Giantex Portable Washing Machine, Full Automatic Washer and Dryer Combo, with Built-in Pump Drain 8 LBS Capacity Compact Laundry Washer Spin Dryer for Apartment RV Dorm

1 YEAR, 3 MONTH UPDATE: Works perfectly, NO problems yet( hope I'm not jinxing it). Best Amazon find in a looong time! Original Review: I moved to a little condo that doesn't have a washer/dryer hookup and has an abysmal laundry room, so I needed a small washer that can tuck away in a tiny linen closet, required NO washer hookup, and could run on a standard electric outlet. This seemed like the best one... ARRIVAL, HOOKUP: The washer arrived without issue, and as per other reviews, it needed a special adapter to hook it up to my sink. The adapter included didn't work for me, but I was proactive and bought 2 different adapters and returned the extra one that was not needed. I kept the adapter that allows for easy on/off, so I can still use my sink in between washes. (Danco 10521 Dual Thread Dishwasher Snap Coupling Adapter, 15/16-27 X 55/64-27 Male, 1.5 Gpm). The duel thread seems to be where others have gone wrong. It was pretty easy to hook up otherwise. MOBILITY: It's lightweight, so I can move it alone, but I need a dolly for it long term. It was too small for the small furniture dolly I bought through Amazon, so keep size in mind when looking. NOISE: It isn't super loud at all. When I shut the bathroom door, I can't hear it at all. I posted a video of noise levels and spin speed. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: The water intake hose is kind of short, as is the electric cord, so you might need an extension cord as well. WASHING QUALITY: As for the washing function, I'm shocked at how well it cleans! I researched portable washers, and I was fully prepared for mediocre wash and poor spin, but this little thing is actually a real washer (minus all the extra settings, of course). The clothes are as clean, or cleaner than the laundry mat, and the spin cycle really spins excellently, nearly dry. Super impressed with the job it's doing with my clothes! It has a function that allows you to soak, wash, rinse, and spin, either independently, as a set of 2 functions, 3, or all functions. So it's basic, but still a real washer. UPDATE 10/9/24: This is a warning about a sharp edge inside the machine. I posted a picture of a rim on the inside that is coated in black. That isn't mold, it's remnants of my bra after it shredded it. My bra floated to the top of a level (H) wash, and as it went into the spin cycle, it shredded it. A picture of it is also posted. BE CAREFUL OF FULL LOADS WITH LIGHTWEIGHT ITEMS THAT MAY FLOAT LEAKS: As for leaks, I haven't had any problems so far 🤞🏻, but I'm being gentle with it, and I got an extended warranty. DRAWBACKS: 1. You can't use hot water washes. I imagine that by the weight and simplicity of the machine, the parts are mostly plastic. I don't know if this is the. reason, but I'm not chancing it and accidentally distorting or melting parts or gaskets. I also wait 15 minutes between washes to allow the machine to cool. This might not be necessary, but again, not taking any chances. UPDATE: You can use hot water, and I've been doing back-to-back washes for nearly a year, no issues! 2. You can only wash 8 lbs of clothes per wash. To put that in perspective: that's (2) pairs of jeans (maybe 1 depending on size), (2) pairs of underwear, (2) pairs of socks, and (2) tee shirts. However, that's perfect for 2 people doing laundry 2-3 times a week, and I have had no issue so far. THIS IS NOT A MACHINE FOR FAMILY USE! 3. It doesn't have any dispensers for anything. So you will need to fill it before adding detergent or bleach. TIPS: The machine has a double rinse regardless of the setting. The first rinse is at 20 minutes on the washer display, and the final rinse is at minute 8, that's when you should add fabric softener. I added it at the first rinse for about a week before realizing why my fabric softener wasn't working. UPDATE: Buy a downy ball, seriously! Hope this helps

