As a guy thats saving up money to get a van to make into a livable one these are what I would call luxury items ngl and I think i will ad these to the list
I have the same machine and love it, after you wash go ahead and spin the soapy water out of your close then put them in the rinse water. It will do a much better job of rinsing out all the soap and dirty water.. it’s such a great machine..
One tip from a couple that use the smaller unit, simple living Alaska (yt channel) . Is to spin dry the washed load before the rinse cycle. It adds a step , but the "spin" , between the wash and rinse , gets "out" most of the dirt remaining the cloths , before the water rinse :) give it a try and maybe , give the a shout out on their YT channel ? I am a first time viewer , but wanted to share the tip with your viewers to consider.
We also used a specially formulated non rinse liquid soap commercially for some items . Therefore just wash then spin (normal washing not very dirty.) The spin before rinse is excellent idea. This sort of thing is done commercially ie time verses money verses results. Experiment for your self. If you use wool wash is never rinsed or spin . Obviously I’m not talking about heavy soiled garments. Front loaders machine does wash spin rinse once then maybe rinse number two. We use these little machine as well as a 10kg front loader at home, always that item you do not want to go in the big machine.
Thanks for sharing. We can't justify getting the expensive stack washer and dryer. This is a perfect option. You can replace this unit several times and still not get near the stack washer/dryer price.
I raised my three kids with only one of these as I was a teen mom and couldn’t afford the laundry Matt if I wanted to be able to afford to look after my elderly dog. I used it four 5 years. Then my big washer broke now 3 years later and it’s back in use going strong
I have this machine, used it for almost three years before it started having issues. Here is a handy hint for cleaning the filter: Turn filter inside out. Use a paper towel to wipe the wet debris from filter mesh. The wet debris adheres to the paper towel and easily transfers from filter mesh to paper with a couple of gentle swipes.
@@JouppiOutdoors funny with that filter, the old full size top loaders often had a lint trap, I think that is what it was called. I haven`t seen it on modern models at all. These portables are light weight construction, that is the nature of them. They are still pretty economical.
No, don't use one time use products, when you can just usethe same thing with reusable cloths. Us humans in general, but the van people especially are the worse when it comes to adding millions and millions of more trash to this beautiful planet we call home. Please stop and think first before using anything "disposable." Let's not leave this planet ruined for the wildlife and the future generations. When we know better we do better.
Hoover made them in the 1960's/70's here in the USA and they were metal. My sister and I each had one when we lived in apartments. I now have a small 10 pound plastic one as a backup for my regular washer/dryer. It uses 240 watts on the washer side and 120 watts on the spinner side, so for a total of 360 watts, I can easily run it with one of my smaller power stations, even if the electric goes out. I also have a retractable clothesline and a drying rack.
@@JouppiOutdoors I remember we had one of these as a kid so that would have been in the early 70's. When we got the automatic washer my grandmother took the one like this and she thought it was the bee's knees. Used it till it died in the early 80's. It was avocado green.
Only thing you didn't mention, is "what is the wattage output"? If you're in an RV park with hook ups its no concern. But if your a Boondocker with no electrical hook up it matters when running a generator... I want this machine but wattage is a key for most of us weekend campers, hunters, or fisherman. Looks like a great machine! Hope to hear from you! Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍
After watching this and a couple of other videos about this washing machine I bought one for myself. I have had it for almost a year. I love it! I have two bathrooms and I keep it in the guest bathroom shower. It is perfect to let it drain and use the handheld showerhead to fill it up. She is right about using only a little bit of liquid detergent. No more than a couple of tablespoons does the trick… Depending on the detergent brand, Of course. I have no complaints and I would recommend it to anybody. It is great for small places where you cannot put in your own regular machine. For one or two people it’s great! It is light enough for me to pick it up and tuck it away into a closet if I have guests.
I had a full size twin tub machine...I think it washes 6kg...I used it when I was young and moved out of my parents... I still have one now, even though we have a front loader, but it's great for washing dirtier than normal things like old towels, mesh/lace curtains, bath mats or anything you don't want to have in contact with your clothes and bedding.
I've had this exact washer model for two years. Was handed down from a friend. I've always been impressed especially with the spin as clothes spin so dry it takes no time to dry. Put a nylon stocking on end of drain hose to catch rest of lent. I had major clog for several weeks after last use of washer
I purchased mine because of this video. We are on the road in a travel trailer for 6-9 months. This works perfectly for us, and I am very happy. Thank you!
I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and still love it! I used to have a regular washing machine and when it broke down I bought our mini. It’s awesome. Key is to always clean your lint filter after every wash.
@@gemmaquigley3440 it’s inside the washing machine tub. If you rewatch the video when the video hits the 2:52 minutes mark it’s the little vented part in the right back corner of the washing tub. At the 11:05 mark he even shows you where it is how to take it out, did you not watch the whole video? Not sure why you’re yelling at me about not being able to find your filter.
Bought this same unit for my 1 bedroom apartment over a year ago. I place it my bathtub (unit is plastic so not heavy) on top of a couple of the large foam tiles that kids play on - reduces vibrations and noise. Use the shower-head w/cord to fill it and drain the unit in the tub water-outlet. I also clean the lint-filter every cycle. After the spin cycle, i place the cloth on a rack. All is dry the next day. Best part is i dont have to go up-and-down to the basement laundry room - i can do my laundry while im doing other stuff.
We had the same washer in our motorhome and it worked extremely well. Much better than waiting for hours at a laundromat, besides the hassle of finding a laundromat that had appropriate parking in the first place. Very nice review and great advice. Thank you.
I think this is the first time I seen someone actually show how to empty the filter. Thanks! I just got one of these and I am trying to find as many good tips as I can before actually using it.
Hi. I have the same exact one. I got it for $130, my neighbor saw mine and got hers for $80, both brand new. They have gone up but still well worth it. Had mine got over 5 years now and still working awesome.
Way better then the laundry mat, it's to expensive, wating time(wash/dry),🙄,don't have to carry cloths,. Looks cool and much better then paying a laundry mat.
Buy one asap! I used one for 8 years while I lived overseas. I would get one that is about one or two prices points more because you do get want you pay for. Pairs of jeans, to thick towels, no problems.
