Have you ever followed the instructions in the manual and did the regular maintenance? If you have or will, I would love to see a video. I purchased this due to your recommendation.
Forgot to add, about the lint, if you place an old sock at the end of the drain tube, fix it with an elastic band, you'll get all the lint off your drainage whole.
How do you wash bigger items like blankets comforters or sheets?💁♀️ sorry that’s probably a stupid question if it doesn’t fit just Goto the laundry mat😂
Another thing to mention is that some people are not blessed with a perfect neighborhood. By buying a portable washer reduces on the risk of something bad happening at the laundromat (I was almost kidnapped at one once). Its also less money as I get free water, trash, and heating.
I have never watched a washing machine video before but I'm at the laundromat now and this popped up in my recommended. Google really does know everything 😱
Did you buy one or is the laundry mat better? I just moved into a really tiny apartment and don't know how I feel about going to the laundry mat every week with an infant
@@SarawrDubya trust me you need a portable washer and dryer. They sell actual portable dryers that heat up and spin but there $280 but these are life changers
I lived in apartment in CA with NO laundry hook ups, with a baby, and coin operated laundry...I ended up find out about the portable washers and it was a game-changer. I also used the drying rack and it was AWESOME. Put the kid down for a nap, do a small load, put them clothes on the drying rack...dry in a few hours. Brilliant. Through the years as a military person, I have lived in various housing that had no hook-ups and that portable washer moved with me like a faithful companion. I, too, found it at a Goodwill close to base. I now live in a house and the kid is grown, but if my washer ever went out and I did not have the funds to fix or replace it, I would grab a portable one of these again in a heartbeat. Thanks for helping spread some good feels to those who may benefit from it. Peace & cheers.
The added benefit of using that drying rack, instead of a dryer, it that hanging clothes out to dry is better for the fabric and elastic and your clothes, blankets, and bed sheets last longer. Not to mention you save on electricity. When I buy a house, I'm puting up a clothes line and only using the dryer for emergencies!
OK, so after two years of research I bought the 17.6 pound one...before the pandemic and paid a little over $100. They are currently running about $300, now.
I bought one of these based on all the reviews on CZcams. I got it from Google Express for about 80 bucks, and that includes shipping. My regular washer died and I couldn't afford to replace it. Apparently, the laundromat washers didn't clean my clothes at all. My little machine gets everything so clean. I will never worry about buying a full sized one again. I have 3 quilts that don't fit, but my blankets and sheets do.
@@ahnyayadens9323 , I got it through the Google express app from a company called Best Products, if I remember right. When you use the app the first time, they gave a code for 20% off your first order. My friends and I, we ALL have these portable machines, they are all about the same. I picked mine after I saw it was 99 with free shipping + the 20% off and checking for review videos. Try Google Express. I have used them several times and they make me happy.
@@christinasalazar6962, my biggest blanket is 99 inches by 60 inches, it fits to wash, but it is too big to spin. Most of my blankets are throws, 50 inches by 60 inches. I live in a warm place with almost no winter. The throws wash and spin 2 at a time. My sheets are queen. My husband, being male, is a big person, over 6 feet tall. I can do maybe 1 pair of his jeans, maybe 2 t shirts and a few socks. I can wash almost triple of my clothes, since they are pretty small. I can easily do 3 or 4 outfits and a few other things. I love my machine.
I had to wash my comforters at the laundry mat... wash & dry almost $10 for 1. Imagine spending that once a week or several times a week? the money and time really adds up.
We also bought ours based on her first video and was sooooo impressed we bought one for our daughter we love it we live in a 3rd floor apt i dont have to carry laundry bags up 3 flights of stairs hooray we've had ours almost a year now
I had the opposite experience once. I put my laundry in the dryer, went upstairs to my apartment, and when I came back, someone had added jackets and blankets in with my laundry to get it dried for free! My laundry didn't dry because of all the extra crap (theirs did because of the material it was made of) and I had to pay TWICE to dry my clothes so they could get theirs done for free! I was NOT happy! That is just as much theft as if they took my laundry! ☹️
@@taylorsmith972 Last night I actually had a neighbor take my clothes out, placed it on top of the machine and put there clothes in my DRYER CYCLE!!!... So I took there clothes and left a note saying "Once you figure out who this is you can get your clothes back!!! Have a nice day!" (We live in a 32 unit building) No one has come to reclaim there clothes yet... Lol. Anyways... I'm buying a small washing machine for my tiny apt and been binged watching CZcams reviews all day looking for the best one to buy 🇨🇦
Pet Baby Crochet I absolutely HATED when people would leave their clothes in the washer or in the dryer and I’d come back downstairs with all my stuff almost every hour hoping they took their stuff so I could use a machine. NOPE. Not even when I check the next morning. So annoying. Then at a family members house they never cleaned their front load washer properly and all my clothes would smell moldy. There was no winning in that situation. Now the apartment I live in the landlord said there’s a hookup but won’t let us buy a washer and dryer because water is expensive (we don’t pay water at this current apartment). I fully convinced my husband to order a portable washer and it’s coming in a few days 🙏🏽 I can’t wait. I’m tired of hand washing clothes
I bought the Della because if you. I used the Della for almost 2 years. My apartment had a washer dryer hookup yet I was a poor full time student. Now that I’ve been making more money, I tried to stay using my Della but then corona virus happened and I was terrified to take my queen size comforter to the laundry Mat, which I had been doing since the Della isn’t large enough. Now that I’m back to the front load washer I do feel the Della was a lot of work. Lol. But defiantly worth the money and beats the laundry mat. However, I haven’t bought a dryer because air drying my clothes has allowed them to last much longer. It’s amazing how damaging the heat from the dryer is, even to quality, expensive clothing.
Just ordered mine last week for $94 (new), suppose to be delivered today, living in a camper, must have some sacrifices. Thank you for great videos. :)
You inspired me to look into getting one of these. I ended up getting a different model but it's one of the best decisions I ever made. Saves me so much trouble, thanks!
Because of your review, I bought this washing machine. Your review was honest. Funny I had come to the same conclussions about 10 days after I purchased mine. I have similar living situation so I understand. This was one of my life changing purchases I made. I found that yes water went up but saved in because I was spending $40 a week in washing and bill only went up by 10 dollars. Best timesaver and money saver. Thank you so much for this recommendation. It has made my life so much better.
I have a Kuppet 26lb capacity. I love it. I'm disabled and live on the 3rd floor. This machine is a tremendous help. Money was tight and I had to do laundry by hand for 3months. So I was definitely ready. Loved your video, here in Jersey apartment dwellers go to the laundry. I'm about to bottle laundry soap I made yesterday.
Reminds me of my youth in the 1970's. My mum would always be stuck over one of those twin tub machines like you have. Awesome that people are still finding a use for 50 year old tech!
Thanks for the 1 year review. Often times someone uses something, shows it but then you never find out how durable it is. An idea (which I do) is have a tension shower curtain rod in the shower above the unit (close to ceiling) to hang your cloths on hangers... I then have a fan in the bathroom that I run and it doesn't take too long for the cloths to dry...
U can find the Japanese products she mentioned in the video at Daiso. It's a Japanese dollar store. ($1.50 actually) They have several stores in Southern CA. Thr's one in Little Tokyo Mall (DTLA), Monterey Park, Torrance, Carson, etc..
