@@jenniferdean901 the bag serves a closed space where the laundry can hit against each other while being whipped around in the machine without tangling into a knot. Fabric on fabric going two different directions knocking against each other is what actually cleans your clothes. If you don’t use a bag your laundry will only tangle up and then swirl around the machine in a huge knot and nothing is actually being cleaned bc NO AGITATION IS HAPPENING. Fabric is not hitting against each other at that point it’s just tightly wrapped around each other. I’m not sure why you are being argumentative with me but hey I’m game!

Laundry bags are awesome for smaller things with strings or thin shoulder straps. I have a few sun dresses the ties on the shoulders. Without the bags, they get all knotted up. They still come out clean with the bags. Side note: don't over fill the bags. I made that mistake and the clothes can't agitate against each other INSIDE the bag to clean and they came out still dirty. Less is more.

I set my Kuppet in my bathtub, and use the shower hose (after removing the shower head) and attach the washer-filliing hose to the shower hose. I am not worried about the clothes getting too twisted in knots. I wash, separate and then spin them, then drain and refill washer to RINSE, then spin them agai again, and RINSE again. Your tip about clothes bags are great for corraling socks, bras, undies. I must buy some. My wash side stopped draining, so what led me HERE was looking up videos on how to fix that problem. I can't stand using our apartment floor's laundry room, except maybe for the occasional use of a dryer. I got my washer/spinner (Kuppet) in August 2020 and it has paid for itself, compared to $5.55/6.00 per load to wash n dry using the laundry room. Thanks for your insights and helpful tips!!

Thanks for the comment!!! I have a pump on my machine so I do not have to place it higher than the drain. I’ve seen people put their machines on two large buckets 🪣 beside their tub and it will drain naturally if you do not have a pump. I used to rinse while spinning using a funnel in my spinner water inlet and my shower head, BUT that wore out my spinner pretty bad and it sounded loud and terrible. I also wanted to save water. I have gone back to the wash, then drain, refill again with plain water to rinse for 9 mins, then spin. I leave my laundry in the bags the entire wash n rinse cycle until I am ready to spin, then I take the laundry out of the bags and place it in the spinner. It’s so annoying that the spinner can’t handle rinsing while spinning! I feel like that’s a design flaw. The spinner water inlet is a joke and too small to thoroughly rinse the clothes while spinning, that will take forever...I’ve tried for the full 5 mins and soap was still coming out.

It weighs about 45/50 pounds. But it's easy to lift up and over the edge of the tub. I always do a "rinse out the washer side" and snap out the plastic filter to rinse it off too. It's never gotten a bad smell from either the wash or spin side. I store it next to the tub, with both wash and spin LIDS OPEN so any small amounts of water left inside, under the 2 tubs, can evaporate.

Thanks for your comment! Update! I no longer “rinse while spinning!” My spinner started sounding terrible 😞 like it’s going to break so I no longer pour water into my spinner water inlet while it’s spinning. The inlet is way to small anyways to really properly rinse the clothes out, it will take forever.
