... No it's not . No one have time to go back and forth at college and to wait another hour to dry clothes and do small by small or everytime something is dirty that's a waste of water and time !

May I add something valuable that people don’t seem to talk about. This is a great way to prevent being exposed to ringworm, lice or fungus. If you live in an apartment setting with a shared coin opp that is a real risk. Same with going to laundry mats. Also if you have any type of skin issue, this can also prevent exposure to detergents and other substances that can cause irritation.

You have literally saved me hundreds of dollars, and I truly appreciate you for taking out a time to do this video. I live in an apartment, and it's $2 a load here as well. I like how you have a clothing line in your apartment as my complex does not allow you to hang your clothes on the railing outside on the balcony to dry clothes. My biggest takeaway is definitely that, but I'm definitely buying one of these washers Friday. I have two rules, don't ever lose money & in the second rule is don't forget the first one.

[@WhyNot-zr5kl]

I have a regular washer and dryer and I don't use the dryer except for towels. I wash my clothes and hang them to dry---saves loads on the electric bill. I used to have a washer/dryer like this when my kid was little and I was in an apt with no hook-ups. I used to wash the onsies & her blankets and hang dry those too--saved me $ and my sanity. Allowed me to wash clothes whenever I needed to and not have to drag out a kid to do it. It's all in the perspective of what one feels is valuable to them, for me it was time & $, I could do wash at night or when she was catching a nap. These little gems are well worth using.

[@sewitseams5632]

It’s powerful and both sides can operate at the same time. It does take a little more extra effort but I only use it for half my laundry needs such as socks, underwear, T-shirt’s, leggings and sheets. The motor is so strong that it did damage some of my towels, but I believe I may have over stuffed it! I love this powerful machine and it’s convenient for apartment dwellers. I was paying $5/load to wash and dry at my laundry facility and had to worry about theft all the time. Now I never stress about my expensive yoga pants again! It’s worth the money and extra effort to launder this way, may not be great for a family due to the small load capacity. It’s great for a couple or singles, decent size to fit into a small closet for storage. I recommend getting rubber pads to help with the spin cycle vibration so the machine doesn’t move everywhere.

I got one of these ( different brand I'm sure) many years ago when I lived in a micro studio apt in NYC and absolutely love it! The building had a laundry room but washers were $4. per small load and there were no dryers. Most people sent their laundry out to be done and washed by delicates by hand which is a very expensive way to go! I saved tons of $$ by having one of these. It was small enough I stored it under my kitchen sink. There are full size ones available for those who don't have washer/dryer hookups and need to do larger loads. It made the rounds through the family aftert I moved & didn't need it for my primary source of doing laundry. My niece used it while she was in college. When my son was a baby I used it to wash diapers. ( Yeah, I used cloth ones) I had it at the family cabin for a while then brought it back home. I've had to replace it since then. These aren't made to last 20+ years but mine came close! I use mine now to wash delicates and small loads of clothes. I love it as much as I did my first one. I got a water hose that slips on to my kitchen faucet which made it even easier to use. Also, if you have hard water use vinegar in your rinse water. Not only is it an amazing fabric softener and keep your clothes from wrinkling so badly and prevents static electricity.. it also dissolved any gunk build up. Good for your clothes and cleans your machine at the same time! She made a good point about using just a little laundry soap. Seriously.. use just a LITTLE! Hydrogen peroxide to keep whites bright and remove stains.. a woman after my own heart. I use it also. It's fantastic!