I would run the cord up the back and along the ceiling and down to the plug. You can twist some eye hooks into the wall or command hooks and they would hold the cord in place that way it’s out of the way and off of the floor.
Moved from Chicago to Nairobi, Kenya 3 months ago and been doing laundry by hand. I just ordered one of these and should have it in a few days. Super excited about it now after watching this video! Gonna be here another year and a half so really looking forward to not hand washing everything anymore. Thanks for the review!
I'm in same type vintage apartment by the beach. I sacrificed the washer dryer too. My mini washer dryer combo is awesome!! I dont pay water so I beat you on that!! I was tired of laundry trips and wasting a whole day. Now I do same thing, little loads here and there. And clothes DO come out almost completely dry!! Awesome review.
I have the same type of washer, I have a tile shelf on one end of my bathtub that fits the washing machine perfectly. Love it! I also picked up a Panda 110v clothes dryer on Amazon for $250, that dries my clothes in about 30 minutes. I now only go to the laundry mat to wash my comforter. I highly recommend these washers for all apartment dwellers who don't have hookups.
After becoming frustrated with all the hands-on-other-peoples-stuff folks at the laundry mat, I stumbled upon your original vid a few years ago. I never knew anything about portable washers before seeing your vid. I couldn't find the della brand in the states; so, I ended up buying a 2 cu sq ft auto washer that I hook up to my kitchen sink. One of the best decisions I've made!!! It cleans better than those laundry mat washers.
I bought one of these for our RV after watching your first video and I absolutely LOVE it!! We were lugging clothes from our RV to home every weekend and it was a huge pain. This changed everything! As for the lint, Amazon sells lint catchers for these washers for $8.00. I bought a set of three and saw a significant difference in the amount of lint on the clothes. Doesn’t get it all but, it does get the majority. Thanks for the update! ✌🏼
When I was in high school we asked foreign exchange students what surprised them most about their experience in America. They said before they came they thought we were all rich and lived in mansions with swimming pools in our backyard. Then when they got here they realized that we were actually struggling to get by, pay bills, and live from one paycheck to the next. I lived in a rural town of about 2000 people, with cows, chickens and goats. We were about the least fancy people. Some of us didn't even own a car. We certainly didn't all own washer and dryers.
I've had my Della for 10 months now..I love it! I do prefer to hand wash my undergarments in hot water in the sink and then put them in the spin dry, but other than that everything goes in the Della.
I have a Della and love it . I have had it about a year and 4 month and it works great, the only thing is mine is a 11 pound machine if I had it to do over I would get the 13 pound machine . but its all good anyway. very happy . Nice thing is Its small enough that I can take it with me in my motorhome on the road if I am out a long time Best to luck to you. thanks !
She is pretty. Articulate. Brave. Innovative. Seemingly great for off grid living. (I am AA by the way). Intrigued by off grid living ways to help endorse smaller living space even for a 6’5 black male who is falling in love with the eco-system. Great effort by this lady. Good luck!
Only Shallow people put down others over the possessions they own. Life is about discovering one's self and what works for you. That's why I LOVE your video because you took an aprartment that was almost perfect for you then down the road made it perfect when you discovered this wonderful machine! Where I live I could have a big washer and dryer but I like to save water and electricity so we use this washer too.
These people in third world countries think it's funny to ask those questions and Raz you but what they don't understand is what it's like to try and find an apartment affordable and live in LA with washer and dryer hookup let alone the washer and dryer in the apartment. Some people just don't think before they speak LOL God bless you and thank you for uploading these videos because they've helped me. And I can only speak for myself I do not have this portable washer and dryer but I enjoy your videos and I have taken cues from your other videos and applied them to my situation and my house and they are great ideas that really work and you can tweak them a little bit to work for you. That's what I love about your channel. So thank you for what you do.
I’m from a third world country and apartments without hookups are getting more common, they offer laundromats but nobody I know can afford them long term. This things are a god send. Thank you for your content.
You don't have to explain your home life situation to anyone despite what anyone says. Ppl have too much freedom to criticize other ppl's lives autonomously, if you saw over a half of your subscribers home, you'd find a bunch to say. Trust me. Live your life unexplained, queen. You only explain to those you love most & are closest to & YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW. Everyone else? Let them show you how sadly shallow & dumb they are by their idiotic & senseless remarks. Live free. I admire your openness & kindness, nonetheless. I must say
I saw your first one months and months ago. It’s so funny that I’m now considering moving to an apartment with no w/d hookups so I am so glad to see your follow up!! You are so lucky to have found this at a thrift shop!! You shouldn’t have a problem with your electrical plug because the wall socket looks like a ground fault receptacle.
I don't care what negative people say, it is simply THE MOST GENIOUS IDEA EVER for people in apartments that DON'T HAVE W/D installed. So tell em to keep their comments to themselves. Also I wasn't to get a lint catcher. It's great cause we have an ALL UTIL included. Love it.
I live in my RV and discovered this from a friend this last summer and just love it, I also found a cloths dryer that works in my RV its called the Panda and you hang your cloths and then cover with the blue tarp and turn the heat on, It takes longer that the conventional dryer but in 3 to 6 hours gets them nice and dry. you can find it on Amazon as well for a nominal fee.
Glad to see that your washer is holding up so well! Even though, the water bill has increased... you really reap the benefits of savings by not having to go to the laundromat for small loads. Your valuable time is indeed valuable especially in the really cold days or when you have the "don't feel like getting dressed to go to the laundromat" lol. Thanks for the update and best regards.
I've Gotten My Own Della Washing Machine(Since August 2018) Like Yours, After Watching Your Tutorial Of The Machine; Since THEN I Been Laundromat Free, A Lifesaver During The Pandemic Shutdown👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾 My Hiccups, With This Machine It Tangles The Stretching Them Out, It Has Tendency To Spin Slow, Because I Think The Pump Clogged And Overworked, That's Why NOW I'm Ready To Upgrade To The Portable Automatic Washing Machine(Haven't Decided UPON Which Brand I Want, And Sale Price It's Going For; Since The Prices Fluctuate From Week To Week), I'm Glad I Live IN NYC, We Don't Worry About Water Bill, Only Electric &Gas For Cooking, I've Seen An IN THE Electric, And That's Because Sometimes My Son Wants His Clothes Washed, And My Daughter Too 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾But Anyhoo, Other Than That, I Was Wondering Did You Ever Upgrade To An Automatic Washing Machine, OR Are You Thinking About It Soon 🤔🤷🏾♀️👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾✊🏾💪🏾🙏🏾💯👋🏾
I don't get how someone could leave negative comments about a portable washing machine. If you used to use one in your country or you have a full size washer and dryer, kudos to you. Keep it moving and don't leave negative comments for a complete stranger. What is wrong with people?? Anyway, this review was super helpful to me. My building has coin-op laundry but half the machines are broken so I decided to get a portable washer after coming across this review. So far so good, the only thing is that the machine started draining as I was filling up and I still haven't figured out why. But honestly, this already beats shlepping my clothes to the building laundry room. Thank you!
glad the review helped! I will take my humble portable washing machine over the laundromat any day. Not sure about the draining! Maybe open it up and see if you can fix it. Did you get the same model as me? I haven't experienced that problem.
