The BEST Portable Washing Machine Available. Danby DWM17WDB Washer Overview and Demo
This thing cleans clothes so much better than the new "high efficiency" washing machines that use spinning discs to gently swoosh clothes around. The Danby cleans like the washer I grew up with, and is built better than most portable washers. Ideal for spaces that don't have dedicated washer hookups, because it hooks up to any standard faucet (it comes with an adapter).

I bought one from Walmart, first one got damaged upon delivery, now have the second working one. I absolutely LOVE the machine. Even the light wash cycle is great for most heavy washes. Extremely quiet when level* during the spin cycles. * Machine must be Level ! It's fantastically quiet, I can talk on the phone or have a normal conversation at any point during the wash cycle, whilst a mere 2 feet away from it. It cleans fantastically! A really, really good machine, with the good old agitator, a must have for good cleaning not, that stupid wish-it-washed plate on the bottom. Get one whilst you can..!
this is a very good video. i'm a single elderly person in need of a new washing machine but i don't need one that is built for a big family. i will check this out further. thanks for sharing this with us!!!
INCREDIBLE MACHINE! We bought this exact washer primarily on this video and the other "Load o' Laundry" video . . . . WOW! GREAT videos dude . . . they did exactly what they should. They showed the washer working and pointed out it's features, etc. Your video sold one! BTW . . . . in our initial runs today, the machine was no more than 73db during the wash cycle. Easily the quietest washing machine we've EVER owned. We got it from Office Depot online for $315 . . . less than $350 with shipping via freight to our door.

Thanks! I'm glad you're happy with it! Over a year later, mine is working like the day I got it. I hope yours treats you guys well! The only update I added to mine, was a zip tie loop around the drain hose, to easily hook it back onto the machine after use.

Holy Crap, I didn't know it had a lint filter! There was nothing about it in the owner's manual. I just checked mine, found it, and cleaned it for the first time. Thanks! Mine is a Danby Designer (16 years old) and still works great. Last year I replaced the drain hose (a little leak midway) and the filler valve (cold water wouldn't come in) and now it runs like new. I'm going to find a space for it in my RV. Jon
I bought one of these based on this review and it's the best purchase I've ever made. No complaints, this thing is great! I extended the drain hose with a 6 foot dishwasher hose. Also, I extended the water hose by coupling(3/4 inch) the two hoses together. Great machine and thanks for the review!

Old video but still good.. Great portable washing machine.. Wish these were around about twelve years ago.. I lived in a small apartment accross from the beach.. It had No washer/dryer hookups, and No laundry facilities on the premises.. Every Saturday I had to take time to go out to do my laundry, and the local or nearest laundromat was way downtown in a very busy area with only street parking.. This would had made life so much easier. The Dandy does a great job and quiet too..

I bought a Danby portable dishwasher... I was expecting mediocre results but better than just hand washing... OH BOY that was by far the best Dish washer I ever had. Cleans so much better than all the full size high end ones I ever used. I could never expect Danby to be so good.
Use white vinegar in your wash and it will take out stains, remove extra detergent and make your clothes softer and static free. For a smaller washer you will probably use only 1/4 cup or less in the wash. It takes hair off dark clothes as an extra benefit.

The machine is overfull. Three large towels is too many. Overloading your machine will cause unnecessary wear on the moving parts. Danby is a division of Maytag, and they do make amazing portable machines, but it is just a machine after all, prone to wear. We had a Danby portable dryer that ran for over 20 years with no issues or repair required. They stopped making them for 2 decades. I just purchased a new Danby dryer, and have ordered a washer. I'm excited. Thank you for sharing your review of the machine.

Been using a small Haier washer. Ok for bicycling/workout clothes. Laundromat otherwise. Replaced belt on motor when spin cycle faded and then failed a couple years ago. Spin cycle fading again. Had the Haier for years, so time to replace. What to get? Searched on the web and this Danby was an option. Reviews? Ran a google search and found this video. MANY thanks for a stellar review! All the details we needed in the context of real-world use. Our new DMW17WDB washer arrived yesterday. Holds more laundry than we thought. And works even better than expected. The center agitator makes a HUGE difference. Not a full-size washer. But definitely a big step up from our Haier.