While my apartment complex does have a communal laundry room, several other neighbors seem keen to flood it at least once a week. For hygeine and spoons purposes, I wanted something non-permanent I could have in my apartment. This washer is a little powerhouse. All of the issues I had while setting this up was at no fault of the product but the limitation of my apartment. Neither my kitchen nor bathroom sinks had compatible faucets for the water inlet no matter how many adapters I tried to add. So for a while, I was filling it with buckets of water. This is a valid option in a pinch, but be aware that if you want to recreate the wash->rinse->spin of a normal cycle, I had to manually start the wash, set it to spin, refill for a rinse, then set it to spin once more. Very tedious and takes many spoons, but doable. But I didnt want to do that anymore, so I did some research and found that if you get a 3/8 compression add-a-tee splitter, add it to your sink or toilet water line, and get yourself a 3/8 compression to 3/4 dishwasher hose, you can connect the portable washer directly to your water line. Renter friendly, took 5 minutes and some plumbers tape, and works like a charm. For my set up its only cold water, but that's fine for me. Stick an antivibration mat underneath and keep it a centimeter away from the wall, and the vibrations are pretty minimal. Im plus size and the washer can fit 2 of my shirts and 2 pairs of thick sweatpants easily. I only use a bit of detergent, just enough to cover the bottom of the bottle cap. Clothes are clean and smell fresh with no residue. The washer is small enough to fit in my small bathroom. I've done well over a dozen loads and it's held up great. Light enough to move around wherever you need it too. It's a great way to level up apartment living. Paired it with a portable dryer and now I'm golden.

Me encantó, cumplió con lo que necesitaba! Aunque algo cara!

I've had this washing machine for more than 2 years now and it still works perfectly. I never had a single issue with it and it cleans my clothes better than my mom's full size machine. It's perfect for my small apartment, size I don't have a dedicated laundry space. I store it in the shower when I don't use it (or the shower, obviously). It's just light enough to be transportable from room to room if needed and it has 2 convenient handles on the sides. I calculated that it paid itself in the first 11 months with the savings on laundromat. However, I think it's important to address a few things, since reading the other reviews (especially the 1 star ones) I noticed that some people don't understand some very obvious things about this machine. 1. It's a small washing machine. It's not meant to replace a full size machine. That means you shouldn't overfill it with a full load of clothes. On the high water level, it will wash 1 pair of pants and 3 shirts or 5 shirts or 2-3 pairs of pants. Anything more than that and it will either not clean well, spill over or break the spinner. It's too small for my full (double) bed duvet, but I can wash everything else, including my towels, blanket and sheets. It has a lint/hair collector on the side of the drum that works so well I wonder why full size machine don't have one! If you have the space and budget for a full size machine, buy a full size machine! However, for the size and price, you can't beat this one! 2. Contrary to what some say, it does not require any "installation". You just need to remove the black plastic piece at the bottom and packing foam, as it's just a stabilizer for shipping. Mine came with a notice telling me about it, but it seems that no everyone received one (or they discarded it without reading it). 3. Yes it's true, the water intake hose that comes with it will not fit on all western style faucets, but it's an Asian product designed primarily for the Asian market, so that's not too surprising. It does fit perfectly on my kitchen faucet after removing the aerator, but it doesn't fit on my bathroom faucet. You can to buy an adaptor if it doesn't fit. You can find them online, but it's best to bring the hose and the faucet aerator to a hardware store to find an adaptor that is compatible with both sides. Alternatively, it will fit on a gardening hose or you can just use a hand shower to fill it manually, like I do. 4. Some have said that the company doesn't sell replacement parts, which is true, but most of the parts are generic and commonly available online from different suppliers. I never needed to replace any, but I searched and easily found the belt, the motor, the pump and the inlet solenoid. 5. No, it doesn't dry the clothes, but it spins them fast enough that they are just damp and dry quickly on a clothesline or rack. I have no clue why so many people are confused and claiming it is falsely advertising that is dries clothes. There is nothing of the sort in the description! It even says "Please note: It can only do 80% spinning drying." I'm on the Canadian version of Amazon, so maybe it's different elsewhere... 6. Yes, the front yellow sticker is a pain to remove, but using a hairdryer on the warmest setting and a razor blade, it becomes much easier! 7. Some complained that it overflowed, but they either did something wrong (like filling it without pressing start) or they had a defective unit, because it has an automatic overfill sensor and will drain out if the water level is too high. I tested it and it drains faster than I can fill it! 8. Do not use hot water in it as it is not designed to resist high temperature. That being said, you can use up to 50C (122F) warm water, but it washes really well with just cold or lukewarm water! 9. Do not use too much soap or it will bubble over, as the agitation is quite vigorous! I use a quarter of what's recommended for a full load when filling it to the highest setting and it works fine. 10. No, it is not silent, but it isn't super loud either. When I close the bathroom door, I can just barely ear it. 11. Yes, it's build with plastic, but it's sturdy enough that unless you beat on it, it will not break. It has to be plastic, otherwise it would be too heavy to be portable.

