## Description

Review: Good Yet Might Not Be For You - I love these washers! But the Durability is just not there for long turn uses I've had two of these over the years and they have worked great in a pinch. they wash better than most full-size washers I've seen/used. the design isn't bad, but the plastic is a little on the cheaper side. Where this product fails is in the washer motor the agitation is fine and the sin rate is okay but if you put any heavy clothes in it can't handle the load over time. when I had one at my apartment, we just use it for if we needed something washed fast for next day wear. But I got a new one when I got my camper and i was washing more. it worked well for about a year washing every other day and then the motor went out. The price point is good and if not seeing a lot of uses it'll last my first one lasted two years.
Review: Quality, drainage, agitation, spinning, all seem good so far - Day One! (August 2025) Packaged well, although a few tears in outside carton (took pictures). I spent many hours (days) looking at every "manual" "portable" small washing machine (desertcart, Home Depot, Walmart, etc). Read all the one/two star bad reviews. Discounted those low-star reviews if it pertained to damaged packaging, bad delivery, leaky/broken hoses, or hoses that don't fit U.S. plumbing, etc. Not anything I care about. Just functionality. This machine on day one with a smallish test load (2 pair of men's 2XL sweatpants and one t-shirt) outside on slightly 2-degree concrete slope (think driveway that dips out to street), REALLY washed the clothes. Could have put more in, had to test the amount of clothes and water needed. Several observations: (1) one Tide pod is WAY too much soap, (2) water does splash a lot, because of slight downhill slope to concrete, the washer "wiggled", so didn't level it properly, (3) doesn't remove some cat hair (have 2 long-haired Ragdoll cats, and my brand-new Whirlpool washer doesn't do better), (4) there was a very small leak underneath and will have to see what the problem is, (5) haven't figured out how to get the filter out and clean yet, (6) the washer agitation and "dryer" spin are really good, (7) Read the 4/5-star reviews from other people on how this washer operates -- toss the little tiny booklet that comes with it -- had to use a magnifying glass to read some of the non-U.S. verbiage, (8) the water drained just fine on the concrete slope, just picked up one corner about 2 inches to see what else came out - not much, (9) AND MOST IMPORTANT TO ME -- this washer will NEVER be inside a home/dorm/apartment, etc. - only outside, and I can lift it when empty (82-year-old female). Don't believe the description that it will work inside an RV (trailer or motorhome - I've never seen an RV yet that would accommodate this inside unless in the shower - and I don't want to ruin the floor if it does leak or have to lift it in and out of the shower each time - I'll just leave it outside where we park for weeks at a time). Because we spend several months in the warmer southern states out in the desert with no hook-ups (i.e., retired seniors), I wanted a washer I could manually fill outside and drain. To fill, I will be using empty cat litter plastic jugs and draining on the nearby cactus and shrubs. I'll fill a lot of these jugs when we fill the RV tank in town. We hold 90 gallons in the tank and I can add some hot water in one jug, but usually wash in cold anyway. I've only done one smallish load, but the machine seems quite sturdy (although "rocks" when agitator is going) and drained okay. It will take one queen bed sheet at a time, and probably several more clothing items than the one load it did an hour ago. In case there were problems from the beginning, I didn't want to overload the washer on the first cycle. So far with just the one small load, I like it and for the several months we live in our motorhome, I won't have to haul clothes back and forth to a laundramat (wait for people to finish their laundry, get quarters, wait inside for a couple of hours, and sometimes get really dirty washers). Once we get to our southern destination (November 2025), and get set up, if there are any more concerns, I'll add to this review, but can't fault anything so far (other than small underside leak which I think is just coming from the hose hookup.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many clothes can it wash in each load in practice?**
A: It is recommended that you do not wash too many clothes at once, otherwise the water will overflow.
If you also want to find a machine that can wash shoes, you can learn about this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D3WPQT5/keywords=Portable%2Bwashing%2Bmachine

**Q: Do I need to prepare the pipe for this washing machine?or I can manually put the water inside?**
A: I put the washer in my standard bathtub, and use my shower head (it's the type with a hose) to fill the machine with water. Also having the machine in the tub, makes draining it easy and yes the machine is light enough to easily take it in and out of the tub, as needed

**Q: Is there a pump, for draining the water or is it a gravity thing?**
A: Gravity and it works without having to raise the machine. I put mine in my bathtub and just lower the hose when it’s time to drain and the water comes out easily. Some people mention needing a platform of some sort to raise the machine but I don’t find that necessary. When I am finished with it I do lift it and shake it to try to get any last water out of the hose before I put it away. Also I put cheap sponges under each leg because it moves when you use it and was scuffing my bathtub. The sponges protect the tub.

**Q: How do u use this no instructions do i need to buy more attachments**
A: set the tub up on a table or something up higher than where you're going to drain it.  I drain it into my bathtub so I set it up on a small, plastic, storage shelf. Then I put my clothes in the washer side, use my hand-held shower to fill it up, it has an overflow outlet so you can't overflow if you forget your filling it up. I fill it to the second from the top notch on the little filter inside the washer tub. Add low sudsing detergent (dreft) or arm and hammer with oxy but only a couple drops of it, it mixes well. Set to desired time 9 minutes, 15 mins for heavier or dirtier stuff. Wash, drain, fill again to rinse. wash, drain, place in spinner for 5 mins. (if it's just a shir or two, then 2 mins is fine.) take out and hang, dry with a fan or an upright drier with the heater at the bottom of it. If they dry stiff, you didn't rinse well enough or you are using too much soap. This machine cleans so well, you don't really need soap, but I use it for work clothes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it
*by A***D on February 14, 2026*

Well package, decent shipping time. Light enough for this senior to pickup. I put it in my bathtub just in case it leaks. As well as to fill it with my handheld shower. Washes clothes as it’s supposed, drains fine and the spinner side works really well. I run the spinner after washing before rinsing for 5 minutes. After rinsing I run it 10 minutes and items come out nearly dry. When spinning it does vibrate quite a bit. I ordered an anti vibration pad to put under it in hopes that it will dampen the noise. Doesn’t fit much so it’s a bit time consuming but it beats going to the public laundromat where you never know what people are washing. Thinking bodily fluids.YUCK
