THE BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT ON AMAZON | MY PORTABLE WASHING MACHINE UPDATE AFTER THREE YEARS!

[@PaulaCodo]

Hey guys,Today I'm sharing the best thing I ever bought from Amazon my portable washer! you can shop the washer here amzn.to/3OHi2WQ

[@Sunny-tc3ul]

You’re suppose to push the disk all the down not just place it on the clothes. The disk keeps the clothes from spilling in between the machine. I learned my lesson. I’ve had mines for 3 years now and it’s still running smoothly.

[@kdbee6086]

Recovering from a few health setbacks that have made running back and forth from my basement tough. Have really been considering getting one of these to do small daily loads upstairs.

[@CUZB87]

Hi, Not sure if you know this by now but the white plastic little thing that goes inside the spinner, you are supposed to use that no matter what it helps prevents your clothes from spilling over on the sides or getting caught in the machine And also to balance out the load that you have in the spinner

[@timtom1569]

hi love your vid! was there a larger 30lbs capacity avail as well? thx

[@kdbee6086]

@@PaulaCodo Update from my last comment. I purchased one of these a few weeks ago. I use it quite regularly and love it. I can do a couple of quick loads as needed right in my bathroom. No basement stairs! Thank you for your review of this little washer.

[@southtexan1761]

I live by myself and I don't require such a huge machine anymore.. I have one of these portables. I just love it.. I have mine in the bathroom where I can easily put it in the tub and remove the shower head to fill it up and drain it there..great video..

[@PaulaCodo]

That is wonderful to hear thank you for sharing your experience this will help other people find a solution💙

[@bluesky7838]

I use mine in my bathtub. I use my handheld shower to fill, and draining is a breeze. In addition, I'm don't want a lot of lint going down my drain, so I tie a nylon knee-high stocking on to the end of the drain pipe. Works great.

[@carolmestas2073]

It was because of you, I bought one and I love it! I just wonder how long have you had yours!

[@PaulaCodo]

Wow, that’s wonderful to hear. I’m glad you’re happy with your washer. It’s definitely made a big difference in my life. I’ve had my portable washer for a little over two years now and I absolutely love it.💕

[@SymetricRaven]

This is all we have back home. The first time I used a proper washing machine was when I came to the United States.when I saw a heated dryer in action I was in awe.

[@ChuckConnor-yh6bh]

I just want to thank you I've been looking for a small machine for a while but wasn't quite sure which one to buy with your help thank you very much and God bless

[@PaulaCodo]

Yeah, there’s lots of portable washers out there and it does get a little confusing to know which one to purchase, but I’m really happy you found my video and I’m glad that it has helped you💕

[@LilithsCosmicLounge]

@@PaulaCodoDoes it make a lot of noise? I live in an apartment complex. Don’t want to bother my neighbors. Thank you so much for your review!!

[@desktopkitty823]

I strongly recommend snapping in the plastic disk. My daughter decided to wash her own laundry and skipped using the disk. We spent 3 hours trying to get her socks and underwear out from between the spin basket and the machine tub. We had to find a wire coat hanger, straighten it out, leaving a hooked end and boy what a dickens it was to get the little clothing pieces out! She learned the hard way it was better to take the extra 2 seconds and snap that disk in the spinner.

[@PaulaCodo]

lol your right it does make a big difference thank you🌸

[@charleearianeth5094]

Thank you so much for this video it was awesome, I was looking for a small washing machine that can be quiet and practical for my small apartment and I just received it!!!! Can't wait to start washing 🎉

[@PaulaCodo]

You are so welcome!🌸

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

This is indeed 1 of the best things Ive bought on Amazon only for $80 total. Most apartments do not come with a washing machine nor shower rod/curtains so Amazon does wonders for us. I use a bucket to pour the water in and just have the washing machine sit in my bathtub for easy drainage. After the clothes are done dry spinning about 2 times then I put them on a portable hanging rack using a portable heater to dry them quicker.

[@PaulaCodo]

That’s great to hear thank you 💕

Hi Paula, I have question. Can I use hot water for this machine?

[@PaulaCodo]

No you cant it recommends cold water... i think you could get away with warm water but i would not use hot

[@TMPAugusta]

I own one of these machines and use it in the shower/tub of my RV, where I live full-time. I keep the switch on "Drain" while using the spin basket. It extracts quite a bit of water. I'd be worried about extracted water potentially backwashing into the spin basket when spinning ceases. Has that ever been an issue for you?

