ZENY Portable Mini Washing Machine 8 lbs Washing Capacity Semi-Automatic Compact Washer Spinner Small Cloth Washer Laundry Appliances for Apartment, RV, Camping, Single Translucent Tub Blue

I have been using this machine daily for a week, and for now, I'm giving it a 4.5 star. It's suitable for small spaces, has the strength to wash clothes clean, and is easy to use without the useless instruction that comes with the product. And here are some tips and details for you if you're having troubles like I did or considering a purchase of this washing machine: 1. You can use a bucket to get the water in. But if you want to use the tube, which comes in the box, to connect to your faucet, you must have a fitted faucet or a suitable faucet adapter. I found this Danco Dishwasher Faucet Adapter (The left one in my third picture) to be a perfect fit; it's also on amazon. When you join the tube, push it all the way in (see picture four), so it won't leak or come off. Remember to hold the part that connects to the water inlet side; the tube may come off due to water pressure. 2. The water level label is on the back side of the machine (See the up-left corner of my second picture, the one that shows the inside part). It labels Low, Medium, and High levels. It would be best to keep the water level below the H mark so the water won't come out from the right-side drain tube. 3. For the drainage part, first, ensure this machine is higher than your drain outlet. Then all you need to do is unhook the right-side drain tube and quickly put it down towards your drain outlet. I use my toilet for this, and it works fantastic. 4. As other reviews said, the spin function has a lot of issues. It is noisy and shakes like crazy, but the worst part is that it will melt the bottom of the spin basket, and you need to be very careful if you want to use this function. My suggestions are, first, no more than 3 minutes at a time; Second, while holding the machine when it spins, put down the drain tube to let the water out, and stop the machine as soon as the water flow is small. I'm not having any melting problems for now, but I can't guarantee that it won't melt even if you do as I do. After a quick spin, the cloth will still be pretty wet, but it won't be dripping. Overall, this mini washing machine is one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. I feel so good now that I don't have to share that one machine with all the other people living in my apartment. And my clothes are as clean as they come from a giant washing machine.

As a gig worker, I need to wash small batches of clothes, undergarments, and small towels regularly. ZENY effectively cleans and provides ease for my busy schedule. I'm a larger woman, and the machine fits 2-3 medium-weight tops/bottoms, along with 1-2 undergarments. Separately, a long maxi skirt and pashmina-style headscarf also move freely and do not snag. On occasion, I've washed a queen-size bedsheet or light throw blanket. This bedding will not fit into the small spin basket. The benefit here is saving a hand wash or trip to laundromat, even if needing to wring out the large piece separately. For clothes, the humble spin function does not disappoint when used properly. Light fabrics spin nearly dry, and medium to heavier weights such as socks, a thin sweater, or hand towels spin to extract an impressive amount of water, sometimes needing just one hand wring before hanging to dry. When using the spin function, I've had to restrain the unit only when my loads were too heavy or unevenly packed. To stabilize, I split each spin task based on wet weight, placing items evenly and ensuring the basket is securely snapped into place. The customer service team is also highly responsive. After receiving some extra guidance, the ZENY unit has provided value for money, saving me time and personal energy. To my fellow gig workers, I recommend this unit as a capable and small-scale alternative to the weekly laundry grind.

Once I got the hang of it I like it. And it does a good job of cleaning the clothes A few things from my experience and from other reviewers. On the right side the attached drain hose - Leave it up and in place until you are ready to use it. If you’re not ready to drain and that hose is down when you start filing it with water to wash the water will come out of the hose. ( I thought the water only came out if I turned it to Spin). The spin basket is 1/4 the size of the tub. Absolutely ridiculous Wash a load. Drain with the clothes inside. Then fill up with water with softener or just water If you don’t do a second rinse the clothes are soapy Fill the tub up no more than 3/4 full of water if even. You will know you have too much water because the drain hose on the right - the excess water will start coming out of it even if it is upright and attached in place I sit mine on the bathroom floor and drain into the tub I have to pick it up and hold while draining (Limited bathroom space) The hose to fill with water does not fit my sink Other reviewers use a removable shower head to fill or buckets of water I use the bucket of water and it works well The spinner. Unless you have light weight clothes it will take forever From Amazon I had previously bought the Panda extractor That thing dries your clothes of every inch of water! The washer only takes 1 pair of dungarees at a time with maybe 2 T Shirts You’ll have to play around with it If you overload it will sound like it’s washing but when you lift the lid you’ll see the clothes hardly moving Lift some clothes out and it’s swishing away There are some videos on YouTube for this model but not many Left side button is for the wash / spinner Right side the timer No ding or anything when the wash is completed All in all it’s pretty ok And I would recommend