You can use white vinegar as a softener which helps with static as well as helping to rinse out any excess soap. You can also get ventless kit things too that work.
I don't understand why watching clothes wash is so satisfying to me 🤔
Reminds me of the old family GE big machine, just scaled down. The integrated removable lint filter is different. The GE had a round lint filter that fitted over the top of the agitator and served as a dispenser for powder detergent. BTW, I watched a demo of a Haier machine before this one and it vibrated and made noise on the spin cycle. The Danby is a BIG improvement over that one.
To keep air-dried clothes from coming out too stiff, use WHITE VINEGAR. It also helps them rinse better. I like to do a second wash with just cold water and a cup of white vinegar. It's also an odor killer for socks, underwear and shirts.

I'll have to try that! Does using vinegar leave the distinct odor of vinegar in the clothes afterwards? P.S. If you're this hardcore, ditch toxic dryer sheets! They coat your clothes in a waxy coating of poison. I have no interest in wearing that!
@yootoob4516

There is a slight odor of vinegar, but nothing after drying. I air-dry clothes -- only use the dryer if I need something in a hurry or something has a lot of lint (towels, flannel sheets). I never used dryer sheets. I don't have many items which contain acrylic or polyester, so I don't have static cling issues.
When I air dry my towels completely, 5 minutes in the dryer on low will soften them up nicely.
I have the Panda 15lbs mini washer. I love it. I fill my machine with a bucket and I let my water drain into a bucket. The spin dyer is great. The close come out nearly dry. I hang them up and they completely dry in no time.
I have similar but has the disk you you mentioned. Mine cleans excellent,use very little water and spins the clothes almost dry. Best purchase ever.
The reason for the lid folding over is so that you can install a dryer over the washer and the lid will clear the dryer, without you having to put the dryer too high.
When it comes to laundry, the best decision I ever made was getting rid of all my full-size bath towels and using hand towels to dry off. I can wash all my hand towels at once and still have room for other items. Plus, it dries me off just fine.
I purchased mine at Home depot 4 years. I absolutely love it. It's quiet, washes, rinses and spins wonderfully. I think it works just as well as the bigger washers, if not better. My sister on the other hand purchased a lemon. We bought ours on the same day. Her motor burnt out 2 months after later. IMPORTANT!!! Don't forget to pay a few dollars extra for insurance, one never knows. Buy it!! You wont regreat it!👍

Hi nice video about your washer! Seems to do an excellent job that washing clothes!! You can still get that model of washer!
Thanks for broadcast! The old fashion washers had wider find on the bottom of the agitator that's what drew the clothes down so they agitated better!
Thanks for a very informative video. I have a much more basic compact washer (twin tub with agitator and spin dryer). I love it and it does a great job, but I wanted to see what was available in the higher price ranges (mine is right at $100). I'll stay with mine for the time being but wanted to give you a big thanks for your tip, right at the 2:05 mark. I have the same problem with my drain hose and have not found a decent solution. I basically hung the hose on its clip on the side of the machine with a bowl under it to catch any unexpected drains until I would drain the machine at the end of the cycle. I think I am fairly resourceful but your idea was simple and perfect. I've done five loads of laundry since I watched this a few days ago and everything is a much smoother process.
I like how you can hook it up to your sink! Great video!!!
You are right that agitator really whips those towels around and spins great.
Sears used to have the apt. style washers. I bought sink hookups for mine. It was a bit larger. I had rollers on it and I would store it near dining room bar on a piece of wood I made that had lips on all sides except one.
love that classic agitator!

I could not imagine a apt, house, or any other living space w/ out a Washer/Dryer hookup. I have an older front loading set from Whirlpool, and I could not imagine not having those things. They make laundry easy and no problems. I'm not saying this review of this washer is bad, its a great alternative, but I need a full size washer and dryer to keep up with 7-9 loads a week. I do not have alot of time to do laundry so spending 30-50 minutes a day to wash and put them in the dryer is fine with me.