Many years ago I bought a portable washer, I think it was a Sanyo. In was cheap and plastic and I remember thinking if I got a year out of it that would be great. I loved it and used it in my apartment for two years and when I bought a house gave it to my mom. She used it as her only washing machine for the next 22 years. Not only did it last 24 years but during that time it didn’t need a single repair.
been looking for one of theses washers , back in the 70's made this type far better ,,just rolled it up to kitchen sink ..and it would pump water in sink , just way easier
❤ mine!!!!.. had it for over 4 years..I wash queen size bed sheets, jeans..sweaters..the only items I dont is blankets or comforts of course..but, yes my bath towels..I put only 2 at a time and 1 only in spinner...I really love it and take good care of mine..no problems as of yet..March. 2024 😊
A whole year later. Thank you SO much for this review. I live in an apartment with a nice laundry room, however, with the corvid virus, we are anticipating it will be shut down soon. Thank you for your review. I just ordered it immediately. I think you saved my life, certainly my sanity. Love from Montana and be safe.
Hi! I glad that you did another review, because I was the one that send you a message on your first review about this same washing machine and I had mine for other a year and it's still working finr. Thanks for writing me back and enjoy your day.
One thing to be careful when you air dry in your house. Mold. So, get a dehumidifier or even... there are these really cool electric clothes dryers that fold away.
ChakraW ...I dry my laundry by hanging it on my shower rod if it rains and I can’t hang outside ... no mold .. my big washer broke and I am having to improvise doing what I can by hand until I can get one of these or fix the big one .. with limited budget you do what you have to . I have been doing this for a while and have no mold problem at all . Most bathrooms have an exhaust fan so she shouldn’t have to worry about mold . Or she can open her window . Bathrooms are made to handle lots of moisture anyway ..
Your video also helped me decide to purchase a portable washer. I got the Costway one, though, but it seems like these all pretty much work the same. I moved into my first apartment, and this is the first time I have lived without my own washer and dryer. Going to the laundromat was a pain in the butt, and not to mention money. I see this thing is quickly paying for itself. It also made sense for me to purchase it because I don't pay for water at this apartment, so why not?! Thank you so much for this video! I was worried this was going to be some cheap gimmicky thing that didn't work, but after a few uses, I'm really happy! I miss having a dryer, though, but you get over it pretty fast with how convenient this is.
Although we have two fully automatic washing machines in our laundry room, family members are always using it so I put the semiautomatic in my large bathroom and they are very good as first you can control the amount of water used for each wash, they have a gentle and heavy wash cycle and very reliable. I have had mine for several years and service for this machine is always available if needed but it’s been good. I don’t pour water in the spinner but empty wash water and refill to rinse. Two pieces of advice to give, don’t splash water on the knobs, and just switch off from wall when you transfer clothes to Spinner just to be safe really like with any machine- certainly worth buying! I love mine ! Oh , just wanted to add, lint comes mainly from socks and towels- wash socks and towels separately and see the difference!
I'm broke. This helps. 😂 Seriously though, great review. I love that you gave us a 1 year follow up. This looks/sounds like just the product I need! But I hate to buy stuff like this without knowing how well it will work out in the long run. Thank you so much for this! LOVE your videos!
I love your review..my son just told me about these..mine comes oct 13 cant wait..i also no laundry hookups n my apt..the complex laundry expensive plus ive also handwashed the clothes after n very dirty so 30 dollars a month is crazy.so im gonna give this a try.excited.im just wondeting do you need a heated dryer also...i dont want my clothes smelling like mildew .n when do you put n fabric softener..thank you love your videos on this.im just crazy gettin quarters plus havn clothes missing n our laundry room plus people not cleaning n sanitizing during these horrible times in our lives thank you again
I used your video as my recommendation to buy my portable washer. I absolutely loved my washer so thank you for your review. My apartment ended up flooding due to the mainline was blocked and when my apartment flooded, the washer motor was ruined. In my house I now have a washer and dryer but will be purchasing another portable washer for my kids. They loved being able to wash their own clothes.
I bought this same unit after watching your first video. I love it so much. Soooo convenient. You’re right about the lint, that’s my only complaint. I sure wish I had a separate shower to use as a “laundry room”. Lol. Great idea!
Linda Laroche I'm in the same boat. Me and my fiance are in a 1 bedroom apartment. There are washers and dryers outside. But this is more convenient. And works great
I added a second shower rod over the middle of my bathtub to hang wet clothes on. I bought a Sonya compact washer a couple of years ago, and it has worked great for me. The spinner is built in like a normal size washer, so you don’t have to move your clothes from the washer to the spinner. Highly recommended.
I got my Sonya through Amazon in 2017, but now it’s showing as “currently unavailable”. Just Google “compact portable washers”. Amazon has some by Panda. My Sonya is 1.9 cuft. 15 lb capacity. Try and get as close to that size as you can.
I ordered one, I’m just waiting for it to be delivered. I had one years ago. I had the hoover spinmatic. They were built to last, but these machines are perfect.
I am still amazed that people live without washing machines. You can literally install it anywhere. Most who struggle for room here, put theirs in the kitchen. All of the plumbing is already in place.
Just bought a condo without an in unit washer or dryer and am seriously considering a portable washer and "dryer" as a solution. Thank you, this has been very helpful in informing my decision.
I live in a two family apartment and the washer/dryer is in the basement. The neighbors get the house washer/dryer because they lived here first and pay extra for it. So I just bought this. I tried putting it in my bathroom but it’s not big enough and the hose is on the opposite side. I tried to put it in the tub but it couldn’t fit. Then I thought of putting it in the kitchen but I live with many people and someone is always in the kitchen and it’s already packed with a stove, deep freezer and a pretty big fridge. Finally I put it in my room on a night stand my mom got from the crub. I put the hose in one of those large tide containers and add water with a bowl that holds a gallon of water. It usually takes me 4- trips to fill it. After it drains into the bucket (I wrapped a exfoliating cloth on the hose to catch the extra lint) I pick up the bucket and empty it in the kitchen sink ( my room it literally connected to the kitchen, it use to be the dining room but I bought folding doors and turned it into a bedroom). It’s just 5 steps away. When I bought the washer it didn’t even occur to me that I’d be using extra water but now I’m overly aware of it. I don’t pay water but I like being considerate toward my landlord, this is my first week with the machine so I guess we’ll see how that goes. The lint thing is really the only thing that makes mad, I have a cat and a dog so I didn’t realize how much hair and lint the machine at the laundromat was getting rid of. I looked up the product she was talking about for lint but the reviews are mostly negative. They sell it on wish for maybe $2 but Amazon sell it for like $14 bucks and I’m not spending that for a product that probably won’t work. What I plan on doing is buying a reusable lint brush and just brushing my cloths before and after even though it’ll take time
hey girl, can you talk more/maybe do a separate video about those agitation balls in the wash side. I've been watching reviews for these since I have one of the small ones (size of a 5 gal bucket roughly) and I want to upgrade to a twin tub. Thank you for the update video too! :)
I don’t have hookups or anything and I’m so sick of lugging my laundry to my moms or the laundry mat and then back up to the second floor at home , so I’m looking into these !
I love mine also! I could've used your idea in my old apartment was a small Bathroom n tiny! Now I use these soap sheets n softners I set it up in bathtub have a lint trap to drain hose... Love this machine the best idea ever!