[@bradfordbyron]

I actually have one of these, and an Avanti compact dryer. I personally think it's great. I honestly don't feel as though it's a lot of work, especially when compared to loading clothes for the laundromat, paying a lot of $$$$, having to sit there and wait for a dryer, loading the clothes back to the car, into the house. the spin dryer part works well enough that I usually don't even have to use a heat setting on the dryer unless I am in a serious hurry

I have the Bismi, which is similar. I live in an apartment that doesn't have washers in the units and the community room is unlocked and the machines don't work well. I paid $50 on FB Marketplace and bought a couple of clothes lines and a box fan. I live in the desert so my stuff dries super quick. I still have to go to the laundry to wash blankets, towels and some knits. It was just exhausting to load the car, unload it again at the laundry, wash it, fold it, re-load the car, then unload again at home. And then you have to put it all away. It's so nice to be able to stay home and do washing. And, not using the dryer makes your clothes last longer.

[@tlchp1987]

I have something similar. I use it in my apartment that doesn’t have a washer or dryer hookup. I have a small stand that I sit the unit on and it’s right besides my bathtub. I let it drain into the tub, after using the spin dryer to get the excess water out of the clothes. I have a small portable dryer unit, which uses a regular standard plug, that plugs right into a wall outlet. The good thing is it doesn’t need anything extra, you just plug it in and turn it on to dry. It’s so convenient and I’m glad I have it. I hate going to the laundry mat because I’m a pretty busy person and don’t have much time nor am I home a lot. It saves me so much time and money. I can easily wash and dry and keep doing all the other things I have to get done, done. Also saves me tons of money and doesn’t use all that much energy on my light bill which is a plus of course

Wow! I never knew these existed! I'm quite literally impressed. Back at my old home, my washer and dryer broke down and we couldn't afford to replace them. We had to keep going to the laundromat, which I *HATED* with a passion. I have severe spinal injuries and having to do wash at one of those godforsaken places caused a lot more pain than necessary. When at home doing laundry you can "set it & forget it". Not there. Ugh. Even though using one of these little washer/dryers looks to be a but tedious, its still much better than the laundromat. ✊ Also, say your washing machine dies but you still have your dryer, this is still a great item for that. I have 4 cats and a dog and that equals a lot of fur. I definitely need a dryer to help remove all. But again with one of these, I would just need a lot of lint rollers 😂

[@nyisforsuckers4192]

This would be great. I actually have a need for doing small loads of laundry so this doesn't look like "so much work". I only do laundry once a month and it costs me about 10$ and is really annoying.

[@pinkstinkebell]

Thats doing way to much...and for a small load of laundry.

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

I think it depends on your situation. I live in a super expensive city and to do one load of wash and one load of dry cost me almost $6. So it really helps me to be able to just wash my skirts and tops and washcloths and towels when I need to. It saves me probably $100 a month. But I do do my daughters jeans and our sheets and comforters in the paid washing.

I have this one. The washing side can hold 5.5 lbs and the spinning side 4.4 lbs. Nice little machine. Great video.

[@humanitarianharjot402]

What the heck. I didn't know this existed in Canada?? I know we have them in India. Damn, I learnt something new this #sunday 🌏.

[@1957jmhiser1]

I love my machine. Remember to grease the spinning parts of the motor occasionally. Take off the back cover. I've had mine 8 years

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

Thanks for the tip!

I live out in the country and the laundry room is down stairs....I am disabled and can't use the stairs....this works great.....it's just me and I use every day or so.....washes everything....saves tons of money......very minimal cost....I like being frugal.......no matter what your situation it is better than some huge machine you really don't need.....

[@RoseGoldQueen]

When I seen it on Instagram I looked like a Barbie & ken toy and I thought a bigger one would be better . NOW seeing your video Ima wondering if me & my husband should invest in a "portable washer"

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

If it is just the two of you and you have to pay a laundromat , like I do, It might be a good idea. They are only about $70 and I saved that amount within 2 mths. of buying it from not paying for a wash/dry....and that was10 months ago.You still have to was comforters or large loads in a bigger machine

[@gladlock]

Quinn ' it doesn’t load water or drain automatically but I swear I get so excited to do laundry with this little thing. I sit on the toilet and watch it spin and lather up since it’s see-through, and when the timer goes up I do a little squeal. I look forward to doing laundry and air drying vs using dryer gives my green thumb happiness

[@imsunshine20]

It's called semi-automatic/manual washing machine, where it has separate tub for washing/rinsing and spin function. In Asia, this is very common until now, but not as popular as in the 90's, especially now people prefer the automatic one (one tub only).

