Good advice thx

So glad I came here before fully starting mine! Just came in the mail, super excited tho!!

O my goodness! I had one of these machines when my kids were little- 54 yrs ago! I could even do one double bed sheet at a time. I washed jeans and diapers, too. Saved lots of quarters. I usually hung clothes up on hangers and a large clothes rack and on the patio to dry. Loved that little washer!

🙏 thank you so much for sharing that

Thanks, I just got one today. Doesn’t really have very good instructions.

That's what I was wondering whether you can do another wash except use it to rinse. I have to have Downey!

So after you fill it back up you add a little softener then run it 15 mins again and drain then rinse?

@@anamiselrodriguez4380 Yes, just drain it after you rinse it the first time then add water, softener and run it again.

@@anamiselrodriguez4380 after you rinse it the first time drain it then fill it back up and add fabric softener, run it however long you want to then drain it again. I don't rinse the fabric softener out( your not supposed to) then I spin it and hang it up to dry. When I got my washer I also bought a dryer to use also. I can wash and dry anything except for things like blankets, sheets, large items.

I do the same except I start with lightly soiled clothes and wash 2-3 loads before changing the wash water.

Aww you’re a doll you’re gonna make a major difference for that young lady good for you🌸💕

That's a really nice thing to do for that young lady.. And I'm sure that she really appreciates it..

I totally agree!🌸💕 thank you 🫶

Agreed but no amount of water you save will make any difference. The problem is corporate water use and waste and farming waste(like corn being subsidized in arid climates...). Don't give in to marketing that says environmentalism is YOUR problem. Cuz compared to the jerks paying to have the amazon burned down or Duke Power company "accidently" dumping coal ash, you doing as little as a dragonfly to the earths mass equation.

Theres no such thing as wasted water. 😂 All water is returned via the water cycle table. WE all learn this in elementary school.

​@@lisarose-iv7cx yeah and we have enough food on this planet to feed about 10billion people but there are still people starving, still people dying of dehydration, still mass amounts of land being polluted and underutilized. so yeah what we learned in elementary school is still useful... but reality is a thing whether you grow up or not and even a resource as replenishing as water can get FUBAR to the point of it being poison, like acid rain.

@@lisarose-iv7cx But it still has to go through the system and be re-filtered before it can be used again. Reusing water before it goes down the drain can help lessen that impact.

@@heatherjasper97 That's not waste tho. Lol. That's recycling. Also, most people on the planet have well water and not recycled city plant water.

Hi! Just saw your video and I thought you were going to show a new appliance but here in the Philippines we have been using that kind of a machine for the past 30 some years! Here we have house help and that is the machine they use to do the laundry. I made the mistake of buying a Maytag washing machine which is 12 times more expensive then that machine. I bought it to make the helpers work lighter by not having to transfer the clothing from washer to spinner only to find - that this much more expensive machine breaks down so much faster and then spare parts plus repair costs soooo much! Here in the PI a machine like the one you demonstrated would cost 4K pesos while a fully automatic costs easily 50k. But, these 50k machines are a real dud ! Super lousy ! The machine you demonstrated is so much more durable than the fully automatic ones we have here - US brands but assembled in China ! Lousy as hell! No kidding!

These are awsome.. so are the fully automatic versions AND the Apt sized electric vent free dryers .. **BOTH are absolutely LIFE CHANGING for Apt dwellers, esp for us older adults!

Sha T ... read my comments, 1 of them was supposed to be in reply for you 😊

Even the hand cranked machines work great for 5lb loads if you wash little and often, around $35.00 I believe. Or, one could use a couple of 5gal buckets and a plunger, if that is something you could manage physically. Wash in one bucket and rinse in the other. I have also seen RVers take a plastic tub, add detergent, water and clothing, put the lit on, and drive around, the motion agitates the clothing. A dehumidifier in the bathroom will dry clothes quickly if you are not able to hang washing outside or by a fire, or on an oil filled radiator. Little radiators are great for finishing off line/frame dried washing if it rains. I like using drying frames, because they are easy to just bring inside.

Dear Sha: sorry to hear about how capitalism makes greedy landlords and property owners suck profit from every avenue of life instead of running to help, accommodate and alleviate people's real needs and hardships. Working to organize massive grassroots communities to demand life with more kindness and compassion that works FOR all people not just making the rich richer at our expense.

She's got it under control lol

Great idea !!

How do you keep it quiet when it’s in the shower? I feel like it disturbs all the neighbors.

That's where I put mine. Works great there.

