PORTABLE MAGIC CHEF WASHER/DRYER COMBO | BEST PORTABLE WASHER/DRYER COMBO

PORTABLE MAGIC CHEF WASHER/DRYER COMBO | BEST PORTABLE WASHER/DRYER COMBO
Hello There!
Here we are again, another Portable Magic Chef unit, and this time we're reviewing their Portable washing machine washer & dryer combo! When we lived in an apartment, we truly enjoyed having portable units, and how accommodating they are to smaller living spaces. Portable washers and dryers truly are worth it, due to being able to wash clothes in the privacy of your own small living space, and having clothes just as clean as you would with a full size unit. We have since moved into a home, and no longer have the units, but let's just say it was strangely quite hard parting with them. It's safe to say that I, Really liked my units, and would recommend them to anyone. Portable washer and dryers are excellent to wash laundry for apartments, tiny homes, those who live in condos, college campus dorms, those live in RVs, and people who enjoy traveling, even for camping and glamping.
I reached out to Magic Chef, in hopes to find help, and after several months I stopped. However, we still were determined to help you all out, with some or hopefully all of your questions.

@@RachaelXO Hi Rachel. I just want to thank you for your very kind response to my thoughtless comment. You are correct, I clearly made an assumption from your stating you were not keeping the unit the first time I watched your video. Somehow I heard you say you were 'returning the unit'. But upon listening a second time, you've clearly stated, you are 'not keeping the unit'. I do apologize for my mistake. Thank you for clarifying so that anyone who may have read my comment, now also has clarity on the matter. And, if they too heard what i heard the first time, they may read this and be in the know. I do hope you will accept my sincerest of apologies. xo Ps, your little girls are beautiful and seem quite sweet.

[@donavoncash7739]

I have this same exact unit. Thank you for the upload, I went through trial and error and if your home the quickest possible way to wash and dry is Wash on "Quick Wash" 20:00 minutes then Dry on "Timed Dry" 01:28 1 hr 28 minutes for a Wash & Dry time total of 01:48 1hr 48 minutes. Tips, take clothes out asap, keep the load medium size, don't overstuff it, and hang your clothes. This is spin and steam drying only so clothes may seem damp but after hanging for just a 5 minutes they are ready. If your not home the "Auto Dry" is convenient but longer. Just put them in & walk away, but most the time the clothes are wrinkled so I suggest just washing under garments if your not going to be home. Hope this helps someone🤗

[@RachaelXO]

Always glad to help! Thank you for taking the time to extend some help to others. That'll be very helpful to others. If you think of anything else, or figure out new things down the road, please feel free to share.

You made it easy for my family to decide what unit to go with. My brother introduced us to the portable washer world that we didn't know existed. However he had to do so many steps with his unit, that it made me search for one that was more convenient and cost effective. Your videos were very helpful and well detailed and we truly appreciate it, thank you 😊.

You are so welcome, we're always happy to help! I have 3 other portable washer videos that you may want to check out if you have time and are still considering your options. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to help 😊

[@lukiejames]

Something to keep in mind is washer dryers use water to efficiently dry clothes. You are meant to leave the water hook up connected to them whilst they dry. This is why you hear the pump kick in to evacuate the water but was noisy because the water wasn't connected. It's how the dryer efficiently condenses the moisture out of the air to dry clothes.

[@RachaelXO]

Thank you for that. Yes, I went back to check, and at 17:50 you can see I still have everything attached and going, when starting the dryer. Good for everyone to know.

[@lukiejames]

@@RachaelXO Did you know some washer dryers use more water to dry then wash 🤣 it's crazy to think that. But if it's all you can fit in your space it's better then nothing!!

[@RachaelXO]

My wife and I have been looking for something exactly what your video shows! Thanks for your video. This little Magic Chef washer machine is perfect!!! We have a very small 1 bedroom Home, compact but with all the high tech appliances , equipment, and furniture, so we love this small front loader washer machine. It checks all the boxes for our place....cant ask for anything more than this perfect fitting unit, HOWEVER......OMG....when my wife told me how much this little unit was, I just about poo poo'd my pants! LOL> Are you kidding me Magic Chef?????? $1,400.oo bucks!!!!! WOW!!! The price is just absurd. It seems like everything that fits perfect in our place, and is miniature and high tech, seems to always tip the finance scale!! LOL We're gonna keep shopping. But thanks for the insight!!! Update: Ok, what I didn't know, upon further reading up on this unit, its a dryer as well, So this we may consider purchasing.