Ça va faire bientôt 4 ans que j'ai ce lave-linge et il fonctionne toujours parfaitement. Aujourd'hui, j'ai ouvert le panneau d'accès derrière la machine pour vérifier si tout est en ordre. L'engrenage, qu'il soit en nylon ou en plastique, est en excellent état. Les tuyaux sont tout neufs. Aucun écoulement n'est présent. Je suis impressionné par la qualité de ce produit. Je dois admettre que je ne m'en suis pas servie toutes les semaines. Néanmoins, cela n'aurait pas eu d'incidence sur la qualité des tuyaux. Bref, n'hésitez pas à choisir ce produit. Je tiens à souligner que le service est aussi remarquable. Lors de ma première utilisation, un code d'erreur s'est manifesté. J'ai eu une conversation avec le vendeur et il était prêt à me le remplacer instantanément. C'était moi qui était responsable de l'erreur. N'oubliez pas de fermer le couvercle pendant le lavage. :) Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement le vendeur et le fabricant chinois. Je souhaite également, ardemment que mon pays, le Canada, et la Chine renforcent leurs liens d'amitié. J'ai également une pensée pour les habitants des États-Unis. Sanchez, que derrière nos actes de défense, même si vous nous trouvez faibles et bonasses, on ne se réjouit pas de votre situation.

It's very quiet, little to no shaking when properly leveled and holds a decent amount in it. This video shown is of the first load I did. The load had 2 pairs of socks, a pair of pants and 2 shirts, I think I could have put at least one of my hoodies in it as well, that's a respectable amount! No issues with assembly, there is a plastic plate that you screw to the bottom- you'll need your own screwdriver. My plate holes did not fully align, there's 2 that never matched up, however I screwed the rest in firmly and there is no rattling so no issue as far as I'm concerned. The provided adaptor did not fit, as expected after reading other reviews here, so I had to fill it by hand with a pot and keep an eye on it during spin/drain to give it more water when needed - it drones when it's trying to draw water and not getting any. Tedious for sure, I will find an adaptor that works before that drives me crazy. You can see the height of the drain vs. my sink and I found it to be too high, there was water pooling in the pipe when all was said and done and that was a watery lesson for me when I went to put it away. I think I will either find or make a suitable tray on wheels to give it the height it needs and eliminate that issue. If you have to fill it by hand, it won't start washing/spinning until it detects there's enough water in it. I was worried about overfilling it but it will start up and let you know. I am currently very satisfied, I normally pay $30 or more per month on laundry in this building so this will pay for itself very fast if it lasts. I will absolutely come back here to report if anything happens or in a few months to confirm my satisfaction, we shall see. *just coming back after a few days to point out that the washer to sink adaptor did actually work. Inside the larger opening to the adaptor is a foam band, you can remove that to reveal threads on the inside, which I did not know were there (thanks boyfriend!) and it fit on my sink just fine.

I love this machine. I've been using a dual tub for years because it's cheaper than going to the laundromat and I don't have to drag laundry there and back, saving gas too. But, due to it's dual tub, it is double the work. It was time to upgrade. I used the new machine today and now I'm spoiled. I put the new machine on a dolly so I don't have to kill myself moving it from one spot to another. I live in a small A Frame cottage rental with hookups for a full size washer and dryer, but I don't want the washer in my livingroom and the dryer hookup n the kitchen takes up precious space. I put an island there for extra storage. At the end of the island is where I store the new washer and my portable dryer which will also be going on a dolly as soon as I get it. What you see on top of the dryer are folding tables. The brown one is what I sit the dryer on but lifting it to the top of that thing is killing me, hence the dolly. The other folding table is my folding table. UPDATE; Feb. 26, 2026. Still using this same machine and it works like a charm. The only thing I would change is the amount of time it takes to do a wash. It's 40 minutes. Maybe not having a 2nd rinse cycle would save time and water.
