If it’s in the bathtub probably will just seem like a bath or shower running. Doesn’t seem to shake or make much noise. However I don’t see how this would be against a contract in any way,it’s not like an actual washer dryer are being installed and messing with electrical wires or the walls or anything. Putting down a couple towels or fabric might help with the vibrations too.

Eric, I just use a pitcher to pour water in the hole during the spin cycle for "rinse and spin". It keeps me from having to transfer back to the washer side to rinse them. I pour for a minute or two while it's spinning and then stop pouring and let it spin without water for another minute or two.

That is exactly what I thought too when he poured water into spin cycle. Why not just add more water, stop for a minute or two, restart spin cycle and it’s all in one step and probably doesn’t need as much water as the larger tub. I would wash the less dirty clothes first and save the water from the rinse cycle to use for next "dirtier" load. Going to buy this now to use in my van.

Great demo. I purchased a Costway washer/spinner unit in 2016 off Amazon for about $80 with free shipping. Same exact unit as yours. People complain about Chinese products, but I've been very pleased with this. And I find that it you want something small that works, buy it from China. They seem to understand small appliances, and the need for small things that work. Americans go the other way, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves all have to be huge. People in Europe, the far East and China prefer appliances that are small, but work and last a long time. I've had my unit and use it about once a week, and have had no problems at all. Have fun in your travels.

I have the same machine for our camper. To save on water, we reuse the rinse water for a second load when we do multiple loads. I also love that I can put my kids fuzzy blankets in this. Although on the down side we can't put a comforter in it, but we are extremely glad we have it. Camping with 4 children under 9, we accumulate alot of laundry.

13:20 In summer open the windows then you can use rubber gloves make sure they don't have a hole or you'll burn/hurt your skin then use chlorine cleaner or whatever it's called in the US and soak paper towels in it and put them on everything that looks like mold or water residue (the yellowish stuff). Make sure it is well ventilated and don't stay in the van for that time. Unfortunately it might take up to 12 to 48 hours depending on the dirt buildup so make sure you do it during a good weather period. Worked in well for my silicone seals in my bath and it works on black mold in the bathtub. Not very environmentally friendly but maybe you can find another easy fix.

Dilute the chlorine bleach by 50% and put it in a spray bottle for God's sake. Or better yet, much better yet, just use white vinegar. Full strength in a plastic spray bottle. Vinegar is 5% acetic acid so it is a natural agent that kills mold, mildew, fungus, Etc. You can also use it in place of Roundup to kill grass and weeds! It won't cause cancer and is much much cheaper.

Wow! Also to have more space, you could hang the wet clothes on plastic hangers around on the portable clothes dryer and hang lots more. Thanks for sharing this video... so informative ...and esp thank you for not using bad words! So many videos start out with good information but halfway thru the person starts using curse words. Turns me off right then idc how much information they want to share. Thanks again. 😊

i bought this machine it washes very good BUT the washer tub spinner has an open metal screw in the center that makes small holes in my cloth/ not every wash but its gamble- there are other machine out there with solid centers, so becareful to which one you purchase - i have to buy another one- wish some one had posted it- but now i can save every one else clothes from being cut up.

Hey Eric. Wouldn't be faster if you just drain the water from the big drum and refill it with clean water, wash again to get it rinsed and then just spin it once?

Yes, and I'm a laundry expert. It's all about the rinsing; just leave it in there and refill with clean water THEN spin and you're done. Okay, I'm not really an expert.. but I play one on tv. :)

The soaking wet clothes from the wash cycle will still have a lot of soap in them. If you spin all the soapy water out of them, there will be less soap to try and rinse out.
@Noniksleft
@Noniksleft 5 лет назад
faster but not rinsed anywhere near as good when you need to keep water use to a minimum, you are better to spin, wet a little bit, spin, wet again, spin, wet again, spin as many times until satisfied that it's rinsed well enough.

My Tiny Beach House, I have one and I would suggest getting one that doesn’t require you to rinse and spin it separately. it gets labor intensive for me because I’m in an apartment and don’t have any other way of filling it up without a bucket. So it’s a lot of filling, carrying and lifting water. I’d prefer one tub that washes, rinses and spins in one tub. Other than that I don’t really mind it but if you’re older your back might ache.

@RevealtheReal - I agree. I lived in my 26' travel trailer for 2 years. I have a Haier that's all in one. I loved it. Since it doesn't have two compartments, it's smaller. I am in an old house now, which came with a wash machine. But I was thinking of using the little one again to save energy as well as dry time. I also have one of those (wooden) expandable dry racks. They work great as well.

Grannieannie F, I use a portable dryer device that comes with a rack and a a “tent” to cover it with the dryer (basically heater) inside. Made in China not the best way to dry.
@illbeyourstumbleine
@illbeyourstumbleine 5 лет назад
If you place a dehumidifier in a small enclosed space. Say like a closet or a small bathroom or shower with hanging racks. It will dry your clothes and very cheaply. We have been doing that for years and we have a dryer. It just saves us money and it is good for the environment. We have a hanging system in a pantry space. A whole room will get done in about 2 to 3 hours. It would take twice that and 10× the electricity to do that with a normal dryer. Real game changer! Mom of 5 wanting to share the fails and successes haha! Hope it helps!

I’ve got this machine, actually an older version of it. I live off grid and have been using it for a couple of years. Always works well, never failed me yet. It fits queen size bedding in it easily. I’ve got a big top loader that I use every couple of months for washing blankets and such, have to run the generator for that though.

I want to buy this washer. already did reviews on it, sounds real good. hate having to spend nearly 8.00 for laundry every week at our apartment laundry facility. it adds up over time. could pay for itself in a few month's time. great!! how does this do with fitted and regular sheets? can I do a set of double sheets in it at once??
@charlottewadkins986
