed the adapter to connect the water hose. OMG that was so many you bought! I hope you can return the ones you did buy separately! So you hang your cloth to dry! Great video. Is it still working well for you?
I have to live at home right now. So I’m building a tiny house out of a portable building. I found this portable washer on Lowe’s website. I couldn’t make a connection for a big washer or dryer. This is perfect!
Sounds great! :)
I am gonna put one of these machines in my van!!
Let me know if it will work:)!
I found an earring in the washing machine while doing the laundry, but there is one missing. Where is he hiding. Is there a place to go deep.😄👍
I think you can open the bottom of the washer and see if you will find it there! it's a plastic cover
You know you could also just throw the cup in with the wash.. It won't hurt it.. 😁 cool machine!
Your dog is so cute
Thank you! 🥰
I just dropped the whole cup of laundry detergent into the washer.
It was super helpful to learn about the hose being higher than the water level! I haven’t seen that on other reviews yet
I always try to share everything I would appreciate to hear about in a review so I'm glad it was helpful! :)
Starts at around 5 minutes
🎉🎉
Great review I just picked one up today...for my socks and underwear and a few work clothes they raised the price on the washer machine so I decided to try this
I have this machine, really good a cleaning clothes. Better than Panda or Magic Chef.
Update: had to return the washer, hemorrhaged to much water from the lint plug. Instead went with the RCA washer and best investment I have made besides my Panda compact sensor dryer. Highly recommend both of these. They work beautifully.
I’m glad to hear that!:) I had a feeling it would be more solid and I’m so thankful I decided to get this one - it still works like new!
What rca mode u got?
İ like this washing machine, it seems very pleasurable to use
It is! I still love it :)
Excellent review and tutorial, Julia!
You two are soooo cute ; ) ❤
My grandmother wants one of these units and after watching this video, I'm sure this is the best one for her.
She's excited to be more self sufficient since her washer and dryer is in her basement and at 87 she should not be navigating the stairs.
I'll get her the longer fill hose and dolly too.
You're the best, Julia!!
Thank you so much!!
Be sure the drain hose lays under the intake hose and is tied securely to hold it in place. They can jump out of the sink while draining and flood the floor. It happened to me. Thankfully the floor covering saved me as it rolls up higher under cupboards cupboards.
Would have loved to own this when I was renting. Even though the laundry room was right around the corner from my apartment I didn’t like hauling it there and always wondered if it was sanitary with so many people using it. Thank God those days are over.
Thanks for sharing dont forgt to put the cover on the bottom of washer machine you must screw that on .it protect the inside cute pup 😊
Thank you!:)
Another frenchie that loves plastic lol so does mine. Of course he has toys.thanks for the tip about the adapter I couldn't find one either
I love your voice and accent. You are so beautiful as well, but it's your voice I could listen to forever 😊 🌹 p.s. Tortelino is cute too 👍
Hey👋🏽 May be someone asked before but do you use cold water or hot? I bought it yesterday and it says only cold😭 how it’s supposed to wash away stains and bacteria?🤪
I only used cold water, only sometimes I would hot or warm. It still washed everything perfectly:)
Hi! Quick question: do you have to add more water for the rinse cycle? If so, does the machine alert you of when to add rinse water? Thanks!
You just leave the faucet on for the entire cycle and the machine will add it in when it needs it
@@ghxx5084🤦🏽♀️ THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.... also my drain hose does co continually through the cycle is this norm?
@@ghxx5084🤦🏽♀️ THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.... also my drain hose does co continually through the cycle is this norm?
It does it automatically which is actually a bad thing if someone needs to manually fill it. It wont alert you to add more water the pump will just keep going and going until it burns itself up.
Wouldn’t the water keep leaking out of the faucet? It has no where to go.
Tortolino steals the show ❤
Hi Julia, thanks so much for making this! Based on your video, I bought the same washing machine. I just tried to use it for the first time and water poured out of the unit onto the floor five minutes after starting the cycle. I stopped and unplugged (and cleaned), then opened to see that water was up to the very top of the basin (and that's why it was pouring out). This may seem like a very obvious question and I'm embarrassed to ask, but *when do you turn off the water faucet during the cycle?* I can see in your videos when you turn on the faucet, but I never see you turn it off. In the manual, it does not specify, either. Am I supposed to leave the water faucet running the entire time, or am I supposed to fill to a certain level and then shut the faucet off to prevent overflowing? I'm not sure if you read these comments, but thanks for any advice you have.
The washer should turn the water off automatically when it reaches the right level (1,2or3). You don't need to turn of the faucet until you're done with laundry. I'm sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you got a faulty washer.
Thank you very much for demonstrating your perfect portable black and decker washing machine. I was trying to pick out a portable washer but couldn't decide what brand to buy. Now I'm going to buy your brand. Thank you much again 🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for watching! :)
GREAT video.
thanks to you me and the wife just received our new washer.
we are a bit confused about how the water works. when we set it on a wash mode, do we leave the faucet on or do we have to turn it off and on again for each cycle?
