This is a great post and I bought the adapter that you recommended. However, I don’t see where you got that gray piece that connects the washer hose to the faucet. Please help me my wife really wants to use the washer!!!😮😮😮
@@FunKeyPrez Hi there! The gold piece is a part of the machine. The gold part screws into the gray hose. This is true for my machine but I'm not sure for other types
@@MyHomieMari THANK YOU!!!
What I got from this video: "be selfish with taking care of yourself." I don't know why... but that hit me hard and actually made me cry. I did NOT expect that from watching a video on a portable washing machine. I've been going to the laundrymat for so long... and I feel so unsafe going there. I leave my clothes, and I hate leaving them while I wait - I always think they are going to get stolen, but if I stay to watch them, I always get some weirdy who won't leave me alone. Either way, I feel like I'm losing. I get so stressed going. And I've been looking into these little portable washers... and your video... just hit me so hard. And I even did the math on how much I spend on laundry in a year, and it's literally almost as much as the washer I want - which is 328. I could have a portable washer for two years, it breaks down and stops working, and I would still come out ahead financially. Thank you for your video.
Buy one girl! Stay out of those creep show laundrymats!! You will eliminate so much stress in your life!
I bought the Black and Decker portable washer last week. Carrying heavy clothing to the laundry room was extremely painful and expensive. This has totally been a life saver. I hang the clothes, and they are dry after about 4 hours. Had no idea that these were available.
Im in NYC too🧚🏽♂️This was so beautiful...at the end when you said it makes you feel grateful to be able to take care of yourself. I feel the SAME way🙏🏽 Its the #smallthings ♥️ I just ordered my Panda washer and dryer this morning. I know my Mother would be proud 👼🏽
I really appreciate that you included the noise level at different distances! Thank you!!
If water is coming out and around your adapter when the water stops filling the machine, it means your water pressure is too high. You can usually minimize it by lowering the handle of your faucet. I have a Haier brand washer and I used to hook mine directly up to the shower spout using the adapter, and found reducing the amount of water flowing helped (I had an old style two-handle down spout tub set up, newer showers don't work well with auto fill washers). However when I moved and had to start using my sink, I realized having an additional rubber washer in the sink set up and/or having flood safe steel hoses helped the water control. I highly recommend these washers for apartments, I'm so glad I purchased one years ago!
Can you drop a link to the steel hose and the rubber washers?
@@WILLTONY7 You can pick up the rubber washers at any home improvement store - no brand is better, just be sure to purchase an assorted box for the different thicknesses to test on your faucet. The flood safe hoses are the same - any home improvement store will usually only have one brand in stock and that will work (I just used Home Depot's brand). If you purchase them on Amazon, I would recommend 'Premium Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hoses with 90 Degree Elbow' in the length you need by the brand Kelaro. They need to be absolutely lead free, which is key - don't use a water hose for this if it is not meant to be used with drinking water!
i have an older zeny and am happy with it - you must use a lint trap if it has and a mesh sleeve over the drain hose (cheap anywhere or tie on a stocking) you'll be amazed of the amount of lint and hair collected - this is important especially if you use in bathtub or shower as will get clogged eventually - throw the lint in the trash NOT THE TOILET
I bought the panda washer and dryer and they are a life changer, and they also came right before the country shut down so that’s a plus
same here! best investment ever! like how did I not know about these 4 years ago?!
Which one?
@@yoongiswife6173 Panda washer PAN56MGP3 Dryer Panda portable but with the controls knob at the bottom because those get Hotter than the one with the control knob at the top
3 days ago I got my costWay super simple washer and yes, it's a life changer!
Mine holds a 9pd load, (that's a tiny load) cost 110$ I also bought a manual mop wringer since hand wringing is out of the question. The mop wringer is a traditional unit, with wringer and bucket,for 100$ Amazon. The wash takes 30 min. I do one wash/3 rinse cycles.
I don't have to stand over it, it just works. Set the phone timer for 9 min each cycle.
Bammm. Done. M
I'm so glad to see NY'ers finally getting hip to the small washers. The plug is a regular outlet plug and with the faucet adapter it hooks up to the kitchen or bathroom sink. That's it! I bought a Midea 2.5 cu.ft off Craigslist for my son's apt, works great! Magic chef, Panda and Haier also make these and the dryers which work great too.
I have a portable washer ordered and am so excited! Mine is one that has the separate spin tub so it's going to be a little more work but I am 71, retired and live in a house with 6 very hairy cats and a yard. I am also a homebody and can happily stay right here and out of the noise and hassle of the world! I looked forward to these days for many years during my working life and I embrace them now!!
