HOSE???

[@lexc7036]

Hi! So sorry, but I just bought the machine after coming across your video. I am a little confused after reading the instructions book 😅, am I supposed to leave my faucet running during the whole time?

[@ImsimplyLC]

@@lexc7036 Hey! thanks for watching =) Yes leave the faucet on the whole time because it does about 2-3 rinse cycles. If you need to use the faucet, just pause the machine first. I hope this helps! if you're not already subscribed, please do, it would help me so much!

Where is the filter in a twin portable giantex washer?

[@user-lv2lm3ov5u]

I'm adding a review just to tell you thank you for enlightening me today. I have never cleaned that filter, never knew it existed, because of you I pulled out about an inch thick of dirt and lint. Thank you so much. I will be cleaning this on a regular basis. Btw I have had my machine 3 years 🤫🤫

[@michellemason7198]

Love your video. FYI, the sink hook up which is called an adapter/coupler/quick release (2 parts) has nothing to do with water flow or starting/stopping water, the machine does that. That green part (1st part) which I hope you are pressing down on to release is the quick release and the part actually connected to sink 2nd part (adapter) is a means of connecting the tube to sink since the tube that came with machine and tube you purchased isn't fitted for standard sinks.

[@dharianasuriel371]

Wow thank you so much, I’ve had the washer for a month now and today is my second time using it. Your video is sooo informative and have me a clearer understanding of how it works. I didn’t purchase a new hose I just ordered an adapter because my faucet is the super old one. It works perfect and I leave my sink on the whole wash and no issues the first time I was standing by turning it on and off but this time I left it on and no issues. Thanks again! I have subscribed ❤️

[@ImsimplyLC]

Yayy I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️ and thank you for subscribing and supporting 🖤🌾🍃

[@jacoberickson9865]

at 8:11 when you are showing the attachment to the sink. i found that this way is inconvenient for me personally as when its hooked up to the bathroom sink you cant wash your hands. To combat this I purchased a garden hose splitter with valves. this allows you to have water turned on for the machine and when you need to use the faucet you just open the valve on the second connection. But thank you for this video and the setup video. you convinced me to buy after watching and I have never been more satisfied with a product. No more trips to the laundromat, no more folding clothes in front of strangers.. this machine is pure bliss

[@ImsimplyLC]

What a great idea!

[@nancygrossman545]

[@anabelosorio33]

My husband found my machine in a flea market for $100.. lighty used. I absolutely love this portable washer. I use it in the bathroom. I noticed something yesterday, so I ran out of fabric softener but for some reason my clothes were smelling like softner. I thought maybe there is still softener still in my dispenser from previous washes.

[@anitasizemore4295]

Mine broke down in less than a year! What is Error #1 and how do you fix it? Won’t spin out water?

[@robobee1707]

Looks just like the GE portable machine. That was a good washer btw.

[@KahwahShutseh]

When you press and hold the water button for a few seconds you can add a bit more water that way as well. It'll flow until you release the button. 🙂

[@queenkimmylifeisgolden3265]

Thanks for your video I’m definitely about to order me a machine end of the month because of this madness in the world n I’m sacred to go to the laundromat here in NYC and a lot are closed! I always wanted to buy one but this definitely give me the push

I'm not sure if you know most of these portable washers have filters at the back/bottom of them. The drain filter I think it's called 😕 but its a nob you unscrew some water will come out supposed to clean that once a month

[@ldyluv6988]

Excellent review!! Thank you 🙌🏾 Can you possibly do a review on your dryer. Does it need a vent to the outside? Also do personally use the area they have there for the liquid softener.

[@rabb1t548]

Thanks so much for the video! I just purchased it but was wondering if I will be able to fill it with a bucket? my faucet doesn't have threads and not sure how else to fill it.

[@ImsimplyLC]

I personally have never used a bucket to fill it. I’m not sure if it will work though because of the settings. For example, if I have it on, and I don’t have faucet running, the machine will just pause and not continue until it can draw water. Sooo with that theory it makes me feel like maybe it won’t work 🙄

[@lihleeann93]

Mine is coming on Wednesday thank you for the update!

[@khollis31]

Where did you find your sink adapter? I looked for this as I tried using where a regular washer rather than portable goes. Washer worked except it wouldn't seal therefore flooding my bathroom.

no , it just helps spin out additional water after the wash , basically it should get the cloths to damp instead of soaked

[@grim_241]

Just ordered one! Thanks for your previous video!! Have you ever used the air dry setting? Is it just an extra spin cycle?

[@anabelosorio33]

No, it's about 2 3 spin cycles back to back. It's great. It leaves your clothes almost completely dry. Not like a dryer but almost dry. Depending on what kind of clothing your are air drying.

[@ImsimplyLC]

Yay thank you for watching and supporting, please Subscribe 🖤✨🌾 it definitely does help ring out the additional water in the clothes. I wouldn’t say it gets it to the point of being dry enough to wear right when it come out. But maybe shortly after! I hope thy helps.

[@lawrencev8771]

Man how do u start it up I can't get it to start it spins but won't wash

[@Angela_1106]

Hello, thank you for this video. I need some help. I just receive my new machine , but I am a little confused about the settings. Wha I understood is that 1 select the water level, 2 select the type of was I want . for example, I select water level 6 then I select Normal and press start. I am confused when I see program 07 was and rinse. If I select Normal wash would that setting was, rinse and spin? Or do I have to select later manually to rinse and spin like setting 08? Can you please help me with those settings? Need help despertly pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Thanks

[@ImsimplyLC]

Lol hopefully I can help. So when I use it normally, I select the water level, and then just immediately press start. At times if I just need to rinse something or do specific part of the cycle, then I’ll use that cycle setting button. For example I may have a blanket that I washed on level 6, and let’s say I washed it last night, but forgot to dry it, so the next day I may just want to rerun a rinse cycle by putting it on water level 6, and then cycle program level 8, and then press start.

[@thibautvondanner]

Hi, I just wonder if there is a softener dispenser on this machine ? It looks like there is one on the side of the drum but I don’t really understand how it works ? Do you pour softener before launching a washing circle? How does it get inside of the drum at the right time ? How does it really work? Thank you !

[@ImsimplyLC]

Hey there! No, there isn’t a softener dispenser, at least not to my knowledge. What you’re seeing may be the lint filter ( purple square thing). I don’t use softener often, but when I have, I wait until the water is almost filled up and then I pour it in while the water is pouring 🤷🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️ I don’t know if that was the best method but my clothes turned out normal.

[@robertd6925]

How did it hold up?

[@isamuhoshino9945]

I figured out how to get water into the washer, there is an electric valve that does not open until the washer determines that it is ready. The problem I have is that I have to stand-by and wait to turn my faucet on, and the moment the washer has enough water the valve closes and water shoots from the top of the hose down the washer. Then when it gets to rinse time, I have to come back on my own and turn the faucet on, and again the moment that the washer has enough water it closes the valve and water leaks/shoots from the top of the hose again. What are you using to control the water so you don't have to stay next to the washer? Thanks!

Because they are made in China and then sold to different distributors that put their company name on it and sell it. I am fairly certain there are only two or three companies building there fully automatic washing machines that are being sold to consumers.
