how to use giantex portable washing machine & dryer | is it worth it?

[@lilpeeva]

link to the machine I'm using is in the bio

[@lindcobbs4615]

I live in an apartment with no elevator and I'm arthritic. It was a hassle for me to climb stairs not to mention going into an unsecured basement without security cameras and an unsecured entrance to the building. My son gifted me with this exact model and I'm thrilled with it. It washes really good and it practically spin my clothes half dry.

[@lilpeeva]

amazing 👏

[@buffalokay]

The HomeLabs portable washer has been a game-changer for me. I’ve had mine since summer of 2021, and I am in love with it. I actually have anxiety about what I’m going to do if mine ever shits the bed 😆

[@geminijohannes]

How is it on your electric bill?

[@sharonbartley808]

They sell portable dryers too. Just use everything with caution.

[@24nysedadon]

My mom is getting tired of seeing my clothes piled up for weeks when she visits my apartment, so here I am looking at portable washing machines. Lol😂

[@lilpeeva]

lol its worth it!!

[@cleopatraworld5204]

😂😂😂😂😂 I got kids and I don’t own a car at the moment and I’m really not trying to pay a cab to take me there and back so it was a must for me to invest in a washing machine when I got my first apartment 💕💕💕💕 just wait until I actually own a house

I have a GIANTEX brand washing machine for my suite and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! It saves me so much money and time and effort. I use one Tablespoon of liquid detergent per load and cold water (I use HOT for towels, etc). The hydro cost is $5 a year!! The convenience for this is immeasurable ❤❤

[@SubjectDelta9]

There is a "Softener Box" in the balance ring, really easy to see when you open the machine and see 4 drain opening on top of the tub ring. It is advisable to pour the softer in the beginning if you are using program 2-Standard, 3-Fast, 7-Wash & Rinse and 8- Rinse and Spin. These Programs have only 1 Rinse cycle and works fine. If you are using a different Program that has double rinse like 1-Normal, wait until the machine finished the first rinse, pause, add the Softener to be released in the final rinse. It works Great when one is Air drying like me. GREAT Machine! I am Really Happy with mine. 👍

[@HooverWD1100]

What is the different between normal and blanket cycle?

[@malloryknox6802]

Fabric softer creates a nasty gunk inside the machine and ruins it. It should never be used in a washing machine

[@KingDeadMan]

​@@malloryknox6802 Use vinegar.

[@nenehvideo7709]

I want to say a big thank you for saving me from going to the Laundromat with this machine. I have this machine but the hose that comes with it doesn't fit. When I came across your video and watched it, I went straight to the home Depot and buy what you said. I'm telling you, this machine is working great! Thank you once again and I recommend this machine to anyone that lives in an apartment or anywhere small. This machine is really good and saves me time.

[@lilpeeva]

yay! ur welcome!

[@kovuqui]

“Towels come out cripsy” 😂 Yeah I grew up in an apartment with only a washer cause dryers were a fire hazard (government housing). And we had clothesline and luckily i lived in a dry climate so it was wayy better to air dry anyway. We didnt care we put our underwear out there, no one ever stole our clothes.

[@anabelosorio33]

I have one. I just bought a replacement after 4 years but this little bad boy is amazing 👏 😍

[@anabelosorio33]

The reason I replaced it was only because I found it at a tag sale and I dont know how long it had been used for. But I bought another one same brand new. They are soo reliable.

[@lilpeeva]

haha im obsessed 🙌🏼

[@fabonikinicole]

Thank you so much! I am buying a portable washer right now. I live in a one bed with shared laundry and it sucks! I am going to the laundromat tomorrow but hopefully it will be the last time. Thanks and great video!🙂🙃

I got this and the portable dryer. I do hang dry clothes but then put them in the dryer to fluff them up. Esp towels, socks and bed sheets.

[@lilpeeva]

good idea..i shall try

[@Lara-ge6qd]

What brand dryer did you get? Would you tell pls?

[@dethmaul]

The clear film should be removed, if it's anything like clear film in cars it gets crispy with age and can kinda melt into the under-surface and damage it

[@maryhelenamlin8727]

Great video, any chance you can take a picture of the part number on the new hose you bought? Haven't been able to find one yet. And maybe a picture of the sink attachment when it is not attached. Cheers and thanks

[@lilpeeva]

Hi! I just took the hose the washer came with to my local hardware store and asked them to find the correct hose for me. also unscrewed my faucet head and brought that with me to show them the size. they should know best :)

[@mikestryper1053]

my mom and I have this washer and the same issue with the hose not connecting to the faucet. Do you know if manually filling the washer once is good enough for the fast setting you demonstrated in your video or does the water supply have to be running to the washer the whole time? Thanks for any feedback.