[@flymartian33]

hell yeah definitely need one

[@charmleneboni]

I need this because the laundry room in my apartment building was closed due to Covid. The only thing is I can't wash bed sheets in it.

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

hahaha!

[@michellemarie1197]

Except the drying part on that doesnt really dry it just gets rid of excess moisture because its just a spin dryer, you can get a portable compact dryer from the company haire i think, but it comes with a tube and you would have to vent it through a window

[@ageranger1541]

So does a dryer get rid of excess moisture? Lol

[@rossclark9155]

No, this is not a spinner. It's called an extractor. It runs at such high RPMs that your clothes will feel half dried when you take it out. To me this is the very best part of these machines. If I had a washer and a dryer hooked up in my house, I would still have this for the extractor.

[@lydiatwina1227]

I put mines in the tub. Use the shower head. And yes it helps save in bills. Washes awesome. And u can put more soap, depending on how much clothes and water.. More than that. Luv my machine. I got 5 people to buy one.

[@mstamalaj]

Wtf this is awesome!

[@victoriadopeluvmickens8408]

I’ve had mine for over 5years not the same brand but they are awesome I have a full size washer and still use mine for for small loads and my dog clothes

[@takemetomarz]

For the first time I’m watching a “portable” washing machine 😂

[@vegassummer4116]

I still watch these videos after buying my portable washing machine 2 years ago

[@Zero_energy48]

That's not bad if you own a lot of underwear

[@rossclark9155]

Jeans, sheets, shoes, but big items still need big machines for comforters, etc.

[@pumas2288]

I live in rental and so lazy to go downstairs to wash some t-shirts and other small items .this machine is greate.

[@ladyventus]

I'm not sure how big this convenient machine is but it looks a bit too small for bed sheets, towels and blankets. It might fit regular smaller things like a couple shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, socks and underwears. I'd honestly like to buy this when I start living on my own though.

[@AS-lb3bv]

I do our quern sized sheets in here. And wash two towels and all the wash clothes from four people at once. You'd be surprised. You still need to wash comforters at the mat tho

[@gladlock]

Fits 5 xl man’s shirts or one extra large fluffy bath towel or one king size sheet - if that helps. I have a nice wide bathroom counter on my apt so i put it there to make it drain easier, then store it in the bathtub when not in use ( we dont use that shower? It could fit fine in a closet but make sure you air it out and leave the covers open so it doesnt smell

[@weinthisbich5027]

I’m gonna use this when I travel In my van glad I found this 🤗

[@havingteawiththedevil]

Would i be able to use those tide laundry pods? Just 1 per load since it’s small, instead of 2 like normal.

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

hmm...i would probably use powder or liquid or break open the pod. My machine washes for 15 min.. And that is enough for our clothes. But I soak my whites and towels before hand.

[@havingteawiththedevil]

The Practical Magic of Frugal Living thank you ☺️☺️

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

I use one pod in mine, assuming your wash load is large enough. It's easy to overuse liquid, but the pods are measured and they work well for me.

[@nicnothingnice]

Those pods need super hot water and strong agitation to dissolve... That plastic stuff will stick to your clothes. When I was in a pinch, I dissolved the pod in a cup first to wash clothes in the sink/tub. Maybe just add the water first and use your hands to swish it around to dissolve the pod? Then add clothes? 🤔

[@gracewindsor3754]

I have this in my RV...only in blue. I love it!

SO “PRACTICAL”

[@miaaneesa9799]

Ok so I've been very independent since I was 5, I wash my own hair, I fold my clothes, I wash dishes, I cook, BUT I don't know how to wash clothes. I think this little machine would be cool to start learning how to wash clothes

[@Lacy72]

There’s no way that’s practical with a family of 4?!