[@RachaelXO]

Hey Randy! Sorry it took so long to respond, our Family has been a bit under the weather and just getting better. Honestly, I agree with you as it is quite expensive. It is a 2 in 1, which is nice, but there's others out there that are less expensive. It is a nice feature that it has both wash and dry functions, but there's also really great portable dryers that a separate and less expensive. When my Husband and I learned about portable units and that such amazing contraptions exist lol, I did a lot of research and decided on a Magic Chef Washer and Dryer. In fact, I've done a video on them and others as well. I'll provide you the play list link so you and your wife can see other great options available to you guys. kzbin.info/aero/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk

I watched your first video of the portable washer, and I was convinced so I purchased the set. Now I’m looking to get a new washer to replace my old front loader and I just place the order for the Magic Chef washer dryer combo current model just a few extra option to choose from wash. Rachael if you were the sale rep for the band, you would be a great great ambassador for the brand! Excellent video, this is the way to review a product. Thank you very much for making this video.

[@hellyanig5979]

I used to have the washer from your first video which I loved watching. I sold it to someone who needed one. Since then I moved into a place with full size washer/dryer but the portable washer I had was great and I used it for a whole year. I loved your first video and this is great too. Most ppl don't know about these portable washers/dryers. The portable washers/dryers are definitely awesome to have if you don't want to go to a laundromat or use a public washer in an apartment. Best of luck on your videos... Btw I love this front load washer on this video. I think I'm obsessed with these portable washers lol ...

[@RachaelXO]

You're right, most people have no clue about these awesome units! My experience with ours, for the year we had it also, was the best! I really rave about these machines, and the convenience alone is a selling point.

[@kimberleful]

@@RachaelXO just got the .9 washer and dryer do you recommend getting protection plan?

[@MaryOKC]

Just as I was going to comment that’s it makes some noise you commented that it’s not. LOL!!! 😂 I have been waffling back and forth about getting one of these units .. my washer will do a quick load in 22 minutes then I’ll dry in 40-60 minutes …so it takes just as long to wash one load on the setting you chose as it does to was dishes in a dishwasher. LOL!!! 😂 you are making me rethink this type of unit and I appreciate that. Maybe you could have gone through all the wash cycles like you did the dry side…but 20/20 hindsight … I appreciate the video!

Thank you so much my friend, & yes I absolutely agree with you! Here's some others I've reviewed and really liked as well. I really like the Magic Chef & Helohome the most just for reference. The others are really good too, depending on what you're looking for. I also prefer a separate dryer. The Magic Chef dryer worked great! kzbin.info/aero/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk

[@r.1599]

That was a very nicely done video. I love your little assistants 😊. It's unfortunate that in the interests of attractive design, there's no arrow or dot on the dial to indicate what's selected. Also, instead of banding a piece of nylon stocking over the end of the hose, you can easily find a strainer for the drain to catch lint and such. I paid a dollar for a bathtub drain strainer, and it catches so much lint! Those times for washing and drying seem incredibly long. Wow! Thank you for doing the review.

[@RachaelXO]

Thank you, yes I have great little assistants 😊 We started off at first with a strainer, but small debris was still finding its way through, so we got creative and started to use the nylon. The Magic Chef set we had was my Favorite

[@eacalvert]

Yes distilled white vinegar is best for fabric softener!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aesop101]

Never knew that.

[@ferrariunicorn]

I sold appliances for yearssss just an fyi for extending any washers lifespan, when finished with your laundry, always put it on a drain and spin cycle - another bonus with that is it reduces washer smells! An fyi on not using dryer vents - the moisture in the home can cause damage, like causing paint to chip, wood to unnecessarily expand/shrink, and more.

[@Journeylivin]

14:35 you could also put one of those metal sink strainers in your sink to strain out the lint.

[@RachaelXO]

You most certainly could. We chose to hold it down though, due to the water pressure, that would have the hose going everywhere.

[@yliberal6355]

I use a stainless steel screened version just for my sink.

[@GabrielFerreira-qo9wv]

I have the same washer, it's branded Midea in Brazil, it is a great and cheap washer. I guess you should have unscrewed that big bolts behind the machine, they are only for transportation purpose and they lock the suspension of the washer. Also, you can't use liquid detergent in the second wash unless you use some sort of container for holding the detergent, otherwise it will get in the tub on first wash. I use the bottom of an ajax bottle, it works fine. Great video!

[@RachaelXO]

Yes, I intended to include that part in the video. As for the detergent it only needs to be put in once, in the beginning of wash, like a normal washer. I think that's what you were saying, and if so, yes that's what was done. Nice washer

[@patrickma99]

Do you think this could wash a full size comforter? Thank you for being so thorough!