Agree with you ...those low profile agitators don't work worth shit. Wondering if this sprays fresh water during spin cycle? My Kenmore from around 2000 doesn't have that spray function but it works as beautifully as it did the day it came out of the box. It shows no sign of wear owes me nothing. I run it on permapress so it does the main wash.drains half. refills.finishes wash.fully drains & spins. refills, rinses and then drain & spin. I then run half an additional wash cycle to make up for not having fresh water spray during spin. BTW an advantage to roll-to-the-sink machines is that they use one spout *unless you have it in a laundry room connected to two faucets -I have ALWAYS run HOT WASH/HOT RINSE ...I use Liquid Downy to protect colour and then tumble dry on LOW/DELICATE for a short period of time. Whatever the cost of using hot water is MORE than offset by the short drying time at low temperatures ....rinse in cold water and your dryer has to work THIRTY MINUTES just to get the temp up to luke warm The dryer is where fading and elastic deterioration take place ...I have deep coloured 15 year old towels that are only JUST beginning to show wear in plushness ...the colour is like new. The ONLY things I don't wash in hot water are SILK & LEATHER. I even wash wool in hot water and block it to dry. Don't know where this fad of washing in cold water came from ....want to do an experiment? Try cleaning BY HAND something oily or inky with cold water and any detergent ...then try the same type of stain using hot water and NO DETERGENT -you'll get most of it out!! IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD for detergent manufactures to say you'll save money and get just as clean clothes in cold water ...you won't ...and if the detergent is THAT STRONG ...you're clothes are going to be worn out quickly. Cold water detergents however perform even better in hot/warm water PLUS you use FAR LESS. If anyone wishes to fact check something I learn years ago when I considered writing a book: The Science of Cleaning ...agitation of clothes in the wash cycle beyond TEN MINUTES redeposits the dirt onto the clothes ...if they are that dirty do two shorter washes and be sure to measure your detergent NOT by how much water you use but by the dry weight of the laundry ....taking into account how dirty the stuff is ....a mechanics overalls are going to require presoaking and spot removal before a hot wash......bath towels VERY LITTLE detergent and minimal wash time. Have Fun!! xoxo :)

I don’t understand why the makers do that.
I just bought this. Waiting for delivery but I had the previous version and it was awesome. Then after 8.5yrs it finally fucked up and didn't stop filling up one day-lucky I was there-it still agitated if I reset it a few times but it had the biscuit-many yrs of service-I have teenagers. I paid 700$ for it but it will pay for itself in 5 months-because Laundromats are bullshit-4$ a load 3$ a dry and of course the washer is set to medium-not large-and its on 'economy' 7mins wash-for 4$ fucking bucks! Then an extra 50c ifg you want an extra rinse. Total rip-off and not really hot water-whereas at home I can have scalding hot water and use the extra cycle and it gets rinsed and spun twice. Man, smoke a joint and have aglass of wine and watch the wash cycle-Im telling you rainman was on to something, lol. Cheers. Worth every penny. Remember Im in Canada and we basically pay twice what the rest of the world does-not sure why-we cant afford it. That why we get portable washers.
Just looking at the agitator is hunting for my clothes lol.... it tear up everything I own hahahahahaa
Agree, it's the best portable washer. Unfortunately this machine is not available anymore, discontinued by the manufacturer.
I think you're suppose attach the drain hose to the faucet attachment so it doesn't move around. It's on the other side of the red button. My portable dishwasher is like that. If you do a youtube search for portable dishwasher, you may see it.
I have 2 in 3 yrs original then replacement both started to leak exactly same place but second one stared to not work in 2 other ways the dryer spinner won't spin as fast to dry cloths before puttimg them on the line outside. Second the water drains in tub now as I spin clean cloths. Danby doesn't care and they just state policy!
That spin is impressive
You do realize that agitator is a modified wash plate nice video
This will be my next machine and from time to time ppl sell theirs but not having a car makes it hard to take advantage when they come on the market on Craigslist or FB Marketplace!☹️Being that this brand has wheel's is a *great* advantage being that all the others aren't on wheel's, so I bought a cheap $13 resin dolly off eBay to sit my Giantex machine on to move it to & from my kitchen sink😊

Get the laundry balls instead of the using the detergent. Detergent has so many chemicals in it and they don't rinse out. Can give you body rashes and everything is freshly when you get older. Qvc.com used to have laundry balls. That's where I got mine and they clean the clothes really well. I just throw them in with the wash. Never need laundry detergent again.

...probably because it was too good. Sickening. I like these little agitator machines
I think they still make this type of model but a different model number and body which has the sounder play music and also a new instrument board.
I use to dry cloths indoors on a rack when I had my small apt washer and my 110 drier gave out and they dryed fine with a fan blowing on them either on my shower curtain or my rack which ever

I have and love the dryer (invaluable convenience), but I still regularly air-dry my clothes when doing several loads of laundry (and the dryer is busy). Works very well, and my fav part, is that if prepped properly, they come out wrinkle-free! Love my lil' apartment laundromat.
Use fabric softener so when you air dry it, it doesn’t get stiff.
Great review!. Thank you for sharing.
A perfect example of when you need to use a really good detergent.
Danby washers with the agitator are awesome! Like the ge portable washers-just a mini version of the original. It washes anything excellent-just don't over fill it. Worth their weight in gold-better than the Laundromat! Hang to dry and you are all set for cheap laundry-how much $$$ at the Laundromat?
Great review Never knew such machines existed .Never did hear you mention are you able to plug the washing machine and the dryer into a regular wall socket .Did you have any problems blowing fuses ?Thank for your TIME

Thanks for the comment! Both my Danby washer and Panda dryer just plug into standard household 120v outlets. No need to call an electrician, if you don't have the accommodations!

