Giantex Portable Compact 13 Lbs Mini Twin Tub Washing Machine Washer Spin Dryer (Black&White)

The media could not be loaded. EDIT: I've been using this about once a week for 5 straight months and it's still working perfectly! I was able to wash a queen size duvet COVER (not the insert) and it cleaned very well! Obviously, it's too big for the spin dryer.I just used this for the first time and I'm impressed at how well it cleans! I washed a bunch of shirts and towels and they all came out very clean and smelling fresh!I saw a lot of reviewers complaining the directions were nondescript and not helpful, but the directions definitely helped me. Still, it's a simple machine that is really not hard to figure out.The water inlet hose is really pretty useless. It's much easier and faster to just fill the tub with a bucket or shower hose.The spin dryer works very well! It got my microfiber bath towel 97% dry after spinning for less than 1 minute. I could only put a few things in there at a time, if you put too much in it clunks around like crazy. I also wring things out a little before putting them in the spinner but I don't think that's actually necessary.I only have two small gripes with this machine,1) It's pretty loud. Because the washer and spinner both spin so fast and aggressively it is not only loud but it also vibrates a little. I will only use it when my landlord isn't home because he lives below me.2) I just wish the drain hose was a little longer.I'm very happy with this washer, hopefully it lasts a long time! I did buy a 3 year protection plan though, just in case.

The media could not be loaded. Update! After a year of use- and having cats, the drain clogged inside underneath the unit with no access to get it unclogged- even after taking (what we could reach) apart. Also used a toothed plastic drain snake, the drain pipe is curved so couldn’t reach the clog. The manufacturer NEEDS to create a way to clean and/or clear a lint/hair clog.Great little apartment washer! It’s not an automatic water fill washer - you either fill it with the hose supplied from the faucet or use a bucket. The wash bucket side is roomy enough - I washed 4 XXL long sleeve henleys, 2 pair of underwear with no problem. It’s only large enough for one large mans pair of jeans- which is ok with me. Very strong agitation on the wash side. If you wash what you wear each day or two it’s great. The spin side doesn’t hold what the wash side holds- I did one shirt at a time just to spin the water out. I did not use water in the spin side. To rinse, your best bet is to re-fill the washer side with water and rinse clothes that way. It works well. The spin side works really is great to get the water out! Clothes dry very fast hanging them. I recommend this for apartment use for clothing only. It’s great! Would have given 5 stars if the washer hoses were heavier made and use does require a little work with watching water level and splitting up the load to spin it.

This product does a fine job of cleaning clothes; however, the engineering put into it was very lazy.The bottom of the machine clearly has a spot where wheels COULD have been attached, or at least included as an optional addon, but were sadly not. Luckily it is light enough to pickup and move. The drain pipe could be longer or at least easily replaceable with a longer pipe, instead my options are limited as to where I can use this machine (in the bath tub exclusively)The worst part is, after a month's use the spin dry has rubbed a hole through the side of the inner wall. I realize that you cannot put too much into the spinner otherwise it may be out of balance, but sometimes that does not even matter. I put a few clothing items in the spinner, level it off, and switch it on. The entire machine will STILL shake and I have to immediately switch it off to make adjustments. Sometimes this can go on 5-6 times before it finally will spin properly. These short instances are what rubbed a hole in the side wall. The sad part is that simply better engineering could have solved this. Less sway on the drum or a wider operation area would have done the trick.I guess not much QA went into this product. Disappointed for the price.

I bought this washing machine a few weeks ago and have been using it exclusively for the laundry of a family of 4 since then. I like its sleek design, simple operation and very efficient spin dryer. I went into this purchase thinking it was only going to hold a few items but I was pleasantly surprised to find it can hold quite a bit. Even king-size sheets fit! The drain hose definitely needs to be longer. Some plastic has "shed" from the machine and exited via the drainage hose. And since the drain function relies on gravity to do its job, the washer cannot simply sit on the floor and drain properly. When loaded with clothes and water, I estimate that the washer weighs nearly 70 pounds which may be too much weight for some people to lift. I am in the process of building a custom cabinet for the washer that will safely elevate it for draining purposes. I also use the detachable showerhead in my bathroom to fill the tub with water as it's simpler than fiddling with hoses. So far, it's done a good cleaning job, including some stains on clothes. Keep in mind that using this machine requires more hands-on labor and time than a standard automatic washer but if you have the time and want to save money, this is a good buy. Also keep in mind that you need a place to line dry all your laundry and that clothes will not feel as soft as if you had dried them with heat. For the price, I am for the most part happy with what I received.
