PAN6360W

We spent a month looking for the perfect portable washer. There are a lot on the market, with varying reviews and experiences. We were a little hesitant about all of them but this one seemed promising: And it is! I'll provide information about our set up experiences at two different houses followed by a pro and con list. At the end, I'll provide some tips based on other reviews I read in case you're worried about some other experiences--many problems people had were easy for us to figure out. Set up: No need to install too much. Depending on the type of faucet you have in your sink will depend on how you hook it up. We had to get a quick connector and wound up placing it on our bathroom sink in the first house we lived in. We weren't allowed to install a washer, so this was the best solution. We got a longer hose off amazon to intake water and a longer hose to have it pump out that simply attached to the existing hose. After we moved, we were able to set up the quick adapter in our new bathroom sink but the sink itself did not have a sensor on it to tell it to stop pumping out water when the washer didn't need it. This has *nothing* to do with the washer, we just had to set it up a little differently. The washer is still perfect, it's not the washer's fault the sink wasn't set up how it needed to be. This shouldn't be an issue for most situations, but we came up with an easy solution. I found an adapter for shower heads that allows you to have two shower heads and pull a "tab" to switch between them, so only one shower head is on at once. I don't remember what this adapter was called but it was easy to find at home depot (probably better price at amazon). From there, I needed a quick connect to make it easy to connect and disconnect the hose. The one for the sink isn't the same size threading or something so it wouldn't work. Instead, we got a garden hose quick connector (this is something that would allow you to quickly dis/connect a spray handle from a hose). Once I figured out what I needed, it was a very simple set up! Pros: -It pumps the water out for you unlike other washers. -There are a lot of settings to fit your different needs. -It stops whatever its doing when the lid is opened. -It can be paused and restarted. -It will beep at you if something is wrong. -Directions are clear and easy to read. I was very upset with some of the other reviewers and the rude language they used regarding this. -Washes bedsheets and blankets within the weight category. -You can pause to add fabric softener. -Warm or cold water (don't use super hot water). -Doesn't need a lot of detergent. I use powdered detergent, one box (large) has lasted me the whole 6 months. Cons: Some of these are a bit of a stretch. -Can't use super hot water...not really an issue? -Might take some additional adapters/hoses depending on what kind of sink you have and the size of threading. This would be the same with any other washer, though. -She's a little loud, but it's not a big deal. -Mine came with a bit of a blemish on the front, it isn't a big deal and doesn't disrupt its ability to clean things whatsoever. So, rather than complaining about it I'm just looking for a cute panda-printed tape or something to place around the washer so it covers the blemish. It doesn't bother me so much that it's a pressing matter. Tips: -Bedsheets: Queen, up to 2, I usually do 1 at a time. -Blankets: I only do blankets within the weight (12lbs), 1 at a time. -If you're putting in a lot of clothes you should use the highest water setting. Some reviewers had tears in their clothes because there wasn't enough water to keep the clothes from catching on the lint trap. This isn't really a problem, it doesn't use a lot of water. -Might want little risers or spacers if your floor is not level so that the washer will be level and works well. -I would put a lint trap at the end of the outgoing hose. After trying a few things I just use organza bags now-they're cheap to buy in bulk and can be discarded. Some days I go without washing, some days I'll wash over four loads in a day back to back. I wash everything I own in this washer and I am very pleased. She handles very well, she's a real trooper. I was so worried something would go wrong but I am very glad I went with this washer over any other I was looking at.

OMG Love this machine. It fits way more than I thought it would. However I did get the PAN6360W which is 12lb load one. I think these reviews are mixed between different models. So me saying it fits a lot of cloths might not be true for someone who got the smaller models. Anyway it cleans really well. Love that I can control the temperature with my sink water. Hot for whites, warm or cold for colors. You will want to get HE (high efficiency) detergent for this machine. However most detergents now a days are already HE. HE detergent in case you don't know is designed for smaller more efficient washing machines that use less gallons of water like this one. Soap is designed to have less suds and keep dirt bonded to the water as opposed to soaking back in the cloths. Traditional detergent on big washers go through huge rinse cycles with 40-50 gallons of water. These smaller machines do not so HE detergent is very important. As others have said the wheels in the back are no good to maneuver. If you can't leave this in place you will need to get a dolly. I got one for 30 bucks (adjustable square shape) set it on it and works perfectly. I roll it into the kitchen when I need it and roll it back to a closet when I don't. Also another very important thing not really mentioned by manufacture. You will need a lint trap at the end of drain hose. The built in lint trap inside the machine is not sufficient, especially if you have pets. You would be shocked how much lint my lint trap catches that's attached to the end of the drain hose. If that were constantly going into my kitchen sink I'd be backed up already. The spinner after the rinse works really well. Clothes come out damp, but never overly wet or dripping. I purchased a portable drier from Panda also which also works great. If you hang dry the only downside is Lint on the clothes and I see no compartment for liquid fabric softener to add during the rinse cycle, so you would have to manually add it at the right time. Here is my only con's which I'm not going to take points off because it's minor and doesn't effect the final outcome which is clean clothes. So they make a see through door on the top which would be nice to see the clothes in the Unit as it's working. However they made it with the darkest plastic ever. It's like darker than the darkest sunglasses. In order to see though the top window I literally had to grab a flash light shine it inside and then cup my hands next to it and try to look in. Why would they do this? Might as well not have a see through cover at all then. The only other thing is I would of like a cycle option that had a double rinse option. I don't see that anywhere and the short cycles on the left don't have an option for rinse only. I guess the closest you can get to double rinse is running a 2nd cycle with quick wash selected and then not adding any Detergent.

