COSTWAY Portable Washing Machine, 2-in-1 Twin Tub 26lbs Capacity Laundry Washer(18lbs) and Spinner(8lbs) with Control Knobs, Timer Function, Drain Pump, Perfect for Home Apartment RV, Grey

I have always wanted to buy a double-tub washing machine like this. I bought a portable single-tub washing machine from other platforms before. It broke quickly and the machine was not strong enough for washing. However, the washing machine I bought this time is very easy to use and stirs the water. The washing power is very strong, the washing is very clean, and the spin drying is also very easy. It can spin the clothes very dry, and they can be dried quickly indoors in California. The packaging of this washing machine is also very good. The machine was packed very tightly and safely when it arrived, and the machine itself is not heavy. I can move it around at will (I often need to put it in the bathtub for use, and it is not heavy and easy to move).

We don't have washer dryer hookups in our apartment, so I looked into portable washers. This one was decently priced and seems to hold a larger load, so we decided to try it out. SO GLAD WE DID. This little thing was able to hold a queen sized fleece throw blanket, cleans in 3-12 minute cycle with normal or gentle wash. And oh man the spin cycle is AMAZING. Our clothes can be line dried in a few hours after going through the spin cycle. There's a inlet to add water but it was too slow for us, ended up using a 5 gal home Depot bucket in the shower and that worked great. 2-3 bucketfuls of water does the trick. For the spin cycle, we break it into a few loads, and definitely remember to put the little disk in before it spins. It's not noted in the instructions but it keeps the items inside the spinner. We didn't for one time, and a sock got stuck into the water drainage and we had to take it apart to get it out.

I love this portable washer. It is easy to use and cleans the clothes. I have had this for a year now and it still runs very well. The spin dryer does a great job of getting the water out of the clothes. You have to be careful and not over stuff the dryer it will cause it to go off balance its an easy fix, you just have to rearrangethe clothes. I am surprised at how much you can wash in one load. I can wash my sheets,blankets and towels without any issues. Unfortunately it can't wash a queen/king sized comforter. If you have a small space and have no washer dryer hook ups I definitely recommend getting this. I use liquid laundry soap and liquid fabric softener they work fine. I tried the laundry pods and those worked too. They dryer can be loud but it's not too bad. The only downside I have is the hose that you hook up to the facet does not fit so I have to to hold it while I fill up the washer. It is definitely cheaper to buy one of these instead of going to the laundry matt and it saves you time as well. ❤️

Purchased in October of 2023. The first few weeks were great. I was ready to post a fantastic review about it. Now here we are in December 2024 and the washing machine has completely died. A few weeks after purchasing, it started making a lot more noise than before. The motor sounded like it was struggling, but my clothing was washing just fine. I’d occasionally open the back to see if something was loose or whatever, but nothing seemed wrong. The last two weeks I’ve had it, leading up until today, it was making awful noises. The motor sounded like it was grinding/falling apart. Again, took the back off to inspect, even while running, and I couldn’t find anything wrong. Must be inside of the motor? The clothing stopped spinning entirely. But the pump and the spinner still worked just fine. I wiggled it around a bit and got it to work again. Went downstairs to finish cleaning and I could smell this god awful burning smell. I can’t describe it. Melting plastic smell? The motor was making noise but the laundry wasn’t spinning. I was practically gagging from the smell so I had to rush it down the stairs and out the door. Thankfully, the garbage men picked it up without any issues. Because it’s been a little over a year, I don’t qualify for any reimbursement, discounts, repairs, or whatever. The first machine I had (Gigantex) lasted me nearly three years - I will be returning to that brand, and likely the same load capacity. The reason I bought this one in the first place was because it could handle slightly larger loads.

It arrived faster then expected. Im surprised at how roomy and deep it is. This will definitely allow me to wash a lot of things even some comforters blankets. This is my first day using it out of the box. Its loud, I live in a apartment so I know my neighbors can hear it. That is what I dont like so far. I do like how strong the wash cycle performs though. I would have gave it all stars but its too loud and heavy. **** O, I dont have to use the holes for the inlet of filling the washer or rinsing the clothes during the spin dry because I am able to use my shower head for those two things. It better to use instead. The Drying on this machine is great as well. I hope it is durable enough to last because I have notice some areas look a bit thin in structure.

Washer/driers are now expensive and I prefer to do small loads often than large loads, this works well. It is easy to use. It does a good job washing and drying. Of course, one never knows how long it will last. But considering that even with a $1,500 set up, people run into durability issues, I think this makes more sense. It does not take a lot of room so it is perfect for an apartment. No set up, which is a plus as well. I recommend getting a plastic tray, rbbermaid or other for possible water spill, especially in an apartment. The draining is easy if next to a tub or sink. As others have commented, the filling in does not work with several sink spouts etc. I just fill it in with a bucket. It does not take long. I recommend a rinse cycle before spinning in the dryer. Even though there is no heat involving the dryer that spins really fast is more effective that the spinning cycle in a regular washing machine. As others commented, the wash needs to be broken into at least 2 passes in dryer because it is smaller. Don't run both at the same time. Also, include the dryer cover (supplied) or it will knock about. Great little machine.

