## Description

desertcart.com: COSTWAY Portable Mini Washing Machine with Spin Dryer, Washing Capacity 5.5lbs, Electric Compact Machines Durable Design Energy Saving, Rotary Controller, Laundry Washer for Home Apartment RV, Blue : Appliances

Review: Powerful and simple machine with a small footprint - I needed something that fit easily in a closet and had a 2-in-1 feature. This machine works perfectly and I am an absolute fan of this machine! I love it so much that I'm leaving a detailed review b/c I know how challenging it is to find. -This beats hand washing by a mile. Do not expect a fully automated machine because this a glorified "hand" washing bucket. If you want 100% automated you need to look at the other products on the market. For this mini machine, you still have to manually fill, drain, and spin-wring "dry" to get the water out of the clothes. -The shipping box is not hidden, so you can see COSTCO on it (warning if you trying to be conspicuous). The lid of my machine is a tiny bit cracked but doesn't affect the function. I will be reaching out to the company. -I've only used this for 2 days (6 loads), so I cannot attest to the longevity of the machine (I hope it lasts). Each load can handle a certain weight of clothing (specified in the description). I eye-balled it and went with what I thought was appropriate to allow for space to clean and water to move around. If the items are too heavy you will hear the motor struggle. An example, I was able to wash 3 gym shorts, 3 tank tops, 2 t-shirts, and 3 pairs of socks with no problem. I've also washed jeans, towels, and sweaters. Few warnings: -The machine does rock a little bit when washing and you must be careful to balance the clothes evenly when using the spinner (just like a regular washing machine). -The black feet on the machine leaves black marks on the tub (i didn't have a problem cleaning it after), but I recommend putting it on a mat instead of directly on the tub. -The machine causes a lot of lint to collect on the clothes so I use a reusable lint remover to get the lint off. It's another trade-off. Other machines have a lint trap but are bigger machines. -The hose that comes with it is a cheap plastic hose, but they sell better quality hoses on desertcart for a cheap price. -Pre-Soak: This machine works within reason. If you have very soiled clothing, you must pre-soak it. You can soak it in the machine or somewhere else then transfer the clothes to the machine. -You will likely need an extension cord to reach an outlet. You can stop reading from here if you know how this thing works... How it works: -Simple enough, you fill it with water and you drain it by the drain hose. The hose works by gravity so your mini-machine needs to be higher than where you are draining the water into. Check out youtube videos for a tutorial! -Only use 1-3 tablespoons of detergent -The machine alternates spinning clockwise and counterclockwise during the washing cycle as a way to slosh around the clothes to clean it. There is a 10-minute washing timer and a 5-minute spin "dry" timer. The knob function is simple. You turn it to the time you want to use and you can manually turn it to 0 if you want to prematurely stop it. The spin basket is smaller so you will not be able to fit all the clothes you washed into the spin basket (you will have to do multiple loads to spin), but it's a trade-off for the small footprint machine. Where to use it: I've tested the machine in two settings and both work fine. 1) In the bathtub and by filling it up with a bucket (much faster in my opinion). 2) In the kitchen attached to the sink faucet with draining into a bucket. -As long as you keep the water within the min and max lines, the water is contained well within the machine so you don't have to worry about spilling water everywhere. -The instructions recommend to do it in the bathtub to be safe. If you choose to do it anywhere besides in the tub, you will have to drain the water into a bucket. -When putting it in the bathtub, I simply put it in the tub and let the hose down whenever I need to drain it. There is no concern about the cord hitting the water. My person recommendation: For washing: I usually set it twice (20-minutes) for my first round of cleaning or Then I go through one cycle for rinsing. I have purchased washer silicon machine balls to throw in and agitate the water more, but it's not necessary. I've done a few loads without and the clothes are very clean. For spinning: I fill up the basket about halfway, put the plastic accessory on top of the clothes to keep them from flying away, and set the spin timer. One spin cycle gets the clothes to a point better than I could get it with wringing by hand.
Review: It is cheap so expect cheap. Actually too cheap to be good. - Immidately noticed pros, very small and easily fits on countertop, and is very easy to store. Cons immidately noticed after first use and all following uses, takes just as much water as other mini washers that I've used in the past and can only wash half the amount of cloths with more time. The spin cycle is nowhere near fast enough, all the cloths come out still dripping wet (literally) after just one spin cycle, most cloths need to be spun for about 15 minutes which is why it takes much longer than other mini washers on desertcart. The removable basket for spinning the cloths is always being flung out of place even when the clothes are in evenly causing damage to the basket with every use. Update 8-12-18 I don't know what happened to it but when it's tumbling the clothes around in water, the thing hardly moves the cloths. They just move by about 10° in one direction before it agitates in the other direction for again 10°. The cloths still spin just as *not* well despite the lack of agitation. Update 3-8-19 Wound up throwing away the washer several months ago and purchased another one of the mini washers that I had prior to this one. In sheer retrospect, this was a terrible purchase simply because it did not clean the clothes. It just would not ever clean them adquately and it would also never spin them adquately. I had to throw away numerous articles of clothing due to mold and mildew and similar problems from this machine essentially just getting them wet and leaving them wet. I prefer to hang dry my cloths but even *if* you were to put the cloths into a dryer one load of this washer would take several cycles just to be able to hang dry. I know this because I literally did that. And the thing is so small you can hardly wash two shirts at a time! Just put that into perspective with taking so long to dry in a dryers. It's too small and too low quality to possibly be worth the money to purchase this item.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***E on January 13, 2024*