Vac Tech Thank you have a good day
I love this ❤️❤️
I’ve seen many of these portable washers and the ones without the agitation work much better and at a faster speed than this washer, this thing doesn’t look like it moves clothes . The little Panda looks like it does a much better job at moving the clothes around.

JoAnn Kirk The disc washers will tangle clothes where an agitator usually keeps that from happening.
I got one second hand and it worked perfectly but the spinning cycle doesnt always work? Do you think it's an issues with the weight of the load? It'll fill with water but then it doesn't pursue with the next step :-(
I bought a Panda washer... it works great but I would have loved this one.
Real cute washer love one
It is just a fully automatic top loader washing machine that’s how they call it in my country
Its whipping clothes good washer
So question. Wen I hook the hose up to the faucet do I need to stand there to turn the water on or is there some type of mechanism to do that automatically? Idk how I ran into your review but so glad I did bc the brand look so much better & do exactly wat I want. I wanted a agitator but didn't see them on the other reviews. Dang I'm glad I saw this b4 I made my purchase. Ty

All you have to do is attach the washer hose to the faucet, and turn the faucet on to the desired temperature (currently doing a load of wash clothes in hot water). The washer handles the rest. If you end up with one, I hope you're as happy with it as I am with mine!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post a video. I have been debating on buying something like this and I am amazed at the spin cycle. My question is, how much noise does this make? My second home is a small first floor condo unit and do not want my neighbors to hear it. What are your thoughts? Also, any recommendations on a small dryer? Lastly, how do you like the Beach Body Fitness Program?

+G W Grote Good eye haha! Beach Body has a lot of great products, and I like being able to work out in my living room with DVDs. If you're on the first floor, you should have no issues with noise from the Danby, or disturbing neighbors. I'm on the second floor in an old building, and have no issues regarding bothering neighbors. With the stabilizer foot down, I don't feel it vibrate the floor during the spin cycle at all. The machine is very quiet (just a very quiet motor hum and the water moving around), but another owner commented that they disagree with me. The spin cycle is the loudest thing about it, but once up to speed it's quiet. I can't hear the washer on the other side of my apartment. I haven't given the shared paid machines in my building a second thought since owning it, and I couldn't be happier. I've been happy with my Panda dryer as well, but I got it for a great price. Works just like any dryer should, but the lint filter is a pain to clean. Unlike the Danby, I really have no reason to recommend the Panda dryer over other models, as the new ones I looked at appeared to be of similar quality and function. I would only recommend using one of these portable dryers if you're able to vent the dryer exhaust out of a window, as it will put a lot of moisture back into the air if you don't. If you use dryer sheets, it would spew a lot of toxic moisture back into the air. Ventless dryers are becoming available in the US, but they're still really pricey. Good luck, and I'm glad you liked the video! I've saved a fortune on laundry using these machines, and in my current living situation, I have no regrets with either purchase. The Danby also gets my clothes a lot cleaner than the gross shared front loader I used for years.

Be sure to put the sound-dampening rubber mat in the bottom slot. Mine is only noisy during the spinning cycle.
The washer is washing your sink at the same time. lol
I'm purchasing me one of these 😍
Excellent video thank you! 👋🏻
For your sink= one part dawn to one part heated cleaning vinegar, mix it in a spray bottle, shake it up a bit, spray and let sit for a good while. you will be amazed.

Hi there! This washer can wash 1 queen size comforter at a time, but it's a good idea to keep an eye on the machine when doing so, to make sure it doesn't fault. I haven't had any issues. I suppose I did luck out with the closet window for the dryer. It's worked out great! The washer takes 35-40 minutes for an average load of laundry. Since the machine is in your home, you can wash as much as you'd like, at your convenience! I hope this helps, and I can't stress enough that having a washer at home makes a world of difference, even if you can't also have a dryer.
