Fun fact, this type of washer has been around for more than 70 years. I had a slightly larger one once from the sixties. I now have one of the newer ones. They are all basically the same, just different sizes and prices to suit any situation.
Yes!! They are so efficient as well. I've seen some that are a bit bigger and smaller than mine. Since it's only 2 of us, mine works great!
My grandmother had one for her trailer back in the 70's and she always said it was a great little washing machine. She thought it did a better job that the community washing machines. I'm looking to get one of these myself.
Yep my grandma used one for her children's cloth diapersđ
I've had mine for a couple of years, now & it does ALL my laundry EXCEPT for comforters & floor rugs. Those are best left for the laundromat gigantic machine. Here are a couple of tips. I'm 5' 10" so never ever wash more than 1 pair of pants at a time, or else you'll have 3700 knots that only a sailor can undo. I have invested in some mesh garment bags & those are a game changer! My "full" load consists of 1 pair of pants (or a skirt), 1 pair of shorts & 4 shirts OR two pillow cases with flat & fitted queen sized sheets. My machine sits snugly on 4 cinder blocks right next to my shower for easy drainage & I use my hand held shower head to fill. A full wash with two rinses & two spin cycles takes me 35 minutes. Start to finish.
This is SO helpful!!! Thank you!! Yess! Bigger loads like comforters are definitely not good with these.. because of the size. I'm also happy to hear that yours has lasted for yrs. I hope that if I take care of mine, it'll last as well. By the way, do yours have any problems/ issues with pilling?
@@JoannaRoxanne If you have clothes bunching up, lighten the load & put two new tennis balls, in the tub. These jump around as the tub agitates & they keep the clothes un bunched. I clean the machine (inside & out) with clorox wipes once a week. Complete game changer!
@@JoannaRoxanne Duh, sorry...I also invested in a lint roller & "pill" shaver, available at Walmart. It looks like a small electric razor. I have not needed to use it when using a quality & properly sized mesh bag.
This is a genius product! Gotta be life changing for apartments that donât have washers and dryers. đđđ
Right!?!? There's even smaller ones, but I think the size I got is just right!! :)
It is just unfortunate that the washer is not bigger.
I only run a wash cycle, first wash are my wifes clothes, or my weekend/after work clothes (i work construction). An awesome tip since this machine hates softener is to put in a capful of apple cider vingegar in the wash. I do my rinse in the tub in a rubbermaid. Its less water and an excellent workout. When i hang my clothes ill put a fan blowing on them to dry by morning. Happy laundryđ
Iâm so glad Iâm not the only one who makes up random songs and Iâm so happy you shared this đ thanks for the video!
hahaha making up songs is the best!!! I'm so glad to meet a fellow song writer! LOL
Great video! I am so with you. I LOVE doing laundry. It's so satisfying to do. My wife and kids don't mind not having to do laundry. I do all laundry: wash, dry, fold, and deliver, every day. It's part of my morning routine. : )
Yessss!!! Isn't it so relaxing?? I also love the smell of new clothes roaming my home. So good!! And they are so lucky to have you!! :)
Yes I love doing laundry too, it relaxes me for some reason.
Okay so I totally didnât even know this existed!!! Amazon literally has everything I just found a mini air conditioner đ€Ł but this is awesome! Also love your drying rack itâs so handy! Canât wait to see future videos from you đ„°
I have one of the ac units. Luv it, genius product!
I've never heard of portable washers, thanks so much for sharing your opinion!
I love how you edited this video- especially how you showed us how to move around and turn on the portable washer and dryer. This has to be a really good portable washing machine because Amazon is sold out of it. I saw that Walmart has it- so I got it from there too. If it wasn't because of you, I would not have known that this thing existed! SO COOL!
Also, cute song! I was not expecting that LOL
Yesss! I always make up songs in the spot! đ
Thank you so much for this video! Iâve been putting off getting a portable washer for so long but I think Iâm finally sold.
