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

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.

[@TheCaitlinMarie]

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.

[@sandraruiz909]

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.

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!

[@dannchamberlain4283]

Sandra brought up a good point that I forgot about. Nit only is it a good idea to hand dry your washer tub after use, but it is a really good idea to go with an empty wash and rinse every 2 or three weeks to make sure your tub and pump stay clear.

[@JesusFreakJene]

Black and Decker should have included it.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SparkingLife111]

How do you dry your clothing if you did three loads that day

[@trucker99mtldan15]

i bought a similar machine 1.6 cuft ;automatic from walmart 325 at door; is really help me;the amazing result when i live closets overnight with detergent(start wash and power off after the fullfilling with water);u can use different type of combination just stop and starting again; i highly recomend this type of laundry machine all of you!

[@JuliaCaban]

I do the same thing with this washer when I need to soak laundry a little longer :)

[@petermaz701]

Great job with the review. I have this exact washer, works really well. By the way, when in doubt about the water level always choose the higher amount it puts less strain on the motor and your clothes.

[@JuliaCaban]

That's a great advice! Will do! Thank you :)

[@Allsportstees]

so basically fill it all the way every time?

[@juriaanoussoren]

Does it heat and drain water like a normal one?

[@Nintendalie]

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.

[@kirahill6677]

[@sherrib4168]

I'm looking at your faucet and the way you attached your adapter and coupling to it. Your hose isn't like mine, my hose is all white, even the end is white and plastic. Anyway, I had to order a different all in one adapter, the end that suppost to go on my washer is connected to my faucet, and the end that suppost to connect to the faucet is on the washer. It works, but I had a difficult time working with it, I have cuts and sore spots all over my hands because of the brass coupler.

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.

[@Jessicad654]

I live in an apartment and these are not allowed in our building sadly. Well I snuck in the B&D washer and I was so excited to use it! It ended up being a disaster though, water was spewing out from the sink, from the hose connection, water was pouring out from the bottom of the washer itself. I was so worried I would flood my downstairs neighbors apartment. Luckily I didn’t - the washer got sent back the same day.

[@JuliaCaban]

I’m so sorry to hear that:( it’s possible the drain hose wasn’t secured well enough? I never detach mine and I never had problems with water leaking out of it. It is important to keep it above the washer level- if you put the drain hose on the ground below the washer then it will leak out leftover water - you can put the drain hose in the shower to let the water out, but I never do it since I use the washer 2-3 a week. If your sink is too small to drain the water(or possibly clogged) then you can optionally use shower/bathtub drain. Again, I’m sorry to hear that happened :(

[@xavierbreath2227]

I bought one on Craigslist for $100 bucks. Worked like a charm in my efficiency. Stored it in my closet under my hanging clothes. Had to order adapter on amazon.

[@megzimbeck]

Hi Julia, thanks so much for making this! Based on your video, I bought the same washing machine. 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.

[@rosemariekelly428]

Thank you very much for demonstrating your perfect portable black and decker washing machine. I was trying to pick out a portable washer but couldn't decide what brand to buy. Now I'm going to buy your brand. Thank you much again 🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️

[@JuliaCaban]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@joycesawyer-driscoll2019]

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 😉

[@Yellowbird-12]

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.

[@Spartan-ts5dy]

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

[@MsAOspina]

Hi Julia, thanks for your review. I'm going to give this washer a try :) can you please show a picture of the adapter you bought on amazon, not sure which one to buy. Thank you!

[@JuliaCaban]

Thank you for watching! I linked the adapters in the description - you have to buy a set of them, but that’s the only one that worked :)

Love that u used a spyderco knife to open box.... I use to work at spyderco and assembled the knife.

[@missykay1213]

Do u have the same exact washer??

[@savannamalerie6395]

I just got mine in the mail and this video is so helpful! Just wondering if you ever put the silver bottom plate on. It was the plastic piece that sat on top of the washer when it was packaged. Just curious if it is going to make a difference or not!

[@laurajones6543]

I have same model it broke after 8 months of use. Plus you can only do 1 or 2 towels and one or 2 jeans. I have the 2 cubic size dryer to. It still works great . the negative hard to clean lint. It gets outside of lint traps an sticks.

[@JuliaCaban]

Hey Laura, I’m sorry to hear that! I have my washer already two years and it works like new and I’m always filling it out to the top so I can wash 4 full size bath towels ;) there’s a warranty on this washer so if it brakes within the first year they will send you a brand new one. You should look into it! I’m still super happy with this washer and the lint remover on mine works pretty well - I try to empty it after a few loads of laundry:)

[@siminthesky]

The outer case looks much like my breadmaker haha

Oooh 😲 I love this one ❤️...I wonder if it’s something to consider for full time van/ truck life

[@Allsportstees]

GREAT video. thanks to you me and the wife just received our new washer. we are a bit confused about how the water works. when we set it on a wash mode, do we leave the faucet on or do we have to turn it off and on again for each cycle?