You said homebody ....I subscribed ! I have the two tub washer and I’m thinking of purchasing one like yours . There is a laundromat in the basement of my building , but I hate going out of my apartment. I attached an old stocking with a rubber band on the end of the hose for lint.
I’m in Brooklyn and I definitely gonna get me one I hate going to the laundry and now that the country is under lockdown it give me a push! Your review was definitely a help
Yaayy!! It's def been a lifesaver during these times :)
Hi Mari and everyone, regarding the water overflow on the water supply valve from your sink's faucet. It is very important you install a "Water Hammer Arrester" - Why? well, every time the machine stops the water flow (through cycle changes), it does so abruptly thus placing a lot of back water pressure on your supply hoses, seals, and home sink/bathroom pipes - don’t assume the only place leaking is at the connection point, if one place is leaking chances are other areas of your home’s piping are also suffering. A Water Hammer will resolve this expensive and often catastrophic flood problem. You can buy them for $15 - $35 at any hardware store, some come as a new hose (in-line), while others are stand alone types (connect to the back of washer then connect hose). I prefer the in-line type, they save space. Here’s a shortened link to some of them: amzn.to/3jV6q24
A lot of people buying these machines and plugging them right away without realizing the flood damage or expense these can cause if the proper peripherals are not installed. Good luck and stay safe everyone!!
You’re definitely a positive UA-camr and person. Wish you well
Get a screen to collect the lint. Also, get the proper quick snap that attaches to the faucet, then quick snap the hose end, you won't have leaks. I think it's the male end.
You are just adorable and so thorough. Love your cozy vibe. Can't not subscribe.
Just ordered one very similar. Should be here Tues/Wed. I’m excited !!
NYC also love mine washer as well. I just want to say lint is def going into your drain. Try the panty hose method on the end of drain hose (secure in place with rubber band), at the end of wash let the pantyhose dry, you will be amazed how much lint will be in it!
Mari, Your demo had incredible insight! From start to finish. What inspires me most was the trouble shooting , connecting the hose and separate compartment for softener/ lint. Machine has many options. I have a laundry room but very few wipe the machines after use. This may also avoid resentments! So thanks!
Thank you for your video! I just bought the same washer because of this video! Gaintex one on Amazon and it’s a dream!!! Thank you again! I did bought a new hose stainless steel one at Home Depot and it does stop the leaking.
Had my own appointment. I started out with a Maytag Wringer washer.... Then I moved I had two used appartment size washer & dryer.....would roll it out to the kitchen sink. Dryer was in my bed room! It is so nice to have your own dryer! Great Vidio Enjoy!!!!
Beautiful Washer!!!! Awesome!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
I have lint come out of the hose on my Panda washer. I bought what I call hose condoms from Amazon and the first time I used the washer I was glad I had one on the hose. I put my hose right down my kitchen sink so the lint trap is a good feature. I have the dryer. It doesn’t dry as well as I had hoped but I picked up a tip to put a dry towel in with your load to soak up some moisture. I haven’t tried that yet. I’ve been using wool dryer balls scented with essential oils. In my washer, I use detergent sheets.
Like your attitude to looking after yourself. 100% facts. My next buy might be this down the road. Had the twin tubs, they don't last long 1-2 years and more manual work involved, although their great. Spin dryer burns out eventually. I now have a small collaspable portable washer, only a few days old. No spin but happy with it. I was in two minds about this, but I ever have to replace my collaspable this will be my next purchase. I would love to see a review now, if you had any problems and if everything still works. 🇬🇧
You said your shorts were uncomfortable but they look amazing on you , oh saw the video about your new apartment congratulations!
I agree we only have one life so enjoy it which I’m doing by buying exactly what I want and need!
I have the same Washing machine and I had the same problem with water leaking from the tap. This problem can be easily solved by buying a $10 metal hose that's going to evenly release/hold water without bending. It now works perfectly.
Yay! I'm happy you found a solution because mine was acting all the way up. It turn out my adapter wasn't screwed on tight enough so it works great now at my new place :)
Uhmmmm..... you are adorable, your home is lovely, and I am subscribing! I could watch you talk about anything! :)
I enjoyed your video. I am looking for a washing machine to a new apartment when I move from this house I stay in now. Great video. Keep spreading that good info. People need it.