Hi, Question: I also want to put mine in the tub/shower, but my power cord doesn’t reach the wall outlet, but I have a surge protector that I can plug into the cord, do you think that would be safe?

How small was the apartment? The one I just left was 500sq ft but has standard 600mm gaps in the counter tops in the kitchen for your washer/dryer, cooker and fridge. I guess lots of apartment building have communal laundry rooms over there.

How did she shower?

Personally, I don't see how it would be safe to put the washer inside the tub. Because when it's draining, there's sometimes an inch of water in there. Wouldn't that go inside the motor through the bottom of the washer? I put mine on a small table and drain it in the tub.

​@@sharonbartley808These kinds of washers are lightweight enough that you just lift them out and put them on the bathroom floor while you shower or bathe, then put them back in.

​@@judyromero2174You can set them on top of a riser, like a couple of plastic milk crates next to each other, if you want.

Totally agree!💕💕

Just tried mine for the first time, the pump wouldn’t hook up to the sink so I had to hold it, then got annoyed at that and filled it with a pitcher. Wasn’t sure if this was okay but now I do! Thank you 🤍

Omg thank you so much for your comment. Somebody was throwing one away and I stop and he said it worked. Just don’t have the same components you have. But how do I change the filter in the washer machine?

@@BABYRAE-hn6qkI always left that to a friend of mine, once a month he'd stop by and look it over and do whatever was needed. a few months the motor died and it broke my heart :'( I got another one, different model, and the spin dry stopped working, belt is fine, it spins by hand fine, 2 days later. I want the old model back :'(

Actually conserving wash and rinse water was what you grandparents did. They heated water in a boiler pan on a laundry stove, so they had to conserve water.

I was washing our reusable face masks in our salad spinner before it crapped the bed. Tried to clean it and it just can’t be taken apart obviously.

I use a 5 gallon bucket in the shower to wash my clothes. I've considered one of these washers but this video convinced me otherwise; it seems like more trouble than the method I currently use. Thanks for the info and for saving me money.

Not all heroes wear capes… some just show us how it’s done 😉

@@TheCindlbergen , The problem with the bucket system is rinsing all soap out then, wringing to dry__esp. with heavier items. 😏

Thank you,I appreciate your comment.🫶💕✨

When I lived in the apartment when I was a small child, my mother used similar washing machine in Japan. It was 50 years ago!! Bring back memories, too.

How much did you pay for it? How about the warranty?

You are a lifesaver I just ordered my rinseroo and it will be delivered today! I look forward to do my laundry 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Could you wash a throw blanket in one of these?

@@burgertown4987 you can wash anything that fits.

WooHoo 🙌🙌🙌

Yeah, I also had one larger about 30 ish years ago was my first washing machine, and honestly the best washing machine I've ever had. I miss my old twintub always lol

Yes also grew up with this in South Africa and had my own in the 90s when I started working. Works fabulously well.

Asia

Me too

Yeah, it’s a pretty great machine Thanks for sharing your experience.🌸💕

@@PaulaCodo Yes, totally agree. And thank u , yes he’s doing good.

Hi Eileen, could you please put a link to buy this machine? I need a washer machine ASAP. Thanks in advance!

Hi! About not loading it too full. I saw a video where a woman washed a small load with soap and water, then moved those clothes to spin, but reused the washing water for a second small load. Does that seem like good advice?

@@sequoyahkdockry1517 if you break your laundry up into batches, start with whites / lightly soiled clothes and move to progressively dirtier clothes, you absolutely can reuse your soapy water. If you rinse clothes in the wash tub instead of the spinner, you can reuse rinse water too. It's good advice and a great way to conserve water.

I had the same but mine had a mangle on as ell! We were just married and had no money so we were given a twin tub. Automatic washing machine does 30 years later. Lovely video

Loads of fun to you too Eric, you are so funny thanks.

Have a question about the soap you use? wondering if it’s ok just to put just 1 of those little packs with prefilled soap in it? Don’t have the exact name Anyone know what i’m taking about please? Thanks 🙏🏼

@@siry5164 I use liquid, that way I can control how much I put in. It last for ever so a small bottle will do.

Hi Patricia, I also had a Hoover for years with four children! They work so well!

I had the hoover set also in 77 , my clothes were so clean.

Me, too. Had to sell it but always looking for a new one!

Same here with the one 40+ yrs.. so happy you have shown this.

@@PaulaCodo how much does this cost and how do you dry your laundry if you don't have a dryer??

Twin tub

More than 50.

Yes, hand ringer and poss tub....

