[@CheetohsNotCheetahs]

I just ordered one. I hope its quite enough for my 3rd floor apt. I noticed on the review videos on Amazon that most of the folks having issues fogged over lids on the inside. Which leads me to believe they were using hot water instead of the recommended cold. It could be why the issues they are having are happening.

Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to our community and the channel!! Yes, I agree with ya 100%, some folks are determined to use hot/warm water in this machine which is a no-no!!! Dan

@@eagriffith8117 I think for capacity reasons the 3.0 would be best but the 2.0 has been working great for me up to this point. They also make a 2.7 front load machine as well which I think can work great for stacking the dryer onto one.

I can't *wait* to get it set up and start reducing the pile of dirty clothes in my HUGE laundry hamper. 🤣 My only gripe with the video is no closed captions.😪 Being "of an age" I've come to rely on closed captions to ensure I "hear" what I thought was said...kwim?

Awesome video Dan!! Your content is so helpful and I’m wanting to buy this washer now. One question I do have though is the hose drain gravity based? Meaning do I have to keep it leveled or low to the ground to drain the water or can it be higher up in a sink/vanity and drain that way without me manually draining it? I appreciate your time again!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Cameron Quilies, welcome to our community and the channel!! No sir, the drain hose is not gravity based, my drain hose sits higher than the washer as my sink sits higher, when that washer goes into drain mode it discharges that water into the sink with no problems!! I hope this answers your question!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great week!! Dan

[@BootstrapLil]

Hello Dan from the Stix, I cannot find the answer to fix my machine and you were able to help before so here's hoping. Water is coming out of the bottom, not running straight through, but I notice that water leaks out from ?? sometimes from the 2ndry lint catcher at the bottom, maybe somewhere else not sure. I turned the machine over to look under the bottom plate and noticed a tube not hooked to anything (not sure if it is supposed to be) but can't seem to find a video to what the inside "should" look like nor written answers to what may be the problem. Thanks for reading and for any suggestions you may have.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hmmm, that' an odd one mam but the tube that's not hooked to something seem out of place. Make sure you close that secondary filter tight, hand tight as there is a gasket around that handle if I'm not mistaken. Have you tried contacting B+D regarding this issue? Dan

[@jacqa.1244]

Thank you for this video. Have you ever had time left after a spin cycle? I've done 2 loads now and it spins once and then I have 7 mins or 5 mins left and nothing happens. Any thoughts or suggestions?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! Which spin cycle are we talking about? There's one spin cycle after the 1st wash and another after the 2nd wash period before the machine does a long spin cycle to complete the wash program. My machine does pause momentarily after each cycle but not for 7 or 5 minutes. What I don't know is if B+D changed the programming on their newer washers. Dan

[@Danfoodforest]

Happy Friday and weekend Mr Dan Cool little machine.. and it does the job Lint trap good option Great Q&A

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching Mr D, y'all have a great week sir!! Dan

[@victordobin5918]

Just to add to one of the the answers. The water doesn't have to run continuously only when it needs to refill. You can set your own timer and on a gentle cycle it fills roughly every 15 minutes so you can close the water and open just before it is done with rinsing. Also there is a table with cycle times in the instruction manual so you can verify it yourself.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to our community and the channel!! Thank ya for the info, I need to check those cycle times out!! Have a great week!! Dan

Thank you for this "most commonly asked questions" segment! The first five or six were all questions I had myself and now I have a good understanding of what I'm looking at without having to go all over youtube to get them answered in five or six other places. Good job! One last question, though. If my two sinks neither have a removable aerator on their faucets, am I SOL? The kit of adapters you recommend says they don't work on that type of faucet.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Doug Friendly, welcome to our community and the channel sir!! I'm glad ya found the video useful but unfortunately I don't think your faucets are going to work as one needs threads either on the outside or inside of the water source to connect the water adapter. Only option I can see is to change your faucet out if ya intend on using it on a sink. sorry sir. Dan

[@joeblobyisme3708]

Hey Dan great video. I live in an apartment complex with a laundry room. But people mess it up and break the machines sometimes. Many times people leave their clothes in the machines and others can’t use them. So I thought about getting this. My bathroom is too small to hold the machine. Could I fill the machine up and drain it without pipes? Or could I extend the water pipes? Thanks.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting joebloby is me, welcome to our community and the channel!! Hmmm, reckon you could extend the water line to the machine but you'd always have to have a way to discharge the water from the drum. As far as filling the machine with water manually logically I don't see why one couldn't BUT how much water to use is the question. The machine probably has sensors around/near the drum that tells the machine how much water to add during a wash cycle, I think one would run into a problem in that sense filling the machine manually. Hope this might have helped ya out some!! Dan

[@leslies.9262]

Hey there! We just got one of these machines. The hose fits well with the sink. The issue we have is that it will pop off every so often and I think it's supposed to stay connected the whole time. I've looked up how to fix this issue, but haven't found any answers. Any ideas?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Take A Bite, welcome to our community and the channel!! Hmmm, so the adapter screws on to your faucet good, did you make sure the black washer was installed before you connected the adapter to your sink? Now the adapter that screws on to your faucet has a coupling that attaches the hose to the adapter, make sure you push the hose into the adapter, it should click, if not, that hose will fly off every time and water will go everywhere!! I hope this may help ya out some!! I preciate ya stopping by the channel, have a great weekend!! Dan

Dan I have another question because the wording in the manual is unclear. I unscrew the aerator from kitchen sink. What remains has external threads. Do I attach the sink adaptor making sure that the rubber gasket is on top or do I remove the rubber gasket and then screw on the sink adapter? The language could definitely be improved.

