I did the same thing about 10 years ago with a washer that I got from Walmart online to wash my three boys clothes and then I would just take it downstairs to the apartment dryers. You could also get a clothes drying rack or hang some line in your living room and close pin it the old-fashioned way to dry. Super helpful!

[@Sams-explorations]

So nice to hear you used them back then. It looks like they’ve come in handy for a long time and still today. I was thinking of getting a clothes rack to go in my bathroom!

[@InterwebUser-ps7ju]

@@Sams-explorations Yes my washer was a little different. It was a regular old fashioned washer just in mini form. I bought it online from Walmart for around $300 and it was so worth it. A drying rack definitely helps or you could purchase a mini portable dryer too 👍🏼💕

[@dalemorris7014]

Wow! That's huge. I just checked Amazon it's $179 now. You sure got a deal. I have a couple of portable washers. Love them too! Great video!

[@Sams-explorations]

Prices have gone up but still it’s a great deal. Glad you love yours, thank you for the support! ❤️

[@torylinngryffindorhg5354]

I just got mine yesterday, I'm already in love with it!! I bought a 5.5 gallon trash can to use that instead of the big bowl i was initially using. It'll be completely dedicated to laundry, but it saved the multiple trips to and from the sink!

[@Sams-explorations]

That’s awesome! So glad to hear you’re loving it already 😊

[@sleepywoof5595]

Ty for posting this!! I got mine on fb marketplace, used once so it was basically new. The belt under the washer half needed some lubricant since it had been a bit dusty in storage. Hoping I can get to stop squeeking lol. The instructions I could find online were p vague for water level and amount of clothes but this is a really good example.

[@Sams-explorations]

It is amazing how little detergent is needed, especially to wash towels. I learned the hard way using my portable washing machine. The first time I washed towels, I ended up rinsing three times before most of the detergent was rinsed out. A little detergent goes a long way and I'm still playing around with the ratio. Less detergent is definitely more with these small machines.

[@Sams-explorations]

Exactly. Keeping an eye on how much detergent is being used will yield better results. Thanks for sharing!

[@JC-vz9hz]

Wow that is so nice. I think that is worth it for an apartment or small space. Seems to do a good job.

[@Sams-explorations]

Thanks! It’s really helpful , cleans the clothes, and saves me time and money so win win! 😊

[@dhayden1981]

I just got mine a few days ago. I love it. I wish I had a Portable dryer tho. That's on my bucket list, tho. I got it for same reasons as you. I live in a 2 bdrm apt upstairs and even tho there are washers and dryers in basement, there are far more tenants than those appliances. So this way I'm in my apt, minding my business, and no fuss. I'm saving money and convenience.

[@Sams-explorations]

Glad you’re loving it!! ❤️ And yes heavy on the “I’m in my apt, minding my business and no fuss” 👏🏾

[@dhayden1981]

My mom just surprised me with a portable dryer a few minutes ago. I'm in complete shock right now. Like it just showed up from myself to myself. I'm like I didn't order this. So i checked my Amazon account and bank account. I'm no there's no transaction. I'm like who sent me this???? I'm flabbergasted! Totally made my day.

[@mossymindful]

Thanks for this tutorial! Your personality is so sweet 🎂💖 i found this washer on the curb out front of my neighbor's house. He just moved in so im guessing it just wasnt meeting his and his kids needs

[@Sams-explorations]

Thank you for stopping by! Yes it depends on the persons situation, I use mine when I need to wash small loads and I’m current on laundry. If I’m backed up, I head to laundromat! 😂❤️

[@teresabarker5645]

I just got mine delivered. I purchased it from Lowes. There were no instructions with it. Thank you for your help. Your video was great 👍 ❤.

[@Sams-explorations]

That’s awesome and I’m stoked they had it in stock! You’re very welcome and glad this video helped you! ❤️

[@jessicapetrin1655]

I used to use a bucket to fill as well until I found an awesome shower attachment. It has a shower head and another spot with a hose and another spot for another shower head. So I just use the hose to fill the washer. Works awesome. Just thought I would share. It was a game changer for me. 😊

[@Sams-explorations]

That’s a great idea. I only use the bucket because the hose that came with it still wasn’t long enough to connect from the sink to the spout of the washer. Also my shower head is too short too lol. I will definitely look for some longer ones to make it easier to fill up. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@jessicapetrin1655]

@@Sams-explorations it was pretty inexpensive too. I think around $20. ☺️

[@christineboesch4480]

thank you - very well done. you answered my other questions & i just have one more: do you use cold or warm water in your wash loads ?