This arrived yesterday and I put it straight to work and I was surprised on how light this is as I will have to move it around. Knowing that this can't handle large loads, it worked perfectly. The wash cycle definitely brought out the dirt on my work clothes which you can see by the color of the water afterwards and the spin cycle was fast with great results. I've seen reviews where people stated the pump motor stopped operating properly and I can only wonder if it might be because they let it run to long. A pump will burn out if there is nothing to pump so keep that in mind and turn it off when the flow of water starts to fade off. Don't worry, the spin cycle will take care of the rest. My only wish is that the spinning side was the same capacity as the the washing side but this doesn't change the fact that it's performing and at a great price point!!! Perfect for one person and manageable for two. I haven't tried it out on queen size bed sheets but am positive that it won't be a problem although I do have my doubts it will work on a comforter at least on the spin cycle which is fine. Understanding what you're buying here is key. If you think this will ever keep up or compare to a standard washer then you will be disappointed so don't bother buying and wasting everyone's time. This is meant for singles and couples, not family's that have tons of laundry everyday and are on time constraints. I hope this helps you out

Not a lot of use but first impressions of si gle parent with three kids: Positives - It can take as much clothes in the washer side as my old whirlpool front load washer. - It soaks the clothes as it washes, not much movement but ironically got stains out of kids clothes - It drains extremely well! - you have to be more involved with the washing cycle asnit is not turn on and go but in 10 mind of wash and another 10 to spin out, I finished my laundry quicker - The spin dryer almost drys the clothes completely. Very efficient. - very energy efficient compared to bigger machines. - It's portable, I'm thinking about putting in my master bathroom just to do small loads one at a time. Will provably take it camping! Negatives - you can't just turn on and and wash and spin, you have to be involved in the process. - you can't spin out a full washer load at once - big comforter washes fine, but no way to spin, have to squeeze water out and drain at the same time. More effort but the drain is so effective it works.

I'm very happy with this purchase! It's a beautiful machine. It is bigger than I anticipated it would be. It's roughly the same size as a back in the day (70's) top loader. But has both a wash and drying spinner. Note: other commenters says the spinner makes the machine shake. If this is so, it means that you failed to balance the laundry in the spinner. It does not shake when the laundry is properly balanced in the spinner. I'm sensitive to noise, this machine is a 'normal' level of noise. I wish it was quieter/ I wish it was near silent, But it is a level of noise that is acceptable during daylight hours. No where near as loud as a vacumme cleaner but louder than my dishwasher. Minus one star for noise level. I'm not good with spatial sizes so the fact that it is bigger than I anticipated it would be, is on me. Also wish this thing had lockable, rubberized wheels on the bottom to make it easier to move by rolling. Lifting the machine is do-able but not reccomened for a elder senior or a young-to-mid-age teenager to lift solo. It is heavy. The size makes it awkward for moving. It has only been here a couple of days as I write this, and it has done a wonderful job handling washing clothes (3 pairs long leg Canadian men's heavy work jeans max per load, 7-8 t-shirts per load.) and sheets and blankets that are light weight are no problem for this at all. Worth the money spent.

This unit has a drain pump, so it can be used in the kitchen, and the water will drain up into the sink. They do not recommend using it in the bathtub because of the slant. I bought a rubber dog bathing hose to extend from the kitchen tap into the washing basin (the included attachment hose is completely useless). And lastly, I bought a pack of 4 small hard rubber coasters that go under the feet of the machine, to absorb vibration and sound. Tiny amount of liquid detergent and baking soda, and ready to wash. Rule #1 ... do NOT overload. You cannot use it to wash bed blankets. Sheets yes, blankets, no, very small personal cozy blankets, yes. Less clothing is better. You don't want to stress the mechanism. Do NOT try to wash, drain or spin dry at the same time ... you will damage the unit. All 3 modes use just one central motor, so it's meant to wash only, then drain only, then spin dry only. Never at the same time. Rule #2 ... spin dry very few garments at one time. One load of laundry will probably take 3-4 spin dries (spin jeans separately, 2 shirts separately, socks and underwear together). But it really does take out 95% of the water. You can hang dry the washed items, and they're dry in a few hours (I also bought a clothing tree and hangers to hang dry). Rule #3 ... keep track of your drain hose. Always make sure it's in the sink, hooked over a bucket or something, because if you forget to remove it from the side of the machine, you're going to have water everywhere. I would NOT recommend leaving the machine unattended when washing or draining for this reason. If you factor in everything above, this device is amazing for an apartment. It washes really well, and spin dries enough so you can hang dry. If you are hang-drying, 1/2 cup of baking soda in the wash helps soften the wash, as well as removing stains (tip). I feel like I've gone back in time when my mother used to use an old washer and roller. And I love it. I do more frequent small loads of laundry, never have to go down to a shared laundry room, and don't have to pay for each wash and dry in a crowded laundry room. After a short period of time this machine will pay for itself.

Great little machine!! It takes a bit of trial and error but overall it's a fun way of saving coins at the laundromat... fill to the medium line for most loads. Drain is easy but leave it on a bit longer. The hookup for the spin is nice because then it can be rinsed! I fill the tub, put it on for 12-15 minutes, drain it, then fill it up and do another 12-15 for the 'rinse' cycle. Then I put it in the spinner. Sometimes it clunks on the sides so I rebalance it. Again, I LOVE THIS! Oh and clothes can get tangled so they recommend using a mesh bag. I just stop the wash process, (turn off the dial) and move the clothes around.
