Hi! Question: In your opinion, does the machine move about during the spin cycle when it's on the dolly?

@douglas byron Smotherman I did buy them! :) I got them here: amzn.to/3bKC8uV

Finally someone has done a review on this washer. When I bought this exact model a while back, I couldn’t find a review anywhere online, so I took a chance and bought it anyway. I must say it’s a nice reliable portable washer. I highly recommend it.👍

[@JuliaCaban]

I’m so glad to hear that! I also love this washer and swear by it! Such a great buy, it already saved me so much $$ since I don’t go to laundromat anymore.

The portable washers clothes come out dryer than a regular washer. I don't know if it is smaller loads, but the spinner is more powerful on the Portable washers.

[@peterpiper487]

You can just fill up your washer using a pitcher. Fill up the pitcher a few times and pour the water into the washer. I did that when I had my mini washer. No leaks that way. BTW, these portables washers have been known to clog plumbing so it's important to attach a filter on the end of the drain hose . That will filter out the lint so that you don't clog the plumbing pipes after some time of accumulation of lint. Just replace the lint trap when it gets full or clean it out.

[@novahittingthegroundrunnin9933]

Very useful information. Thanks

[@vincewillis3733]

How did u drain it

[@emeraldscissorhands7368]

I thought so, use pitcher...

[@turodre9899]

So what you're saying is that instead of connecting your machine to a sink so it can fill up with water to the load level you chose, you can do it manually with a pitcher to your desired max? And if so how do you know when you need to add more water for the rinse cycle?

[@firetopman]

Thanks, Pete, for those great suggestions.

[@karianne004]

Wow... I bought a house last year, and for the first time, I got my own washing and drying machine. Before that, I lived in a small appartment we had to go to the laundrymat. 8 years I did that... And now I am SO MAD that those existed and I didn't even know 😭 That looks A-MA-ZING!!

I bought a mini portable washer to use when my big washer broke as a temporary one to do laundry. Just a bit of advice I recommend that you dry your washer and let it air out before storing it in your closet to avoid mold and mildew as well as odors. I like your review it was very informative. Thanks, Sandra

[@JuliaCaban]

Yes! Very important ☝️I always leave the hose inside of the washer so it won’t close and this way it airs out and never had any issues with mold:)

This washer has a built-in lint filter plus a button trap filter. Really no need to add anything to the drain hose.

[@UmitArik]

It’s amazing and You only have to really use the 19 minute rapid spin which to me seems fine rather than using 40 minutes since the load size isn’t large and you basically end up washing 3 loads in less than an hour!

You're the best, Julia!! Thank you so much!!

[@magpiephotographysaintjohn930]

Be sure the drain hose lays under the intake hose and is tied securely to hold it in place. They can jump out of the sink while draining and flood the floor. It happened to me. Thankfully the floor covering saved me as it rolls up higher under cupboards cupboards.

Great review I just picked one up today...for my socks and underwear and a few work clothes they raised the price on the washer machine so I decided to try this

I rearranged my kitchen to get a stacked washer and dryer in my tiny house... Cause no way my family can function without full laundry. Our neighbors (also in a tiny house) have a laundry set up outside on their back porch. Everyone in a tiny house always figures out how to get that laundry done lol. ❤️ I do have a similar set up for my dish washer, that you do for your portable washing machine, it hooks up to the kitchen sink and drains there as well. It's a life saver.

[@mercedessabine5703]

I bought it a year ago and I recommend it 100%. My washing machine is working like the first day. It has never presented any problem. It does not take up much space, it is easy to install, to use, it has a good capacity for its size, it washes, rinses and wrings clothes very well. It does not make noises when washing and neither when it is wringing the clothes. I specify that this washing machine squeezes the clothes, but does not dry them. Get your clothes ready to dry in the dryer or in the sun. If you are undecided to buy it or not, do not hesitate. Believe me, the money you will invest in it will be a good investment. I advise you to place at the end of the hose, where the water comes out, put a filter on it. I put mine in one of a fine stocking. All the lint from your clothes gets caught in it and it won't be a problem for your drain pipes.

I just tried to use it for the first time and water poured out of the unit onto the floor five minutes after starting the cycle. I stopped and unplugged (and cleaned), then opened to see that water was up to the very top of the basin (and that's why it was pouring out). This may seem like a very obvious question and I'm embarrassed to ask, but *when do you turn off the water faucet during the cycle?* I can see in your videos when you turn on the faucet, but I never see you turn it off. In the manual, it does not specify, either. Am I supposed to leave the water faucet running the entire time, or am I supposed to fill to a certain level and then shut the faucet off to prevent overflowing? I'm not sure if you read these comments, but thanks for any advice you have.

