Garatic Portable Compact Mini Twin Tub Washing Machine w/Wash and Spin Cycle, Built-in Gravity Drain, 13lbs Capacity For Camping, Apartments, Dorms, College Rooms, RV’s, Delicates and more

This washing machine has been a wonderful addition to our apartment! (We don’t have laundry hookups and have to drive to the laundromat normally.) I love how easy this washer is to use. The loads are obviously small, but it’s never let me down. Don’t put in too many clothes and don’t use a lot of detergent and you should have no problems. I can do about 2 pairs of thick pants, or 5-6 shirts at a time. I have washed king size sheets and pillowcases also. You can wash towels but you will need a heated dryer to get them soft or fluffy again. I’ve had mine for months now and have no issues.The spin dry only takes about 2-3 minutes and the clothes are nearly dry. I hang them and usually they are completely dry within an hour or 2.I recommend you also purchase a floating lint trap to keep in the washer. They are inexpensive.I keep mine in the bathtub while washing because it’s easy to fill up and drain there. It’s really helped me and I’m so glad to have this washer!

I wasn't expecting too much, but because our washer broke down and it's going to be 3 weeks to get it fixed, I thought I'd give it a shot and I'm so glad I did.Firstly, this machine really cleans well. The agitator is very impressive. There isn't a rinse cycle, however, so you do have to fill it again and let it run through another wash cycle for a few minutes.Secondly, the spin side of the machine is small, but mighty. The clothes come out almost dry. Pretty impressive.The only issues I have are that the hose to fill the washer is pretty useless. It doesn't fit on any faucet we own. I just used a bucket to fill the washer -- once to wash and one to rinse. Also, the drain hose is pretty short. I just set the machine on my bathroom counter and let the hose drain into the sink. These two issues aren't deal-breakers, because the machine really does work well.I would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone needing a small, efficient washer. It does a couple of pairs of pants and a t-shirt or two per load. Excellent purchase, especially for the relatively low price.

I think it’s great if you need to clean an outfit or two in a pinch. The hose attachment for filling seemed a little small for my tastes but you can absolutely just pour water straight into the tub so it’s pretty quick to fill that way. Also the “dryer” is just a spin cycle which works as well as you would think depending on the clothing material’s absorbency. i.e pants take longer to get the moisture out but T-shirts take no effort at all. My only major gripe is that the drain process leaves a little water at the bottom so you really gotta keep it elevated to get it all out it and when it comes to lifting the machine, I wish the side handles were a little bigger/easier to grip. The weight distribution is obviously more toward the washer side and having to keep it elevated to drain makes me fear I or someone more disabled might drop it and hurt themselves. That aside, I think it was fairly decent for the price. It works pretty well and the cycles are really quick! If you’re okay getting a mini-workout for multiple loads or you only need a few small things washed at a time, then this is for you.

Update Jan 2022- Product stopped working. When I turn it on, it just makes a bunch of clicking sounds but the wash and spin tub do not spin at all.-----It’s a good, basic washer for small spaces. I find it easiest to use in the bathtub to avoid water splashing everywhere. My clothes seem cleaner than they do when I use the washer at the laundromat. The motor is mighty and agitates the clothes really well. It’s not too loud. I usually close the door to the bathroom and it sounds like a light hum. The timer sound is annoying though. The spinner gets clothes like 70% dry. I’m super impressed with it.Now on to the bad. There’s water that’s stuck in the machine somewhere and I’m sure it’s becoming a moldy mess in there which is driving me mad. Eventually it’s gonna start to smell. It doesn’t hold a lot of clothes. I knew the size before I bought it but it’s hard to understand how much it can hold. Right now it has 6 piece of exercise clothing in it and it’s at capacity. The clothes get tangled up a lot and you hear it grinding because it’s bunched up so I usually stop it and shift things around. The soft mode isn’t soft at all so it’s hard to wash delicates. I still have to put them in a pouch and they still get pretty beat up. The spinner is smaller than the washer so sometimes it takes to spin cycles to finish your wash. It doesn’t have a filter so you need to purchase something to put at the end of the hose when is draining the dirty water. Otherwise you’ll have lint clogging up your drain.That’s about it.

The media could not be loaded. I was really excited to finally get this I did quite a bit of research and read a lot of the reviews. I can truly say for me at least it works great it has saved me from using the local laundry here at my apartment also saves me from going to the laundry mat.The only problem I did have with it was that the spinning part or the washing part in the machine stopped twice. So I had to kind of figure out what was going on with that it seem like I had not enough water or too much water in one load. Another one is that it wasn’t registering that there was a load in there so it’s kind of hit or miss with this you just have to figure out how to work it correctly.The one thing that I don’t like is that the instructions are very vague so don’t bank on the instructions really helping you. What help me figure out some problems was actually talking to Amazon and then reading a lot of the reviews and the questions that people posted.In my video you can see one of the loads and how it turns you can see how much filth that actually gets off the clothes. It’s kind of fun and oddly satisfying to see how much dirt truly comes out of your clothes because with the regular washer you never get to see that.And the dryer part on it that spins of clothes works actually pretty good it just depends on the article of clothing you’re using. A few times I had to spin it twice but it does get the clothes about 80 to 90% dry. And then I hang them on my drying rack and it works wonderful.