[@Karmakaze9]

lacy elizabeth it’s more meant for college students or people living on their own in places that don’t have washing and drying machines.

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

Yes. IT has it's limits. But it helps the budget for my and my daughter. It is just us two.

[@ee214verilogtutorial2]

Well if each of family members has one, would be quite efficient, plus preparing kids for independent living

[@kickandblock]

Альберт Липаев you’d be spending close to $400 to buy 4. You’re better off just buying a used washing machine

[@theresa9316]

I have a family of 3 and I can assure we're about to do this as we live in a camper and I receive a zeny mini portable washing machine Wednesday. my washer is a little bit larger maybe but yes it's doable! as long as you don't change clothes multiple times per day.

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

Hi there, this machine will handle a 9 lb load . It will probably be able to do half of your laundry. I will not be able to handle sheets, blankets and bath towls. you will still need to do those heavy duty items in the laundromat

[@SmolBean98]

@@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017 sheets, comforters , and other, I can handle with when it comes to doing much larger loads. But small loads for bras, panties, maybe a few shirts I hope to use this for. Saves me money? I HOPE. Lol thanks for your reply. 💕 I can't wan until I buy one!

This just seems like way too much work. Can buy a VENTLESS washer and dryer all in one...worth the extra money

[@ChloeBaileysRightBootyCheek]

Mj Sisson what’s that?

[@Diamond52894]

I heard that ventless w&d have many clogs that render them unusable after a year. Since there is no vent it cannot capture lint, and it destroys the w&d

[@MichiganFresh]

@@Diamond52894 ive gone through 2 in the last 3 years. Both had lint clog the fan and had wires burn from touching the heating element on the second one as well. They washed (and dried when it worked) great but the dryer didn't last long at all.

[@Diamond52894]

michigan loner I’m sorry that happened to you! that’s unfortunate! Corporations are so greedy they should better address the purpose of ventless-those who camp in 2 week stints

[@back2the80s]

some live in small apartments, landlord doesn't allow traditional washer and dryer or no hookups

[@rossclark9155]

The "spinner" is called an extractor. It is the best feature. Cuts drying time by 2/3. Professional laundries use industrial extractors.

[@TopFurret]

How is the longevity of this machine? I've been considering buying it but debating whether or not I should splurge on something more durable

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

I don't know. I have owned it for a year and it still works.

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

For $68 it pays for itself right away when you don't spend your weekends at the laundry! For that price you could get a new one every year and it would still be a deal, IMO.

[@AS-lb3bv]

I bought mine used. And it still works like a dream. My sister has had hers for half a year. They seem to last for ever my neighbor had one for years

[@71kaye]

used as directed, they are just as durable as a large machine. I have a similar one for 3 years now. I mind the weight limit to avoid taxing the few moving parts. I plan my last wash to be one with hot water with a light touch of bleach to keep the tub squeaky clean. I also leave the lids open to help dry out, also tipping the machine each way to ensure as much drainage as possible.

[@onegrlindawrld6297]

I've had mine 3 years I love it & wash everything but my blankets & rugs in it.

Wait so you poured your own water in and just let it drain in the sink?

[@thepracticalmagicoffrugall3017]

Yes. I pour in buckets of water. But there is an inlet for running water into it.

[@ChristineSpringerElaine]

My inlet hose kept popping off so I use a gallon pitcher from the kitchen faucet.

[@rossclark9155]

@@ChristineSpringerElaine You'll have to be brave to do this, but if you put super glue around the edge of the outter wall of the little water inlet on the machine, and you put baking soda on the inside of the hose (pat it on) and you quickly connect the two, 1-2-3! You have one shot and they will be fused. Try it on something else to see what I mean.

I have the large blue/white one by Della. My clothes do not dry in one hour but it's not bad. My towels come out crispy but it is a good idea to go to the laundry mat less often if I want some of my favorite clothes in between going there.
