I have the exact same machine and I do truly ❤ it!! Like she said it does come out of the spinner with cloths seriously close to completely dry!! It is a powerful machine. I have a full size w/d outside but I think this little one works better than my big one surprisingly!! So 10🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟⭐️ for this machine!!

[@careyconley4690]

TIP: Leave the water in the wash side until you're done spinning. The weight of the water will keep the machine from moving/bouncing around while spinning.

[@raerae6043]

So glad I came here before fully starting mine! Just came in the mail, super excited tho!!

[@kathrynshelley3806]

O my goodness! I had one of these machines when my kids were little- 54 yrs ago! I could even do one double bed sheet at a time. I washed jeans and diapers, too. Saved lots of quarters. I usually hung clothes up on hangers and a large clothes rack and on the patio to dry. Loved that little washer!

[@Pattio47]

I had one of those back in the late 60’s. I loved it. It was great for the two of us. Mine had a hose that drained into the sink. I washed my husband’s work clothes (he was a mechanic with clothes covered in grease and oil). They got fairly clean. Not sure why the manufacturer would advise against it unless they realized it wouldn’t get the clothes super clean.

[@SGCook50]

I have this machine and absolutely love it. I wash it then drain it, fill it back up with clean water to rinse them, the second time I fill it I add fabric softener then after I run it again and drain it I then put it in the spin part. I live in a apt and it only has 1 washer and dryer for 6 apartments. Somebody is always using it. It's well worth the money!!!

That's what I was wondering whether you can do another wash except use it to rinse. I have to have Downey!

Omg.. I cannot express how great full I am for this video.

I’m physically disabled and climbing stairs carrying laundry is impossible. Carting laundry too the laundry mat locally isn’t possible either and it’s outrageously expensive!! You’ve given me hope where I had no hope left. And .. thank you for actually demonstrating this appliance. I’ve more faith in the washing appliance being a stand up product before making a purchase. Thank you x 100 !! From Michigan USA 🇺🇸 ! You’ve a new subscriber also 😁

[@milesbautista3583]

Hi! Just saw your video and I thought you were going to show a new appliance but here in the Philippines we have been using that kind of a machine for the past 30 some years! Here we have house help and that is the machine they use to do the laundry. I made the mistake of buying a Maytag washing machine which is 12 times more expensive then that machine. I bought it to make the helpers work lighter by not having to transfer the clothing from washer to spinner only to find - that this much more expensive machine breaks down so much faster and then spare parts plus repair costs soooo much! Here in the PI a machine like the one you demonstrated would cost 4K pesos while a fully automatic costs easily 50k. But, these 50k machines are a real dud ! Super lousy ! The machine you demonstrated is so much more durable than the fully automatic ones we have here - US brands but assembled in China ! Lousy as hell! No kidding!

[@jarmom4033]

Sha T ... read my comments, 1 of them was supposed to be in reply for you 😊

[@sjordan7085]

Even the hand cranked machines work great for 5lb loads if you wash little and often, around $35.00 I believe. Or, one could use a couple of 5gal buckets and a plunger, if that is something you could manage physically. Wash in one bucket and rinse in the other. I have also seen RVers take a plastic tub, add detergent, water and clothing, put the lit on, and drive around, the motion agitates the clothing. A dehumidifier in the bathroom will dry clothes quickly if you are not able to hang washing outside or by a fire, or on an oil filled radiator. Little radiators are great for finishing off line/frame dried washing if it rains. I like using drying frames, because they are easy to just bring inside.

[@kathrynhurn6307]

[@yellowbird5411]

My tenant had one of these. She kept it in the shower, as the bathroom was very small, and so was the apt. She absolutely loved it. The only time she had to go to the laundromat was when she did her comforters. She hung everything out on a line. She used it for several years, then she left the area. For all I know, she took it with her!

[@SobrietyandSolace]

How small was the apartment? The one I just left was 500sq ft but has standard 600mm gaps in the counter tops in the kitchen for your washer/dryer, cooker and fridge. I guess lots of apartment building have communal laundry rooms over there.