Great video, here in Australia these machines are called a ‘twin tub’, that is a mini twin tub. I grew up using a twin tub until I was around 15, then Mum upgraded to an automatic. They sure are reliable and pretty much the only thing that can go wrong with them is the belt wears out every couple of years, easy to replace
I have one like this. I love it. If for some reason it stops draining just pour hot water thru it. Also, I put a knee high at the end of the house to catch more of the lint from going down the drain. It is a little more work than a regular machine but it cleans the clothes really well and you don't have to go to the laundromat. I spin my clothes out twice and it speeds the drying time down. With one spin cycle they still dry pretty fast. Jeans and pants definitely get two spins.
this is a very good idea because if you are leaving in RV full-time RV is your home and no one can go to the laundry matte on daily basis or it's cold outside or rainy outside or a sick day and no one washes bedding every day so for everyday laundry this is perfect
I bought one and used it once just before moving. My problem was water tuning out. Like you said the instructions were not very helpful at all. Now that I've seen your video, I realized where I went wrong. Thank you so very much and may the Lord bless ya'll.
We have had the same one since 2017! 3 adults using it once per week for each of our clothes then we also have a day of towels, hand towels, washcloths, and kitchen towels. They are amazing machines.
Thanks for taking time to show the filter, how to remove, how to clean and how to reattach!!! It does sound a bit loud as I live in an apt complex with thin walls. However I am on the first floor so no one is above me. I guess if I keep it not touching the wall it could work out. I've been looking all day and this is the one I keep coming back to for size and function.
I have the newer model that you unboxed lol! It does work really really well, and only needs like a tablespoon of detergent! You have to be mindfull of the materials you put it and what intensity setting you use, I was washing some reuseable cloth shopping bags and the impeller beat holes in them lol. I was also impressed with the spin dryer. When they say dry, they mean it! I put some t-shirts through the spin dryer and after only a 5 minute spin they were practically ready to be worn.
I have one in my apt Mine spins them almost dry. It saves me money on washing. It's great I can wash my sons school uniforms and I hang to dry. No more laughing 3 baskets to the laundry room. I only take 1 basket to the wash room a week . Plus bedding.
I put a foot hose over the hose to catch the lint to eliminate lint going down the drains. I am 66 ears, three months and 16 days as of my comments. It is over six years and is the best washing gadget compared to regular size washing machines. I only paid around $89.00 and free shipping. I put the water in first, then the laundry detergent and let it mix and then turn on the time. As the washer starts washing, I put each piece a a time. This prevents the items from wrapping around each other. I wash according to colors and fabrics. Instead of putting more water in to rinse, I manually rinse each piece as I put into the spinner side. Very little time to do. I only spin for two minutes which is sufficient time, even for jeans and large towels. My utility bill is seriously dirt cheap each month. Saving time, money and energies having a washer/ spinner is one of the greatest inventions. Having regular size washers wasted time, money and energy. I also clean the filter after doing my laundry. I also dry out both sides to prevent mildew. Putting a knee high hose on the plastic hose eliminates lint going down the drain. It is extra protection of stuff going down the drain. I want to also mention not to put anything on top of the washer/spinner because the mechanism that operates both sides is underneath the doors under the panels. When I thought my washer/spinner was broken, I searched on UA-cam. I could not find videos but I ended up using my common sense after seeing problems similar to mine. These washers/spinner may be small in comparison to larger washing machines, but in my experience, they allow my belongings to stay new for much longer times from one year to the next. Afterall, I am not hard on clothes. Plus when my grandchildren come over, I have them hand wash stains out of their items and sometimes put Shout stain remover before putting into the washer/spinner. I live in a senior citizen apartment complex that does not have washer hookups. I also get to save time doing in the comfort of my home at my own leisure time without having to wait on anybody else doing their laundry. What is even great is that I did not have to do my laundry in the building machines when Covid lockdown, reducing me getting any of my clothing items contaminated from others that did get Covid. Germs spread from others not properly doing laundry as well as not having great personal hygiene. I forgot to mention I have a two tier tripod clothes stand and three folding clothes stands. I do not use them all together all the time. Winter months requires more clothes layering than summer months. Thanks for sharing this video via UA-cam. Also thanks for reading my comments. Smiles
I have the small one. Still using after 6 yrs but that bigger one looks awfully good. I might have two soon. Hey, I'm only one old lady but I have 6 dogs, a cat and 13 chickens. We get dirty!
I have this washer I’ve had it for almost 8 years it has been available that’s first thing second thing it does a great job but don’t over load any of the small washers and you’ll have a better result on your clothes. It doesn’t matter just do an extra load and they’ll all come out cleaner if you don’t crowd him I never washed more than 1 pair of jeans 👖 and several dark socks or a couple of dark shirts. The delicate setting doesn’t turn the speed down on mine. It works great but must be completely level.
I’ve had this washer for a couple of years now and it works great. We use it while camping and recently while we were tiling our laundry room. I think it works better than our regular one!
This was the most amazing recommendation for RV life I have ever seen. Also the brilliant demonstration & explanation was wonderful! Much gratitude!! 🙏🙏🙏. I did want to ask how you find it works with bed sheets? Again gratitude!
I've seen these units before and it's a great way to do everything except maybe blankets or something big. When camped you can string a line outdoors and benefit from the fresh air drying too.
I bought me a 26 pound one and I just ordered my daughter the 28 pound one, I have been using portable washing machine sense this Covid thing happened and it save a lot of money, so worth it
Years ago I had a washer like this. I would wash whites & spin place in basket, than colored in same wash water spin and basket, than darks. Drain wash water add rinse water and repeat. Hang to dry
Thanks for sharing, and after watching your video I've decided to get me one. I don't have a car to go to laundromat all the time so this will solve my problem. Thanks again for your experience with this product.
I have had my unit like your larger washer for over 5 years now, and it’s still going. My family of 3 adults, used weekly @ 4 loads. Great, little machine. Pais $103 from Amazon.
I have one of these too and it works great. The only thing I do differently is spin the clothes for a few minutes before I rinse. I was surprised at how much cleaner my clothes were using this little machine. Good video.
Sweet, nice review. Thanks for uploading! From what I've been learning from some other videos I've been watching on the subject of "portable" washer/dryers, the lint trap is a HUGE feature because all the lint that it removes is that much less lint gumming up your machinery and reducing the lifespan of your equipment - that's why combo units tend to fail as quickly as they do, no lint removal.
@@JouppiOutdoors Some washers don't have the lint trap. Mine doesn't have the lint trap so I bought a lint catcher that looks like a flower from amazon and it works great.
I have had 2 of these so far (gave the first to my aunt due to slum lords no extra water using device policy) and I love them! Great little washing machines. The only downsides: 1.can't do large comforters. 2. Even when using liquid fabric softener, your towels aren't gonna feel soft like they would using a dryer, but that's a clothesline issue not exclusive to these
using fabric softener actually makes towels and stuff more Hydrophobic. Use distilled vinegar to take the smell out of clothes rather than using fabric softener to hide the smells.
