This washing machines design may not be liked as it is not anything elegant or fancy looking. But man is the build quality on this thing magnificent. Even with it not having the industrial materials made to make other washing machines such as LG, and Samsung it held up. (We used this about every week or so) it is lightweight so the ease of moving it around the house was definitely a bonus. I had constructed a table and set up in the laundry room for it to drain into a container. We did not want to have to put it in the bathtub every time. Also I did not want any fuzzies from socks and clothes to clog our drains. The drains very fast so as soon as you switch it to drain be ready as water will come out fast. Once you spin dry it is amazing how little time it takes for your clothes to dry. Within an hour or so. It did leak a bit after use just be sure to let it sit on drain for 30min or so. It holds so much clothes I did a week’s worth of work clothes (heavy material) in one in a half washes. Overall this worked for us for what we needed. If you’re looking to just throw your clothes in a machine and put it on a 28min wash mode then throw in the dryer for another 20. This is not going to be your friend. We liked being able to save money as this is not running water the whole wash. We also like the process. Wash and hang dry. Good luck on your findings.

I have to say I'm pretty impressed.The agitator side holds a fair amount, not nearly as much as a regular washer, but a pair of sweats or pants, a couple of shirts, couple of underwear and a couple pair of socks. The spinner side is REALLY small, but super efficient and only takes 5 minutes or less to spin out significantly more water than a regular washer does, so it cuts down on drying time significantly. Most wash loads have to be done in 2 separate spin loads.The blankets I had when I got it, fit in the washing side, but not in the spinner side, so I had to buy less fluffy blankets. The new blankets take a little effort to get into the spinner, and they fill it completely, but it washes and spins them just fine.I'm considering switching to a portable washer than washes and spins in the same tub, so I can wash larger items, but I also suspect they will not do nearly as good a job at removing water as the tiny spinner in this thing.Overall REALLY happy with it! It sits up on top of little risers, in the bathtub of my RV, so I can just let it drain into the tub.

I have been washing clothes by hand for decades. I would only use laundry facilities when washing bulky or heavy items. Everything else I washed in a bucket with a plunger-looking thingy (that I also bought on Amazon). I do not find hand washing to be onerous. On the contrary, most of the wash time is soak time. But as I have been doing laundry this way for decades, over the years, I noticed that I had less strength in my hands, wrists, and arms, and wringing out the clothes was difficult. I would end up draping dripping clothes on my drying rack. It was a mess.Enter this washing machine. Now, my mom and grandma had portable Hoover washing machines in the 70’s and 80’s that they rolled up to the kitchen sink. They were heavy beasts made of metal and had thick, rubber hoses that actually could fit on a faucet. This is not those. This is a plastic made-in-China thing with thin plastic hoses that could never in a million years fit on any American faucet.If you think this thing is a replacement for a “real” washing machine, you’d be wrong. It’s not even a replacement for the old-timey portable washing machines. What this thing is is an easier way to hand wash. If you think of it this way, you’ll never be disappointed.It’s very light, which is good. I pick it up easily and put it in my tub. The inlet hose is a joke, so I fill a bucket and pour the water in the washer that way. Others have rigged up funnels on their shower head. You’ll figure something out. I don’t find that to be much of a pain; after all, I’m used to doing laundry by hand, so this is similar enough that I’m not bothered. If you’re used to a large automatic washer where you throw the clothes in, set it, and walk away for a half hour or more, this will seem to be a pain in the butt. But coming from hand washing, it’s fine.The best part of this is the spinner. It gets so much water out of my clothes that they are barely damp when I hang them on my drying rack. No more wringing! That is the best part. Heck, I wouldn’t mind washing clothes by hand in my bucket and just using the spinner function to get the water out.Don’t use too much detergent. Most people have that problem when using any kind of washer. You don’t need tons of suds. Also, keep the water in the tub while spinning. You need the weight. Drain it after you’re done using the spinner.In conclusion, if you think you’re getting a smaller, lighter version of an automatic washing machine, you’ll be disappointed. But if you want something a step up from hand washing, then this is the thing for you. You’ll love it! No more wringing!