[@sharonbartley808]

How did she shower?

[@judyromero2174]

Personally, I don't see how it would be safe to put the washer inside the tub. Because when it's draining, there's sometimes an inch of water in there. Wouldn't that go inside the motor through the bottom of the washer? I put mine on a small table and drain it in the tub.

[@freefoodchef7939]

​@@sharonbartley808These kinds of washers are lightweight enough that you just lift them out and put them on the bathroom floor while you shower or bathe, then put them back in.

I want the old model back :'(

[@andreasdesigns]

As a kid, I remember my mother saving the rinse water from the washer and using it for the wash cycle of the next load. This could easily be done to help save on water. Even if you live in an apartment where you don’t pay for water, conserving water is good environmentally.

[@morsumbra9692]

Agreed but no amount of water you save will make any difference. The problem is corporate water use and waste and farming waste(like corn being subsidized in arid climates...). Don't give in to marketing that says environmentalism is YOUR problem. Cuz compared to the jerks paying to have the amazon burned down or Duke Power company "accidently" dumping coal ash, you doing as little as a dragonfly to the earths mass equation.

[@lisarose-iv7cx]

Theres no such thing as wasted water. 😂 All water is returned via the water cycle table. WE all learn this in elementary school.

[@morsumbra9692]

​@@lisarose-iv7cx yeah and we have enough food on this planet to feed about 10billion people but there are still people starving, still people dying of dehydration, still mass amounts of land being polluted and underutilized. so yeah what we learned in elementary school is still useful... but reality is a thing whether you grow up or not and even a resource as replenishing as water can get FUBAR to the point of it being poison, like acid rain.

[@heatherjasper97]

[@lamarrharding4776]

I bought a used large salad spinner at a trift store, and large bowls to set it in. Drilled holes in the bottom of the spinner so the water can drain into the outer bowl, one bowl soapy water, one rinse water and one to catch the water spun out. Soak the clothes in soapy water, agitate for a a bit, lift the spinner to the empty bowl, spin, set the spinner in the rinse water, agitate, then back to the empty bowl to spin dry. Start with light colored clothing going to darker colors using the same water for the whole wash. Doesn't take electricity, takes little space, conserves water!

[@lamarrharding4776]

Actually conserving wash and rinse water was what you grandparents did. They heated water in a boiler pan on a laundry stove, so they had to conserve water.

10/20/21....I saw you WASH your clothes but DIDN'T see you DRAIN/add fresh water for RINSE CYCLE to remove detergent water so you can get wet clothes without soap residue.

[@careyconley4690]

@@PaulaCodo Actually, that second intake on the spinner side should eliminate the need to refill the washer side for the same load. Connect your water intake hose to the spin side, add your wet clothing, turn it on, then once it reaches full speed, turn on the water intake for that side. The fresh water while spinning helps spin the dirt out. Run that until you're satisfied the dirt has been spun out of your clothes, then turn the water off and allow your clothes to spin, as normal. I normally do one spin cycle with the water on, then one with it off.

[@marsheemallowz8622]

Just a tip. For a cleaner wash dont overload the tub with water and clothes. As for the spin dryer, it makes a loud banging noise if the weight isnt well distributed. Also, although it stops automatically when opened, wait till the spinner slow down a bit, it will help the motor belt last longer since its not being forced.

[@sequoyahkdockry1517]

Hi! About not loading it too full. I saw a video where a woman washed a small load with soap and water, then moved those clothes to spin, but reused the washing water for a second small load. Does that seem like good advice?

[@user-kpkxgtj]

@@sequoyahkdockry1517 if you break your laundry up into batches, start with whites / lightly soiled clothes and move to progressively dirtier clothes, you absolutely can reuse your soapy water. If you rinse clothes in the wash tub instead of the spinner, you can reuse rinse water too. It's good advice and a great way to conserve water.

