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.

YOU, (and your kitty) are so appreciated ! You are a gem of a man. Showing us all how to do laundry ; environmentally friendly, efficiently, effectively and practically! Bravo to you, sir!
My partner and I had been thinking about getting one of these. After seeing your awesome video we immediately ordered one! Thanks for the great demonstration. This company should be paying you for such a great job advertising and demonstrating their product.
Love this one, we had one in our house, we used it while we were waiting for a part for our machine, took three months to arrive, we still use this for small loads, and to take away with us, worked better than our Maytag
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 saw this video a year ago and it was the last thing that made me convinced I needed one of these. Got one in January hadn’t used it for my off grid lifestyle yet but my washing machine broke 2 months ago and I have been using this until I get a new one and I am OBSESSED!!! I seriously enjoy watching it do it’s thing! It’s a powerhouse! I didn’t get this model but I got a ZENSTYLE from Walmart at $73 and honestly has been the best thing I’ve probably ever bought!
Terrific video. We never considered a washer for our extended trip coming up, but you may have changed our minds. Nifty unit. Thanks, Eric.
Interesting! this was the exact washing machine model my family had 10 years back in India.Growing up I did laundry with this type of machine only bigger in size.We had it for almost 15 years!! the machine never gave trouble more than once.Wish now we have long lasting products now.Thanks for bringing back the memories.

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.

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.
Looks exactly like the machines I saw in Asia. I'd like to see more stuff like this in our home improvement stores simply because of the minimalism
Always love your refreshing presence and generous meaningful sharing , Eric! You and Jax really keep it happenin'! = grin = This seems just right for what I'm looking for as I prepare to "hit the road" ( with my notions of being a late-bloomin' troubadour and such) and hadn't seen anything satisfactory for a washer--till now!

Please read my review of this machine. For a slightly different perspective.
Many years ago I had a washing machine designed like this one, I was so excited to see one on Amazon! I love it. I use it every day in my small apartment.
That is amazing, I use to have one, 20 plus years ago, so glad there still out there, great for your RV to.
Thank you!! What a great demo, and out in the daylight, we see it very well, and just run the water in from the hose. Gonna get this!! (but now, two years later, the price has shot up by double for some brands.) Thanks for posting!
Back in the 70s Hoover made a washer like this. The Hoover was made of steel and quite heavy. I used it for years. I bought a washer like this recently to carry with me while camping. The machine is light and works fine for needs.
Thanks for your professionally done vid. This shows EVERYBODY rv living can work for anyone that has the need.
Thanks for this.. watched last night then found and bought a similar mini washer and spinner today for under 70GBP for my Motorhome (RV).. Cheers Eric 👍
This is the video that started my viewing you, Eric, on your channel. Plus I bought this washer right after seeing you and I agree, I love it.
Thank you so much for this very thorough and informative video! So glad you took the time to make it and give us this great opportunity to see how it all works.
love the presentation, in the UK those clothes airers are really common as we lack space in our home's as well as our Motor Homes ( RV) so they are convenient, thanks washer looks like a must for us, just bought one now on Amazon Yeah!!
I have one of these and absolutely love it. I bought it when I had a load of laundry stolen a laundromat. Only $70 on Amazon and had it for 3 months still working great!
Thank you for reminding me of this style of washer. When I was stationed in England many, many moons ago, we had the same style of washer, only a bit larger. Saved three years of going to a laundromat or having to wash by hand.
I got one just like this and used it for the first time today! Very cool gadget. Surprised and pleased it is as quiet and powerful as you demonstrated. Thx. NF. 🍁💯
I am getting one today!!! Thank you sooo much for showing me this !!! Love it !!!
Great video. I like how you showed how you can use the solar.
Great Demonstration -Great Vibe! 🧦👖👕 It's good to leave the lid up for a while after done washing to air out the machine to avoid mold or funky smell.
Eric, you explain things very well. I was not aware that something like this was available. Thanks for the video.
It even matches your bath rug...how cool is that:-)
Such a great video, Dude! This is the perfect solution if one had enough solar power. Thank you!! Also, any man who has a cat is my kind of soul!! Love your kitty!!
I was so happy to see you use and eco friendly soap. I also want to buy this washer now. Thank you for the video.

I've seen various versions over the years and the one you have has captured my interest into getting one for my 05' 31 ft Drive Way Commando Paperweight, aka Sun Seeker 3100 RV once I've saved up enough cash to take her out for a few weeks seeing America. Happy Trails!!!

Growing up in San Antonio, Texas, my mother had a drying rack like that . In winter we would put it over the floor furnace.
Dude! I grew up with twin tub washing machines! We didn't know about front loading or top loaders till mid 80s. I can't find them anymore! They were great,you would do the less dirty stuff first then keep the water for next load and rinse the clothes in the spin.

I saw this video of yours probably a month ago. I LOVED your demonstration on this washer/spinner. I live in a tiny house! A shed I purchased and my son converted into a home for me. But I have been carrying my laundry next door to my daughters house for 4 years!! I am so sick of doing that (I’m 61 years old with a bad back). The night I saw your video, I binge watched so many videos on this washer and many more! But I could never find your video again. 😢 Tonight I bumped into a guys video, calling himself Camo Dave. He mentioned you (Nomadic Fanatic) for 2 seconds, about how big your RV is. I got so excited! Cause I thought you looked like the guy. So I searched your videos (you’ve done a couple of them, washing clothes). When I saw that Blue and White hand towel, I knew you were the one that explained this washer better than any of the others. I just wanted to say thank you and again.... WOW! The way I bumped into your video again, I couldn’t have found you this way by searching. Believe me! I’ve been searching. Anyway, that was too funny!

Wow. I was just looking at those for my apt.!!
You used to be able to buy exactly the same machine style that was full sized and ran on mains power it would also save your rinse water to be used for the next wash it was made by Hoover and available in Australia but I haven’t seen on in over thirty years they were fantastic and used so little water back in a time when people didn’t think about saving waterthey had a spray rinse set up
What a great little washer! Thanks for sharing this! This will be a must have for when I get my rv set up.

Thanks for the Demo,.. I would have run a rinse cycle before spinning,.. Just personal Choice.
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! Thank you for that demonstration that is a very nice washer and dryer and just think it is all plastic that’s crazy I love it!.

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.

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.

He's just doing the cycles like a big washing machine does. Clean, spin, rinse, spin.
Suddenly, laundry day is just that little bit more fun.....I never thought I would hear someone with a Ramstein Tat be talking about eco friendly soap !! :-)....subbed
I love your videos, they always make me happy. Love your personality.
It's been a year since you posted about this washer. Have your thoughts on it changed? Any updates? It looks like a great washer, curious to know how it's held up after a year of use. Thanks for the detailed video on it!

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.

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!
How many Watts ?
Great job Eric! I always wondered why more people don't use them. I know I will. Thanks.