Thank you! This has great Amazon reviews. We order this. Get this in a week. Only $164.76 with tax and got the 2 year warranty. Excited. We live in a Motor RV. Blessings!
Thanks so much! I just purchased it for $150 using your link. I live in an apartment complex, and the laundry machines are always in use. This machine will pay for itself in a year or two. Subscribed.
Thank you!!! Living in a small third story walk up in a city I love, but with laundry in the basement. I was tired. Lol. I just hooked mine up and I can literally feel the stress releasing form my body. No more dreading wash day. Thank you for the detailed how to because the directions left much to be desired. Happy traveling to your family.
Please show any update on your portable washer spinner, definitely enjoyed this vid. Thank you so much. I pray you and your family are extremely well.😊☺
i had mine for 3 years and then i was the reason it stopped working. Had it in the tub and fell asleep while it was filling and I flooded the freak out of it and dead lol.
I have this unit and had it for about 2 years and paid $100. The spinner just went up last week and I certainly got my money worth out of this thing. Researching the replacement now
The correct word for this dry spinner is called an extractor. It extracts water. Giant ones are used like that in places like a board ships before using dryers.
I've had one for about ten years and love it. I even use it at home for washing kids clothes as I never seem to have enough to go in my large capacity washing machine
Just purchased this from Amazon. I have a traditional washer and dryer but want this for the bathroom to have an upstairs unit. Can’t wait, thanks to the demonstration!
I travel in a class B and have one similar to your old unit in size and it’s been great to have when I take extended trips. It stores in my bath during travel and when I’m at my campsite I set it in the drivers seat when not in use. When I’m ready for laundry day I just bring it over to the open are near the slider and do laundry. I have a collapsible bucket I use to fill it and drain the water and the I empty the water out into either the sink or toilet (to balance out filling the gray and black tanks since they are smaller tanks than what a larger rig has) it’s been great to have and I have not had to use a laundromat. I use it when I have full hookups so plenty of water and access to dump the tanks. I found a little tent like clothes dryer that when folded up can store inside the washer side. It’s has an air blower that goes inside the tent that has a pole and arms for hangers when set up. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but hoping it will do the trick to speed up the dry time. I also have folded plastic hangers that also store in the washer when not it use.
Thank you so much for your review. I just picked up my new camper yesterday. I really appreciate you mentioning the shower mat as I don’t want my shower floor looking bad.
It took a long time for our shower floor to get worn down, but once it did, it looked pretty bad! The shower mat will definitely help prevent that. Thanks for watching!
I have a small washing machine just like that, it turned out to be very good, it just broke after seven years of use, I was searching on UA-cam to see if I could find a different one and I found this video, I’m sure my husband can fix it, but I think I'm going to buy the same one again, thanks for your video, blessings
I see your YL oils in the background. I highly recommend switching to their laundry soap. No harmful chemicals and you won’t have to be concerned about suds. It is concentrated, so one bottle can be diluted down to make four bottles. We are a family of 8, with smaller dirty boys and teens, and one bottle lasts us almost two months. I’m not selling anything, lol. Just sharing a helpful and healthy tip. God Bless
I agree with you about the instructions not being clear, holy smokes. I watched several videos about these machines and found yours to be the best. I have the same exact machine as yours. Full time rv'er now so I sure hope to get a couple of years out of it. Thanks for the video.
I lived in an apt earlier this year and moved out in March. I bought this specific one and it was so helpful when u have no washer and dryer. Saves a ton of money too bc apt laundry is so fricken pricey. Washes pretty good, spins pretty good. After moving out I didn't need it anymore now that I moved to a home that has its own washer and dryer. It had been sitting in my garage for months. Finally sold it and said goodbye yesterday. For future, if I unexpectedly need it again. I will definitely know what to purchase again.
Great review guys. We have a new Fiver on order and have contemplated installing a combo unit. We are familiar with the old unit you had. We really like the new one. Very cost effective. And much lighter. Thanks again. Paul & Magen
I'm so glad I decided to watch this. I live in an apartment, and often can't afford the laundry room machines, as I hang most my laundry anyway this would work to save quarters...also since I have allergies, I don't have to worry about the other tennents soap residue getting on my clothes. Than you
My mom gave me the old school one, it was old and metal but awesome! I lived in the country with a baby (single mom), no running water or anything just hydro. It did all our clothes and they were practically dry after the spin cycle! One thing I did to save water, and another reason I love these is I took the hose and fed it back into the wash side to recycle the spin rinse water, to use for the second wash load. I will get one for sure for my future van build. ( I hate laundromats lol)
I have had both portable versions of the washer, spin dryers you have used and now replaced in a small apartment. They are fabulous machines but after a while a motor on one of the compartments goes. I now have replaced my old machine with just a small table top version that holds a lot with no dryer and bought a superate manual dryer. The twin washer dryer are great, but eventually there is burnout on one side with the motor. I did get my money worth for about a year to 2 years previously for 1 Machine and 1 year for the other machine. Just frustrating they don't last longer I.e motors in machines. Some peoples only last for 6-8 months. I would love to see a review on yours in 6 months and 1 year then 2 years on here.
We were pleased with the life we received out of our first washing machine. It held up a lot better than expected for a family of 3! Thanks for watching!
I bought one of these for my apartment since there was no washer and dryer. I used it for over two years. Never had an issue with it. I still have it but don't need to use it where I live now. I was surprised at how well it cleans. The spin dry does not completely dry most materials. I can live with that. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Honestly, if we had hookups for a washer/dryer we would have probably went with something like the Splendide. This little unit has been a great option though! Thanks so much for watching!
Holy Cow! What a great Idea. My Splendide washer/dryer combo stopped working shortly after I bought the RV (used). The price for repair, let alone pulling it out to take it to the repair shop has not been cost effective. This looks like a much better investment. Thanks for the great review.
It’s also great for smaller apartments that doesn’t have space for a stationary washer. It can easily be placed somewhere else but in the shower when it’s not in use.
Thank you for the video, it is much appreciated . I use wool wash since you don't need much and it's biodegradable in my washing machines. My big Bosch washer does multiple rinses in the wash cycles. I will be taking on the spin before you rinse tip with my twin tub. Thank you for the video. Another thing that might be useful thing to do is something my Nanna used to do because water was limited. She used to reuse the rinse water to wash the clothes. This saves heaps of tank water and is a good thing for the environment. All it takes is a bucket. Thanks again.
It's all about the Giantex washer/spin dry COMBO. Then pairing that with the Costway portable mini dryer. You will never have to go to a laundry mat again to wash clothes (as long as you have full hookup). That was one of the first upgrades I did in my 5th wheel. I cut out the shelves in the bunk house and slipped them both in. Tapped into the Outdoor kitchen plumbing for an on demand source of water. No moving it in and out of showers. Water fills up on its own just a push of a button. Ten times easier than the model shown in this vid and only $40 more.
