Worked great! Lasted exactly one year
Worth it! Apartment life saver! Paid for itself in no time. Saved me so much time & money. It worked great for me. Single person in a tiny apt. I put it in my bathtub. Used a funnel and a bungee cord to turn faucet on works great. Space heater on my clothing rack dries clothes in no time. It only lasted one year tho. The spinner eventually gave out. Definitely got my monies worth! Cleaner clothes too! Don’t overload it and I used vinegar to clean it once every couple of weeks.

Ideal for apartment dwellers
My husband and I bought this washing machine after discovering that our new home (in an apartment building) didn’t have a convenient laundry room, after all.That left my husband and me with two choices: Trek to the laundromat weekly, giving up time we’d rather use for fun activities, or find a way to wash our most frequently used clothes at home.After reading LOTS of reviews, we decided to try this washing machine, and I’m SO glad we did!The first thing to know is: You’ll learn a LOT by reading others’ reviews of this washer. I recommend filtering the reviews by looking for reviews featuring the word “lint.” They tend to include the most information.Then, here are my best tips and insights to get the most from this wonderful washer…For us, it makes the most sense to use this washing machine in our bathroom. We’ve put ours on an old coffee table, so the washer is at a comfortable height and near the tub/shower combo, and we don’t have to move it in & out of the tub, or anything like that.However, the spin/dry cycle can be noisy sometimes, so we’ve put anti-vibration pads under the legs of the washer AND under the legs of the coffee table. (Recommended: MyLifeUNIT Shock Absorbing Washer Pads, Anti-Vibration Washer Mat Protector for Washing Machine Dryer Treadmill )Also, I was not impressed with the hose intended to fill the washer through one of the water inlets. So, I inserted that hose into the larger hose (used to drain the water into a sink or – in our case – into the tub), and hot glued a ring around the outside of the hose where the two join. That added length makes draining the water super-easy.(In nearly two months of steady use, I’ve only had to reinforce that connection once, and only in a tiny spot.)In addition, we put a nylon sock – intended to hold a bar of soap in the shower – over the end of the drainage hose combo, so our tub’s drain doesn’t get clogged with lint. Initially, there was a LOT of lint coming off our socks and knit clothing.For most loads, I fill the washing machine tub about half full. That seems to work best to get everyday dirt out of fabrics.Then, I add water to the washer with our hand-held shower head, noting that the water shouldn’t be super hot in this washing machine. (Note: There is a drain near the top of it, so the water won’t accidentally overflow.)I turn the washing machine on, and – as the clothes are moving back and forth – add laundry detergent. Use less than you expect to need. A little goes a very long way.(Biggest surprise: Seeing how much dirt came out of our clothes during the first couple of washings. Apparently, the washing machine in our old apartment was NOT doing a very good job. I LOVE how clean our clothes are, now.)Like another reviewer suggested, I sometimes wash the clothes for the longest time (15 minutes), let the clothes sit (in the same water) for about 20 minutes, and then run it – in the same water – through another wash cycle. If the clothes are extra-dirty, that extra wash cycle really helps.Then, I remove the clothes, wringing them out, lightly, and place them in the spin dryer. (And, of course, drain the water from the washing tub.)Tip: Fill the spin dryer halfway, at the most, and try to balance the weight of the items evenly. Jam the white plastic grid down firmly, and then turn the spin cycle on for just a few seconds.- If the spin cycle makes terrible clunking noises, stop the spin cycle immediately. Readjust the clothes (or remove a couple of heavy items) and try again.- If it makes just a few rocking noises, wait and see if it balances itself. If not, readjust the clothes and try again.Once you’re sure the load is well-balanced, dial the spin cycle to 1, 2, or 3. More than that doesn’t seem to make much difference. Generally, I’m happy with 1 for this part of the process. (Note: Each dial can be reset to a longer time, but if you change your mind and want to dial it down to a shorter time… that doesn’t seem to work. So, start with a cycle that’s shorter than you think you may need.)Then the clothes go back into the washer for a rinse cycle, followed by another spin-dry cycle before we hang the clothes on a drying rack. (For this spin cycle, I often dial it up to 3 minutes, to get the clothes as dry as possible.)We’ve been using this washer three or four times a week, for about two months. I’ll admit that this is time-consuming, and a little annoying to shuffle the clothes back and forth between the washing side of the machine and the spin dryer.But compared with having to buy more clothes or spend hours more at a laundromat… I’m delighted to use this washer.It’s holding up well. Everything is still working like new. Our clothes seem to be cleaner than ever.The only disappointment has been trying to wash heavy clothes like denim jeans, etc. Though the washing machine seems to get them clean, the spin dryer balks at a super-heavy load like that. And I don’t have the patience to keep readjusting the load to keep the machine from rocking.Other reviewers say they’re washing jeans in this machine, but for me, it makes the most sense to save the heaviest clothes for a single trip to the laundromat every few weeks.If you’re looking for a small, affordable washing machine for your apartment or RV, this is the machine to get. I give it a full five stars for providing excellent value and convenience. And, as I said earlier, our clothes have never been cleaner.

Petite laveuse essoreuse très efficace. Idéal pour petit appartement et facile à ranger. Les vêtements sortent propres et très bien essorés. Il suffit de bien assécher les paroies après usage et le tour est joué.

Not worth the money. Issues with it from the beginning.Seller not helpful at all when I contacted them. They did not offer any troubleshooting tips. I have had issues with it draining from the beginning. My fault I should have returned it the first week.
