So happy I found this video! No joke I was just looking at buying this EXACT machine earlier. Looks good enough for small loads.

[@rachelbolyard1527]

You’ll get better results if you put the soap in first. Sometimes, the soap can stain clothing, particularly if it has brighteners. It’s a cool little unit. :)

[@djyitavk]

Thanks for the tip!

[@tooliewho]

Very informative. I've been looking into small washing machines for when I buy a narrowboat and this looks like the sort of one I need to get.

[@CelebrityLyrics]

Hey for mine after it does the spin dry it doesn't rise and then spin dry to finish. I want mine to rinse after its wash. How do I do that?

[@TaylorZ2]

Hi Yitav, do you know why this is not supposed to be used with hot water? I don't trust cold water for my gym clothes. Tks

[@djyitavk]

It doesn't say why, but I would think because of the plastic components. it may not be durable enough.

[@mymymy9452]

*Can you just poor the water in from a bucket?*

[@SashaMoniqueTalks]

You did a great video on this machine. I am thinking about getting one.

[@kellie5138]

I would've added that much detergent a few months ago. Since I started cloth diapering my son, I've learned how fabrics get detergent buildup so easily! Small machines like this need to he treated as a "HE" machine & use way less detergent. For this load if they're not extremely filthy, I would just do about 1 or maybe 1.5 tbsp tops. 🙂more does not equal cleaner. Thank you for the review, I'm looking into buying one like this!

[@TheJayellevee]

Do you have this washer/dryer and if yes how many cloth diapers can it wash in one load?

[@kellie5138]

@@TheJayellevee I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing your comment. I don't use more than 2 or 3 tbsp of any detergent for clothes. For cloth diapers I use 1.5 tbsp per cycle (cloth diapers requires two full washes to fully clean)

[@Orlanzepol123]

Lots of people don’t like HE machines or HE detergents because the machines use very little water and the detergents don’t create lots of suds 🧼. They say the machines and detergents don’t get their clothes clean. I feel they work great as long as you follow the instructions for both.

[@hudajehan]

I’m comparing either this one the Giantex or the Black & Decker one. I’m also in a small condo and would use it by the sink kitchen or washroom.

[@cribbles3476]

May I asked which one you went with? After days of research still so unsure.

[@main2333]

@@cribbles3476yeah. Saw review for black and decker on Amazon. Not great. Yet you tube reviews like it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I bought one a month ago and i used it today but it won’t rinse for whatever reason and there’s like a burning rubber smell emitting from the inside what should I do

[@minivanventuring]

Nice but definitely not enough water to really open up the towels

[@preludefugue4859]

Can you use a bucket to dump the water directly into the machine?

[@jz5059]

Yes

[@queenmodegaming]

@@jz5059 I can’t hook up my inlet hose to the back of my washer for some reason so I just have the hose laying in the machine, but issue with that is how will it stop filling the tub if it’s not connected 👁 first time I washed my clothes it looks like it was stuck on rinse . So I paused my machine and changed the program to spin . I mean my clothes came out clean but it’s kinda a hassle because it’s supposed to be automatic . My question is if u manually fill it or when u just run the hose into the tub like I do when do I add water . Rinse ? Spin?

[@carytheus5058]

I thought the machine you are supposed to use cold water only

[@ivadadiva9173]

Thanks for your video, it really helped me, I just bought one last week, because the hose it came it doesn’t fit my kitchen or bathroom faucet, I ordered an adopter on amazon but it didn’t fit neither so I had to add water manually, it did a good work so far

[@jer1230]

Hi! How’s it going with adding the water manually? I’ve been considering doing this. Just was concerned about possibly messing up the amount of water but also trying to do the rinse cycle properly... does it have a censor that beeps? How did you know how much water to add? Would appreciate this info, thanks!

[@ivadadiva9173]

How do you get it to drain?

[@ThePowerOfCryptoCurrency]

Gracias for the details. What hoses would you recommend when using in the kitchen sink?

[@djyitavk]

I would recommend this faucet adapter kit depending on your type of faucet. it should fit most of them. Here is a link amzn.to/3Qt2nMw

Does it have the option to turn off the UV light?

How do you dry the clothes

[@tishm2102]

I use my portable dryer, a Panda 3.5 cu.ft . Originally bought a wash/spin unit but I returned it after watching the 6 month update video. I returned it, and had my refund within a week. Then ordered the Giantex Easy Life washer #EP24697. I washed my clothes by hand until this arrived yesterday and used my dryer, Big Thumbs Up except for my hand washing days...Can't wait to get this washer online, which should be very soon. The dryer is pretty good size, but well worth it. I set it next to my sliding glass door out to the balcony and hold the venting tube between the glass and the frame. My Cat stays away from it and voila, dry clothes!
