Auertech Portable Washing Machine, 28lbs Twin Tub Washer Mini Compact Laundry Machine with Drain Pump, Semi-automatic 18lbs Washer 10lbs Spinner Combo for Dorms, Apartments, RVs

I was apprehensive but this machine works excellent! Much better than I thought and easy to use! I think my clothes are much cleaner with this little machine than bigger ones or laundromats! Why? Because the rinse cycle in not included so I open it to look and I have control! The Agitator is strong and the spin cycle has very high revolutions per minute! A total surprise! THE WATER PUMP IS SUPER GOOD! I was so impressed at how fast it drains the water! Light weight and easy to use, I just put it in the shower and use the shower head to fill the washer and then just let it drain in the the shower! Could not be better

I use this in my apartment that doesn't have in unit laundry. We have onsite facilities but they're filthy and I'd rather not pay overpriced rates there either.I bought an extension cord to use with this as the attached cord is pretty short and I needed to fit the entire machine in my shower since my bathroom is so small. I leave the drain hose in the tub with a little mesh filter over it but tbh for some reason there's never really any lint in my hose filter or the built in machine filter. I use my showerhead to fill the washing tub and then to quickly rinse the clothes a little after draining the tub.There's a gentle setting and a normal setting. One just agitates the clothes more than the other. I haven't had issues with any clothes being damaged.Holds a lot of laundry. I do laundry once a week, just my clothing, a few towels, bedsheet, and pillowcases. I do the clothing together and then the towels and bedding together. The towels have to spin separately as they're heavy. Then I spin the bedding, then the clothing.Depending on what clothing is in there, you may not be able to spin it all together. For example, heavy clothing items have to be spun separately. You can spin a few heavy items together at a time and it's only 5 minutes per spin cycle. Obviously towels won't get fluffy if you spin and hang dry, they'll absorb just fine but be a little rough texturally.I hang dry my items on a rack after spinning. Spinning is absolutely necessary, you can't skip it or your items will drip water everywhere and probably get mildewy.Clothes come out great and fresh every wash and I like how much money I'm saving. The wash cycle is comparable to a dishwasher running but the spin cycle can get loud, like a blow dryer but obviously there are some floor vibrations. I am an upstairs neighbor so I try to be extra considerate and do laundry at the same time once a week (always early afternoon) to not annoy my neighbors.Only cons: Loud noise (unavoidable) and the machine does get water trapped, specifically in the drain hose. If you have to move the machine back and forth like me be careful to hold the drain hose upright and then loop it into the spin dryer to hold it upright or else you'll spill water.

I bought this to replace a dead super capacity HE top loading washer. I found that I didn't need a wash drum large enough to hold my entire family and I wanted a washer that would give me more control over the wash process.I'm happy with the washer. A surprising amount of laundry will fit into the wash side. The spin side holds not quite half as much. I don't use the filling hose for the wash side; it's very slow. Instead, I use a hose connected to the hot and cold hookups for my washer. That works fine and saves time. I like that I can see how dirty the wash or rinse water is and adjust the process accordingly. I can also choose to soak inside the washer for longer than 30 min -- the max my old washer would allow before auto draining for my safety. 🙄There are several features that would make this washer even better. The drain pump for the wash side does not automatically shut off. If you aren't careful about turning it off manually, you could burn out the pump. It would be nice to have that automated. The spinner is nice, but it doesn't spin as quickly as my spin dryer. I would actually prefer an option without the spinner and put the cost savings into a really fast, larger capacity spin dryer (Panda 22lb capacity, 3200 RPM spinner on my wish list). The lint catcher in the wash tub doesn't work well unless you add some sort of filter material. I use a piece of mesh produce bag wadded up and placed inside the lint basket as someone else suggested. I also swipe a mesh fish net used for aquarium fish to skim floating dog hair and fuzz from the surface of the water. It's low tech and surprisingly effective.Overall, this washer does a fine job washing clothes. The number of rinses and spin time can be adjusted as needed. The cost is far less than I would have spent on a larger, fully automated washer, and it was easy to carry downstairs and setup by myself ( I'm 50-ish and 5'4"). I'm pleased work this purchase and hope it will be with me for many laundry day.

Love love love my washing machine. I can even wash sheets and blankets. Twin size and the throw blankets. It is perfect size for me. I live on a boat. Slides right into my bathroom with ease and drains into the shower. My clothes come out pretty dry, you just have to hang them up. I definitely bought again. This one is huge compared to my first one.