Me too. I put it off for over a year because honestly I didn't think it was going to be worth it- for being small. But the second I got it, I've been using it weekly. It's just efficient and comfortable being in your own home doing laundry!
The machine looks convenient and space friendly.đ Thank you for showing the portable washer and dryer in detail! Your dog is so cute!đ
Awww, thank you!! :)
I love Amazon Soo much!! I'm currently waiting on a package from them đ that portable washer and dryer is so much smaller that I was expecting!! It's perfect for if you don't have a washer and dryer in a small apartment
I know right!? And it's not heavy at all!! I'm never getting rid of it. I'll even take it camping with me if I have to đđ
@@JoannaRoxanne I didn't even think about taking it camping!!! That's so smart
Girl! This is such a neat device.Amazon has everything. Ive never seen one before. $100 is a great price. Your apt. is really spacious. Your dogs are soo cute.
Hiii! I'm glad I introduced you to a portable washer haha. They come in handy!! đđ
Love the review! When I was searching for an apt i was really reluctant on needing to do laundry in the laundry room but having a laundry machine in unit is expensive so this is a nice alternative! Also love the song!
Me too!! Even when buildings have laundry rooms, I feel so awkward using them...especially if there are other ppl there. Haha. And yes!! There are many other sizes too. Some are smaller, some are a bit bigger too!
haha... so cute. CLEARLY showing her teacher side when she starts singing!
Fun and informative video! Please... remove the plastic and enjoy your purchase. Anyone you gift or sell it to will still love it!
Hahah after all the comments, I finally did take off the plastic LOL and thank you! đ„°
@@JoannaRoxanne I am glad to hear this. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
At the price people pay in New York for rent, it should come with not only a washer/dryer, but a maid to do the laundry! đł
I can't believe the cost of rent that people have to pay in places like New York and California.
Here in eastern ky my neighbor has a nice 2 BR apartment with garage and pays $595 per month, and when she learned that the new owners were raising the rent by $50 she went nuts. đ
Also, can you just pour water into it by bucket if you don't have a sink to connect to?
It is ridiculously high compared to other places in The States. đŹ sadly we get used to the rent prices here quickly:/
And LOL yes! My friends who pay less than 1k a month for rent always tell me about all their utilities included haha đ
And YES! You can definitely use a bucket to pour water into it đ
@@JoannaRoxanne One more thing. This unit doesn't actually dry the clothes with any heat right?
It's just a spin-dry?
How dry are the clothes when you remove them from the unit? Thanks
I have one and the actual dryer. The trick with spinner is snake it in circular motion, like a coil. Spinner uses centrivicle force to dry. I wash a week of me and kid's clothing. LOVE IT!
Yesss me too!!! Portable washers are so convenient! đđ„ș
You have to be a KG teacher and I bet the kids just love you! Thanks for a good video!!
I'm currently a 4th grade teacher, but I was a Pre-K teacher for 3 years!! Love my kids, we always sing LOL
sooooo good. I cant tolerate any scented detergents i have a sensitivity so ive decided to look into getting my own personal washer like this! soo inspiring! thank you
These small washers are so worth it in the long run!! đđ
omg your dog is adorableee! i've never thought about portable washers and dryers, wowww :0 your review is so thorough and i love your cadence!
Hiii! I'm glad you think about these washers now haha they could come in handy one day!!
Hey gorgeous, new subscriber here! Omg how neat! I absolutely love seeing the process of the mini washer, so nice! Also love your song about washing in New York, so beautiful! Wonderful video â€ïžâ€ïž
Right!? It's so cute and small! And LOL thank you! đâ„ïž
This was the best purchase Iâve made in awhile my apartment complex has washer and dryers but they cost $4.50 to wash and dry that adds up after awhile
YES! I will forever keep this washer. I use it all the time and just have gotten used to it now. I tell all my friends about it when they are moving into a new place. So worth it!