Let me get straight to the point here: Amazing machine, but probably only for technically minded people. What I mean is that it can be hard to set it up properly so that it works smoothly and steadily. FIRST OFF It will shake vigorously (especially in spin mode) so you need to attach it to something firmly. If you don't it will flail wildly and fall off your counter. HOWEVER you should note: There is a way to load the spin dryer properly that makes a HUGE difference! I've noticed if you just chuck stuff into it, it'll shake violently. But if you load stuff so that its lining the sides of the basket, with everything evenly spaced around the sides, it will shake MUCH less. I believe this is extremely important information everyone should know about. It makes a massive difference. Now that being said, I used double-sided tape to attach the feet to something and that is working great for me. However, if you just tape it right to a solid surface connected to your house, it will vibrate that part of your house pretty loudly. So if you're in a cramped apartment building you might not want to do that. What I did is I double-side taped it to a smooth wood board, and then put that on top of an old t-shirt (which is on the counter beside my bathtub). So this way the board can vibrate a lot without making a ton of noise. I also have a shelf on the side so it's impossible for it to fall off the counter - you'd likely also want some kind of extra blocker or support. Once you have it well set up with shake supports and rags or vibration and whatnot, its fine. You can absolutely turn it on and walk away - I have been every day. But I have mine well set up to be able to do so. I can see reviews from other people where they said they can't leave it unattended or they have to hold it the whole time - that's obviously just because they 1) didn't know how to securely attach it down to something to stop the shaking, and 2) didn't know that you have to load the spin dryer basket a certain way in order for it to not shake. Not that people can be blamed for this - the instructions don't even mention any of this. There's also the matter of attaching the hose itself. If you're lucky then the rubber-ended side of the hose will stretch over your bath faucet and it should be easy. But it might not. For me I had to unscrew the bath faucet tip and place the hose inside with a tiny rubber gasket over the hose to make a seal (So its a lot of work to re-attach it if it gets yanked out.. but I live alone and I don't really use the bath faucets.) But anyway keep in mind that it's possible a trip to a local hardware store, to buy little rubber gaskets or faucet adapters, MIGHT be necessary if you want the hose attachment to work properly. So my review is I highly approve, but you should understand what you're buying. If you're expecting a simple "out-of-the-box" experience, you might consider looking at one of the smaller and simpler types of these machines. This one is rather heavy-duty as far as portable washers go and thus its gonna require more set-up. But it also washes like a BEAST. This thing gets my clothes so clean it is amazing. The actual process of using it is a joy. Once you have it set up and working it's amazing. But unless you're the sort of person that has an easy time putting together IKEA furniture, this might not be the best fit for you.