Thank you for this. I have a condo in Harlem and I’m used to having a washer in my place but this apt doesn’t have and I’ve been going to the laundry room and I was completely turned off the last time I went. Someone had a whole load of rugs going 😐 someone else has a cat or dog and their white hair stays in the machines. I’ve had it. Mind you it’s $2.50 to wash and $2 to dry and my clothes came out smelling worse than when I put them in last time. Gross!! I’ll be getting this or something similar and washing clothes in the tub until it comes because 🤢
That’s what’s up! Good review sis, love your wash day outfit and your pretty cute ya boot!!😂
Thanks so much for the details u said/showed! I’ve watched a few vids so far & I’m soo gunna get one of these soon
I need that the one I have had One for over 10 years it is way to big and its becoming an issue for the sink faucet. It has to keep being replaced and it's just to much lol so I will def purchase this one as soon as I can thank you for the video and you right we ONLY DO HAVE ONE LIFE. ;)
Wow I love this whole video
It's just mind blowing that there are some part of the world where people don't know/use this kind of automatic washing machine. This is like a normal thing in my country
So grateful to have found this and you! Your words really resonate with me. I wish to have more friends that think like you. 100% buying this upon purchasing my new haven soon! Subscribed & Much love from MD/D.C.!!
Wow what an amazing detailed review. 👏
Well done. Your ending commentary made me a new sub. Fellow Noo Yawka here 🤸🏽♀️🗽
Magic chef makes a 2.6 cu ft dryer works really well
Thanks for the detailed video! Just bought a panda like this. Just want to leave this here though... More detergent does not mean cleaner clothes & using too much depending on your water softness/hardness can actually cause detergent buildup IN your clothes & towels. 🙂
Very beautiful young lady 😍 never settle lil sis ❤
Thank you for the information and for the great vives of yours I really appreciate it. God bless
You need to put a longer aerator on your tap. That’s the piece that the hose adapter attaches to.
Automatic washing machine is common in my country now, Philippines. I used to do hand wash, too tired. My WM made my life very easy. I can multi task. I installed it permanently to my kitchen faucet .. Mine is Whirlpool ..
Throw the residue in the trash bin, my suggestion .. It will clog the toilet in the long run.
Your hair...is Magnificent! I love my portable washer, too. I don't have a Zeny, though. The Zeny is not available where I am. It was a relief and a joy to get my portable washer. I used to dread going to the wash place. Now, I look forward to washing my clothes in my tiny studio here in France. Ahm..can we get a hair video, please?
OMG THANK YOU! I actually have a channel called "Mari Lil" where I talk all about hair stuff haha. You can see it on the featured channels on the side of my home page.
Thank you Mari you did great on your video. Thanks for sharing and I will definitely think about investing in the Zeny Portable machine. It was a toss up from Black + Decker Now Zeny it is much cheaper thank black + Decker. That one is not that bad Zeny reminds me of the same thing. Just concern of the dents that reviews are saying about Black + Decker. If people paying that price why settle for the dents. I would send it right back!.
Hey I live in Bklyn too I will be getting my portable washer when I move to my new apt soon just can't wait for my new portable waher they just don't put AC in that laundry mat I have gone to oh that terrible
Drive unit! Sounds great
Try to use dryer aire on the machine or you can get a fan that cirgulate in a room of the clothes damp when it's Winter ❄️
Your video was soooo SUPER Helpful:
Sink adapter name, sound of machine at different distances, door open/closed...etc!
Thank you for such an informative video...I was nervous to buy, but nice to see it in action!!
**I loved the part at the end where you mentioned taking time to take care of yourself,
Thank you...I'm just learning that is SO important. =^..^= But I needed to hear it :)
Great video!!! It was actually relaxing 😌
Great video eBay has these to an the other brands shipping on most of them is free an prices r really great💞
Thank you for sharing! Great washer and super convenient. New subbie!!!!.
I live in Bklyn as well and want to go this route. I have a laundry room in the building, but I prefer to have one in my apt. I’m tired of cleaning after messy ppl 🤦🏾♀️
I have the same washing machine and I love it. I actually bought mine used off Fscebook Yard sale. I actually didn't read much of the directions... I didn't know you had to clean the lint trap every single time. hosts been my problem. Alss I can't figure out how to take the top (the lid) off of it. I want to clean it and under it.
THANKS FOR THE INFO BEAUTIFUL
GREAT VIDEO ! I SUBSCRIBED.