I remember seeing this in Philippines always caught my interest and now that I have a apartment without a washing machine this seems like a nice solution. Didn’t know they had this in US too
I got a 9lb kupet for Christmas. I've used it ever since. I love it. I have it set up in bath tub. I spend less at the laundrymat because I'd wash towels and bedding mostly there. For a family of 6 its the best gift i ever received. I wash all types of clothes in my kupet like, shower curtain, house curtains, bath rugs, jeans, kitchen towels, tabel cloth high chair cover, even small stuffed animals for my kids. Yes its a little tidious to manually full, drain, but it beats lugging my laundry and 4 kids back n forth to the laundrymat 3xs week.
As an additional safety feature add a rubber tall matt on a wooden board which are both insulators you can also use electrical; tape to reduce water into the electrical connector and it also stops it parting and dropping to the floor causing further incidents. Great Vid and we use those balls too, great gadget.
This seems perfect. If you wanted you could set it up in the tub and also hang a clothing rod above to dry and then you can use your shower. May save more money on the water bill long term. I would consider one of these if I lived in an apt with no in-unit laundry. Thanks for the update.
I just randomly thought about when my mom talked about these like over ten years ago. Just bought a different brand but I love it! Makes laundry so much easier. Luckily for me the water is well water though.
I love that you did a year later review! I got mine, no looking back! 67 dollars on Amazon. It's already paid for itself. No more sharing machines with strangers, hauling baskets up and down stairs, and the expense! At 3.50 a load it was ridiculous. So so happy. 😆
I can’t believe she said she found this at goodwill!! That’s crazy and it’s still working. The reviews definitely has me unsure. Some says it doesn’t last past a little over two years if your lucky. Complaints about the motor going bad. I need one since I’m nursing an injured foot and would have to hop to my laundry room in my apartments
I’m happy she explained the renting issue with apartments because a lot of people don’t understand that. I have that issue as well. It’s true that some units are different than others it happens all the time! I am considering getting this..very cool.
Just an FYI...you can also purchase a separate spin dryer from amazon. I bought the Nina Soft spin dryer. The main reason why because I own a portable washer without the spin dryer being attached. After watching so many reviews I notice some people complained about the spin dryer not working properly with this washer and others. The Nina Soft gets your clothes super dry. At one point and time I was hand wringing my clothes which is a pain to do. There are tons of reviews on the Nina Soft spin dryer. It was about $130 when I purchased it. So if your spinner goes out or you need to spin dry heavier items this spin dryer is amazing. I haven't used my washer in over a while but its a great option when I need to wash. Its cheaper and I love doing laundry at home.
MY SECOND SHOWER/TUB IS WHERE MINE IS TOO,&GOT A SECOND HANDHELD SHOWER HEAD TO FILL MINE TOO....I LOVE MY LIL WASHER,TOO,IT IS A MONEY SAVING BLESSING TO ME,BEING ELDERLY&ALONE.....
I have the same situation where my apt has machines but the dryers dont work very well and its a big hike for me. I wanted and in home solution! what i did is switched to castile soap so i can manage it with my bare hands. I wash in one side of my kitchen sink, rinse in the other, and use a salad spinner to pull most of the water out then blot the items on a dry towel and hang with a fan blowing. As you mention in the video its a pain compared to traditional washer and tumble dryer and its limited in what it can do...but it really is easier than lugging laundry out of your home. My method is kinda pieced together but stores easily, was cheap, and the only electric item is the fan which is kept well away from water. I still take sheets and towels, jeans and hoodies to wash but most of my clothes are lightweight knits, that is tee-shirt material, and i can wash them in the apartment which cuts my hike by over half. I havent tried sheets because i dont think i can get a sheet in a salad spinner. But if you have a bedwetter in a twin size this might be worth a try.
I have one even though we have coin laundry in my building. I really enjoy being able to wash my stuff separately from everybody else’s. I hate when my clothing smells like other people stuff. I do find it to be a bit tedious but still worth it. I’m sure it has paid for its self by now. I’ve had it almost a year. Doing smaller loads keeps everything cleaner too. When using the big coin washer it’s tempting to put everything together since it costs.
My set up is the same. Some units have washer and dryers, but I live in a really nice studio. This is my next bigger purchase. I need this. Thanks for your review. It helps to know exactly what I will have to do.

Ur so beautiful!!
Have you ever followed the instructions in the manual and did the regular maintenance? If you have or will, I would love to see a video. I purchased this due to your recommendation.
If you unscrew the head of the shower you'll put water faster in the washing machine. Great laundry, by the way.
Forgot to add, about the lint, if you place an old sock at the end of the drain tube, fix it with an elastic band, you'll get all the lint off your drainage whole.
How do you wash bigger items like blankets comforters or sheets?💁♀️ sorry that’s probably a stupid question if it doesn’t fit just Goto the laundry mat😂
Another thing to mention is that some people are not blessed with a perfect neighborhood. By buying a portable washer reduces on the risk of something bad happening at the laundromat (I was almost kidnapped at one once). Its also less money as I get free water, trash, and heating.
I like it because it makes me more self dependent, I have my own machine and I use it when I want to. Ya know?
Love mine!!
Who’s the girl in ur profile pic? Is she a insta model? She’s v cute.
You almost got kidnapped? Sheesh, poor soul.
I almost got arrested
I have never watched a washing machine video before but I'm at the laundromat now and this popped up in my recommended. Google really does know everything 😱
thanks for watching...scary tho..
😂😂😂 that's creepy!! Lol
Did you buy one or is the laundry mat better? I just moved into a really tiny apartment and don't know how I feel about going to the laundry mat every week with an infant
ASMRpsy I have an almost two year old. We are in an apartment with her dad... I am highly considering this... coin laundry starts to suck fast
@@SarawrDubya trust me you need a portable washer and dryer. They sell actual portable dryers that heat up and spin but there $280 but these are life changers
I love this lady, she is finding solutions that work for her and sharing those solutions, love it.
I lived in apartment in CA with NO laundry hook ups, with a baby, and coin operated laundry...I ended up find out about the portable washers and it was a game-changer. I also used the drying rack and it was AWESOME. Put the kid down for a nap, do a small load, put them clothes on the drying rack...dry in a few hours. Brilliant. Through the years as a military person, I have lived in various housing that had no hook-ups and that portable washer moved with me like a faithful companion. I, too, found it at a Goodwill close to base. I now live in a house and the kid is grown, but if my washer ever went out and I did not have the funds to fix or replace it, I would grab a portable one of these again in a heartbeat. Thanks for helping spread some good feels to those who may benefit from it. Peace & cheers.
The added benefit of using that drying rack, instead of a dryer, it that hanging clothes out to dry is better for the fabric and elastic and your clothes, blankets, and bed sheets last longer. Not to mention you save on electricity. When I buy a house, I'm puting up a clothes line and only using the dryer for emergencies!
OK, so after two years of research I bought the 17.6 pound one...before the pandemic and paid a little over $100. They are currently running about $300, now.
