Washes and rinses fairly wellSpinner is uselessIf you squeeze the water out by hand the clothes are drier than the spinner is able to doThis is a revisionThe second time I used this the belt fell off 3 times then it blew the fuse. Tech was pretty good but I can not trust something that shorts out under normal useElectricity and water do not mix at the best of times. I will not use this again. You would be wise to choose a different product

The machine is worth the money, it washes well, but it doesn’t rinse things and I have to do it manually. In the photo it seems larger, in reality it is very small, but you can wash enough things. I also bought it because free shipping was indicated. but they never delivered it to my home, I had to go to another place and pick it up. delivery doesn't work ☝️

Let me get straight to the point here: Amazing machine, but probably only for technically minded people. What I mean is that it can be hard to set it up properly so that it works smoothly and steadily.FIRST OFF It will shake vigorously (especially in spin mode) so you need to attach it to something firmly. If you don't it will flail wildly and fall off your counter. HOWEVER you should note: There is a way to load the spin dryer properly that makes a HUGE difference! I've noticed if you just chuck stuff into it, it'll shake violently. But if you load stuff so that its lining the sides of the basket, with everything evenly spaced around the sides, it will shake MUCH less. I believe this is extremely important information everyone should know about. It makes a massive difference.Now that being said, I used double-sided tape to attach the feet to something and that is working great for me. However, if you just tape it right to a solid surface connected to your house, it will vibrate that part of your house pretty loudly. So if you're in a cramped apartment building you might not want to do that. What I did is I double-side taped it to a smooth wood board, and then put that on top of an old t-shirt (which is on the counter beside my bathtub). So this way the board can vibrate a lot without making a ton of noise. I also have a shelf on the side so it's impossible for it to fall off the counter - you'd likely also want some kind of extra blocker or support.Once you have it well set up with shake supports and rags or vibration and whatnot, its fine. You can absolutely turn it on and walk away - I have been every day. But I have mine well set up to be able to do so. I can see reviews from other people where they said they can't leave it unattended or they have to hold it the whole time - that's obviously just because they 1) didn't know how to securely attach it down to something to stop the shaking, and 2) didn't know that you have to load the spin dryer basket a certain way in order for it to not shake. Not that people can be blamed for this - the instructions don't even mention any of this.There's also the matter of attaching the hose itself. If you're lucky then the rubber-ended side of the hose will stretch over your bath faucet and it should be easy. But it might not. For me I had to unscrew the bath faucet tip and place the hose inside with a tiny rubber gasket over the hose to make a seal (So its a lot of work to re-attach it if it gets yanked out.. but I live alone and I don't really use the bath faucets.) But anyway keep in mind that it's possible a trip to a local hardware store, to buy little rubber gaskets or faucet adapters, MIGHT be necessary if you want the hose attachment to work properly.So my review is I highly approve, but you should understand what you're buying. If you're expecting a simple "out-of-the-box" experience, you might consider looking at one of the smaller and simpler types of these machines. This one is rather heavy-duty as far as portable washers go and thus its gonna require more set-up. But it also washes like a BEAST. This thing gets my clothes so clean it is amazing. The actual process of using it is a joy. Once you have it set up and working it's amazing. But unless you're the sort of person that has an easy time putting together IKEA furniture, this might not be the best fit for you.

This review would have been a glowing 5-star rating if it weren't for the fill hose issue. Unfortunately, the hose doesn't seem to fit my taps properly, and I'm puzzled as to how it would fit any standard taps. The fill hose itself feels quite thin and flimsy, especially when using very hot water, as it tends to slip out of the washer part easily. To resolve this, I had to get creative and design a custom adapter using 3D printing just to make it connect securely to my taps. Even with this workaround, I still find myself having to hold the hose to prevent it from coming loose at the washer end.On the bright side, the machine performs exceptionally well in other aspects. It efficiently agitates the water, ensuring a thorough cleaning of my clothes. The timer functions reliably, and the drain pipes work seamlessly. The spinner basket effectively removes water, although achieving a balanced load in the spinner can be a bit tricky to prevent excessive machine movement. To mitigate this, I typically place the washer in my kitchen sink for stability and manually support it during the spinning cycle to minimize any excessive vibrations if the load isn't perfectly balanced.

I've had this about a month and I use it all the time. I live in a small apartment and can't get to the laundromat every day to wash my work uniform, so this is perfect. It's not as loud as I was expecting based on the other comments, but it does shake and wants to rotate the entire machine when in the spin cycle, but that can be avoided by either holding it down with your hand or placing it in the styrofoam base that it ships in. The tube for filling it with water that comes with it doesn't fit on any faucet in my apartment (it's small and made of inflexible plastic), but seeing as how I place it in the tub anyways, my regular showerhead hose works just fine. I would do what others have said here and only add a little detergent (like, half a Tide pod, not a whole one), otherwise you'll have to rinse way too many times.The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a lint trap, and when you take your (clean) clothes out, they still have hair and schmutz all over them, requiring either a lint roller after drying or some of those little velcro-covered ping pong balls (they sell on eBay for like a dollar or two, just search "laundry balls") to be thrown in with the clothes during washing to collect the fuzz.I did have a small issue when I first set it up. I plugged it in and turned the dial and heard a noise, but nothing else happened. I emailed the company and the emailed back the next day asking me to send a video so they could see what was happening. Turns out, I just needed to reset my outlet, but I was impressed at the quick response from the company and their willingness to help.Overall, well worth the money and I HIGHLY recommend it.UPDATE: I've had this for several months now and used it many times. The only issue I have with it is that the cord isn't long enough to reach my bathroom outlet (which really isn't far from my tub, so it's a pretty short cord), meaning that I have to use an extension cord with a converter in order to get it to reach, and because I'm using an extension cord with a converter, to outlet trips every couple minutes, meaning I have to keep going into the bathroom repeatedly to reset the outlet and start the machine again. Super annoying when you're trying to do other things while your clothes are washing. But, not a dealbreaker.Other than that, it works great and clothes come out clean and smelling good. Still wish it had a lint trap, but those little velcro laundry balls work well enough for that. Still a great product and I don't regret spending the money on it at all. Highly recommend!

I purchased the blue model with the spin function. I really wanted to love this product but it proved short-lived and ultimately unreliable. Costway seems a reputable company and has assured me I will be getting a full refund. I purchased this to do small loads of delicate hand washables I was washing regularly in a sink. Mostly underwear, socks, thin linen short sleeve shirts, and very lightweight linen pants. I never even used the spin cycle once as these items were so lightweight I could wring them out by hand and hang them to dry! The directions were followed explicitly, including weighing of the laundry to assure it would not overload the machine. When it work it was marvellous and the clothes were cleaned very well. Unfortunately, my experience was not to remain positive. I washed about 10 small loads in the course of under 1 month. That was all the machine could muster and it refused to run ever since. The timer would continue to tick and some noises seem to come from the motor but no movement, nothing. Costway initially expected me to open up the machine to check for some kind of belt. I refused to do this; I did however look under the machine and I could see a black belt inside that seemed to be intact and told them so. I have since received an email saying to expect a full refund. So while I give Costway very high marks for doing the right thing, I can't give anything more than one star for a machine that only lasts for 10 washes. In fact I would probably give zero stars if I could. However, if you are curious to try the machine, Costway seems a reliable company and you may be fortunate enough to get one that has no defects. Good luck!