I will start by saying I have had one of the larger double barrel units before and it worked great. Good sized washer and the spinner made the items very close to almost dry. But I needed a smaller one because I have a tiny apartment. When I got this I was excited. It is the cutest thing ever. The washer was decent sized, I was able to wash about 3 shirts at a time. But that is where the fun ends. I expected the spinner to be small so that was not my disappointment. The spinner could only hold one thing at a time and did not spin out any water at all. The thing that was mostly annoying is the whole thing jumped around while spinning. Pretty much walked across the tub on its own. I had read another review where he said this too but thought I would try it any way. But he was right, you would have to stand there and hold the thing down to stop it from jumping around. Complete waste of electricity. Don't waste your time on this. Also when I tried to use it up on a table first I lifted it up and it had leaked all over. There was water all over the table and floor around the washer. Even if you are in a small space get the bigger one. At least the spinner will do what we expect. I'm disappointed but grateful for easy returns. I may have to pay a little more for a bigger one and it may take up more space but it is worth it. The thing I like about these is how clean and fresh it gets my things. I can visually see the dirt come out of things that had been washed in regular washer. Kinda bad how commercial washers don't get things as clean as you might expect. So, not recommended. But the stronger double barrel washer spinner and you will see the difference in how they spin the items nearly dry. This one, not dry. Still very wet.

Works very good. Can only do small loads at a time but it’s been working very good for about a year now .

I've only used this twice and I'm sure there's a slight learning curve to this, especially when it comes to what you can wash together, so take this with a grain of salt. So far I've only washed underwear, socks, a pillowcase, and one t-shirt. Both times, there was lint and hair all over everything, which I wasn't able to get off until they were fully dried. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind. I'll probably take a lint remover to everything beforehand from now on, though. The biggest issue I have is that two pairs of my cashmere socks were black and white striped, which I've never had a problem with when washing with other black items, but the white stripes turned a brownish color when using this. No amount of rinsing or hand washing fixed this. I have no idea why the color bled after so many washes with this not happening but it's never been an issue when using a regular machine, so :/ Definitely don't wash anything "nicer" in this. I'm going to stick with things no one else will see. Another problem is that the timer does not work. I have to set a time in order for it to run but the first time I used it I set it to 15min and realized half an hour later that it had not turned off. It's easy to set a timer on my phone, so I'm not too peeved, but just a heads up for any new users that this could be an issue for you as well. Filling and draining is annoying but I knew it would be going in. I haven't even attempted to use the spin feature because so many reviews have said to not bother. I don't mind hand rinsing since these are such small loads and I just make sure to ring everything out well before transferring to my drying rack. Overall it's a fine product that has a few issues but I'm not too surprised given that this is such a cheap product for what it is. I'll continue to use it but I'm stickin' to using it solely for my plain socks and not-so-cute undies and nothing else.

You can do 4 t-shirts, or 2 pairs of jeans. Something of the equivalent weight to those examples. Definitely can't wash a bed sheet. I originally bought it because it's basically the same machine they sell for 350 online for ice water hash and it works great for it btw. Now I have to buy another one for ice water hash for obvious reasons. Might buy 2

Was excited to not have to hall my big Zeny Twin Tube 13lb Washer into the bathroom when I just had few shirts and under garments to wash. This item was small enough to fit in the bathroom closet but I was very disappointed. The Wash feature was good and it holds more than a Wonder Washer. It is a good size for if you need to put it in a closet or on a shelf. Unfortunately unlike the bigger models this washer's Spin Dry Cycle is not good. 1: The machine is not stable and through out the spin cycle I kept having to hold down the machine or else it would travel. 2: It can barely even spin dry a quarter of the wash load and if it is even a ounce past halfway full it will wilding shack. 3: The spin cycle is not very strong and cloths were still soggy even after a four minute spin. 4: The odor it emits while working is very unpleasant. I was in an enclosed space at first when starting a load and at the end of it the smell gave me a headache and a bit of nausea. I ended up having to keep the bathroom door open and take breathing breaks between spin cycles. I definitely will be sticking to twin tub washing machines from now on.