That is a great option if you have the space and plumbing in place to do it. Unfortunately, our 5th wheel doesn’t have an area we can dedicate to the washer/dryer. Thank you for sharing that info and thank you for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors the combo washer/spin dry is smaller and I found longer hoses to reach the plumbing. But if just using the combo washer alone and keeping it mobile (as in this video) the combo is indeed smaller and lighter.
I was looking at portable washer/dryers some time back. It's hard to trust the reviews on Amazon to really know what has the best record. Your testimony and demonstration was helpful. I think I will get this one.
Thanks for review! Not full time but hope to do some traveling soon. Even the small one would be helpful. Good idea about bath mat ! ( thx about retractable clothesline hints also)
We have a 28 lb cosway. I love it. We're a family of 9 full timing for a year + while we build and I put that thing thru the ringer. We use the sheets of laundry soap Instead of liquid and that saves tons of space too.
Hey guys! Thanks for the video. We’re just about ready to go full time and washing clothes was something we weren’t sure what to do. We’ll be sure to do a video for the channel and give y’all a shout out if we go with this model. Thank you.
Here is a link to the installation video we did on our curtain rod. The link to it is in the description of the video. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/KiUEWifXU1E/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just received my washer today and like you said the included instructions are not good, so I really appreciate your video!
Great question! These machines are sold under many different brand names but are all the same, made by the same company. Giantex, Costway, same machine with a different name on it. Thanks for watching!
I have been using my unit (the smaller one) for about 5 years now. I take it apart and clean it thoroughly once a year and have had no problems with it. I take all of my blankets and winter jackets to the laundromat once a year because I can get them all done at once but other than that, I haven't been to a laundromat in years! I live in a tiny house and I made a shelf for it at the end of the bathtub, works great and drains right into the tub!
Why=engineering math, the motor would have to work lots harder for even a modest increase in size, also the load on the "transmission" (connecting pieces between chamber and motor).
I love my RV washer! I live in a retire Community Where they want $.75 for washing one load and $.75 to dry. I have saved a lot of money using my little washer!
I have been using a 'twin tub' washer in my home laundry for 25 years. I have just upgraded to a 22lb washer so that I can wash doonas. This washing machine saves so much water if used properly as you can use the same water for 2 or 3 loads. Start off with lights and go to dark colours changing the water when necessary. I love my twinny and will never have any other sort. FYI, I wash All my washing first and spin each load then I fill the tub with rinse water, gradually rinse and spin each load. Common sense.
The side part isnt a dryer it's a spinner in case people think their getting a hot dryer. This is great for students and small apartment living as well as caravans and motorhomes.looks amazing
I just got mine today, exciting try it! I live on 3rd floor of a duplex and running to basement is h3ll like 30 some steps one way down, lol, so I’ll only have to do that for bulky items, I’m 67 and living alone! This is gonna save me!
As a guy thats saving up money to get a van to make into a livable one these are what I would call luxury items ngl and I think i will ad these to the list
It’s a good one!
I have the same machine and love it, after you wash go ahead and spin the soapy water out of your close then put them in the rinse water. It will do a much better job of rinsing out all the soap and dirty water.. it’s such a great machine..
Thanks for the tip and thank you for watching!
With my family of 4 and no washer hook up, I bought one of these little washers and it last me 4.5 years! Awesome little washers.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
do you mind sharing the brand
I bought a Panda twin tub from Amazon.
did you use yours daily?
@@lexibuh99 with 2 little boys, yes! I had it running like crazy. Now, with 2 teens I use the same thing.
Great little washer. The Spin side spins the water out. It is NOT a dryer. It gets clothes clean. Beats going to the laundromat.
One tip from a couple that use the smaller unit, simple living Alaska (yt channel) . Is to spin dry the washed load before the rinse cycle. It adds a step , but the "spin" , between the wash and rinse , gets "out" most of the dirt remaining the cloths , before the water rinse :) give it a try and maybe , give the a shout out on their YT channel ? I am a first time viewer , but wanted to share the tip with your viewers to consider.
We might give that a try! Thank you for sharing that tip and thanks for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors definitely to your advantage in a total good rinse...
my question is would that make the dryer dirty and then make your clothes dirty again?
We also used a specially formulated non rinse liquid soap commercially for some items . Therefore just wash then spin (normal washing not very dirty.) The spin before rinse is excellent idea. This sort of thing is done commercially ie time verses money verses results. Experiment for your self. If you use wool wash is never rinsed or spin . Obviously I’m not talking about heavy soiled garments. Front loaders machine does wash spin rinse once then maybe rinse number two. We use these little machine as well as a 10kg front loader at home, always that item you do not want to go in the big machine.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing. We can't justify getting the expensive stack washer and dryer. This is a perfect option. You can replace this unit several times and still not get near the stack washer/dryer price.
You’re welcome! We have been extremely happy with the return on this investment! Thanks for watching!
Girl.. you can buy a stack washer dryer and put in your Lowe’s card or Home Depot. After 30 years of RVing, I would be without my Whirlpool stack.
@@Traveler1959 - Most RV’s are Splendia or some other brand with much, much shorter lifespans. Whirlpools weight 3x what they do.

J I’ll oj
I raised my three kids with only one of these as I was a teen mom and couldn’t afford the laundry Matt if I wanted to be able to afford to look after my elderly dog. I used it four 5 years. Then my big washer broke now 3 years later and it’s back in use going strong
Thanks for watching!
laundromat, used it for 5 yrs.
I have this machine, used it for almost three years before it started having issues. Here is a handy hint for cleaning the filter: Turn filter inside out. Use a paper towel to wipe the wet debris from filter mesh. The wet debris adheres to the paper towel and easily transfers from filter mesh to paper with a couple of gentle swipes.
Awesome tip! Thanks for sharing, that filter can be a pain for sure!
@@JouppiOutdoors funny with that filter, the old full size top loaders often had a lint trap, I think that is what it was called. I haven`t seen it on modern models at all.
These portables are light weight construction, that is the nature of them. They are still pretty economical.
No, don't use one time use products, when you can just usethe same thing with reusable cloths. Us humans in general, but the van people especially are the worse when it comes to adding millions and millions of more trash to this beautiful planet we call home. Please stop and think first before using anything "disposable." Let's not leave this planet ruined for the wildlife and the future generations. When we know better we do better.
Had a twin tub in the 70s. It was like putting my clothes in a shredder. Hope they have improved.😆
Looks like they have improved quite a bit then! No issues with clothes getting damaged.