$100 to $300? Wtffff scammers
geez! the price gouging is real! wish I knew about this earlier
I bought one of these based on all the reviews on CZcams. I got it from Google Express for about 80 bucks, and that includes shipping. My regular washer died and I couldn't afford to replace it. Apparently, the laundromat washers didn't clean my clothes at all. My little machine gets everything so clean. I will never worry about buying a full sized one again. I have 3 quilts that don't fit, but my blankets and sheets do.
Hekate Jane how big are your blankets?
Do you have the link from where you got it from?
@@ahnyayadens9323 , I got it through the Google express app from a company called Best Products, if I remember right. When you use the app the first time, they gave a code for 20% off your first order.
My friends and I, we ALL have these portable machines, they are all about the same. I picked mine after I saw it was 99 with free shipping + the 20% off and checking for review videos.
Try Google Express. I have used them several times and they make me happy.
@@christinasalazar6962, my biggest blanket is 99 inches by 60 inches, it fits to wash, but it is too big to spin. Most of my blankets are throws, 50 inches by 60 inches. I live in a warm place with almost no winter. The throws wash and spin 2 at a time.
My sheets are queen.
My husband, being male, is a big person, over 6 feet tall. I can do maybe 1 pair of his jeans, maybe 2 t shirts and a few socks. I can wash almost triple of my clothes, since they are pretty small. I can easily do 3 or 4 outfits and a few other things.
I love my machine.
I had to wash my comforters at the laundry mat... wash & dry almost $10 for 1. Imagine spending that once a week or several times a week? the money and time really adds up.
I love mine!! I purchased mine based on part 1! It’s been great for apartment living!
We also bought ours based on her first video and was sooooo impressed we bought one for our daughter we love it we live in a 3rd floor apt i dont have to carry laundry bags up 3 flights of stairs hooray we've had ours almost a year now
Do you have the link for this on amazon?
how much does the water bill go up?
Is it still working and how dry does it get the stuff?
That Japanese lint bag is the bomb. I’ve been doing my laundry in a twin tub for years and the foam/lint bag is a game changer
My neighbors will help people's laundry disappear that is why I hate using the complex's machines.
I had the opposite experience once. I put my laundry in the dryer, went upstairs to my apartment, and when I came back, someone had added jackets and blankets in with my laundry to get it dried for free! My laundry didn't dry because of all the extra crap (theirs did because of the material it was made of) and I had to pay TWICE to dry my clothes so they could get theirs done for free! I was NOT happy! That is just as much theft as if they took my laundry! ☹️
Katie Rosa I’m super petty so I would have just taken their clothes 😂🤷🏻♀️
@@taylorsmith972 I ... May or may not have done that ... 🙃
@@taylorsmith972 Last night I actually had a neighbor take my clothes out, placed it on top of the machine and put there clothes in my DRYER CYCLE!!!... So I took there clothes and left a note saying "Once you figure out who this is you can get your clothes back!!! Have a nice day!" (We live in a 32 unit building) No one has come to reclaim there clothes yet... Lol. Anyways... I'm buying a small washing machine for my tiny apt and been binged watching CZcams reviews all day looking for the best one to buy 🇨🇦
Pet Baby Crochet I absolutely HATED when people would leave their clothes in the washer or in the dryer and I’d come back downstairs with all my stuff almost every hour hoping they took their stuff so I could use a machine. NOPE. Not even when I check the next morning. So annoying. Then at a family members house they never cleaned their front load washer properly and all my clothes would smell moldy. There was no winning in that situation. Now the apartment I live in the landlord said there’s a hookup but won’t let us buy a washer and dryer because water is expensive (we don’t pay water at this current apartment). I fully convinced my husband to order a portable washer and it’s coming in a few days 🙏🏽 I can’t wait. I’m tired of hand washing clothes
I would definitely use this washer rather than go to the laundromat. It would be worth it to me too!!
Your hair looks great!
I bought the Della because if you. I used the Della for almost 2 years. My apartment had a washer dryer hookup yet I was a poor full time student. Now that I’ve been making more money, I tried to stay using my Della but then corona virus happened and I was terrified to take my queen size comforter to the laundry Mat, which I had been doing since the Della isn’t large enough. Now that I’m back to the front load washer I do feel the Della was a lot of work. Lol. But defiantly worth the money and beats the laundry mat. However, I haven’t bought a dryer because air drying my clothes has allowed them to last much longer. It’s amazing how damaging the heat from the dryer is, even to quality, expensive clothing.
You are so likeable. I have been going through hell lately, and seeing your bright and cheery face makes me a happy girl. Ty for sharing sweetheart.⚘
tranquility thank you friend!
@@baiyinadotcom yw😊
I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I think it's the best thing to come down the pike since sliced bread! It works better than a full-sized one.
Just ordered mine last week for $94 (new), suppose to be delivered today, living in a camper, must have some sacrifices. Thank you for great videos. :)
My wife and I live full time in a travel trailer, we have purchased one of the Della washer/spin dryer and it has changed our life. We love ours
Now YOU need to follow up.. one month later.. are you still loving it?
my mum had a machine like that in the 1970s it was so good you can move them around were you want to just as good as the machine today x
You inspired me to look into getting one of these. I ended up getting a different model but it's one of the best decisions I ever made. Saves me so much trouble, thanks!
Because of your review, I bought this washing machine. Your review was honest. Funny I had come to the same conclussions about 10 days after I purchased mine. I have similar living situation so I understand. This was one of my life changing purchases I made. I found that yes water went up but saved in because I was spending $40 a week in washing and bill only went up by 10 dollars. Best timesaver and money saver. Thank you so much for this recommendation. It has made my life so much better.
I have a Kuppet 26lb capacity. I love it. I'm disabled and live on the 3rd floor. This machine is a tremendous help. Money was tight and I had to do laundry by hand for 3months. So I was definitely ready. Loved your video, here in Jersey apartment dwellers go to the laundry. I'm about to bottle laundry soap I made yesterday.
Reminds me of my youth in the 1970's. My mum would always be stuck over one of those twin tub machines like you have. Awesome that people are still finding a use for 50 year old tech!
Thanks for the 1 year review. Often times someone uses something, shows it but then you never find out how durable it is. An idea (which I do) is have a tension shower curtain rod in the shower above the unit (close to ceiling) to hang your cloths on hangers... I then have a fan in the bathroom that I run and it doesn't take too long for the cloths to dry...
That is exactly what I do. Now I just need 2 buy a portable washer and I am set.
It doesn’t matter what ppl think. It’s such a convince for you and no one but you are wash your clothes. Thanks for sharing
I bought my Della from Amazon based on your initial review and She is still working out fabulously!! Thanks for the update!
Brilliant and yes it beats the laundromat!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cheaper
U can find the Japanese products she mentioned in the video at Daiso. It's a Japanese dollar store. ($1.50 actually) They have several stores in Southern CA. Thr's one in Little Tokyo Mall (DTLA), Monterey Park, Torrance, Carson, etc..
I love Daiso! We have them in Australia too. I've bought all sorts of little useful things there. And storage boxes and shelves are so much cheaper!
I would run the cord up the back and along the ceiling and down to the plug. You can twist some eye hooks into the wall or command hooks and they would hold the cord in place that way it’s out of the way and off of the floor.
Moved from Chicago to Nairobi, Kenya 3 months ago and been doing laundry by hand. I just ordered one of these and should have it in a few days. Super excited about it now after watching this video! Gonna be here another year and a half so really looking forward to not hand washing everything anymore. Thanks for the review!