Hi! Love your videos! I’m planning on getting one, but I’m scared of how much my water bill will increase. How much would you say it makes increase the water bill?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Mrs Nathaly, welcome to our community and the channel mam!! No mam, I have not seen a water increase since I've been using this machine. Keep in mind I only wash clothes once a week and I run the machine on normal mode. I hope this helps ya out some!!

The instructions on my 0.9cu HomeLabs portable washer State not to fill the drum any more than 75%. There should be 25% room left in the drum, and that is considered max capacity. My washer is the exact same as the one in the video, just a different brand. Design is identical. And as far as powder detergent, that is actually what the manufacturer recommends you use in this washer. I do not (lol). I’ve tried pods. They are too strong/too much detergent for the load size. I actually use Tide Oxy Liquid detergent, and only fill the detergent cup half way to the 1 on the Tide measuring cup lid. I use cool water 98% of the time. When I use “hot” water for things like towels & sheets, I only make it as hot as the water you’d use to take a shower. No hotter, or you can crack the drain hose, and melt the tube.

Hello Kay, welcome to our community and the channel!! Thank ya for the information on your washer, sounds like our machines are similar!! I preciate ya watching and commenting, have a good week!! Dan

Hi Dan 👋👽 first time here. Just got my B&D 0.9 cu today, my first run very small bath towel and small hands towel in small rapid setting. Worked good, so I proceeded in next bigger load of couple long leggings, house dress, pair socks, and medium weight size bath towel on large normal. Machine kept stopping while minutes kept going down. I looked outside the water only filled little over half way. Do you think it stopped because I put to.much clothes? (Is that too much clothes for this machine?) Also you said it needed to have water on all the time, wonder if it stopped because I turn water down? (Did so because I see pipe leak under sink when water on and machine not adding water...

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello mam, thank ya for watching and commenting!! My washer does stop during a wash cycle and a few minutes later to continues to wash. As far as the water in the drum, the machine will add more water if it needs it so leaving the water on is a must. Regarding that leak, ya may have to tighten your fittings up under the sink and as long as you have the water on, your machine will work fine I think!! Dan

[@jeanlujan6129]

Yeah the fitting that you’re putting on the sink my parents used to have that because they had a portable Dishwasher and that was the part that you had to have so the part click into it I had an old washing machine that I bought from a Amish store had the exact same thing I love that washer until it died

Dan I bought the machine. I have a minor leak on the right side back corner. Pretty sure it's because when the machine fills it's a steady stream except for the right hand side which trickles & is probably running down outside of drum. Has anyone mentioned this w a solution? Amazon comment said that tray inside was installed wrong and he reversed it. Not sure how bc there's no room to get a screwdriver in there. I can ask for a replacement but it'll be the same problem.

[@joanturri5500]

When I call customer service there's no techs to speak to.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hmmm, that's an odd one as my washer has never leaked like that before, is something lodged in piece that adds the water to the drum? Dan

My apartment complex has really small faucets. So I don't even think there are adapters that would fit my sink. And I tried looking it up but I don't understand how to tell what size faucet I have, to know what adapter to look for.

Thank ya for watching and commenting Mrs Samantha, welcome to our community and the channel!! I would think your faucets are the standard 1/2" MPT or 1/2" FPT, any way to measure your faucets? Dan

[@shacltr9533]

I just recently bought the 1.6 and my faucet leaks. The one problem is the aerator was so hard to remove, but I got it out. The hookup that goes into the faucet sprays water everywhere even with a towel over it, so I took it off and put the old aerator back and even that was hard to do, took hours when it should’ve took seconds. So that lets me know the threading on the faucet is messed uo Im assuming. So Ive tried hooking the water piece back to the faucet and its hard as hell. Again, been back at it for hours. And when I do eventually get it to screw in, water sprays all over the place. Do you have any idea what I can do? I thought about the teflon tape, but Im over it and my thumb & pointer finger look like Ive been playing with a razor blade from all the twisting. Please let me know thx!

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Sha Cltr, welcome to our community and the channel!! Are we talking about hooking up the water line to your faucet? If the water line is spraying water everywhere, check to see if the washer is installed on BOTH ends of the line. Threading the adapter onto your faucet can be tricky and one can cross thread that adapter easily so be careful, ask me how I know this lol!! I hope this may answer your questions!! Dan

[@amberdream1308]

Apparently the machine is supposed to be cold-water only because hot water can damage the ABS plastic parts that make up the fittings and stuff and you'll get cracks and leaks. :)

Who would make a washer machine like that? The materials are poor quality! Sometimes hot water is a must for some clothes, like killing bedbugs, etc.

Hello Presenex, welcome to our community and the channel!! Actually that's a great question that was never brought up actually but to answer your question, this machine makes very little noise running, however if one puts to many clothes in the machine, come spin cycle time, the machine might make a racket due to the clothes being offset in the drum as it's spinning.