[@RachaelXO]

You're welcome, thank you for the question. I'd personally stay away from anything bulky in the portable units. As it may be too big to wash properly, and work the machine harder, and over time wares on the machine. If it's super lightweight, maybe, otherwise I'd say no. When we had our portable units, I used them for everything but comforters. Sheets, lap blankets, towels, are all fine

[@davedebang-bang6168]

Yes you can, this size machine is the standard here in the uk and across Europe, as long as it fits in the drum you can wash anything, Never understood why you guys in the states insist on having such huge machines, unless you have a small army living in your house you really don’t need a machine that’s so big, And it’s a shame the majority of washing machines you guys have over there don’t have built in heaters to heat the water, I would never ever wash clothes in cold water or towels or bedding, exceptionally unhygienic , front loader machines in the uk and the rest of Europe do 3 rinses as a minimum, this still uses less water than your top loaders but rinses so much better because of the way a front loader works, front loaders wash better as well, in any washing machine I would only use powder, the gels, pods and liquids leave a film in the gap between the tub and drum

[@nanascott1342]

This is what I need. I didn't know it can wash and dry

[@RachaelXO]

Here's some other portable washers I really like as well kzbin.info/aero/PL8UWdvtDhNnClCYFaQENWHnaIv5q0mAPk

[@jacquelinewalker3340]

When you hooked it up and turned on the faucets do you have to turn on the hot as well as cold? Can you use just cold since you only have the cold line hooked up?

[@CH-we9fv]

So my question is, when it switches to drying is there any heat drying the clothes? Or is it just spin drying/air drying?? I have a panda portable fully automatic washing machine and want to get the magic chef portable dryer to go with it. I had the washer/spin dryer combo before and that was too much work plus I still had to hang my clothes to dry. So then I got a portable air dryer which looked like a closet where you just hang your clothes and zip up the bag and turn on the air, but that left my clothes looking like they were hung on a clothes line. The best dryer I had was the magic chef portable electric dryer. Because there's heat drying the clothes and they're tumble drying. So yeah does this machine dry with heat?

[@vectorcollector4893]

Sorry for the late reply. But yes, this unit does, in fact. Use heat to dry the clothes. It uses a condenser drying system which will take a bit longer, but if used correctly should provide good results.

[@harrygill7350]

At 12:50 I noticed you didn’t take off the “packing screws” in the back! You’re supposed to remove the 4 screws before using the machine!

[@RachaelXO]

You're so right. I did so once the machine started & I realized. I didn't know that's what they were in the beginning. It's been quite some time since making this video, but I don't remember it coming with a user manual, as I purchased this machine to help others & not for my personal use. Either way, yes You're right, they do need to be removed.

[@zxchienowhere]

[@jessicasaites4612]

Thank you for this. This machine is identical to the Danby we just bought, but the "idiot guide" was not helpful in the least bit. Our last combo was much more basic in the options.

[@vectorcollector4893]

Can you buy any chance do a video on the one you bought? I'm considering the same model.

[@jessicasaites4612]

I'll be honest, I don't really do videos. However, I will say, in my opinion there are better brands to look into if you can get your hands on them. Home Depot just recently put out an LG where I live. This machine isn't terrible if you have 8 hours to devote to a single load. Also, even though you can stuff a full/queen sized blanket in it, you have to be careful not to overdo the load. My daughter put 4 bath towel, 3 hand towels, and 3 wash clothes in yesterday for a "quick wash" cycle. That's a cycle that goes for 2 hours and 58 minutes (wash, rinse, spin, and dry), I have since then put that load back on dry for 4 hours...and now it's back on for 4 hours. I probably could have chose a shorter time, but I'm done playing with this load. If they aren't dry after this I'll find some place to hang them up. The only reason we got this Danby was because combos are hard to find around here and this was all we could find for our camper. I suppose if you're using it for a camper that all you do is use it for camping it would be great, but for everyday use for a family of 6 I would give our machine a 3/10 rating.

[@vectorcollector4893]

@@jessicasaites4612 Well, I'm just wondering. How do you have your water system? Set up for the washing machine? Do you run it on a sink? Or does it have dedicated hook ups?

[@jessicasaites4612]

You didn’t remove the shipping bolts 1:11 the 4 bolts in the back, And if you don’t remove them, you could damage your machine And it will vibrate very badly.

[@tmcdgreen]

Pluming Tape isn't a great long term solution - the washers are a better idea. I solved my issue by buying a small multipack from Home Depot and used one thick and one thin washer to solve the leaking solution.

[@RachaelXO]

Yes, both the tape and a washer or 2 work great.