Yes those Hoover washers were great. I wonder if they still make em?

😊

I have a machine as well for my trailer. I love it!!! I don't take it for short trips but I do for long trips. I also use it in the shower...

How high does it make your electric bill? How many washes per week? Is it expensive to use?

10/20/21....I saw you WASH your clothes but DIDN'T see you DRAIN/add fresh water for RINSE CYCLE to remove detergent water so you can get wet clothes without soap residue. THEN add more fresh water + run cycle 2nd time so detergent will be rinsed/then drained out in 2nd drain cycle. THEN put clothes onto other side for SPIN cycle. MIGHT buy 1 just for PREPPER PURPOSES... SURE would be better than stick with bucket full of water!

So do you line dry your clothes?

@@PaulaCodo Actually, that second intake on the spinner side should eliminate the need to refill the washer side for the same load. Connect your water intake hose to the spin side, add your wet clothing, turn it on, then once it reaches full speed, turn on the water intake for that side. The fresh water while spinning helps spin the dirt out. Run that until you're satisfied the dirt has been spun out of your clothes, then turn the water off and allow your clothes to spin, as normal. I normally do one spin cycle with the water on, then one with it off.

Yes, it’s beautiful. A lot of ‘white’ and I love that too!

@@PaulaCodo love ur kitty cat !! What's its name ? So pretty , too...

That’s great to hear. Thank you so much.🌸

That’s what I was waiting to see the second wash

Make yogurt? A washing machine makes yogurt? How and very interesting. :)

@@suzz1776 look up "washing machine yogurt" here in KZfaq's search. 😊

Well you can use a harbor freight cement mixer to wash clothes with so I suppose you could use a washing machine to make yogurt.

@@trevorforrester3142, wow, nice to know, thanks.

@@PaulaCodo Thank you for sharing your experience!! I absolutely LOVE my washing machine!! I wish I know about it 6 years ago when I moved into my apartment, I spent sooo much money at laundry mats. *Also for anyone that is like me and wants to put In tub for no kitchen floor accidents(good way to clean floors/first time using it..lol) if you dont have shower head that comes with hose, get renter friendly hose shower head it makes for easy filling or get one of those big plastic circle buckets for ice with handles(Walmart or big lots) then get little buckets at dollar tree that looks exactly the same and fill your big bucket with water from bottom tub spout and use smaller buckets to fill the washer.. I use both methods so I don't waste time refilling every time I drain my dirty water. After spin dryer I use small little laundry basket from dollar tree to bring clothes to my dryer in kitchen.. got little system that works great for all!! Also I have reusable laundry soap bottles that 2 pumped is prefect for size of washing machine. I have 10 year old with autism that sometimes has night time peepee accidents and I wash those thick hospital pads, stuffed animals, even pillows... yes I SAID IT.. pillows (one at a time) stuff that in spin dryer for few seconds to get bulk wet out, throw it in dryer and there big fluffy and like brand new!! I've put my Costway washer through everything and I have to say ITS A LITTLE BEAST!!💗 also don't use super hot water with darks or to much laundry soap.. It will bleed the dyes out of clothes even older Jean's and tshirts!! I'm doing laundry now, so I'm thinking of all the tricks and tips I learned from my experience that I wish someone would have told me..But I'm nothing but IN LOVE and HAPPY with this little machine!! I have nothing bad to say and I've had mine for 2 years!!💗💗

Sorry so long, like I said I'm doing laundry now and I have nothing but good to say!!💗 hope your having great summer and staying healthy and well!!🙂

I also have the same washer machine and panda dryer. You bet is the best purchased. Do you have a method to clean the washer after you're done with laundry?

@@amoramor3712 Yes I definitely clean mine washer after all dirty cloths! I fill washer up with hot/warm water and use borax or bleaching powder and do half spin cycle.. when it drains out I use my shower sprayer and clean tub also..it cleans tub and washer! Hope that helps!!

L

Mine didn’t come with a filter

I just got mine, I hope it doesn’t bother my neighbors downstairs. It’s kind of loud lol

Can u show a picture and the name & price of the item? Thanks.

Mine doesn’t work

@@jamiestrand2772 oh that's no good. Idk where u got it, but my first 1 I got off Amazon. Then I put in a complaint and they refunded me the mo ey. Try that

Good to know about the soap, thanks

How does this machine affect your hydro bill?

@@gwendolyngailstenersen4448 Very small amount of water used in comparison to regular washer Very efficient for a fast wash for grid down, rv's, small apartments. I wish I had room bc I'd buy a spare. I love it.