[@JuliaCaban]

Yes, you can leave the faucet on. Just make sure your hose is not leaking! :)

[@dianaz6713]

Thanks for the review Julia, this video + your update convinced me since I've been hesitating for months now.

[@JuliaCaban]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad that my review and the video helped you make up your mind. I know how it feels to be unsure for a while, and I'm happy I could provide the information you needed. Enjoy your decision, and thanks for your comment!

[@lisamorand9607]

You can return the items that did not fit.

[@JuliaCaban]

I did! :) amazon is great

[@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?

Can you do a spin only cycle? Where it does not add any water? Just spins the shirt out till it’s damp?

[@kellytortora6346]

Another frenchie that loves plastic lol so does mine. Of course he has toys.thanks for the tip about the adapter I couldn't find one either

[@bbydraak]

what kind of detergent pods do you use? my tide pods sometimes don't melt all the way (the pouch) and it makes a mess on some clothes... thanks for the detailed review!!

[@sux2suk]

Try dissolving them in warm water before adding them to the wash :-)

[@annedavis6090]

[@hhjhj393]

OKAY GUYS I bought the 0.9 black and decker model BPWM09W. I live in an apartment and none of the faucets are usable for the hose so I tried to manually fill it. It DOES work, but it's not perfect. The problem is that you have to watch it because it appears that the machine will just keep pumping for water. It doesn't seem to have like an error code or stopping mechanism. So after it drains and spins the clothes it will automatically start sucking for water and I waited to see if it would stop and it didn't seem like it would, it just kept pumping and pumping so I am pretty sure that pump would blow itself up in no time if left unattended. Also I noticed that it it "thinks" the water level is too low it will start trying to suck in water from the inlet which is also annoying and would burn up the pump. It never gives like an error code or buzzes. So you basically have to sit there and watch it.... This is what it looks like: 1.) load clothes 2.) put in detergent 3.) put in enough water, too little and it will keep pumping 4.) watch the laundry and wait for it to finish it's first drain cycle. 5.) when it starts pumping for more water press the pause button, open the lid, and add more water. 6.) now the machine can be left unattended to finish it's final rinse and drain cycle. The unit doesn't hold much, BUT for the size and cost I think it's worth it. The unit isn't too heavy, but I did buy an appliance dolly making the washer highly portable. It gets the clothes relatively dry with just the spin and drain cycle. It's annoying that I have to baby it, but it beats going to the laundry mat which I hate. I am currently experimenting with putting the damp clothes onto a drying rack and using a dehumidifier to dry the clothes, because mini dryers are expensive and use a lot of energy. I am hoping I can just get away with using a dehumidifier because it costs pennies to run and it's far more portable than a dryer unit.

What is the dryer that you have? I was just scanning to see what people do after they wash with this. Does the dryer match with the washer? And do you like how the clothes come out?

[@rinseroo511]

Try using a Rinseroo to fill your portable washing machine. You can connect it to your showerhead!

[@karinar.8259]

I'm so glad that you posted this video because I also had a hard time finding an adapter and the adapter that was provided didn't fit on any of the 3 available faucets in my apartment. Home Depot didn't have it and they had no idea how to help, either. They ended up referring me to a nearby plumbing supply store, which was able to find something by sheer luck since even they weren't sure they could help me. I'm still going to order the adapters you linked because the one I got is terrible, but at least it allowed me to do my first wash.

[@JuliaCaban]

I had the worst time finding the adapters I almost gave up on this washer 😂 those adapters from Amazon saved me so I hope they work for you as well!

[@boo07675]

Great video! Thank you! I am going to buy the same item but I have a few questions I hope you can answer for me please. Now that time has passed, do you still think the item was worth the expense? Are you still happy with your purchase? What did you use the Velcro strips for? I was also wondering if the locking casters were really necessary? Do you use fabric softener in this washer? Thank you very much! Your dog Tortelina is adorable. ♥️

[@jimmypaschall7369]

So you have to fill the water manually for each wash and rinse? Does it rinse out the detergent efficiency? And do you have to balance clothes in the spin cycle? Thanks, Julia!

[@JuliaCaban]

Hey Jimmy! It's an option, but I personally don't fill it manually - it's all automatic, I can turn the washer on and just come pick up laundry when it's done. I talked more about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHuqZodofterjaM

These washers don't cost $3.00 a year that's a lie... It uses alot of water , especially if you use it everyday...!