Yes, you can leave the faucet on. Just make sure your hose is not leaking! :)
After watching this I bought a portable washer. Not this brand but yea. I love mine. I'm by myself and I have a hookup so I don't have to use for sink. But... It's saved me money on electric so far after two months
Thanks for the video and helpful tips. I bought this washer and need to set it up. Only one screw came with the bottom cover, but it doesn't say which hole to use to attach it. (There are several holes on the bottom cover.) It also doesn't show which way the bottom cover fits onto the bottom (which side goes up). I'm not good at this type of thing. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me on this matter. Oh and where did you get a cover for your washer? Thanks.
Thank you for watching! I bought my cover on amazon - I linked the exact one in the description of this video :)
Tortalino is so adorable. Thanks for this review. Love it! So thorough.
Thank you for watching! ☺️❤️
Hi Julia, thanks for your review. I'm going to give this washer a try :) can you please show a picture of the adapter you bought on amazon, not sure which one to buy. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I linked the adapters in the description - you have to buy a set of them, but that’s the only one that worked :)
Yes Julia check out the RCA portable washer 3.0
Nice review, adorable little Frenchie. Be well :)
Thank you, Lori! :)
I live in an apartment and these are not allowed in our building sadly. Well I snuck in the B&D washer and I was so excited to use it! It ended up being a disaster though, water was spewing out from the sink, from the hose connection, water was pouring out from the bottom of the washer itself. I was so worried I would flood my downstairs neighbors apartment. Luckily I didn’t - the washer got sent back the same day.
I’m so sorry to hear that:( it’s possible the drain hose wasn’t secured well enough? I never detach mine and I never had problems with water leaking out of it. It is important to keep it above the washer level- if you put the drain hose on the ground below the washer then it will leak out leftover water - you can put the drain hose in the shower to let the water out, but I never do it since I use the washer 2-3 a week. If your sink is too small to drain the water(or possibly clogged) then you can optionally use shower/bathtub drain. Again, I’m sorry to hear that happened :(
I just got mine in the mail and this video is so helpful! Just wondering if you ever put the silver bottom plate on. It was the plastic piece that sat on top of the washer when it was packaged. Just curious if it is going to make a difference or not!
Love that u used a spyderco knife to open box.... I use to work at spyderco and assembled the knife.
I love that knife! it’s solid, I use it every day! ☺️
Their amazing I loved making them
Bit long winded but good to have a review of it. Thanks.
I have subbed to you, checkout my video on washing, it is short and to the point😊😊
I agree most of it is way over talked about nothing. Quit wastching
Extremely annoying accent, poor editing skills, lots of rambling too. I gave up after 3 minutes.
@@UA_L Why then take the time to search through the comments and take more time writing a comment? The person who made the original comment gave constructive criticism without being rude. You made a comment about something you yourself claim didn't even watch for more than 3 minutes 🙄
I loved the doggy ...much more than the machine😘
Haha! Tortellino says Hi 🐶
Thank you for the demonstration , I decided to get a washer also, it is fantastic 😊😊😊
Thank you!! :)
hey how did you end up liking it we just got ours
@@Allsportstees Hello, I liked a video on a black+decker portable washer 2 months ago
@@jamiehgirl no i mean how do you like the washing machine so far
8 months in w/ my first time small Magic Chef 2.0 cu ft washer & 2.6 cu ft dryer and all is well. I use the extra rinse feature on every wash b/c I'm liberal w/ soap. B/c it's just me, they are affordable to purchase & operate - and quality is way better than 10 yrs ago. 8 months & no problems. Home depot website purchase delivered to my front door. Thanks for sharing.
Very neat! We own an rv and we wanna get a washer and dryer so we can leave our house for long periods of time and have a place to wash our stuff without having to go to the laundromat .! Thanks I think it’s a cute washer and I seen your dryer video, and may I ask are you Dutch or American? Your accent is kinda neat!
I’m Polish:) thank you!
This washer is great for that - If I have some heavier stains I need soak overnight I just pause the washer and start it again in the morning or few h later - I couldn’t do it with any other regular washer :)
Julia Caban we have a regular washer here but since we also have an rv and don’t like going to laundromat then I figure this would be awesome! And love your accent! I’m sorry I made a assumption lol!
bought a different model but same style one tub washer, last night on Amazon, for my RV. And a 3.75cu.ft. front load small dryer too. Bigger dryer size should give laundry to tumble a bit more than if dryer is fully packed.
Now I'm plotting where I'm putting the mini washer & dryer.
robert wesch we just don’t like going to the laundry mat. & we don’t like paying dang near $2 dollars for every wash and dry at an RV park. We already pay enough for the lot LOL.
@@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98
boy do i hear ya. It's been ok in my small town for the last year since a really beautiful, clean & modern laundry opened. The 60lb front loader washers are $9.50 and great for bedding and when my "guy mode" kicks in and have no idea how every piece of my clothing has been worn 2-30x based on smell. hahaha... but it's time.