[@PaulaCodo]

Hi, no I have never had any problems with this washer it’s a great product✨

[@bluesky7838]

That's never been an issue for me (I've had one since the pandemic), and you really don't have to put it on Drain. The Drain setting is for the wash tub.

[@mikeh8416]

All the "drain" switch does is open the WASH TUB VALVE (and start the drain pump if you have one) so *IT* can drain. You don't need to use it when spinning (the spinner will start the drain pump). You can actually be filling up for the next load OR WASHING while the spinner is on, just leave the selector in "normal" mode. If you're getting backwash to EITHER tub then your valve is bad (mine just started doing that and I'm buying a new one).

[@boston1377]

Question does the water ever drain completely, because I have some excess water in the tube but it won’t fully drain out . Any ideas

[@bluesky7838]

@@boston1377 I have found that to get rid of the last of the water, I have to elevate the machine and let the hose dangle down. Since I use it in my tub, I perch it on the side of the tub for a moment. I also tilt the machine a little toward the pipe.

[@tanyatopasna9336]

How do u hook up the hose

[@PaulaCodo]

In the updated video, I do show how to attach the hose to your tap🌸

[@Faithful_Watchman]

PaulaCodo: I'm just wondering, if the grid went down, can you fill up the washer by pouring water into it, and then hook it up with a generator, and then allow it to continue its cycle?

[@PaulaCodo]

I don’t see why not…as long as you have water and you have power the washing machine will work🌸

[@Faithful_Watchman]

@@PaulaCodo: Great, thank you!

[@bluesky7838]

@@Faithful_Watchman I use my handheld shower to fill it. You can fill it manually with no problem. It doesn't heat the water, so I imagine it uses very little electricity. I do think it uses more water than a newer-model HE machine, though.

[@alexandraweston6816]

Without an agitation wand like a normal top loading washer, do you find that the washer thoroughly breaks up dirt and stains?

[@PaulaCodo]

That is a really good question. I’m a big fan of agitators as well but yes, I do find this little machine. does a great job getting my clothes clean I do have to pre-treat some of my clothes but so far I’ve had no issues.🌸

[@bluesky7838]

@@alexandraweston6816 Yes, I find my laundry comes out as clean as it does when I use the front-loader machines in my building. I usually give the wash some soaking time between agitations, which probably helps. In fact, one of the plusses of this kind of washer is that it's nice to be able to let things soak for a while in something like Oxy-Clean, even overnight if necessary. Also, I treat stains with a variety of stain removers, depending on type of stain (OK, I'm a little obsessed with getting stains out). By the way, I've learned through experience and research that the plastic tub can be rough on clothes and towels, etc , so I put all my wash into mesh bags (not just delicates).

[@chrisrosales8384]

One serious question does your washer spark when you’re using the washer. Because mine does. Right under the timer. I just noticed. That wen I had my lights off

[@PaulaCodo]

No, I have never experienced any thing negative with this machine. I’m not sure why it would be sparking contact the manufacturer you don’t want Sparks that’s for sure!

[@mikeh8416]

Relays can spark when the contacts hit. Not a serious issue (unless you're in an explosive environment).

[@bluesky7838]

@@chrisrosales8384 I would not use anything that sparks.

[@jcc6637]

i have a small dog and want to buy to machine to wash his bed and plush toys. do you think it will work with those items?

[@PaulaCodo]

I’m not sure, it depends how large the bed is, so this machine, one side washes the other side spins. The spin side is a lot smaller than the wash side.🌸

[@Lynn-l4o]

Blessings 👑❤️ is it heavy to move around?

[@PaulaCodo]

No, the machine is actually pretty light when it doesn’t have water in it.. when it does have water, you definitely cannot move it unless you have it sitting on a dolly✨

[@mikeh8416]

I'm in my 60's with BAD back problems. Moving it out of the way when it's not being used (empty) is no problem. Even if I had one without a drain pump, lifting it into the tub isn't a problem.

[@tmoney6969]

Hi! Does anyone know if it can handle small chair pillows or regular sized pillows?

[@PaulaCodo]

That I’m not sure 🤔

[@mikeh8416]

Depends on what size you get. the 26lb version will handle ONE regular pillow at a time, but you'll need to DRIP DRY it. You put it in the spinner and your neighbor is going to wonder where the washing machine on their porch came from! 🙂

[@briannaaitken7675]

How many clothing items can fit in each side?

[@PaulaCodo]

I wear a size large so for tops depending on their thickness five or six… pants I would say 2 but it depends on the size and thickness. You definitely don’t want to overload.🌸

[@mikeh8416]

You're supposed to snap that disk INTO the spinner on top of your clothes, not just lay it on top. The purpose is to keep anything from riding up and out of the top of the spinner..

