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

I've had this about a month and I use it all the time. I live in a small apartment and can't get to the laundromat every day to wash my work uniform, so this is perfect. It's not as loud as I was expecting based on the other comments, but it does shake and wants to rotate the entire machine when in the spin cycle, but that can be avoided by either holding it down with your hand or placing it in the styrofoam base that it ships in. The tube for filling it with water that comes with it doesn't fit on any faucet in my apartment (it's small and made of inflexible plastic), but seeing as how I place it in the tub anyways, my regular showerhead hose works just fine. I would do what others have said here and only add a little detergent (like, half a Tide pod, not a whole one), otherwise you'll have to rinse way too many times.The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a lint trap, and when you take your (clean) clothes out, they still have hair and schmutz all over them, requiring either a lint roller after drying or some of those little velcro-covered ping pong balls (they sell on eBay for like a dollar or two, just search "laundry balls") to be thrown in with the clothes during washing to collect the fuzz.I did have a small issue when I first set it up. I plugged it in and turned the dial and heard a noise, but nothing else happened. I emailed the company and the emailed back the next day asking me to send a video so they could see what was happening. Turns out, I just needed to reset my outlet, but I was impressed at the quick response from the company and their willingness to help.Overall, well worth the money and I HIGHLY recommend it.UPDATE: I've had this for several months now and used it many times. The only issue I have with it is that the cord isn't long enough to reach my bathroom outlet (which really isn't far from my tub, so it's a pretty short cord), meaning that I have to use an extension cord with a converter in order to get it to reach, and because I'm using an extension cord with a converter, to outlet trips every couple minutes, meaning I have to keep going into the bathroom repeatedly to reset the outlet and start the machine again. Super annoying when you're trying to do other things while your clothes are washing. But, not a dealbreaker.Other than that, it works great and clothes come out clean and smelling good. Still wish it had a lint trap, but those little velcro laundry balls work well enough for that. Still a great product and I don't regret spending the money on it at all. Highly recommend!

Washes and rinses fairly wellSpinner is uselessIf you squeeze the water out by hand the clothes are drier than the spinner is able to doThis is a revisionThe second time I used this the belt fell off 3 times then it blew the fuse. Tech was pretty good but I can not trust something that shorts out under normal useElectricity and water do not mix at the best of times. I will not use this again. You would be wise to choose a different product

This would be perfect for camping! It handles small loads well. For the spin cycle you do need to put less in the spin basket for it to be effective but the basket does a great job. It is easy to use and could be a good investment for a small apartment.

The machine is worth the money, it washes well, but it doesn’t rinse things and I have to do it manually. In the photo it seems larger, in reality it is very small, but you can wash enough things. I also bought it because free shipping was indicated. but they never delivered it to my home, I had to go to another place and pick it up. delivery doesn't work ☝️

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 Amazon. 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 8-12-18I 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 3-8-19Wound 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.

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.

This little machine works surprisingly well and is very convenient for quickly washing a few clothes. That said, it’s best suited for small loads—about 2–3 T-shirts or several undergarments at a time. I did manage to wash a pair of jeans once, but I won’t be doing that again! The challenge wasn’t so much the washing as it was spinning the heavy load afterward—though I eventually figured out the technique after a few tries.Because of its compact size, the centrifugal force during the spin cycle can cause the machine to “walk” or move around. During my first few washes, I had to awkwardly hold it down the entire time. The key is to evenly distribute the weight around the spin basket before starting the cycle. This won’t completely eliminate vibration, but it helps keep the spin smooth and steady enough to let it run on its own.Overall, it’s a good product that performs as advertised. Just avoid running multiple full cycles back-to-back, as the motor tends to get warm even after a single use.