omg no way i didn't know this existed hahha, this is great!! thanks for sharing, joanna! :)
Amazon literally has everything!!! enjoyed this
It does!!! I need to step away from it sometimes just to not buy something haha đ
czcams.com/video/zplNxl_W7gc/video.html
I had one just like this one for two years until it broke on me,So I went out & purchased me a panda automatic washing machine & it works well,I enjoyed mine & it saved me so much time and money,Now I have a panda 3.5 Heat Dryer,I have a large family
I had to search this one up to see what it is. It looks amazing!! Since it's only two of us, my current portable washer does it's job. But I can definitely see myself upgrading if and when my family starts to grow. Thanks for letting me know of this one!!! đ„°đ„°đ„°
How long does it take your clothes to dry with the hanging method and have you ever thought of placing a fan facing the clothe to dry faster.? If so how long does it take dry with a fan and without a fanâŠsorry just curious cause Iâm thinking of getting this one as wellđ
Hi Roxanne! Oooo we have the same name! haha that made me so happy!! Okay so I've never tried a fan, but trust me even without a fan, they dry within 2 hrs!! so I usually do laundry at night so that they are dry in the morning. Or I wash in the morning in case I need an outfit for the afternoon/ evening. I use this washing machine once a week and love it!
Thank you Joanna! As always you are giving us the best tips! Tilichi my favorite one!!!
Hiiii! Tili is so spoiled because everybody thinks he is so tiny and cute LOL
Wow,what a wonderful upload! This is fantastic! So nice to watch another great upload!
Hi! Thank you for supporting my channel ! đ„°đ„°đ„°
Hey Girl! I am here for this! I love AMAZON!
Thanks to the portable washer and spin dry, we no longer have to worry about if we have enough money for the laundromat. Plus ,while doing laundry there are other chores we could be doing around the đ that will save us time. â€ïžđ„°
YES! Whenever I do laundry, I take advantage and do things like wash the dishes, vacuum/ mop, and before I know it, laundry is done! :)
I own both a regular washer/dryer machines and a compact portable washer/spin dry machine. I end up using the portable machine because the way my home is set up, I can do all my laundry (wash and air dry) without having to lug all the laundry up and down the stairs. Using the portable washer and air dry uses less water and electricity than the regular washer/dryer. And there's something kind of cathartic about doing my laundry with the portable machine. It seems more relaxed, and I feel like I'm in my own thoughts. If that makes any sense.
Oh definitely!! I actually ENJOY doing laundry. It's peaceful. I get to take my time and thunk about other things while seeing this task get completed. I also agree- it doesn't hurt my electricity bill qt all. So that's a huge plus! đ„°
Using a small amount of fabric softener in the final rinse will prevent the clothes from feeling stiff since you will not be fluffing them in a dryer.
Ooooo I'll try it this weekend, I was just so nervous that it would come out weird LOL
This was sooooo satisfying to watch!! Loved your singing haha đ
Thank you- I'm really considering singing is my next career LOL jk
Yes thatâs the con for me as well! A lot of manual work, you can only set the spinner times does not automatically fill up and drain and rinse. But other than that best thing Iâve ever bought!!
I know, it is lots of manual work, but it's so convenient!!! And it actually fits at home!! đ đ đ
Looks portable washer and dryer,thanks for sharing keep it up
This was awesome! It will be a game changer in my BK apartment! THANK YOU
I'm so excited for you to try it!!! Keep me updated!! The first two times might be tricky, but you'll get the hang of it!! :D
I heard about this two years ago. Now I'm considering literally
Your little puppy is soooooo cute! Btw, I had never seen a portable washing and spin dryer before... so cool:)
Right!? I didnt know about them until a year ago! đđ
czcams.com/video/zplNxl_W7gc/video.html
Honestly, I get some weird gratification from doing the laundry at home using this machine. I just bought one and I get excited to do the laundry. We be some weirdos lol
LOL YES!
I love laundry day!!!