There was the perfect machine that has a two tub design instead. this great review but the two tub machine i found the washer side held 30lbs! I waited too long and they're gone for now. That was ideal size if combined with the larger dryer. But found an ok compromise washer Panda 1.6cu.ft. "high-end" they called it. Still, I don't know why but i truly like the simplicity of the two tub machines. But full automatic will be nice too... planning on remodeling back half of my RV this spring so now i can add dedicated space for new set.
To clean your little detergent cup you can actually throw it in with your load and it will be perfectly fine in there !!! That way you don’t have to wipe the excess off on a towel or something! Hope this helps! (:
That's what I do with my cup as well
what kind of detergent pods do you use? my tide pods sometimes don't melt all the way (the pouch) and it makes a mess on some clothes...
thanks for the detailed review!!
Try dissolving them in warm water before adding them to the wash :-)
@@sux2suk
omy goodness,
purchase the liquid
I wish I knew about these years ago! That would've saved me so much time, money and headaches. Especially with lost socks and stuff! That can get so frustrating with traveling laundry back and forth from the house to the laundromat.
I'm currently shopping for a portable washer now! Unfortunately, I can't find one that will clean King size comforters yet. Has anybody else had any luck? It's a necessity in our household. At least I'll be able to do the sheets and clothing at home again soon! Thank you for your video!
Thank you for watching! :) Since I also couldn’t wash the king comforter in my portable washer, I decided to splurge and get a really good quality dawn comforter, and I invested in a linen duvet cover - so now I don’t have to wash the whole comforter, and I just wash the cover! I can highly recommend it :)
@@JuliaCaban Duvets would be an awesome idea and make waking easier! Thank you!
wow im very impressed with this washer...to think I usually spend 10-30 dollars on public laundromats- esp them blankets....have you washed any blankets so far?
Yes, I did! Even big fluffy ones and they fit! I can’t fit king size comforter but I wouldn’t expect to fit anyhow since it barely fits in commercial washers haha
@@JuliaCaban question is it a dryer as well or you take the clothes to the dryer at the laundry mat
Zulma Z girls i usually spend 40 dollars
Bobby Brown i think you need to hand it to dry
I bought one on Craigslist for $100 bucks. Worked like a charm in my efficiency. Stored it in my closet under my hanging clothes. Had to order adapter on amazon.
That’s exactly what I do :) it’s amazing how nicely it fits in the closet - no one would tell I have a portable washer :D
~Great Video!!! Love Your Patience!!!GOD Bless You Always!!!💜💜💜
Oooh 😲 I love this one ❤️...I wonder if it’s something to consider for full time van/ truck life
Thank you for this video! I think I convinced my husband to get me one 🥴😂❤️ ! We live in a one bedroom one bath, small apartment!! This will be a life saver to wash our ferrets bedding and hammock, kitchen towels and undergarments, etc! Thanks again! Was there anything you didn’t like about it? Did it last a while ?
Just the hose that it comes with! But I bought another hose from amazon (linked in the description) for $10, and it works great :)
Great review!! I am planing to instal the same one in a sail boat. Thanks
I need this. I will probably just pour the water into the washer instead of hooking it up to the sink since I have only one bathroom. The dolly is a great idea, I will be hiding this in the closet, but I might get a tray or container to fix onto the dolly to catch any water that may leak.
Thankfully I didn’t have any problem with water leaking yet :) dolly works great! It was a good purchase
Vanessa RM hey do you have more detail on how you went about that ? How often did you have to refill in one cycle? Only once or?
These portable washers and dryers are the best
I agree! Time and money savers!! I’m so glad I don’t have to go to laundromat anymore 😎
I use this portable dryer: ua-cam.com/video/2KYMFohkliU/v-deo.html (just posted this review yesterday :)
COVID-19 + coin 'shortage' = life saving purchase! Thank you!
☺️❤️
Hi Julia. I've been using this portable washer in my RV. I love it. As for your video, it was really good.
Thank you for watching! ☺️
Very nicely done review, informative. And your dog is adorable.
Thank you so much :)
I have the magic chef 1.6 cu and its amazing 😉 I also have the 2.0 dryer
The outer case looks much like my breadmaker haha
We have the same one just make sure you don't overloaded with working only 2 to 3 time a week so that it could live longer with problems😀❤
That’s a good tip!:) Thank you for watching!
@@JuliaCaban ❤❤❤
Great review. I went through the same problem finding an adapter piece to fit my sink 😩 My washer had to sit for 3 weeks while I searched high and low for the right piece..
I totally feel you! I was so frustrated when all the adapters I bought didn’t match, but I’m glad I finally found the right one on amazon :) wish I went look for it there in the first place, because it would save me so much time and gas 😉
Look in the garden area for adapter if all else fails and get a steel braided hose if the hose that came with the portable washer is leaking.
Thanks.....works well! (Black & Decker has a solid reputation.) Kate
Thank you for watching!
You can return the items that did not fit.
I did! :) amazon is great