Hello this is Marsha I have watched your video about something for delicates and I was wondering if delicates means hand wash gentle cycle knit cycle like sweaters maybe curtains if this do sanitize clothes is good idea with this whatever anything with this what the book tell u with instructions to learn about this any suggestions with it

[@ConfidentialMeerkat]

Late to the party here but I'm not gonna lie I'm rather surprised that you guys call this a portable unit! This is a full-size machine for us in the UK and Europe kinda shows the go-big or go-home style the USA seems to have! SIDE NOTE: YOU DID NOT REMOVE THE BLACK RUBBER TRANSIT BOLTS ON THE BACK! This will cause lots of vibrating and eventually damage the machine AND dont put anything over the end of the hose use a separate sive if you dont want lint in your drain the backpressure will cause the machine to error out and shut down as it didnt drain fast enough. That aside you may want to pin this and i will spend a moment replying to people who have asked. TLDR: These machines have no lint trap more info is below! Washer-dryers typically uses a hot air blower to evaporate water and then uses a spray of cold water to a metal condenser to remove the steam which is why combo owners most of the time see it drying more efficiently in the winter as the mains water is colder! This makes the machine generally self-cleaning other than a quick wipe around the door rubber with a damp cloth and running the empty load tub clean as with all washing machines (about once a month or when your machine tells you mine locks out at 40 washes Source: I own a BOSH one in my kitchen DO CHECK THE MANUAL FOR ALL INFO THOUGH!

[@trinitydicaprio173]

Question - do we keep the sink on for the entire hour that it’s running its cycle??

[@RachaelXO]

Yes, it works just like a full size. Therefore as it's going through the wash cycles it needs a water source to pull water from as needed. I have several videos on my channel regarding portable Washing Machines if you're interested 😊

[@andreedmond9854]

I have this washer/dryer in my apartment, do I need to remove any dryer lint from this unit?

[@testimonymikey]

As a man trying to use this I thought the numbers were supposed to tell me what time it was

[@RachaelXO]

The time is for how long it is for each cycle length

[@Nikua13]

Is this unit a truly ventless unit? Does it heat up you home or create higher humidity levels? I really appreciate your video. I am looking to get something like this for an apartment. God bless you and your family.

[@RachaelXO]

When we used the Magic Chef in our apartment, we had zero issues. As for this model, it is ventless as mentioned, and shouldn't cause any issues either. The person we sold it to was replacing theirs after several years they said, which they traveled with in a RV. God bless you as well. Check out my other washer videos to help you make your decision

Where is the serial number located on this machine?? Thanks for your help

[@zero1fifty8]

You're not getting the required amount of water when you're only running the Cold water feed to the machine especially when the unit is wanting to use the water feed from the Hot inlet to run the other wash cycles that require Hot or Warm water form the Hot feed. I guess that's kind of a good thing in that you're not using as much water but just wanted to point that out. I have an LG All in One unit that works great by the way

[@Aesop101]

Great video but one question how big does the kitchen sink need to be to be able to handle the water pressure coming out

[@RachaelXO]

Thank you Jay. Something even as small as a bathroom sink would be fine. As long as the hose is "anchored down" from the pressure of the water coming out, it should be fine in a smaller sink.

[@Aesop101]

Thank you so much for your immediate reply. I subbed. Keep up the great work.

For the dryer do I need an exhaust pipe to go out the window for any hot air coming out

@@Aesop101 you are so very welcome, and thank you too my friend! As for the dryer portion of it, there are the extra lint trap vents that are available. However, from what I've seen on like bus living videos, they don't use them from what I've seen. Also, the couple I sold this unit to after the review, lives in an RV & from what I understand didn't have one either.

That seems to be a long time to wash and dry a load of cloths and how much it would raise your ELECTRIC bill monthly to use..

[@davedebang-bang6168]

You can wash a full load of towels in these machines, these are standard size here in the uk and across the rest of Europe, you can wash duvets ( or what you call comforters ), big blankets etc etc they actually work better with a full load. Never understood why you guys in the states insist on such big machines, also I think it’s a shame most machines in the states don’t have built in heaters to heat the water, and front loaders across Europe and the uk do 3 rinses as a minimum and still use less water than top loaders, the way the drums work means it actually rinses better and washes better than top load machines, spin speed is normally higher on front loaders as well average spin in the uk is 1400rpm

[@amiry2589]

Front load do not wash better than a top load in any world. Also you need Water to wash clothes, the machines that used the most water are the ones getting this simple logic right!

[@RachaelXO]

It's honestly been a long time since I reviewed this washer, as you've mentioned. However, I remember someone in my comments saying that water does need to be left on, because it's a steam dry. I'm pretty positive that's what they said. If you get a chance you can look through my comments for that person's comment. When I used the washer for the few loads I did, I had the water on. Perhaps leave the water on until you find out as to whether you need to or not. Better safe than sorry is what I always feel. Another thing, look up the model number on Google & you can find the manual for any item that way. Let me know once you find out either way! 😊