Do not drain the wash water. I would then wash a load of light colored clothes, I would spin each and place in a laundry basket . I would then wash a load of good dark clothes or lightly soiled dark clothes, wash and spin. And then my heavily soiled clothes. Once everything has been washed I drain the wash tub. Once drained I would fill with my clean clothes and repeat the process to rinse each load. After rinsing and spinning they would be ready to dry. This way you save on your water.

We would use a very large wooden tongs to take the washed clothes out of the washing section into a bucket before transferring to the ringing tub. I used to help my granny on Saturday mornings do this job . The machine would shake sometimes across the floor when ringing so you had to stand by the sink and make sure the emptying hose didn’t fall out and spill water everywhere.

When I saw this on Amazon, even though it is half the size I bought it just because I loved the one I had. It is really amazing! I have a super large automatic Maytag, but I use this one instead🤣. I use the Maytag for blakets and other really bigger items. I wash all my clothes in one hour instead of one bundle taking an hour in the Maytag! I also love the fact that I can determine the wash time. Regular daily worn clothes are not so dirty that you need to wash it for an hour! The spinner does spin super fast and the clothes do come out nice and quite dry. Just make sure to put the plastic shield thingy that came with the machine into on top of the clothes in the spinner, otherwise it is going to "fling" the clothes up onto the lid and make a scary sound. Also, when I am done washing, fill the wash side with water again put a cap of softener in that and just push as much of the clothes I can in that and then leave it for a minute or two without turning it on. Then spin it out and fill the large tub up with more water if I couldn't fit all my clothes into the wash side all in one. My clothes are really much cleaner and softer like she said. I am looking to see if I can get a larger one with a water pump. I am very glad I bought this one though. And as I said, I bought it in 2018 and I use it 3 times a week and never had any problems with it! Thank you for this video too. I agree with you , this was a good investment. I wash outside (I don't have a drain for the water in my laundry room). I use the garden hose. This machine is very light, so not difficult to carry at all. I drain the water onto my tree too and the soapy water doesn't hurt the tree at all.

Back in the day my mother used a twin tube washer/spinner (1960s) for a family of six - it took her all day. It was state of the art after the old agitator/ twin roller wringer machine. Amazing to see it revived after 60 years.

[@kathydurow6814]

Australia used to have these twin tubs as standard pre-2000. Not sure if they're available any more, think my sister has as old one but my mum really misses hers, now has a front loader. Usually much quicker, but fairly small loads. Not sure about water efficiency except you can use 1 tub of laundry water for multiple loads (whites, then lights, then coloured, then darks), maybe with small top ups if necessary. A bucket of water for a second rinse after spinning out the first time back into the washing tub ( not a bucket). Second rinse used to go down the drain, so did the wash water after you were done, last step so the spinning action doesn't walk your washer everywhere. Also squeeze or twist the drips out of your clothes back into the wash tub before you spin, makes it lighter in weight for the spinner so less wear & tear. ETA: this was a step up from the wringer washer we had in the States in the 60s/early 70s. So Mum was used to multiple loads through one lot of washing water & needing to rinse etc frequently at the end of a wash cycle separately from the washer tub. Actually used to rinse clothes in a separate sink of cold clean water before the second spin or wring out, both machines. Memories of getting my hand caught in the wringer while helping which later generations will never have.

[@Mejlynne]

This is what I use when I visit Egypt. I always spin my clothes between wash and rinse to get as much soapy water out as possible. When washing towels, I run the spinner twice to get them as dry as possible. I love this machine for its simplicity.

[@malindawilczynski2774]

Jenn, I do the same, and spin the wash wash water out, before rinsing this is how we also did on the old wringer washers too. It helps to rid the clothes of detergent residue better. Since my machine came with no running instructions, tried it with and without the spin between wash and rinse, and liked the results much better with the spin between. Also you can do several loads in the same wash water by going from least soiled to most and add additional detergent if needed as you go along, put the spun clothes in a basket. and then do the same with rinse, changing the water as necessary. this is how we did it in the old days - when I was young, and it will save you a lot on soap and water.