[@bluesky7838]

That's right. I think it prevents your laundry from riding up along the aide and getting caught between the spinning tub and the wall of the machine.

[@MarianneM-ow1bs]

I just bought a used one. I keep it on the floor in the bathroom. It doesn't seem to drain when I put the hose over the tub? Your empties into the bucket. Don't get what the difference is.

[@PaulaCodo]

Because there is no pump to push the water out the hose needs to be flat or lift the machine up gravity will help drain!🌸

[@mikeh8416]

Put it IN your tub, and let the drain hose lay on the tub floor. The ones without pumps won't drain past the highest point on the drain hose.

[@MrPrecedanewman]

When you spin the washer has to also drain to get all the water out...

[@PaulaCodo]

I sometime run water throught the spin side to remove and soap still on my clothing

[@galimirnund6543]

They just raised the cost of the washer and dryer here AGAIN!. So, I'm checking these out. This country is just going to..............(place curse word here).

[@PaulaCodo]

Yes, I completely understand your feeling I hope this washer helps you💕

[@mikeh8416]

These cost LESS than a service call on a regular washer. If you're single (or a couple) don't hesitate. As Tony the Tiger would say "They're GREAT!!"

[@Tiaxxxxxooooo]

I want to get this to wash my dogs items like his little clothes etc in

[@PaulaCodo]

That’s a great idea..✨

[@kittycato2023]

Fir the sink you just unscrew the bottim of sink thing off. Buy a 7.00 hose adapter to put on sink. Than buy a better quality hose. I bought a stainless steel one from h. Depot. I actually prefer to fill it with shower head in the shower. I put washer in shiwer. These are known to link. NOte...what u failed to do..ince you spin..that only spin out durty water. You need to put in secind wash to wash out durty water than spin again. If you was and spin than hang you still have dirty water in clothes and you will smell.

[@LilithsCosmicLounge]

So you have to clean it out after each load?

[@evelynmiranda1133]

What is the name of the washer?

The link is in my Amazon storefront🌸

[@mikeh8416]

ALL the ones that look like this are made by Giantex/Costway. Other brands will sell them with some cosmetic differences, but they're the same washer.

[@bluesky7838]

@@mikeh8416 Agree that they're all the same -- one difference is that some have a filter and some don't.

[@mikeh8416]

@@bluesky7838 In the shopping I did for mine I didn't find any that didn't have a lint filter, (however with the 2 I've bought) they didn't come with the insert that goes in the filter section. My 30lb I JUST got was SIMILAR to a Costway, but the internal design was different (and far less quality), so it's going back. Didn't want to drain, and the spinner was making LOUD grinding noises, and IT LEAKED. Whoever put it together was in a hurry, because parts that should have been MOUNTED were just laying inside. I'm replacing it with another Costway, I had pretty good luck with that one!!

Isn’t it cheaper and better to use a proper washing machine at least you don’t have to stand over it

[@PaulaCodo]

You don’t necessarily have to stand over it. I’m only doing this just to demonstrate the machine. There is a little more work involved in this machine, but it does give some people an option that can’t afford a regular size washer, or those who are not allowed to have a washer because they’re renting🌸

[@bluesky7838]

Some of us apartment dwellers don't have the option for a "real" washing machine in our homes, and this is the next best thing. Speaking for myself, this has plusses and minuses: I'm very particular about how I do my laundry, and am a tad obsessed with stain removal and keeping my clothes for a long time. This machine gives me a lot of flexibility -- I can let things soak for a very long time, and control how long I want the wash cycle to go on. The plastic tub is rough on fabric, so I put everything (including sheets and towels) into mesh bags. When I first got the machine, I noticed that it was kind of eating through my towels. The mesh bags solve that problem, but it does not add to the fun. It's true that that the manual aspect has the downside that you have to drain and refill to do the rinse cycles. Also, the rinses are much more effective if you spin the items between cycles. So yes, that part is a time consuming drag, especially if you use it for sheets and towels (I usually do those in the laundry room in my building's basement). All in all, though, I'm very glad I have it, and use it a lot.

[@mikeh8416]

The spinners on these a FAR SUPERIOR to a spinner on a regular washer. When they come out, they're pretty nearly DRY. These spin at about FOUR TIMES the speed of a regular washer, and when done a couple hours hanging on the shower rod and they're ready to wear. Why don't you call out the companies that make full size washers on this?