Works great. Cleans perfectly. Worth the price

I searched and saved up for a small washer for my apartment, I read so many reviews about so many different washers, I finally settled on this one. I ordered it on April 14th and received it April 18th, and used it today for the first time, did 3 loads of laundry, didn’t even know the washer was running and I was sitting almost right next to it. It’s great, I have another little washer that fits in my bathtub, but with that one, you have to put water in do the wash for 15 min, then drain the water, and then add more water for rinse cycle for 15 min, then drain the water and then transfer some of the clothes to the spin dryer because not all the clothes would fit in the little dryer. It worked good enough but I decided to invest in a full automatic washer. I bought this one Panda, model # PAN638MH1, it has a lot of great reviews and I found it easy to use and I read all the instructions. I only have a couple of dislikes, or wishes, I wish both water and drain hoses were longer, I wish there was a place to put the fabric softener in the washer so I wouldn’t have to add it before the rinse cycle, like my Mother used to have to do. I think I remedied that by ordering a downy fabric softener dispenser, just got it today after I finished the laundry so will try it the next time. I wish it had 4 wheels instead of just 2, guess I will have to save to buy a little rolling cart for it. I will look into getting longer hoses. I guess that’s it for now, will update when I have used it more. I think I will try to save for a dryer so I don’t have to go down to the laundry room at all in my building. I have used this washer now for over a month and it still works great, just 1 thing , I seem to have a bit of a leak where I attach the intake hose to the back of washer , not sure how to fix it but will keep trying to figure it out. This item is well worth the money

Sturdy and practical. I have been using it for 2 years now and it still works very well. My only regret: I should have bought the slightly bigger model (it fits roughly half of what I was used to with a "regular" washing machine). You can wash towels and a complete sheet set, but not for comforter. Also: if you fill it too much with heavy clothes, it tends to easily get "unbalanced" - with heavy clothes you have to leave more free space. All in all, this item paid for itself after only 6 months of use (versus paying for the laundry room) so I am very happy with the product and my overall savings over 2 years! (and still more use to come!!) Very practical, also, for "spin cycle only" with items you need to hand-wash -- makes the drying time much quicker.

Most of the reviews are right. It holds quite a lot more than you'd expect for its size. it has a build in filter and gets rid of quite a bit of lint even before you put the clothes in the dryer. its relatively quiet too while its doing its thing. The interface is easy to use, the instructions are right on top. Press a button to choose between 8 different wash types, press a button to choose the water level, and hold the button to choose the temperature. it drains well I've used it probably close to a hundred times already in the few short months I've had it and haven't had any problems, it still smells like new, and feels very stable and durable. I feel like I'm nitpicking a bit, but the ONLY, and I mean ONLY downside to this machine is the 10 really loud beeps it does when its done. I live in a small apartment not a 2 story house...I only need like 3 beeps to tell me its done, but its not able to be modified from what we read in the instruction manual...So if you're reading this Panda...please lower the amount of beeps at the end or give us a button to mute the end cycle. I cant believe I waited so long before buying this, I really wanted to make sure it was good quality and worked well, the other reviews really helped me hone in on this one out of all the possible small washers. If you're hesitating, let this review be the sign you need to get it. its worth it!!

I love this little machine. Comes with everything you need to set it up. The drainage hose is pretty powerful so make sure to tie it down . I zip tied it to the fill hose and it works perfectly. It fits way more than you'd think. I was able to comfortably fit 4 large bath sheets . This machine is powerful yet super quiet. I am so happy I bought this.

So far so good. I've only had it 4 days. Used it alot already to catch up on laundry. Great little washer. I've used it on the quick cycle, which works excellent! Watching the dirty water go into the sink is somehow satisfying to me. I'll still have to go to the basement coin operated washer and dryer to do my comforters and blankets, but this washer is excellent for everything else. I have the Panda dryer as well. What a great little combination for doing laundry. Very thankful for this purchase. If anything changes, I'll come back and update.