Hoover made them in the 1960's/70's here in the USA and they were metal. My sister and I each had one when we lived in apartments. I now have a small 10 pound plastic one as a backup for my regular washer/dryer. It uses 240 watts on the washer side and 120 watts on the spinner side, so for a total of 360 watts, I can easily run it with one of my smaller power stations, even if the electric goes out. I also have a retractable clothesline and a drying rack.
Wow! I had no idea Hoover made them back then. Thanks for sharing!
@@JouppiOutdoors I remember we had one of these as a kid so that would have been in the early 70's. When we got the automatic washer my grandmother took the one like this and she thought it was the bee's knees. Used it till it died in the early 80's. It was avocado green.
Only thing you didn't mention, is "what is the wattage output"? If you're in an RV park with hook ups its no concern. But if your a Boondocker with no electrical hook up it matters when running a generator... I want this machine but wattage is a key for most of us weekend campers, hunters, or fisherman.
Looks like a great machine! Hope to hear from you! Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍
After watching this and a couple of other videos about this washing machine I bought one for myself. I have had it for almost a year. I love it! I have two bathrooms and I keep it in the guest bathroom shower. It is perfect to let it drain and use the handheld showerhead to fill it up. She is right about using only a little bit of liquid detergent. No more than a couple of tablespoons does the trick… Depending on the detergent brand, Of course. I have no complaints and I would recommend it to anybody. It is great for small places where you cannot put in your own regular machine. For one or two people it’s great!
It is light enough for me to pick it up and tuck it away into a closet if I have guests.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It is a great little washing machine!
I had a full size twin tub machine...I think it washes 6kg...I used it when I was young and moved out of my parents...
I still have one now, even though we have a front loader, but it's great for washing dirtier than normal things like old towels, mesh/lace curtains, bath mats or anything you don't want to have in contact with your clothes and bedding.
I've had this exact washer model for two years. Was handed down from a friend. I've always been impressed especially with the spin as clothes spin so dry it takes no time to dry. Put a nylon stocking on end of drain hose to catch rest of lent. I had major clog for several weeks after last use of washer
Thanks for sharing!
I purchased mine because of this video. We are on the road in a travel trailer for 6-9 months. This works perfectly for us, and I am very happy. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and still love it! I used to have a regular washing machine and when it broke down I bought our mini. It’s awesome. Key is to always clean your lint filter after every wash.
Great tip, we noticed the same thing. Thanks for watching!
where the hell is the lint thing i didnt get a manual with mine and i cant find it!!!
@@gemmaquigley3440 it’s inside the washing machine tub. If you rewatch the video when the video hits the 2:52 minutes mark it’s the little vented part in the right back corner of the washing tub. At the 11:05 mark he even shows you where it is how to take it out, did you not watch the whole video? Not sure why you’re yelling at me about not being able to find your filter.
@@amechealle5918 Lol, last line.
How well does it dry the clothes?
Bought this same unit for my 1 bedroom apartment over a year ago. I place it my bathtub (unit is plastic so not heavy) on top of a couple of the large foam tiles that kids play on - reduces vibrations and noise. Use the shower-head w/cord to fill it and drain the unit in the tub water-outlet. I also clean the lint-filter every cycle. After the spin cycle, i place the cloth on a rack. All is dry the next day.
Best part is i dont have to go up-and-down to the basement laundry room - i can do my laundry while im doing other stuff.
Thanks for watching!
I've had one of these in my RV for the last four years (I am a FT RVr), and it has been fantastic. It's one of the MUST HAVES in my RV life.
We 100% agree! Thanks for watching!
We had the same washer in our motorhome and it worked extremely well. Much better than waiting for hours at a laundromat, besides the hassle of finding a laundromat that had appropriate parking in the first place. Very nice review and great advice. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors How has your new unit held up since posting this video?
@@devildogcrewchief3335 it has held up great so far!
@@JouppiOutdoors That's all I needed to hear, I'll be getting one for sure, thanks for replying.
We avoided laundromats during COVID.
I think this is the first time I seen someone actually show how to empty the filter. Thanks! I just got one of these and I am trying to find as many good tips as I can before actually using it.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi. I have the same exact one. I got it for $130, my neighbor saw mine and got hers for $80, both brand new. They have gone up but still well worth it. Had mine got over 5 years now and still working awesome.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Way better then the laundry mat, it's to expensive, wating time(wash/dry),🙄,don't have to carry cloths,. Looks cool and much better then paying a laundry mat.
We agree! Thanks for watching!
laundrys in california are now 2024 like $17-25 EACH TIME !!! once a week!!
Buy one asap! I used one for 8 years while I lived overseas. I would get one that is about one or two prices points more because you do get want you pay for. Pairs of jeans, to thick towels, no problems.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, here in Australia these machines are called a ‘twin tub’, that is a mini twin tub. I grew up using a twin tub until I was around 15, then Mum upgraded to an automatic. They sure are reliable and pretty much the only thing that can go wrong with them is the belt wears out every couple of years, easy to replace
Thanks for watching!
Hi Gaye, where were you able to get the belt replaced? I have had 3 twin tubs & the spinner always stops after about a year. I am in SA. TIA.
@@raehall9750 hello, yes Dad always went to the hardware store & bought a belt and changed himself
Aquí es tradicional semi automática
Tengo una de 14 libras
There actual not a twin tub per say there a camp washing machine, I have one it cost $160 is about 4.5 kg or 5kg...
I have one like this. I love it. If for some reason it stops draining just pour hot water thru it. Also, I put a knee high at the end of the house to catch more of the lint from going down the drain. It is a little more work than a regular machine but it cleans the clothes really well and you don't have to go to the laundromat. I spin my clothes out twice and it speeds the drying time down. With one spin cycle they still dry pretty fast. Jeans and pants definitely get two spins.
Great tips, thanks for watching!
this is a very good idea because if you are leaving in RV full-time RV is your home and no one can go to the laundry matte on daily basis or it's cold outside or rainy outside or a sick day and no one washes bedding every day so for everyday laundry this is perfect
Thank you for watching!
laundromat
I bought one and used it once just before moving.
My problem was water tuning out. Like you said the instructions were not very helpful at all. Now that I've seen your video, I realized where I went wrong. Thank you so very much and may the Lord bless ya'll.
Glad the video was helpful! Thank you for watching!
We have had the same one since 2017! 3 adults using it once per week for each of our clothes then we also have a day of towels, hand towels, washcloths, and kitchen towels. They are amazing machines.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for taking time to show the filter, how to remove, how to clean and how to reattach!!!
