Giantex GT24267-PE 20lbs Spinner Combo, 12lbs 8lbs Spinning, Compact Twin Tub Mini Washer for Apartment RV Dorms, Blue & White Portable Washing Machine

I waited a couple months to write this review because I wanted to really see if this would work well and how it would hold up. So here is my honest review.Delivery: It came on time but the box was very damaged by the rain. (I take blame for that because I didn’t check the forecast) lol. It also came upside down (granted I live on the 3rd floor) so I feel for that delivery person who had to carry that big box up 3 flights of stairs in the pouring rain. So overall delivery was good under those circumstances.Assuming the machine: There is none. I just took it out of the box as soon as possible because of the rain. You have the option to hook it up to your sink, kitchen faucet and or shower head. I never hooked it up to a water source so all I had to do was plug it in.Machine: The machine has 3 knobs on the front for the washing timer, drain and the spinning timer. The machine did come a little dusty and had scratches on the top and there is one random screw poking out from the bottom. Other than that the machine looked good.How to use. The way I have mine set up is the washing machine is in my bathroom next to the tub. I didn’t want to put it in the tub because I don’t want the water to go up under the machine and become damaged. So, I bought a washing machine/ refrigerator stand to make it taller. I also bought bed risers to make it taller so the hose could clear the bath tub since it uses gravity to drain the water out. I have a long shower head that I use to fill it up with water and rinse the clothes. All you need to do is put your clothes in, fill the machine up with water and then add your detergent (you do NOT need a lot of detergent). Then select you washing time (left knob) then there is an option for normal soft and drain (middle knob) I always keep it at normal and then drain when I need it. The right knob is for the spinning timer. Final thoughts: I am extremely happy with the machine. It works great and really gets your clothes clean. Not only is it easy to use but I have saved so much money. I’m saving on detergent and instead of spending so much money/time at the laundry mat. I am so happy that I purchased this machine it’s exactly what I wanted. If you are looking for a portable washing machine then this is the one for you.

This product broke in 2 months, don’t buy

This washer/dryer was the perfect machine I ne for our family of 7. It lasted way longer than I thought it would with the abuse we put it through day in and day out. Very easy to use. Not very noisy. Cleaned clothes well. It could've been a little taller, but fit well in our bathroom. It was crazy how fast it spun. We still had to do a bit of air drying to ensure they were completely dry, but for the most part it was well worth it. Great buy!

I bought this washer on February 3, 2024. Since I live in an old studio in a condominium, so space is limited. Granted it would make for a snug fit, but it is well worth it for me. If I could give this washer 10 stars I would. Average frequency has been two loads a week.After the wash, I usually like to rinse for one cycle before the last cycle which I add Downy Fabric Softener. I discovered that you can wash a load and dry at the same time. Just make sure that you don't overload the dryer. I use the Amway SA8 detergent and it keeps my clothes really clean. The spin dryer dries my laundry surprising well. I dry the laundry on adjustable shower rod placed diagonally in my shower. I secure the clothes with a hanger and clothes pins. I have a blower fan aimed at the shower stall to dry the laundry more quickly.There are two ways you can do a large load:I. Reduce the load to the maximum size capacity of your dryer.A. This way you can wash a load and spin dry it at the same time.II. Do a full wash loadA. Put ½ load in spin dryer1. Push the wet laundry in the washer to one side.2. After the ½ load driesa. put it in the washer on the opposite side of the wet laundryb. Then put the balance of the wet load into the dryer.That being said I did have to make some modifications to the design. I noticed that some negative comments came from the drain hose. I assumed the breakage came from the angle and the amount of pressure the hose exerts when draining. I decided to elevate the washer high enough so that the drainage hose would be like a straight line so that it can be free flowing without restrictions. I used a 5 gallon bucket to keep the hose level going into my shower. To date, no leaks. Yay!I did not like how much fibers that was coming out of the drain hose. To remedy this, I tied on a nut filter to make milk (nylon not cotton). To secure it more tightly, I used a Velcro strap and it works great! I clean the nut filter every two weeks. I wait unit it's dry, turn it inside out then remove the lint into the trash with a nylon brush. I use the dryer lid to hold the hose in place.Side note to the photos attached. I’m using a Coleman Cooler (any brand will do) because it seemed sturdy enough to handle the weight of a washer full of water. I put a foam mat on the top of the cooler avoid it from siding around. To further secure the washer, I used Velcro and tied it to the bath towel holder directly behind the washer. The wall is solid concrete, so it’s not going anywhere.My main focus was to save money and have cleaner clothes. The laundry room is convenient but costs a lot. My washer provides much more agitation then the building has. I couldn’t believe how dirty the water was after the first wash.I hope this helps. Life is short so remember to have fun out there.

I really was expecting something to not work right with this washer but it works great! The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the hose that connects the washer to the faucet doesn't connect to my faucet but I found it's quicker to fill the washer with water using a pitcher of some kind. I've used it probably 30 loads by now and it's still working fine, knock on wood lol. I highly recommend this washer for people like me who live in an apartment that doesn't have a washer and dryer hookup.