Great video and a beautiful apartment
Thank you for your video
Word of advice, ask your landlords if you’re allowed to have these/ check your lease because after I bought mine they threatened to evict me
Why? There’s nothing wrong with having a washer and dryer machine in your own apartment, that’s why you are paying rent. As far as there is no water leaking you fine.
Very, very true. I passed on an apartment because they said no to washing machines. Water damage on wood floors is probably not worth the hassle
My Homie Mari This thing leaks and causes water damage?
@@adriannaalba2649 Hey hey I have not experienced leaks from the machine just from my faucet where I didn't have my adapter screwed in correctly
Not At This Time, WHY Because You Have One IN YOUR Apartment 🤔🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ They Have To Serve You Court Documents Stating Their Cause, IT'S A PANDEMIC Going On, You Have RIGHTS As A Tenant IN NYC, Better Know Your Rights, And Get On The DUDE 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾✊🏾💪🏾💯 FOR REAL THOUGH 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾 They Have To Give You A Thirty Day Notice And THEN You Get Your "Order To Show Cause", Governor Cuomo Said Landlords CANNOT EVICT YOU AT THIS TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC 👎🏾👎🏾 ALSO TOO REREAD YOUR LEASE AGREEMENT TO SEE WHAT'S ALLOWED TO HAVE IN YOUR APARTMENT, IF THERE'S NOTHING ON THAT LEASE STATING THAT YOU CAN'T HAVE A WASHING MACHINE IN YOUR APARTMENT, YOU CAN FIGHT THAT FOR REAL THOUGH 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾 ✊🏾👊🏾💪🏾💯
Buy a couple of smart switches for the buttons and a smart plug and you have a smart washer and dryer combo for under $200. 😊
Really?
Do you know if your lease says no washer or dryer bc though this is a portable washer I don't want nosey neighbors reporting it.ughh. How much noise does it make?
Thanks for the review😁🤗
Loved the message at the end ❤️
Hi i have a small washer and its by magic chef i donot think the water is suppoused to spring out of the faucet when its dont filling up the tub of the washer i jave pne and it dooes not do that make you shoukd tighten up the connector more
This is better than the twin tub
Do you have to be nearby to add more water for the rinse?
Great Video thank you!
I have a panda washing machine & it works like Urs with Tha same features
I just subscribed to your channel that's a pretty good idea on The watcher I have a big washer and dryer I own my own home in Arkansas and I live by myself I'm kind of like you and I'd like to stay on my own but I was going to tell you you know how your joints where you hook up your faucet leaks there's a white tape it's called plumber's tape you put it around the joints you know your threads on the hookup to the sink and it won't leak you just got to make sure you hand tighten them kind of like what you do every time you turn on the the water and you can work a little bit easier knowing that it won't leak at all remember it's called plumber's tape and you just go around maybe once or twice it's a thin tape it's not like glue tape it doesn't have no glue to it it's called plumbers tape and if you go like home Depot or Ace or any store that sells the tape they can show you how to use it let me know if that worked for you 🇺🇸🇵🇷✌🏼🌹
GOT DATUUMMM WHAT LAUNDRY? 👀
Can you feel any vibration when the machine is going?
Hey there! No I can not because I use the dolly and set it to lock
@@MyHomieMari Thank you 🙏
Laundry detergent help. Could you please tell me how much detergent you use? And what brand? I wash my clothes on cold, have tried filling the detergent up to line 2, using Tide Cold Water, and the clothes come out smelling clean only sometimes. I can’t figure out why. Thank you! Also love your video and upbeat personality! :)
How was the washer and adapter?
Hey, thanx for the review. How is the electric bill ?
Hey Susu my electric bill is about the same. I don't do laundry everyday and each load is about an hour so there isn't much of a difference.
Plus They Don't USE A LOT OF ENERGY EITHER 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾✊🏾👊🏾💪🏾💯 YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL IS GOOD, BUT THEN AGAIN IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WILL USE YOUR MACHINE TOO 🤔 🤷🏾♀️ 👍🏾 👌🏾✌🏾 TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, I'M NOT YELLING JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S ALL CAPS 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾
Beautiful video! :) Ordering mine also. :)
You are so beautiful and I appreciate your review I also am looking to getting my first portable washing machine and I cannot wait I live in a one bedroom and I hate going to the laundry room I wanted to ask you could you please share the link to the Roll around thing that you have the washer on because I think I need to get one for my washer
Peace and much abundance I really enjoy the review
Do you think it’s loud enough to disturb downstairs neighbors? Also, could you run another spin cycle for the towels?