I have had mine for over a year. And still loving it
I'm in same type vintage apartment by the beach. I sacrificed the washer dryer too. My mini washer dryer combo is awesome!! I dont pay water so I beat you on that!! I was tired of laundry trips and wasting a whole day. Now I do same thing, little loads here and there. And clothes DO come out almost completely dry!! Awesome review.
I used one and liked it. I moved and gave it to a friend who lives upstairs in senior housing.
Fuck
You have cultivated the most helpful, cheerful comments section I have ever seen!! Thank you for sharing your review!
Need that, only 8 washers in this complex. Vintage bathroom is beautiful. You should do something tour of your Apt.
I just bought one. Another brand but same exact concept. It washes fantastic. I really like that you came back a year later. Thank you
I have the same type of washer, I have a tile shelf on one end of my bathtub that fits the washing machine perfectly. Love it! I also picked up a Panda 110v clothes dryer on Amazon for $250, that dries my clothes in about 30 minutes. I now only go to the laundry mat to wash my comforter. I highly recommend these washers for all apartment dwellers who don't have hookups.
After becoming frustrated with all the hands-on-other-peoples-stuff folks at the laundry mat, I stumbled upon your original vid a few years ago. I never knew anything about portable washers before seeing your vid. I couldn't find the della brand in the states; so, I ended up buying a 2 cu sq ft auto washer that I hook up to my kitchen sink. One of the best decisions I've made!!! It cleans better than those laundry mat washers.
I bought one of these for our RV after watching your first video and I absolutely LOVE it!! We were lugging clothes from our RV to home every weekend and it was a huge pain. This changed everything! As for the lint, Amazon sells lint catchers for these washers for $8.00. I bought a set of three and saw a significant difference in the amount of lint on the clothes. Doesn’t get it all but, it does get the majority. Thanks for the update! ✌🏼
People always think America is so sweet 😂😂 they just don’t know.
When I was in high school we asked foreign exchange students what surprised them most about their experience in America. They said before they came they thought we were all rich and lived in mansions with swimming pools in our backyard. Then when they got here they realized that we were actually struggling to get by, pay bills, and live from one paycheck to the next. I lived in a rural town of about 2000 people, with cows, chickens and goats. We were about the least fancy people. Some of us didn't even own a car. We certainly didn't all own washer and dryers.
Yesss, I wish I found out about this washer before me and my neighbor moved, I'd LOVE to tell her about this! She would be so ecstatic!

Well consider that some countries your electricity gets cut off at a certain time and not turned back on until a certain time
I've had my Della for 10 months now..I love it! I do prefer to hand wash my undergarments in hot water in the sink and then put them in the spin dry, but other than that everything goes in the Della.
I have a Della and love it . I have had it about a year and 4 month and it works great, the only thing is mine is a 11 pound machine if I had it to do over I would get the 13 pound machine . but its all good anyway. very happy . Nice thing is Its small enough that I can take it with me in my motorhome on the road if I am out a long time Best to luck to you. thanks !
She is pretty. Articulate. Brave. Innovative. Seemingly great for off grid living. (I am AA by the way). Intrigued by off grid living ways to help endorse smaller living space even for a 6’5 black male who is falling in love with the eco-system. Great effort by this lady. Good luck!
Only Shallow people put down others over the possessions they own. Life is about discovering one's self and what works for you. That's why I LOVE your video because you took an aprartment that was almost perfect for you then down the road made it perfect when you discovered this wonderful machine! Where I live I could have a big washer and dryer but I like to save water and electricity so we use this washer too.
These people in third world countries think it's funny to ask those questions and Raz you but what they don't understand is what it's like to try and find an apartment affordable and live in LA with washer and dryer hookup let alone the washer and dryer in the apartment. Some people just don't think before they speak LOL God bless you and thank you for uploading these videos because they've helped me. And I can only speak for myself I do not have this portable washer and dryer but I enjoy your videos and I have taken cues from your other videos and applied them to my situation and my house and they are great ideas that really work and you can tweak them a little bit to work for you. That's what I love about your channel. So thank you for what you do.
I’m from a third world country and apartments without hookups are getting more common, they offer laundromats but nobody I know can afford them long term. This things are a god send. Thank you for your content.
You don't have to explain your home life situation to anyone despite what anyone says. Ppl have too much freedom to criticize other ppl's lives autonomously, if you saw over a half of your subscribers home, you'd find a bunch to say. Trust me. Live your life unexplained, queen. You only explain to those you love most & are closest to & YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW. Everyone else? Let them show you how sadly shallow & dumb they are by their idiotic & senseless remarks. Live free. I admire your openness & kindness, nonetheless. I must say
I saw your first one months and months ago. It’s so funny that I’m now considering moving to an apartment with no w/d hookups so I am so glad to see your follow up!!
You are so lucky to have found this at a thrift shop!! You shouldn’t have a problem with your electrical plug because the wall socket looks like a ground fault receptacle.
I don't care what negative people say, it is simply THE MOST GENIOUS IDEA EVER for people in apartments that DON'T HAVE W/D installed. So tell em to keep their comments to themselves. Also I wasn't to get a lint catcher. It's great cause we have an ALL UTIL included. Love it.
I live in my RV and discovered this from a friend this last summer and just love it, I also found a cloths dryer that works in my RV its called the Panda and you hang your cloths and then cover with the blue tarp and turn the heat on, It takes longer that the conventional dryer but in 3 to 6 hours gets them nice and dry. you can find it on Amazon as well for a nominal fee.
Glad to see that your washer is holding up so well! Even though, the water bill has increased... you really reap the benefits of savings by not having to go to the laundromat for small loads. Your valuable time is indeed valuable especially in the really cold days or when you have the "don't feel like getting dressed to go to the laundromat" lol. Thanks for the update and best regards.
I'm doing a wash now and it's 11pm!
We've had one for over a year. We have saved a lot of money and we wash like 85% of our clothes in that portable washer. It does the job.
I've Gotten My Own Della Washing Machine(Since August 2018) Like Yours, After Watching Your Tutorial Of The Machine; Since THEN I Been Laundromat Free, A Lifesaver During The Pandemic Shutdown👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾 My Hiccups, With This Machine It Tangles The Stretching Them Out, It Has Tendency To Spin Slow, Because I Think The Pump Clogged And Overworked, That's Why NOW I'm Ready To Upgrade To The Portable Automatic Washing Machine(Haven't Decided UPON Which Brand I Want, And Sale Price It's Going For; Since The Prices Fluctuate From Week To Week), I'm Glad I Live IN NYC, We Don't Worry About Water Bill, Only Electric &Gas For Cooking, I've Seen An IN THE Electric, And That's Because Sometimes My Son Wants His Clothes Washed, And My Daughter Too 👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾But Anyhoo, Other Than That, I Was Wondering Did You Ever Upgrade To An Automatic Washing Machine, OR Are You Thinking About It Soon 🤔🤷🏾♀️👍🏾👌🏾✌🏾🤞🏾👏🏾✊🏾💪🏾🙏🏾💯👋🏾
I don't get how someone could leave negative comments about a portable washing machine. If you used to use one in your country or you have a full size washer and dryer, kudos to you. Keep it moving and don't leave negative comments for a complete stranger. What is wrong with people?? Anyway, this review was super helpful to me. My building has coin-op laundry but half the machines are broken so I decided to get a portable washer after coming across this review. So far so good, the only thing is that the machine started draining as I was filling up and I still haven't figured out why. But honestly, this already beats shlepping my clothes to the building laundry room. Thank you!
glad the review helped! I will take my humble portable washing machine over the laundromat any day. Not sure about the draining! Maybe open it up and see if you can fix it. Did you get the same model as me? I haven't experienced that problem.