It does sound a bit loud as I live in an apt complex with thin walls. However I am on the first floor so no one is above me. I guess if I keep it not touching the wall it could work out. I've been looking all day and this is the one I keep coming back to for size and function.
I don’t think there will be an issue with the noise, it’s really not that loud. Thanks for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors I'm wanting to buy one of these units! What brand is it!??
I have the newer model that you unboxed lol! It does work really really well, and only needs like a tablespoon of detergent! You have to be mindfull of the materials you put it and what intensity setting you use, I was washing some reuseable cloth shopping bags and the impeller beat holes in them lol.
I was also impressed with the spin dryer. When they say dry, they mean it! I put some t-shirts through the spin dryer and after only a 5 minute spin they were practically ready to be worn.
It’s amazing how (almost) dry they are when they come out of the spin dryer!
What kind do you have?
I have one in my apt
Mine spins them almost dry.
It saves me money on washing.
It's great I can wash my sons school uniforms and I hang to dry.
No more laughing 3 baskets to the laundry room. I only take 1 basket to the wash room a week . Plus bedding.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I put a foot hose over the hose to catch the lint to eliminate lint going down the drains. I am 66 ears, three months and 16 days as of my comments. It is over six years and is the best washing gadget compared to regular size washing machines. I only paid around $89.00 and free shipping. I put the water in first, then the laundry detergent and let it mix and then turn on the time. As the washer starts washing, I put each piece a a time. This prevents the items from wrapping around each other. I wash according to colors and fabrics. Instead of putting more water in to rinse, I manually rinse each piece as I put into the spinner side. Very little time to do. I only spin for two minutes which is sufficient time, even for jeans and large towels. My utility bill is seriously dirt cheap each month. Saving time, money and energies having a washer/ spinner is one of the greatest inventions. Having regular size washers wasted time, money and energy. I also clean the filter after doing my laundry. I also dry out both sides to prevent mildew. Putting a knee high hose on the plastic hose eliminates lint going down the drain. It is extra protection of stuff going down the drain. I want to also mention not to put anything on top of the washer/spinner because the mechanism that operates both sides is underneath the doors under the panels. When I thought my washer/spinner was broken, I searched on UA-cam. I could not find videos but I ended up using my common sense after seeing problems similar to mine. These washers/spinner may be small in comparison to larger washing machines, but in my experience, they allow my belongings to stay new for much longer times from one year to the next. Afterall, I am not hard on clothes. Plus when my grandchildren come over, I have them hand wash stains out of their items and sometimes put Shout stain remover before putting into the washer/spinner. I live in a senior citizen apartment complex that does not have washer hookups. I also get to save time doing in the comfort of my home at my own leisure time without having to wait on anybody else doing their laundry. What is even great is that I did not have to do my laundry in the building machines when Covid lockdown, reducing me getting any of my clothing items contaminated from others that did get Covid. Germs spread from others not properly doing laundry as well as not having great personal hygiene. I forgot to mention I have a two tier tripod clothes stand and three folding clothes stands. I do not use them all together all the time. Winter months requires more clothes layering than summer months. Thanks for sharing this video via UA-cam. Also thanks for reading my comments. Smiles
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and thanks for watching!
What is a foot hose?
Assuming panty type hose. They also sell metal or plastic lint catchers for end of drain hose. Saves plumbing problems
I have the small one. Still using after 6 yrs but that bigger one looks awfully good. I might have two soon. Hey, I'm only one old lady but I have 6 dogs, a cat and 13 chickens. We get dirty!
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the excellent review. Been using a wringer for 3 years because I refuse to buy an expensive stack. This will help immensely.
It’s a great machine! Thanks for watching!
I have this washer I’ve had it for almost 8 years it has been available that’s first thing second thing it does a great job but don’t over load any of the small washers and you’ll have a better result on your clothes. It doesn’t matter just do an extra load and they’ll all come out cleaner if you don’t crowd him I never washed more than 1 pair of jeans 👖 and several dark socks or a couple of dark shirts. The delicate setting doesn’t turn the speed down on mine. It works great but must be completely level.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Does it really dry the clothes?
I’ve had this washer for a couple of years now and it works great. We use it while camping and recently while we were tiling our laundry room. I think it works better than our regular one!
Thank you for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoorsI really appreciate how you took your time to show how it works most videos they don’t show everything thank you so much
This was the most amazing recommendation for RV life I have ever seen. Also the brilliant demonstration & explanation was wonderful! Much gratitude!! 🙏🙏🙏. I did want to ask how you find it works with bed sheets? Again gratitude!
It works great with bed sheets, we take our comforter to the laundromat though. Thank you for watching!
I've seen these units before and it's a great way to do everything except maybe blankets or something big. When camped you can string a line outdoors and benefit from the fresh air drying too.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
I bought me a 26 pound one and I just ordered my daughter the 28 pound one, I have been using portable washing machine sense this Covid thing happened and it save a lot of money, so worth it
We absolutely love ours and it has saved us a tremendous amount of time and money vs going to a laundromat! Thanks for watching!
Years ago I had a washer like this. I would wash whites & spin place in basket, than colored in same wash water spin and basket, than darks. Drain wash water add rinse water and repeat. Hang to dry
Treated like my mother did laundry with an old ringer washer.
Thanks for watching!
First time I ever saw one of these was in Liverpool around about 1980 my mother-in-law's house
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing, and after watching your video I've decided to get me one. I don't have a car to go to laundromat all the time so this will solve my problem. Thanks again for your experience with this product.
You’re welcome! It is working great for us, thank you for watching!
I have had my unit like your larger washer for over 5 years now, and it’s still going. My family of 3 adults, used weekly @ 4 loads. Great, little machine. Pais $103 from Amazon.
They’re awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I have one of these too and it works great. The only thing I do differently is spin the clothes for a few minutes before I rinse. I was surprised at how much cleaner my clothes were using this little machine. Good video.
Thanks for watching!
Sweet, nice review. Thanks for uploading!
From what I've been learning from some other videos I've been watching on the subject of "portable" washer/dryers, the lint trap is a HUGE feature because all the lint that it removes is that much less lint gumming up your machinery and reducing the lifespan of your equipment - that's why combo units tend to fail as quickly as they do, no lint removal.
I believe the lint trap will prolong the life (hopefully). We are very happy with this new unit so far! Thanks for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors Some washers don't have the lint trap. Mine doesn't have the lint trap so I bought a lint catcher that looks like a flower from amazon and it works great.
I have had 2 of these so far (gave the first to my aunt due to slum lords no extra water using device policy) and I love them! Great little washing machines. The only downsides: 1.can't do large comforters. 2. Even when using liquid fabric softener, your towels aren't gonna feel soft like they would using a dryer, but that's a clothesline issue not exclusive to these
Thanks for watching!
using fabric softener actually makes towels and stuff more Hydrophobic. Use distilled vinegar to take the smell out of clothes rather than using fabric softener to hide the smells.