This video was useful THANK YOU !!!! & love the dogs !!!! First time on your channel and Iâm already subscribed
Hi Samuel! I'm glad you enjoyed my video. This washer is such a life saver! And yay! Thank you so much đ„°đ„°
Just got mines .! Great video hun đŻđŻ
Omg!!! I had no idea this existed! So smart đ
It is so cool and tiny!!
Love a good amazon purchase, Joanna. I used to use one of these before and they are good! Love your original song, that was a fun surprise đđ.
They are surprisingly really handy and work so well! Haha thank you. Please don't forget to nominate me for a Grammy award đđđđ
@@JoannaRoxanne Definitely đđđđ

I'm from Vietnam, nice to meet you. I really like what you're doing
I love mine I have this exact one I donât go to the laundromat anymore. If I need to wash bigger bulkier items like comforters or big blankets I just wash those at my moms. I live in an apartment with two bathrooms and I use one as my laundry room now đ Iâm able to keep up with both my babies clothes my own clothes and my boyfriends clothes also I have a dog so Iâm always washing something
I hope to have two bathrooms one day!! One would definitely be the laundry room as well. Mh hmm. I love the size of it too. I can just come home from work, put a week's worth of clothes in it and be done ASAP! I hated going to the laundromat, especially because I never had cash on me. So I would always have to go out of my way to take some out.
your pet dog is so adorable dear, looks so behave and nice sharing of your new portable washer and how your enjoying laundry. I noticed , you got great voice and beautiful long eyelashesđ
haha he gets away with things because people think he is innocent! (he is not innocent LOL) and thank you!!! :)
AHHH GIRL YOUR DOG!! SO CUTE!! best way to start a vid đ„șnow i loooove the portable washer idea. sucks that some apartments dont come with it, like whyyy đ€
Right!? At this point, every apartment should have this...such a basic thing to have!! :)
Omg your puppy is soooo cute đđ I think this washer/dryer is a life saver tbh
Thank you! And yess it is! Saves me time and money!! đđ
Thanks for sharing this im prob gonna need something like this for my next place, fortunately I only have a few clothes I actually wear so a small load isnât a big deal, but man I hate hang drying
Hang drying isn't that bad! I felt that way at first. But now, I'm like BOOM BOOM finished! haha
We got one a few months ago and just love it the wife hates the laundromat and loves washing at home now.......
Mh hmm! We love it too. Cant believe we waited 2 years to get it! Saves so much time and money đđ
This was fun to watch đ
Great gadget and cute dog
My local laundromat just went up to 4$ to wash a medium load. Definitely going to have to invest in this! Great review
It's worth it. When I moved into this apartment, I used the laundromat for a whole year because I was doubtful about these. I hated having to take cash out, and wait around for my clothes, and being around so many people. So I finally bought it. I can wash from the comfort of my home and as often as I want and it doesnt do anything to my electricity bill. I think it went up like 1 dollar- if that.
I just purchased mine. Currently, Iâm in a wheelchair and can now do my own laundry! Please note, when on drain cycle, the lower the hose, the water will drain properly. So, I had to sit my washer combo on a bench, lower the hose & drain. If you really, really want to save, make your own detergent and itâll cost you pennies to wash your clothes. đ
Loved the video purchasing one for tiny house in GA! The song was the highlight made me smile!
Yayyyy!!! You will love using it. And hahaha omg did you read the description too? I included my song đđđ
I think Iâm getting this washer now. You should do more product reviews!
This portable washer is amazing! There are also so many colors to choose from. Some portable washers are smaller than others, so definitely suits ANY nyc apartment!! :)
Loved it, I have just purchased my own mini washing machine through Amazon. Your video and your beautiful puppyâs help me decide, take care, keep safe , Garry /Australia
yayyy! I am SO excited for you! You will have a blast with your washing machine. haha best of luck! :)
Not awkward at all boo I totally agree
You never hear about this but you can hook inlet hose to spin side and get a spin rinse.