It's incredibly quiet! Especially with the door closed. I also haven't had people complain, it doesn't shake around at all but I have my machine on a dolly that has a locking feature. But again, you should be good :)
Oh! And no unfortunately, you'll have to air dry towels or use a dryer
REALLY NEAT VIDEO! GREAT EXPLANATION OF WASHER AND DRYER! 👏 PRAISE THE GOOD LORD GOD!
Your adapter should not leak . It’s not clipped on properly . I was doing this for a year before I met my husband and he shows me how to connect it properly and it has never leaked since .
What's your secret? Need the deets. Share with the group.
Yeah can you do a brief demonstation vid on it?
I'm looking to get this machine. Have you try to wash a queen size blanket in this machine?
It's too small for a queen sized but can TIGHTLY fit a full size and you have to add more water on top usually
@@MariLil Thank You so much for getting back to me so fast.
Has the drain pump held up? I’m kind of leery of trusting the drain pump on these mini machines. Peeps have said that the drain pump don’t last long on these small home models.
Hey there, my pump is doing fine but I also make sure it's completely drained every time and I don't allow water to sit
Try to tighten the adjustment and Maybe it wont spew out water
Yeah I tried haha I think my sink is just a little busted. When I move I'll see if I have the same issue
I live in a 6 apartment building. The supper lives below me. I worry about the noise. I plan to lie if the landlord ask if I have a washing machine.
Dont flush lint down toilet. Put in garbage. Lint can affect drains eventually
great tip!
Haha, she says great tip!
It’s logic, evidence
Nothing wrong in accepting the true
Thanks for making this video! I just purchased the Black and Decker washer, and I'm having trouble connecting it to my sink. I've seen some people say that they have to unscrew part of the sink in order to hook up the washer. Is that the case for your model?
Hi! I had to unscrew the faucet (like the little filter part right before the water comes out) to screw in my adapter
Did you find a solution to the overflowing water when the machine stops taking water?
Hey! I just turn the faucet off when it stops intaking water. The machine will make a zip sound when it needs you to add more water. You can hear it towards the end of the video before the beeps. Once the machine makes that sound I just turn the faucet back on, let the water fill up, then turn it back off when the machine starts up again
How is the water bill with this? If your water is included, has your landlord noticed? That is what concerns me is the water spike..our water is included in the rent but we are warned in the lease not to overuse water.
Hey hey! Sorry I'm seeing this so late but because I live in an apartment where water is included in the building amenities
No worries! Thanks. I have water included too...but what I was asking was has your landlord ever noticed a jump in the bill? That is what concerned me.
We were warned in the lease not to overuse, even though our water is also included.
Excellent review, you're a pro and cute and funny. :)
Hi does it have for driving clothes or just wash
Hi there! It has an air dry feature that works on everything except heavy items like jeans, sweaters, towels and blankets. It’s not a heated dryer so I opted for a drying rack instead
Biggest drawback is that there is no integrated dryer, would hate having to dry my clothes separately in the room, risking condensation issues esp. in winter.
Very valid, I bought my machine early January and I didn't have an issue but it also didnt get that cold in NYC like we didnt even get a lot of snow so I didnt have an issue
@@MyHomieMariHere in the UK,we normally get a washer dryer combo if space is an issue, and also as the dryer is a condensing type,no outlet venting hose is necessary.
Hanging wet clothes causes humidity issues and musty odors
@@back2the80s fair to say but I feel it depends on how often you do it. Having wet clothes with little to no ventilation will result in that odor. I suggest you try a drying rack like the one I have at the end of my video!
I love this I have a washer and spinner, wish I had seen this first, would have bought this.
I love my washer and spinner though. This is just fancier.....lol
Is it quiet ??
Hi Mari, would a comforter or queen sized bed sheets fit in this washer?
Hey there! Yes to the sheets but no to the comforter. I still take my comforter to the laundry mat. A queen size quilt could fit though
@@MyHomieMari Awesome, thank you so much for sharing this video and your advice 🤗
But do you have to fill water again and again or just two times?
I fill the water a total of three times including the first fill. It goes through two rinse cycles
Where to buy your drying rack to please Kylie get back to me today so I can tell my husband to order me yet
Fully automatic!??
I like to rinse my clothes twice, are you able to do that without washing twice.
yes you can! Theres an option to just do a rinse cycle and an option to do an air dry cycle
Do you think I’ll be able to manually add water into the machine without using a water hose?
Great review
Where did you buy your Dolly from Miss
I'm so sorry I''m so late but I got both from amazon please check my store front link on my page :)