[@kathyfann]

I bought this. It works great I am on my second one in 12 years. Just got the new one this spring. I simply put it on my patio and run a hose with a nozzle. Let it drain on the Grass. This is my second washer because sometimes I have a smaller load.

We got tired of the cheaper brands like GE, etc, not filling up the tub, wearing out because they are not designed to last, and other issues.

Hi Deal Guy big fan Because of your comment I’m going to sub this site first visit thank you

[@girlnextdoorgrooming]

THE DEAL GUY I am one of your subscribers. I bought this unit from Costway 5 years ago. I settled on this one because: 1) Costway is a known brand with a generous refund policy. 2) It has a large capacity. 3) This unit has a gravity drain rather than a drain pump. Since parts are not available once the drain pump dies your unit no longer has a functional centrifuge. The system I eventually settled on is to put it in my shower on top of 2 Gorilla brand steps stools for maximum drainage. This prevents souring or spillage from working with a bucket. I actually use an empty hand soap container for detergent. Two pumps or 1 tablespoon. 1 tablespoon if you use powder. More and you will have to rinse twice. 2 ounces of oxygen powder for tough loads but no chlorine bleach! It ruins the mechanical parts. The washer section has a 5 gallon capacity. I know because it use to sit on my front porch steps and was filled with 1 five-gallon bucket. By comparison, a standard top loader washer holds 20 gallons of water. You can wash 3 pair of jeans or two towels. Up to 6-8 shirts. A small throw or a bath sheet fits but not a twin sized blanket. It is best to test by fitting something in the dryer/centrifuge before actually washing said item or you will wind up twisting the item dry. First, fill washer compartment with items, then put in water and soap. There is no appreciable difference in putting in detergent before or after water. I found it easiest to use a drop down shower head rather than connect the accompanying hose by use of specific additional equipment. Set the left knob to desired timing and go do something else. Heavily soiled items like sneakers can be drained and washed twice, or even three times but if you don't change the wash water they won't get any cleaner. There is a gentle setting for undergarments, etc. Ladies, please hook all bra enclosures before washing to prevent tangling. I actually put my bras into a rectangular stainless steel basket from 5-Below which fits beautifully in the top of the washer compartment and would wash other items below at the same time. After the wash cycle start spinning the soapy clothes as you drain the washer. This has to be done in batches because this unit, like all the models, for some reason, has twice the capacity in the washer section as in the "dryer" section. (It isn't a dryer as we know it in the US. It is a centrifuge.) After the full load is spun out, rinse out the washer section, return clothes to the washer section and fill tank again. Rinse cycle literally takes half as much time. *Pro tip: Do not drain this load. Save the water for the next load if you have one. Just add soap. The spun clothes can be dried in one of two ways--either on a rack or, as I have done, add an additional shower curtain rod at the center of the shower and hang things from plastic Dollar Tree hangers. If you have a lot of laundry you can do both. Tee shirts, sweat shirts and sweaters are best hung by folding them in half over the bottom of the hanger so you don't get marks on the shoulders. Heavy items can dry faster if you flip them over on the hanger halfway through the process. Clothes sometimes won't dry before they sour if you only hang them up so I used a garage style fan which has a tilting feature pointed straight at the clothes. They are inevitably dry within forty minutes to an hour. Drying clothes with a fan also cools the apartment quite a few degrees so, since you are nerdy, (cute nerdy) you may want to use a thermometer to measure that difference. I like to hang up my clothes and turn on the fan just before bed. The noise and drop in temperature helps me sleep. THE DEAL GUY I hope this helps and you mention me during your video review of this item. PAULA CODO feel free to pin this post and I hope this helps.

