I had an 85 year old aunt in a 3rd floor apartment that used one of these for 5 years. She put a drying rack in her bathtub.

Thanks for the video brought back a good memory. Becky

Without sounding like a know-it-all but no-one is using this thing properly: You wash in the big tank. To rinse, transfer clothes to the spinner, spin. Then fill the spinner (cover the clothes) with water, that's why there's an inlet to the spun side, and do a short spin. Do this (probably twice more) until the water on your last rinse runs clear. Add softener to the last rinse water and finish with the long spin. Adding water as it's spinning isn't rinsing the clothes, it'll just get pumped straight out. Hope this helps x

I use it differently- spin the clothes to get a lot of soap out as the washer empties, refill with clean water, then put the clothes back into the washer part for a few minutes so the agitator clears the soap out. Repeat before spinning for the final time.

Had a like one when I was in the service. That was in 1970. Have looked foe one ever since. It was perfect.

Joe, how about after the wash cycle you refill with water and run again as a rinse cycle befor moving to the spin cycle

Hello there. I retired to the Dominican Republic and These machines are used everywhere because most can't afford regular machines. More and more people are in the last few years are getting regular machines but most still use these. Once you finish the wash after draining you REFILL the same side to rinse and fabric softener if desired. The smaller side (the right side) is for drying only. I hope that helps.

Thumbs up ,great buy...

Neat. Thanks for sharing!

We got one on Amazon for our motor home. It’s going with us next week to Colorado for the summer.

That is almost twice the size of the other twin tub units out there. The basic cycle is - WASH - SPIN Rinse - Full Rinse (back in the wash tub) - Final rinse in the spin dryer

Pour water over the cloths while it spins, it's like a rinse cycle;)

Nothin nicer than a fresh set of sheets, tees and socks eh. Nice unit bud. We do know how to haul dirt home eh, LOL.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the new machine I live in a country where traditional washing machines are outrageously expensive. We are a family of four and we use one like yours and a smaller one also. One important thing is if you fill the spinner up too much it will sometimes sling the clothes out. You will have to adjust your soap usage because it is not the same measurement as the soap manufactures recommendation. Oh and I love the spin cycle. We use a clothes line and our clothes are dry in about 15 minutes on good sunny days except for jeans

Not bad twin tub. This is the first type of washing machine I purchased, well the more heavy duty one and it did the job. Then, I got lazy and I bought an automatic one. I am yet to train the washing to jump on the line since us Aussies don't use the drier much :)

I've got an older one that actually works pretty well. I traded a dehumidifier for it. The spin side drains the wash side.

You have quite a following. I'm surprised you didn't read the instructions first. There's a weight maximum for the wash, The spin maximum is about 1/3 of the wash size. Overloading will damage the machine. Most people spin out the soapy water in the spin side, then refill the washer, agitate again to rinse out more soap, then spin again to remove all the soap.

I was leaning towards a larger 17lb Giantex (or sometimes called Costway) at first because it has good reviews, and it has a lint tray, along with the fact that it was only about $20 more. But the deep blue lids to the one I purchased was what I was going to look at every day so... I got mine for $79 on Google Express which offered a 20% discount for first time buyers. It linked to Best Choose Products, otherwise there would of been no discount if bought straight from them. I should receive it in a few days and can't wait. It's all about saving money and less steps to do laundry than going to the laundromat for me. Thanks for the video! Cheers!

Like I previously mentioned, I had one 40 years ago, how I rinsed the clothes was fill up the washer part again and run thru another wash to get all suds out, then put into the spinner to dry. try it cause it really works that way.

These machines are the same as a conventional washer only they are done manually. Conventional washers have cycles, wash,spin,rinse, spin. The water inlet on the rinse side is to allow spurts of water to help rinse off as much of the soapy water as possible just like a bigger washing machine does. Once the clothes are done with the first spin, you fill up the wash tub again with clean water, and start the rinse cycle. Then you give the clothes the final spin, and get ready to hang to dry.

i've had my portable washer for about a year now and would like to give a tip, when you do ur wash for the 15mins and let the water drain then run a second wash an add fabric softener. this will rinse the clothes and make them less stiff if hanging to dry.

YOUR subpost to put the clothes after the spin back in the washer to rince. Then back in the spin.

We have one, works great.

We haven't used top-loading washing machines in the UK since the 1970s (I remember my grandmother used to have one). We've been using front-loaders for decades - another one of those odd differences on the opposite sides of the pond. We invariably boil water for hot drinks in electric kettles too!

You can be sure of a clean machine. The added plus is you don't need to sit and do nothing while your clothes wash. They can be found for under $100, in fact I got mine for $89 with free shipping from WaMart online. They go a great job. I also want to add, I used mine heavily and had farm grime too.

She washed and drained and then added water and rinsed and then drained then added fabric softener and water and then only agitated it. She would then take the clothes out prior to draining the left side and then put them in the spin dry side and spin dry them. The reason for this is because yes this washer set up cleans very well but it also creates a LOT of lint. By pulling the clothes out on that last time before draining more of the lint would stay in the water and not collect on the clothing. After all the clothes were out of the agitator side and in the spin dry side she would then drain the side that just agitated the clothes. I hope that made sense because I had to ask her twice to explain it. Lol.