I have seen these portable washers before and they are so cute and convenient
Yup! They are so convenient to have!! I love mine đ„°
czcams.com/video/zplNxl_W7gc/video.html
Mine is on its way ... I ordered it this past Tuesday from Amazon and I should get it Monday..no more laundromat yay
So exciting!!! It definitely takes some time to get used to, but once you have the steps down, it's a breeze! đ„°đ„°đ„°

Thank you!! Thinking about getting one- but renting a room- is it loud?

Great review! Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!!! :)
my very first time seeing how they work. I've seen them around and my sister in law back home have one. so the dryer part is another spin cycle that will ring the clothes for you. I thought it would actually dry the clothes hehehe. anyway nice review my friend. I am using full size washer and dryer but it can be stack-up if we ran out of room which will not happen anytime soon hahaha. I got a huge huge in the country.
Yesss! It's a spin cycle. I was so confused by it at first too! and awww so lucky!! I always imagined what it would be like to live in the country, so spacious and green!! :)

Hey! It is a gravity drain machine right? Did you put an extender on your drain hose, and it still drains into the toilet no problem? You donât have to put it on a higher surface to drain?

Excellent review :) Thanks for this episode. newfriend
Very easy to use, handy & movable. Very nice singing dear.
Haha thank you!:)
Hi Joanna, great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am not sure if you'll see this comment, but I do have a question I want your opinion based on your experience. I am also a New Yorker living in an apartment. I am very interested in purchasing a similar machine. However, before doing so, I am curious if my landlord would allow this machine. Do you have any thoughts or opinions you can share? Did your landlord have any issues with it? Much appreciated!
Hi Patrick! My landlord had no problem with this! I actually found out other units in my building also have portable washers and it was completely fine by him! Something that I don't think I mentioned in the video is that if you, for whatever reason forget that you are filling it up with water, it will never overflow!! Happened to me twice. It automatically slowly pumps it out to wherever you put the hose in. So you never have to worry about any type of flooding in your apartment or your neighbor's downstairs! And sure it makes noise- but I just never use it at like 2am. I always use it anytime between 7am-11pm and I've never had a complaint đ hope that helps! Lmk if you have any more questions!
Hi Joanna! Thank you so much for your quick response! I think this is the first time I've actually received a response to a comment/question that I've left! ^_^ Kudos to you! I really appreciate your sharing of experience as well as the tips & tricks! Sadly, I'm located in New York and landlords are quite strict with many things and laundry machines are a big no-no to them. With that said, I do know a lot of fellow New Yorkers had sneaked these machines in their apartment, but I just don't want to risk it and give them a reason for eviction. Maybe one day I'll be able to get one and try it. Thank you once again and keep up the awesome work with the videos!!
I have one I woud suggest getting a small wooden platform dolly so you can just role it around makes it very easy to move when its full of water the dolly I bought was only 14$
That's a great tip!! Idky I haven't thought of that đ€Šââïž but that would definitely come in handy! Thank you!!
@@JoannaRoxanne it would be nice if they just had wheels to begin with I also used a Velcro tye to make the hose holder bigger
Great sharing!
The best way to drain it, is in your tub đ or kitchen sink, but use a fine mesh strainer that you can buy at any bodega. The fine mesh will catch the mini plastic particles that shouldnât be going down any drain, because theyâll add on to fatbergs in the NYC drainage system, plus do a decent job of keeping those little particles out of the environment.
Hi! I tried doing it in my tub and it was so awkward :( the hose wouldn't stay out no matter what I tried. I haven't tried doing it in the kitchen sink đźđź and oooh! I never knew about the mesh strainer....you mean to try that in the tub right? I feel like there's so many other tips that I still don't know about when it comes to these portable washers! đ€Šââïž
What mini plastic particles?
@@JoannaRoxanne Some of these washers have lint catchers and some don't. I bought a lint catcher from amazon and it it great especially with having pets. It looks like a flower and they are cheap. You just put into washer when doing a load of laundry.
