how to use giantex portable washing machine & dryer | is it worth it?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hey guys!
best amazon finds 2022! everyone always asks me about my giantex portable washing machine and dryer combo so I thought I'd make a video on it. It works great and holds large loads. I 10/10 would recommend this brand. Portable washing machine is great for small apartments, nyc apartments and never have to go to the laundromat again!

I live in an apartment with no elevator and I'm arthritic. It was a hassle for me to climb stairs not to mention going into an unsecured basement without security cameras and an unsecured entrance to the building. My son gifted me with this exact model and I'm thrilled with it. It washes really good and it practically spin my clothes half dry.

Thank you so much for this video! I just got myself one these for small apartment and I am beyond excited! Happy washing 🥳🤩
I have a GIANTEX brand washing machine for my suite and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! It saves me so much money and time and effort. I use one Tablespoon of liquid detergent per load and cold water (I use HOT for towels, etc). The hydro cost is $5 a year!! The convenience for this is immeasurable ❤❤
“Towels come out cripsy” 😂 Yeah I grew up in an apartment with only a washer cause dryers were a fire hazard (government housing). And we had clothesline and luckily i lived in a dry climate so it was wayy better to air dry anyway. We didnt care we put our underwear out there, no one ever stole our clothes.
my mom and I have this washer and the same issue with the hose not connecting to the faucet. Do you know if manually filling the washer once is good enough for the fast setting you demonstrated in your video or does the water supply have to be running to the washer the whole time? Thanks for any feedback.
can you please link the water hose and attachment you bought ? I went to home Depot and the one they gave me it's still leaking
I got washer machine problems so glad I found your vid love your intro

There is a "Softener Box" in the balance ring, really easy to see when you open the machine and see 4 drain opening on top of the tub ring. It is advisable to pour the softer in the beginning if you are using program 2-Standard, 3-Fast, 7-Wash & Rinse and 8- Rinse and Spin. These Programs have only 1 Rinse cycle and works fine. If you are using a different Program that has double rinse like 1-Normal, wait until the machine finished the first rinse, pause, add the Softener to be released in the final rinse. It works Great when one is Air drying like me. GREAT Machine! I am Really Happy with mine. 👍