Thank you! This has great Amazon reviews. We order this. Get this in a week. Only $164.76 with tax and got the 2 year warranty. Excited. We live in a Motor RV. Blessings!
You’re welcome! Ours is still going strong!
In the UK we called those twin tubs and frankly better than front loaders..
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! I just purchased it for $150 using your link. I live in an apartment complex, and the laundry machines are always in use. This machine will pay for itself in a year or two. Subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you!!! Living in a small third story walk up in a city I love, but with laundry in the basement. I was tired. Lol. I just hooked mine up and I can literally feel the stress releasing form my body. No more dreading wash day. Thank you for the detailed how to because the directions left much to be desired. Happy traveling to your family.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Please show any update on your portable washer spinner, definitely enjoyed this vid. Thank you so much. I pray you and your family are extremely well.😊☺
It’s actually still working perfectly! Thank you for watching!
Great review, especially since you have been using it so long. Wow it does spin good. The close line is good ideal.
Thank you! It does a surprisingly great job for such a small lightweight washer. Thanks so much for watching!
i had mine for 3 years and then i was the reason it stopped working. Had it in the tub and fell asleep while it was filling and I flooded the freak out of it and dead lol.
Oh no! That’s unfortunate!
I have this unit and had it for about 2 years and paid $100. The spinner just went up last week and I certainly got my money worth out of this thing. Researching the replacement now
Exactly what we paid for our original one! $100 for two years is an excellent value in my book! Thanks for watching!
Find a unit with a stainless steel basket spinner works better than plastic one ...
i love that you have complete control over it. you can even watch it work with the lid open
The correct word for this dry spinner is called an extractor. It extracts water. Giant ones are used like that in places like a board ships before using dryers.
Thanks for the clarification!
Noticed that this video is about 2 yrs old how is the washer now? I'm wanting to get one and thinking about purchasing this same one.
We are still using this unit for all of our regular laundry needs! Thanks for watching!
I've had one for about ten years and love it. I even use it at home for washing kids clothes as I never seem to have enough to go in my large capacity washing machine
Thank you for sharing!
Just purchased this from Amazon. I have a traditional washer and dryer but want this for the bathroom to have an upstairs unit. Can’t wait, thanks to the demonstration!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I travel in a class B and have one similar to your old unit in size and it’s been great to have when I take extended trips. It stores in my bath during travel and when I’m at my campsite I set it in the drivers seat when not in use. When I’m ready for laundry day I just bring it over to the open are near the slider and do laundry. I have a collapsible bucket I use to fill it and drain the water and the I empty the water out into either the sink or toilet (to balance out filling the gray and black tanks since they are smaller tanks than what a larger rig has) it’s been great to have and I have not had to use a laundromat. I use it when I have full hookups so plenty of water and access to dump the tanks. I found a little tent like clothes dryer that when folded up can store inside the washer side. It’s has an air blower that goes inside the tent that has a pole and arms for hangers when set up. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but hoping it will do the trick to speed up the dry time. I also have folded plastic hangers that also store in the washer when not it use.
Thank you for sharing!
Alright, you won me over. We are living in RV while building a house, so this is perfect. Thanks.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for your review. I just picked up my new camper yesterday. I really appreciate you mentioning the shower mat as I don’t want my shower floor looking bad.
It took a long time for our shower floor to get worn down, but once it did, it looked pretty bad! The shower mat will definitely help prevent that. Thanks for watching!
I have a small washing machine just like that, it turned out to be very good, it just broke after seven years of use, I was searching on UA-cam to see if I could find a different one and I found this video, I’m sure my husband can fix it, but I think I'm going to buy the same one again, thanks for your video, blessings
It’s been a great unit for us! Thanks for watching!
I see your YL oils in the background. I highly recommend switching to their laundry soap. No harmful chemicals and you won’t have to be concerned about suds. It is concentrated, so one bottle can be diluted down to make four bottles. We are a family of 8, with smaller dirty boys and teens, and one bottle lasts us almost two months. I’m not selling anything, lol. Just sharing a helpful and healthy tip. God Bless
Great tip! Erica actually makes our hand soap using them and we love it! Thank you for the tip and thanks for watching!
I agree with you about the instructions not being clear, holy smokes. I watched several videos about these machines and found yours to be the best. I have the same exact machine as yours. Full time rv'er now so I sure hope to get a couple of years out of it. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Great system and by not using a dryer, the energy savings are great. seems like a good option for apartment dwellers too!
It definitely is! Thanks for watching!
I lived in an apt earlier this year and moved out in March. I bought this specific one and it was so helpful when u have no washer and dryer. Saves a ton of money too bc apt laundry is so fricken pricey. Washes pretty good, spins pretty good. After moving out I didn't need it anymore now that I moved to a home that has its own washer and dryer. It had been sitting in my garage for months. Finally sold it and said goodbye yesterday. For future, if I unexpectedly need it again. I will definitely know what to purchase again.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this review. This sure will make traveling with a small child easier. I didn’t know this was possible, thanks for sharing. ✌️🇨🇦
You’re welcome! This has been such a great option for us. Glad you found the review helpful and thanks for watching!
I want one of these I have a regular washer and dryer but this looks cute
Thanks for watching!
Great review guys. We have a new Fiver on order and have contemplated installing a combo unit. We are familiar with the old unit you had. We really like the new one. Very cost effective. And much lighter. Thanks again. Paul & Magen
These little washing machines have been a lifesaver for us! Remarkably reliable and durable considering the price! Thank you for watching!
I'm so glad I decided to watch this. I live in an apartment, and often can't afford the laundry room machines, as I hang most my laundry anyway this would work to save quarters...also since I have allergies, I don't have to worry about the other tennents soap residue getting on my clothes. Than you
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Ok. That's the one I'm gonna get ....thanks yall
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
My mom gave me the old school one, it was old and metal but awesome! I lived in the country with a baby (single mom), no running water or anything just hydro. It did all our clothes and they were practically dry after the spin cycle! One thing I did to save water, and another reason I love these is I took the hose and fed it back into the wash side to recycle the spin rinse water, to use for the second wash load. I will get one for sure for my future van build. ( I hate laundromats lol)
I have had both portable versions of the washer, spin dryers you have used and now replaced in a small apartment. They are fabulous machines but after a while a motor on one of the compartments goes. I now have replaced my old machine with just a small table top version that holds a lot with no dryer and bought a superate manual dryer. The twin washer dryer are great, but eventually there is burnout on one side with the motor. I did get my money worth for about a year to 2 years previously for 1 Machine and 1 year for the other machine. Just frustrating they don't last longer I.e motors in machines. Some peoples only last for 6-8 months. I would love to see a review on yours in 6 months and 1 year then 2 years on here.