[@JuliaCaban]

The washer should turn the water off automatically when it reaches the right level (1,2or3). You don't need to turn of the faucet until you're done with laundry. I'm sorry this happened to you. It sounds like you got a faulty washer.

[@perinekj]

For the soap cup, you can also rinse it in the washer tub to clean it out.

[@JuliaCaban]

That’s a great tip! Someone else also recommended it and I started doing it :) Thank you for watching!

[@58jennypenny]

of all the portable washers I have seen this seems the best one.

[@JuliaCaban]

thank you! I'm so glad to hear that :)

[@JustinKenward]

I just dropped the whole cup of laundry detergent into the washer.

[@glittersthriftycorner-evy9932]

I have this machine, really good a cleaning clothes. Better than Panda or Magic Chef. Update: had to return the washer, hemorrhaged to much water from the lint plug. Instead went with the RCA washer and best investment I have made besides my Panda compact sensor dryer. Highly recommend both of these. They work beautifully.

[@JuliaCaban]

I’m glad to hear that!:) I had a feeling it would be more solid and I’m so thankful I decided to get this one - it still works like new!

[@ericpistons9387]

What rca mode u got?

[@Cali_LA]

Thank you, very helpful!!!

[@JuliaCaban]

Glad it was helpful!

[@harlemsurfergirl]

@juliacaban thank you so much for this video. I went with the magic chef 1.6 and am super excited. I have lived in nyc for 11 years without a washer and u have helped my huge decision on whether to move out or stay in an apartment with no washer. This definitely was a video most New Yorkers needed. And thanks for the follow up

[@JuliaCaban]

I’m so happy to hear that!!:) having a in unit washer/dryer is a true luxury - it’s been a year since I got it and I can’t imagine my life without it. I finally can do laundry when I want/need to and not when no one else is using it :) and I don’t have to carry laundry basket anywhere 🙈 it saves so much time and stress. The best investment I made! ☺️🙌

[@tulipsun2026]

What made you go with the magic chef instead- the size?

[@siminthesky]

The outer case looks much like my breadmaker haha

Great review. I went through the same problem finding an adapter piece to fit my sink 😩 My washer had to sit for 3 weeks while I searched high and low for the right piece..

[@JuliaCaban]

I totally feel you! I was so frustrated when all the adapters I bought didn’t match, but I’m glad I finally found the right one on amazon :) wish I went look for it there in the first place, because it would save me so much time and gas 😉

[@Mingley01]

Look in the garden area for adapter if all else fails and get a steel braided hose if the hose that came with the portable washer is leaking.

Hi Julia, thanks for uploading the video with very clear tutorial. I have one question. Does this washer let you know when to put in the fabric softener?

[@magpiephotographysaintjohn930]

fabric softener can clog up the machine. Using a small splash of vinegar softens clothes and no smell is left after . Vinegar also works as a whitener . ( very old tip my grandmother taught me.)

[@shahalieschrepfer6098]

I used to buy the arm and hammer detergent because I didn’t think it mattered and thought it still worked but I’ve found Tide is really the best. My clothes I thought were ruined came clean. My clothes came out a different color. Lol. I used arm and hammer for years but I will not longer ever buy from them.

[@bdetteg7809]

COVID-19 + coin 'shortage' = life saving purchase! Thank you!

[@miz_pi3876]

Bit long winded but good to have a review of it. Thanks.

[@jamiehgirl]

I have subbed to you, checkout my video on washing, it is short and to the point😊😊

[@donnacoile9759]

I agree most of it is way over talked about nothing. Quit wastching

[@UA_L]

Extremely annoying accent, poor editing skills, lots of rambling too. I gave up after 3 minutes.

[@bluekitty.81]

@@UA_L Why then take the time to search through the comments and take more time writing a comment? The person who made the original comment gave constructive criticism without being rude. You made a comment about something you yourself claim didn't even watch for more than 3 minutes 🙄

[@ACCreationFilmStudio]

I wish I knew about these years ago! That would've saved me so much time, money and headaches. Especially with lost socks and stuff! That can get so frustrating with traveling laundry back and forth from the house to the laundromat. I'm currently shopping for a portable washer now! Unfortunately, I can't find one that will clean King size comforters yet. Has anybody else had any luck? It's a necessity in our household. At least I'll be able to do the sheets and clothing at home again soon! Thank you for your video!

[@JuliaCaban]

Thank you for watching! :) Since I also couldn’t wash the king comforter in my portable washer, I decided to splurge and get a really good quality dawn comforter, and I invested in a linen duvet cover - so now I don’t have to wash the whole comforter, and I just wash the cover! I can highly recommend it :)