[@Sams-explorations]

Thanks for your support on my video! I normally use warm water to wash but i think you can use any temp and be fine.

[@Sunny-tc3ul]

Get you a stocking cap and tie it onto the end of the drain pipe. This will keep all the lint from clogging up your tub drain pipe.

[@Sams-explorations]

This is a great idea, thank you so much for this tip and your support! ❤️

[@pghzoolady]

Thank you SO much for this video. I just got my washer today and haven't used it yet. The instruction booklet wasn't very detailed. QUESTION how much liquid detergent is too much to use???

[@Sams-explorations]

I feel like you don’t need to use nearly as much as you’d use in a regular washer. Maybe even a quarter of what you’d normally use would be fine.

[@anubis1133]

It looks like you are using a lot of soap for the relatively small load. Modern day detergent is highly concentrated. Maybe look at the back of the deterget bottle and reconsider how much detergent you need, as using too much could result in it still being in the clothes and cause skin irritation, especially if you have kids. I have one of these too and you'd be surprised, by how little detergent you actually need.

[@Sams-explorations]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely keep that in mind next time.

[@MsOrionsmom]

I just got mine today. I'm trying to find the fill line for water.

[@Sams-explorations]

Mine doesn’t havea fill line but you shouldn’t go past the filter inside of it.

[@lisabarrick4819]

Sam, I have a question. How do you get your towels to be soft? When mine are drying they are pretty rough. Thank you. 😊

[@Sams-explorations]

Hey! You could put some fabric softener in when you wash your towels and that should Help soften them when they air dry.

[@lisabarrick4819]

Thank you, Sam.

[@geooeh]

Can you use either warm or cold water

[@Sams-explorations]

i’ve used both hot and cold water and never had issues.

What kind of outlet are you using? A 110 or 220?

Did you take the plastic off the dryer top?

[@Sams-explorations]

which plastic? I may have left the plastic on the spin top

[@MZN3N3123]

Oh okay yeah I meant the spinner sorry I didn’t know if that really mattered to take it off or not

[@yoshitofunakoshi7720]

Is this the 20 lb, 28 lb or 40 lb capacity washer?

[@Sams-explorations]

I believe this is the 28lb one.

You should be able to turn the knob to drain and the water drains from the tube on the side of the machine. I’d suggest reaching out to customer support if you ordered on amazon, they are very responsive.

[@jennyeagan1840]

​@@Sams-explorationspurchased mine about 18 months ago. Tried several times to leave the machine on the bathroom floor, place the drain hose over the tub to drain. Never worked. Mine needs to be inside the tub with the draining hose lying flat, requires me to keep an eye on it so it does not flood upwards and wreck the tub machine. My spinner as expected, went out in the 7 month timeline others had. Check the troubleshooting manual and the prongs connected to the kid, but that was not the problem. Now, after rinsed, am grateful for a very long handicapped bar to start drip drying and handwriting. Takes awhile. Then clothes get clipped on to clothes hangers. The washer is a real workhorse. Needs a bit of incoming and outgoing water babysitting for which I usually do yoga or therapy stretches. Ended up getting a home fish aquarium net several months ago, because the lint trap unpredictable as to what it catches. Have had my cat twelve years now, and have spent a lot of time pulling out cat hair mostly out of her lap blankets and some of my clothes like house socks. Tedious work especially the first month or two. Surprisingly, the other apartment complex laundry machines were not picky up all of that amazingly hidden hair. I do this to both keep allergies down and to keep my machine from clogging up. And to think, I regularly brush my cat and keep up with the apartment fur issues.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Please explain why anyone would want a spin section so tiny that you have to sit there doing 2 or more spin sections per wash? Why aren't we calling out these Chinese companies for making these machines?

[@Sams-explorations]

I mean I didn’t really think about that since I never even knew these existed. It’s convenient for my needs even if it requires a bit more work. The price wasn’t bad and allows me to wash my clothes at home.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

@@Sams-explorations I respect your feelings, but It's a deal breaker for me. Just venting about the dumb things they do when they engineer something.
