"There's my cassette tape boxers, ladies calm down " Who knew I would find humor in a laundry pod review . Thank you for making me smile.

I use the Nina Soft to spin dry my laundry after hand washing. The Nina Soft works really well. I've had mine for about six months and it is a life saver. It gets the clothes fairly dry. It takes about three or four hours for them to dry on a fold out dryer. Jeans take longer. I live in a humid climate. Maybe they dry faster in dry climates. You have to make sure your loads are well balanced. I put them in one item at a time and flatten them against the inside of the basket. They are slightly stretched out with a "donut hole" in the middle of the load. It is a lot better than wringing clothes out by hand! Also, I forgot to put the pink plastic guard in before too, but I read that you need to use it or small items like socks can get sucked up and into the liner and break the Nina Soft.

Very clear and thorough review. Why not dump everything into the sink for rinsing? Using the pod for rinsing looks tedious. And since you don't mind using electricity, there are plenty of less laborious automatic alternatives for washing small loads of clothes. BTW, so refreshing to see a KZfaq video with a clean house in the background.

Awesome review!

I was curious to see how this works. It's like a salad spinner. I bought the Wonder Wash from Laundry Alternative. Recommended wash time is 2 minutes; rinse time is 30 seconds. I also got the Nina Soft Spin. I'm very satisfied with both machines. Having a nonelectric washer comes in handy when there's no power. It's also a great "take along" item when you're going camping. You can always hang the clothes to dry if you're in an AV or use a dryer if you have one. At any rate, the spinner uses a lot less electricity, and it uses NO heat. It just spins out the water!

When I was a kid, I'd get excited when I knew we were having salad because the lettuce dryer was so much fun to use. I wonder if I'd feel the same excitement for laundry if I bought this? Was considering buying it to teach my kids a lesson in wastefulness (they change their clothes several times a day with no regard as to what happens after they throw them in hampers) and was wondering if it was tough to turn as you make it look quite effortless.

to those that say it's too much work ..... we has a blackout.... from thunderstorms.... no big deal around here....happens a lot. few hours abs power comes back on. during one of them....a train ran into a transformer.... power was out for a few days. of you wear uniforms or work at a hospital.... you scrubs still have to be clean regardless. this is a hood emergency option.

It's easier to just use a plain old bucket and use a plunger with holes in it to swish them around. Set the bucket in the tub swish the clothes around for about 5 minutes then empty the water right in the tub and refill with cold rinse water and repeat. After that, just ring them out and hang to dry. Easy as one two three

Just ordered my Pod and Nina Soft, because of review. wish me luck :D

You can buy the commercial 5 gallon salad spinner. Made just like the Laundry Pod. I put my rinse water in the sink so I don't have drain the water with detergent every time. I've been using my setup 8 years and love it.

The laundry pod is a big salad spinner! Thanks for the review though...The Nina dryer is interesting!

I think you for such a well done review. I wondered if it was worth $100.

That is a pretty cool thing to have at home.

have you ever used any fabric softener in the rinse cycle?

i used that for rv and camping too!

For all those who call it a salad spinner guess what the ideal came exactly from that I'm in the dry cleaning business and I was told by many women they used it for very delicate clothes so someone had to see it and saw a great ideal

So did the extractor as well I've used huge ones as big as cars to extract tons of shirts

Looks like the basket very likely spins faster than the clothes (and the water of course). The inside of the basket has little ridges that agitate the clothes. That would also explain the resistance you get turning it and the suds you get on top of the clothes. It would be easier to just dump the pod rather than drain it.

Wish it was a see through bucket!

I love your accent

Think I stick to my Wonder Wash, it tumbles the clothes upon each other and gets dirty clothes really clean.

I ordered a laundry pod yesterday. Im looking forward to receiving it. How much was the Nina dryer?

The arm motion looks like a good warmup for an upper body strength workout. :)

Couldnt you close and spin it while its draining?

you should do a new one and see if it's still working.

Are you sure that's not a salad spinner???

Good demo..thanks. I wonder if your clothes are stiff and scratchy once they're dry.

i place everything on a wash basin and walk all over the clothes i sometimes dance and jump around and after 15 minutes of work out i rinse 3 times then fabcon 4th rinse then spin dry then hang to dry. simple plus i get additional work out. ;)

Jesus, that dryer is ingenious.

I saw this on HSN on youtube and it looks pretty sweet. I am definitely looking at a few of these. Thanks for the review. Also that Nina Soft Spin Dryer does that use a lot of electricity?

Which Panda washer did you have?

I take the spinner out, let my laundry soak 5mins, then add spinner back and spin for about a minute. Then drain, refill spin for 2mins, drain and let air dry. Thanks about the oil, I was wondering about the plastic shaving!

yea its expensive considering its just a bucket with not many complicated moving parts and made with none recycled cheap plastic . I would be more inclined to just soaking cloths in a large bucket and using a simple plunger then just using that nice spinner you have , thank you for the video ;D))) NIIIICE BOXERS

Could you do an agitating motion (spin partially in one direction and immediately in other)? Would that work?, or work better?

When they lower the price I will consider it.

can I wash jeans in it?

Vreau sa cumpăr si eu aceasta masina .DE unde pot?

why don't you put the top back on it to help spin out the water faster.

I was hoping to see the pod spin the clothes dry to see how well it did.

It kind of reminds me of a large salad spinner. Same concept, I guess. You can probably make one for less.

tHIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNINTENTIONALLY ENTERTAINING THINGS i HAVE EVER SEEN.

Also, I'm hoping my clothes aren't too wrinkly after I hang them dry.

I would hate to state the obvious, but why not put a drainage valve on the washer. That way you can use it to spin dry your clothes also. Hmmm....

pretty much looks like giant salad spinner . How does it do towels ?

I'm not convinced. Maybe for a single person, but for a family with lots of laundry, I don't think so

***** The pod still spinning strong. I've noticed it's better for lighter, smaller fabric material. Not really ideal for jean or other thick material. I use it often for my work out clothes.

3:50 lol

Where did you purchase this? Thanks in advance

Liquid does not clean as well as powder though.

Have you tried the new washer that goes in your shower and you work it with a foot pedal? I think it's called the Drumi by Yirego.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/js56dtJ4352tcqs.html The above link shows a clear version so you can see what's happening internally.

Rinse down clothes on first drain b4 spinning.

You can literally just spin dry with the machine

geez thats expensive

These are a waste. For a few dollars more you can get the Heir 1 cubic washer portable on wheels 17X17X28 it spins the clothes then you hang to dry (and takes up the same room as both these units)

all it is is a salad spinner really.......

100 DOLLARS!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

Not for me

monologueing

Its a salad spinner that's been all fancifide!?!?

Useless