I have had my Costway washer for 2.5 years $ 112.00 for RV & love it. Was watching a woman scared to leave her apt & she bought one, Saved money & time. Washes all my leggings, shirts & intimates in 5 minutes (I feel that's all I need). I use Woolite #1 Tablespoon detergent at the end of water fill bc it will be too much suds. Plus if anything has long sleeves or legs I put some things in delicate bags bc it will get tangled up. In fact I stay & watch it & sometimes have to manually pull apart within the swirl wash. It is not that hard. You can wash a queen sheet & pillow cases at a time but I would not wash or load to the very top too much I think. I drain & rinse with fresh water. It has a small lent trap in the wall you remove to clean.The spin side is my fave bc it truly does come out practically dry but you can not put but half full & don't you dare forget the plastic topper for it. I even have used a regular sized washer & respund my clothes in this sweet spinner. SAY AGAIN I USE 1 TABLESPOON OF DETERGENT ITS THAT GOOD OF A WASH. 2.5 YEARS & STILL GOING.

You don’t need to wash for 15 minutes, 5-6 minutes is totally long enough, I have my washer in the shower because it gets wet wet wet and it’s so much easier to just let the hose drain out into the shower drain. You also will come to find that you can cut the soaps down to half what you added just now and it does fantastic! This thing is so efficient compared to the big traditional machines. I wash in soapy water for 5 minutes, spin 1 minute to get the dirty soapy water out, set aside do as many loads as I need to in that same soapy mix, rinse all the loads for 5-6 minutes (keep adding water to keep it full), spin each load for 4 minutes and hang them to dry. Washing laundry in a real full size wash machine doesn’t make sense anymore. I have used a laundry mat 2 times in the last 2 years and both times I am blown away at how wasteful and expensive machines are.

I got the exact same one but didn’t come with fitler

[@TheAdorkable-1]

I got one last year cause my washer went down. It took almost 9months to get the parts. I got one of these. Definitely a life saver!

Instantly subscribed. Something about Paula is so heartwarming and genuine. Thank you so much for the video!

I spin between washing and rinsing too. Removes more soap.

[@michelleccutler2690]

I have that exact machine. We had to live in our fifth wheel for six months while we were waiting to get our house. I absolutely love it. We were even able to wash our sheets in it for a queen-size bed.

[@michelleccutler2690]

My sheets fit in the spinner. But you can only do one sheet at a time

[@lvl3592]

@@michelleccutler2690 what about spinning out mens jeans ?

[@michelleccutler2690]

I wash jeans in the machine I did three pairs at a time if it was two pair of my jeans and one of my husband's. If it's just my husband's jeans I only did two pair of time. But I did ring them out one at a time. It could probably handle ringing out two pair of jeans at a time I just never tried it

[@michelleccutler2690]

I generally washed two pair of mine and one of my husband's. But if I was washing my husband's jeans I only did two at a time. I rang the jeans out one at a time. You could probably do two at a time I just never tried it

[@burgertown4987]

Do you think it could wash a throw blanket?

[@winniewhittington8815]

This would be perfect for me! I've always been afraid to try one of these portable washers but your demonstration has given me hope for a way to do laundry. And I absolutely love your little apartment. It is so beautiful with all the little touches you've added. You have great taste.

[@gingermiddleton2023]

I love mine. It's so easy to use and it does clean your clothes well. I rinse my clothes 2 times..if you get one be sure not to over load it and don't use too much detergent. I use this for my trailer when we travel.

[@sherieford5734]

I love mine and I also have a portable dryer that I bought off Amazon for 50 dollars. It works great also. I was shocked how well they both work. Best buys ever.

[@elizabethprice4129]

I own a similar machine and it works better than my daughter's expensive Samsung washer!

[@wishmakr]

I just bought this device. Thank you for the instructional video.

[@PaulaCodo]

Glad it was helpful! Your very welcome 🌸💕

My mother in law had one back in the 80’s from Hoover….hers was able to drain back into the sink rather than into a bucket on the floor….great video…..thinking about getting one myself

[@PaulaCodo]

Oh wow, having a pump would make a big difference…not everyone can lift that heavy bucket..thanks for sharing that with me 🌸