Many years ago I bought a portable washer, I think it was a Sanyo. In was cheap and plastic and I remember thinking if I got a year out of it that would be great. I loved it and used it in my apartment for two years and when I bought a house gave it to my mom. She used it as her only washing machine for the next 22 years. Not only did it last 24 years but during that time it didn’t need a single repair.
been looking for one of theses washers , back in the 70's made this type far better ,,just rolled it up to kitchen sink ..and it would pump water in sink , just way easier
❤ mine!!!!.. had it for over 4 years..I wash queen size bed sheets, jeans..sweaters..the only items I dont is blankets or comforts of course..but, yes my bath towels..I put only 2 at a time and 1 only in spinner...I really love it and take good care of mine..no problems as of yet..March. 2024 😊
A whole year later. Thank you SO much for this review. I live in an apartment with a nice laundry room, however, with the corvid virus, we are anticipating it will be shut down soon. Thank you for your review. I just ordered it immediately. I think you saved my life, certainly my sanity. Love from Montana and be safe.
Hi! I glad that you did another review, because I was the one that send you a message on your first review about this same washing machine and I had mine for other a year and it's still working finr. Thanks for writing me back and enjoy your day.
One thing to be careful when you air dry in your house. Mold. So, get a dehumidifier or even... there are these really cool electric clothes dryers that fold away.
ChakraW ...I dry my laundry by hanging it on my shower rod if it rains and I can’t hang outside ... no mold .. my big washer broke and I am having to improvise doing what I can by hand until I can get one of these or fix the big one .. with limited budget you do what you have to . I have been doing this for a while and have no mold problem at all . Most bathrooms have an exhaust fan so she shouldn’t have to worry about mold . Or she can open her window . Bathrooms are made to handle lots of moisture anyway ..
@@suelovescats believe me. I know about budgets. That's why that dryer I saw was $64.
With the clothes coming out about 80%+ dry, mold won't be a problem because there's no drip. But a fan in front of that will speed that right up
This really spins clothes well dry, but dehumidifiers are great
Your video also helped me decide to purchase a portable washer. I got the Costway one, though, but it seems like these all pretty much work the same. I moved into my first apartment, and this is the first time I have lived without my own washer and dryer. Going to the laundromat was a pain in the butt, and not to mention money. I see this thing is quickly paying for itself. It also made sense for me to purchase it because I don't pay for water at this apartment, so why not?!
Thank you so much for this video! I was worried this was going to be some cheap gimmicky thing that didn't work, but after a few uses, I'm really happy! I miss having a dryer, though, but you get over it pretty fast with how convenient this is.
I love my little washer I also got a small dryer and it works perfectly! So much better than going to the laundromat 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You got a small Dryer? Where? I've been looking for one!
@@yavannajune amazon has the dryers too..they had decent reviews..I’m considering getting one too
Although we have two fully automatic washing machines in our laundry room, family members are always using it so I put the semiautomatic in my large bathroom and they are very good as first you can control the amount of water used for each wash, they have a gentle and heavy wash cycle and very reliable. I have had mine for several years and service for this machine is always available if needed but it’s been good.
I don’t pour water in the spinner but empty wash water and refill to rinse. Two pieces of advice to give, don’t splash water on the knobs, and just switch off from wall when you transfer clothes to Spinner just to be safe really like with any machine- certainly worth buying! I love mine !
Oh , just wanted to add, lint comes mainly from socks and towels- wash socks and towels separately and see the difference!
I'm broke. This helps. 😂
Seriously though, great review. I love that you gave us a 1 year follow up. This looks/sounds like just the product I need! But I hate to buy stuff like this without knowing how well it will work out in the long run. Thank you so much for this! LOVE your videos!
honestly it's one of the things I love the most lol. still going strong!!!
I love your review..my son just told me about these..mine comes oct 13 cant wait..i also no laundry hookups n my apt..the complex laundry expensive plus ive also handwashed the clothes after n very dirty so 30 dollars a month is crazy.so im gonna give this a try.excited.im just wondeting do you need a heated dryer also...i dont want my clothes smelling like mildew .n when do you put n fabric softener..thank you love your videos on this.im just crazy gettin quarters plus havn clothes missing n our laundry room plus people not cleaning n sanitizing during these horrible times in our lives thank you again
I used your video as my recommendation to buy my portable washer. I absolutely loved my washer so thank you for your review. My apartment ended up flooding due to the mainline was blocked and when my apartment flooded, the washer motor was ruined. In my house I now have a washer and dryer but will be purchasing another portable washer for my kids. They loved being able to wash their own clothes.
I bought this same unit after watching your first video. I love it so much. Soooo convenient. You’re right about the lint, that’s my only complaint. I sure wish I had a separate shower to use as a “laundry room”. Lol. Great idea!
Do you still have it? Do you still like it ?
This would be perfect for me, i live on my own and i live in a small one bedroom appartement and no one has a washer/dryer in their appartement....
Linda Laroche I'm in the same boat. Me and my fiance are in a 1 bedroom apartment. There are washers and dryers outside. But this is more convenient. And works great
Linda Laroche be careful, some landlords dont allow. ...so hide it lol
Would love links to all he Japanese laundry things you mentioned...balls, lint bag, etc. Thanks!!
I added a second shower rod over the middle of my bathtub to hang wet clothes on. I bought a Sonya compact washer a couple of years ago, and it has worked great for me. The spinner is built in like a normal size washer, so you don’t have to move your clothes from the washer to the spinner. Highly recommended.
Could you share the link if you have one?
I got my Sonya through Amazon in 2017, but now it’s showing as “currently unavailable”. Just Google “compact portable washers”. Amazon has some by Panda. My Sonya is 1.9 cuft. 15 lb capacity. Try and get as close to that size as you can.
I never new thar these washers existed until 6 weeks ago. I just 💘 it. I used to wash by hand and I live in a old house with no hook up.
I'm in LA too and sis i feeel your pain when it comes to tge landromat and no washer/dryer hook up. Thank you for this video!
I ordered one, I’m just waiting for it to be delivered. I had one years ago. I had the hoover spinmatic. They were built to last, but these machines are perfect.
I am still amazed that people live without washing machines. You can literally install it anywhere. Most who struggle for room here, put theirs in the kitchen. All of the plumbing is already in place.
Just bought a condo without an in unit washer or dryer and am seriously considering a portable washer and "dryer" as a solution. Thank you, this has been very helpful in informing my decision.
@St justin Martyr If by crappy you mean built at a time where that wasn't standard, then yes? Common laundry is pretty normal for condos
I have both a regular washer and dryer plus the washer that you have I love it. Now I'm going to get the portable dryer as well, they are so cute.