We were pleased with the life we received out of our first washing machine. It held up a lot better than expected for a family of 3! Thanks for watching!
I bought one of these for my apartment since there was no washer and dryer. I used it for over two years. Never had an issue with it. I still have it but don't need to use it where I live now. I was surprised at how well it cleans. The spin dry does not completely dry most materials. I can live with that. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
That’s a great alternative. We did the Spledide in our Momentum. Way more expensive and probably won’t last much longer. Great share. 👍
Honestly, if we had hookups for a washer/dryer we would have probably went with something like the Splendide. This little unit has been a great option though! Thanks so much for watching!
Holy Cow! What a great Idea. My Splendide washer/dryer combo stopped working shortly after I bought the RV (used). The price for repair, let alone pulling it out to take it to the repair shop has not been cost effective. This looks like a much better investment. Thanks for the great review.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
It’s also great for smaller apartments that doesn’t have space for a stationary washer. It can easily be placed somewhere else but in the shower when it’s not in use.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video, it is much appreciated . I use wool wash since you don't need much and it's biodegradable in my washing machines. My big Bosch washer does multiple rinses in the wash cycles. I will be taking on the spin before you rinse tip with my twin tub. Thank you for the video.
Another thing that might be useful thing to do is something my Nanna used to do because water was limited. She used to reuse the rinse water to wash the clothes. This saves heaps of tank water and is a good thing for the environment. All it takes is a bucket. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
It's all about the Giantex washer/spin dry COMBO. Then pairing that with the Costway portable mini dryer. You will never have to go to a laundry mat again to wash clothes (as long as you have full hookup). That was one of the first upgrades I did in my 5th wheel. I cut out the shelves in the bunk house and slipped them both in. Tapped into the Outdoor kitchen plumbing for an on demand source of water. No moving it in and out of showers. Water fills up on its own just a push of a button. Ten times easier than the model shown in this vid and only $40 more.
That is a great option if you have the space and plumbing in place to do it. Unfortunately, our 5th wheel doesn’t have an area we can dedicate to the washer/dryer. Thank you for sharing that info and thank you for watching!
@@JouppiOutdoors the combo washer/spin dry is smaller and I found longer hoses to reach the plumbing. But if just using the combo washer alone and keeping it mobile (as in this video) the combo is indeed smaller and lighter.
I was looking at portable washer/dryers some time back. It's hard to trust the reviews on Amazon to really know what has the best record. Your testimony and demonstration was helpful. I think I will get this one.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for review! Not full time but hope to do some traveling soon. Even the small one would be helpful. Good idea about bath mat ! ( thx about retractable clothesline hints also)
You’re welcome! Figuring out laundry without going to a laundromat was a big deal for us. Definitely worth the investment! Thank you for watching!
We have a 28 lb cosway. I love it. We're a family of 9 full timing for a year + while we build and I put that thing thru the ringer. We use the sheets of laundry soap Instead of liquid and that saves tons of space too.
Awesome! We will have to look into the sheets, great idea. Thank you for watching!
Another tip : hold the machine still when starting the spin dryer so it doesn't shake and move it.
Great tip! It definitely shakes a bit while it gets wound up! Thanks for watching
Hey guys! Thanks for the video. We’re just about ready to go full time and washing clothes was something we weren’t sure what to do. We’ll be sure to do a video for the channel and give y’all a shout out if we go with this model. Thank you.
You’re welcome! We still use this for 99% of our laundry and it’s still going strong. Thanks for watching and safe travels!
Can you share the curtain rod you purchased? I love that!!
Here is a link to the installation video we did on our curtain rod. The link to it is in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
ua-cam.com/video/KiUEWifXU1E/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just received my washer today and like you said the included instructions are not good, so I really appreciate your video!
You’re welcome! Glad the video was helpful!
Giantex..."Costway" on the machine...is that Brand and the specific version is "Costway" as labeled on the new washer from out of the box??
Great question! These machines are sold under many different brand names but are all the same, made by the same company. Giantex, Costway, same machine with a different name on it. Thanks for watching!
I have been using my unit (the smaller one) for about 5 years now. I take it apart and clean it thoroughly once a year and have had no problems with it. I take all of my blankets and winter jackets to the laundromat once a year because I can get them all done at once but other than that, I haven't been to a laundromat in years! I live in a tiny house and I made a shelf for it at the end of the bathtub, works great and drains right into the tub!
Thanks for sharing! Definitely worth it!
You’re welcome! We definitely prefer this over going to a laundromat! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I’ve been looking at this on Amazon, but was not convinced. Now it’s on my list. Safe travels.
Thank you for watching!
That is pretty cool, they should make the drying side as big as the washer side.
We have also wondered why they made the dryer side smaller? Definitely works very well though! Thanks for watching!
Why=engineering math, the motor would have to work lots harder for even a modest increase in size, also the load on the "transmission" (connecting pieces between chamber and motor).
Really excellent video. The comparison between the old and new is what I needed to see. And how loud the spin cycle is.
Thank you!
That's great! Thanks for the review, to show us how it works! 👍🏻
You’re welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
I love my RV washer! I live in a retire Community Where they want $.75 for washing one load and $.75 to dry. I have saved a lot of money using my little washer!
I have been using a 'twin tub' washer in my home laundry for 25 years. I have just upgraded to a 22lb washer so that I can wash doonas. This washing machine saves so much water if used properly as you can use the same water for 2 or 3 loads. Start off with lights and go to dark colours changing the water when necessary. I love my twinny and will never have any other sort. FYI, I wash All my washing first and spin each load then I fill the tub with rinse water, gradually rinse and spin each load. Common sense.
Thanks for the tip!
I have the washer and I live in a home. Ours broke and we had to wait for repairs and I ordered it from Amazon and I love it. I kept it!
It’s a great little unit, thanks for watching!
The side part isnt a dryer it's a spinner in case people think their getting a hot dryer. This is great for students and small apartment living as well as caravans and motorhomes.looks amazing
It’s a great little machine!
Haha yeah I thought that's the cutest dryer I wonder how hot it gets..😆 thanks for pointing it out.
I just got mine today, exciting try it! I live on 3rd floor of a duplex and running to basement is h3ll like 30 some steps one way down, lol, so I’ll only have to do that for bulky items, I’m 67 and living alone! This is gonna save me!
It has been a great purchase for us! Thanks for watching!