I live in a two family apartment and the washer/dryer is in the basement. The neighbors get the house washer/dryer because they lived here first and pay extra for it. So I just bought this. I tried putting it in my bathroom but it’s not big enough and the hose is on the opposite side. I tried to put it in the tub but it couldn’t fit. Then I thought of putting it in the kitchen but I live with many people and someone is always in the kitchen and it’s already packed with a stove, deep freezer and a pretty big fridge. Finally I put it in my room on a night stand my mom got from the crub. I put the hose in one of those large tide containers and add water with a bowl that holds a gallon of water. It usually takes me 4- trips to fill it. After it drains into the bucket (I wrapped a exfoliating cloth on the hose to catch the extra lint) I pick up the bucket and empty it in the kitchen sink ( my room it literally connected to the kitchen, it use to be the dining room but I bought folding doors and turned it into a bedroom). It’s just 5 steps away. When I bought the washer it didn’t even occur to me that I’d be using extra water but now I’m overly aware of it. I don’t pay water but I like being considerate toward my landlord, this is my first week with the machine so I guess we’ll see how that goes. The lint thing is really the only thing that makes mad, I have a cat and a dog so I didn’t realize how much hair and lint the machine at the laundromat was getting rid of. I looked up the product she was talking about for lint but the reviews are mostly negative. They sell it on wish for maybe $2 but Amazon sell it for like $14 bucks and I’m not spending that for a product that probably won’t work. What I plan on doing is buying a reusable lint brush and just brushing my cloths before and after even though it’ll take time
hey girl, can you talk more/maybe do a separate video about those agitation balls in the wash side. I've been watching reviews for these since I have one of the small ones (size of a 5 gal bucket roughly) and I want to upgrade to a twin tub. Thank you for the update video too! :)
I don’t have hookups or anything and I’m so sick of lugging my laundry to my moms or the laundry mat and then back up to the second floor at home , so I’m looking into these !
This would be perfect for my off the grid three house.
I just purchased this product after watching both your reviews thank you for the review. Best Buy I ever bought from amazon.
I bought one and it’s the magic chef and I love it! Your system is excellent!
I love mine also! I could've used your idea in my old apartment was a small
Bathroom n tiny! Now I use these soap sheets n softners
I set it up in bathtub have a lint trap to drain hose...
Love this machine the best idea ever!
I remember seeing this in Philippines always caught my interest and now that I have a apartment without a washing machine this seems like a nice solution. Didn’t know they had this in US too
I got a 9lb kupet for Christmas. I've used it ever since. I love it. I have it set up in bath tub. I spend less at the laundrymat because I'd wash towels and bedding mostly there. For a family of 6 its the best gift i ever received. I wash all types of clothes in my kupet like, shower curtain, house curtains, bath rugs, jeans, kitchen towels, tabel cloth high chair cover, even small stuffed animals for my kids. Yes its a little tidious to manually full, drain, but it beats lugging my laundry and 4 kids back n forth to the laundrymat 3xs week.
As an additional safety feature add a rubber tall matt on a wooden board which are both insulators you can also use electrical; tape to reduce water into the electrical connector and it also stops it parting and dropping to the floor causing further incidents. Great Vid and we use those balls too, great gadget.
This seems perfect. If you wanted you could set it up in the tub and also hang a clothing rod above to dry and then you can use your shower. May save more money on the water bill long term. I would consider one of these if I lived in an apt with no in-unit laundry. Thanks for the update.
I just randomly thought about when my mom talked about these like over ten years ago. Just bought a different brand but I love it! Makes laundry so much easier. Luckily for me the water is well water though.
Its awesome... You are so Right ..is good to have a portable washer machine ..I love it
Your solution to put the washer in shower is a genius!
Off-topic ;-) You look great. I love your new hair cut (and your lashes). It makes you look much younger.
Tony Kitten hey thanks so much! I’ll take it!!
Yes I love this
I love that you did a year later review! I got mine, no looking back! 67 dollars on Amazon. It's already paid for itself. No more sharing machines with strangers, hauling baskets up and down stairs, and the expense! At 3.50 a load it was ridiculous. So so happy. 😆
I can’t believe she said she found this at goodwill!! That’s crazy and it’s still working. The reviews definitely has me unsure. Some says it doesn’t last past a little over two years if your lucky. Complaints about the motor going bad. I need one since I’m nursing an injured foot and would have to hop to my laundry room in my apartments
I’m happy she explained the renting issue with apartments because a lot of people don’t understand that. I have that issue as well. It’s true that some units are different than others it happens all the time! I am considering getting this..very cool.
Just an FYI...you can also purchase a separate spin dryer from amazon. I bought the Nina Soft spin dryer. The main reason why because I own a portable washer without the spin dryer being attached. After watching so many reviews I notice some people complained about the spin dryer not working properly with this washer and others. The Nina Soft gets your clothes super dry. At one point and time I was hand wringing my clothes which is a pain to do. There are tons of reviews on the Nina Soft spin dryer. It was about $130 when I purchased it. So if your spinner goes out or you need to spin dry heavier items this spin dryer is amazing. I haven't used my washer in over a while but its a great option when I need to wash. Its cheaper and I love doing laundry at home.
Thank you for the demonstration!!!
I got one,I had mine since this past October & it works just fine for me & my kids & my Apartment don’t have washer & dryer hookup either
suction cups with hooks would hold the cable out of the way
What about those command hooks?
Cable to long and heavy I tried that one
MY SECOND SHOWER/TUB IS WHERE MINE IS TOO,&GOT A SECOND HANDHELD SHOWER HEAD TO FILL MINE TOO....I LOVE MY LIL WASHER,TOO,IT IS A MONEY SAVING BLESSING TO ME,BEING ELDERLY&ALONE.....
Love the portrait on the wall. Reminds me of the artist Egon Schiele.
You might want to get a bathrug to go under drying rack to protect the floor. I love your comments, and do what is right for you.
Hi Loraine
No need for mat as the spinner makes the clothes almost dry. Absolutely no dripping.
I have the same situation where my apt has machines but the dryers dont work very well and its a big hike for me. I wanted and in home solution! what i did is switched to castile soap so i can manage it with my bare hands. I wash in one side of my kitchen sink, rinse in the other, and use a salad spinner to pull most of the water out then blot the items on a dry towel and hang with a fan blowing. As you mention in the video its a pain compared to traditional washer and tumble dryer and its limited in what it can do...but it really is easier than lugging laundry out of your home. My method is kinda pieced together but stores easily, was cheap, and the only electric item is the fan which is kept well away from water. I still take sheets and towels, jeans and hoodies to wash but most of my clothes are lightweight knits, that is tee-shirt material, and i can wash them in the apartment which cuts my hike by over half. I havent tried sheets because i dont think i can get a sheet in a salad spinner. But if you have a bedwetter in a twin size this might be worth a try.
I have one even though we have coin laundry in my building. I really enjoy being able to wash my stuff separately from everybody else’s. I hate when my clothing smells like other people stuff. I do find it to be a bit tedious but still worth it. I’m sure it has paid for its self by now. I’ve had it almost a year. Doing smaller loads keeps everything cleaner too. When using the big coin washer it’s tempting to put everything together since it costs.
My set up is the same. Some units have washer and dryers, but I live in a really nice studio. This is my next bigger purchase. I need this. Thanks for your review. It helps to know exactly what I will have to do.