@@villiehaizlip7626 Thanks a lot. It's pretty much unanimous, isn't it? I just may have to get one!

Jenn, I do the same, and spin the wash wash water out, before rinsing this is how we also did on the old wringer washers too. It helps to rid the clothes of detergent residue better. Since my machine came with no running instructions, tried it with and without the spin between wash and rinse, and liked the results much better with the spin between. Also you can do several loads in the same wash water by going from least soiled to most and add additional detergent if needed as you go along, put the spun clothes in a basket. and then do the same with rinse, changing the water as necessary. this is how we did it in the old days - when I was young, and it will save you a lot on soap and water.

Nice!🌸 thank you💕

Hi Deal Guy big fan Because of your comment I’m going to sub this site first visit thank you

THE DEAL GUY I am one of your subscribers. I bought this unit from Costway 5 years ago. I settled on this one because: 1) Costway is a known brand with a generous refund policy. 2) It has a large capacity. 3) This unit has a gravity drain rather than a drain pump. Since parts are not available once the drain pump dies your unit no longer has a functional centrifuge. The system I eventually settled on is to put it in my shower on top of 2 Gorilla brand steps stools for maximum drainage. This prevents souring or spillage from working with a bucket. I actually use an empty hand soap container for detergent. Two pumps or 1 tablespoon. 1 tablespoon if you use powder. More and you will have to rinse twice. 2 ounces of oxygen powder for tough loads but no chlorine bleach! It ruins the mechanical parts. The washer section has a 5 gallon capacity. I know because it use to sit on my front porch steps and was filled with 1 five-gallon bucket. By comparison, a standard top loader washer holds 20 gallons of water. You can wash 3 pair of jeans or two towels. Up to 6-8 shirts. A small throw or a bath sheet fits but not a twin sized blanket. It is best to test by fitting something in the dryer/centrifuge before actually washing said item or you will wind up twisting the item dry. First, fill washer compartment with items, then put in water and soap. There is no appreciable difference in putting in detergent before or after water. I found it easiest to use a drop down shower head rather than connect the accompanying hose by use of specific additional equipment. Set the left knob to desired timing and go do something else. Heavily soiled items like sneakers can be drained and washed twice, or even three times but if you don't change the wash water they won't get any cleaner. There is a gentle setting for undergarments, etc. Ladies, please hook all bra enclosures before washing to prevent tangling. I actually put my bras into a rectangular stainless steel basket from 5-Below which fits beautifully in the top of the washer compartment and would wash other items below at the same time. After the wash cycle start spinning the soapy clothes as you drain the washer. This has to be done in batches because this unit, like all the models, for some reason, has twice the capacity in the washer section as in the "dryer" section. (It isn't a dryer as we know it in the US. It is a centrifuge.) After the full load is spun out, rinse out the washer section, return clothes to the washer section and fill tank again. Rinse cycle literally takes half as much time. *Pro tip: Do not drain this load. Save the water for the next load if you have one. Just add soap. The spun clothes can be dried in one of two ways--either on a rack or, as I have done, add an additional shower curtain rod at the center of the shower and hang things from plastic Dollar Tree hangers. If you have a lot of laundry you can do both. Tee shirts, sweat shirts and sweaters are best hung by folding them in half over the bottom of the hanger so you don't get marks on the shoulders. Heavy items can dry faster if you flip them over on the hanger halfway through the process. Clothes sometimes won't dry before they sour if you only hang them up so I used a garage style fan which has a tilting feature pointed straight at the clothes. They are inevitably dry within forty minutes to an hour. Drying clothes with a fan also cools the apartment quite a few degrees so, since you are nerdy, (cute nerdy) you may want to use a thermometer to measure that difference. I like to hang up my clothes and turn on the fan just before bed. The noise and drop in temperature helps me sleep. THE DEAL GUY I hope this helps and you mention me during your video review of this item. PAULA CODO feel free to pin this post and I hope this helps.

@@PaulaCodo I accidentally killed my beloved Costway washer by flooding it over and getting the control panel wet. I wound up buying another one--Super Deal brand. Let me know if you want a comparison.

How much does it cost and shipping please.

Do you still like this unit a d has it held up well to use?

@@PaulaCodo nice video

Is it the same brand as hers? I work in clay too:) thanks!

You're so right. O I have mine up on a chair. Works great!

These machines pump water out so you only need to lay the hose down

@@graftedinforever971 The washer doesn’t have to sit on something high to drain??

@@foofookachoo1136 different models have different requirements. Some come with a pump, some don’t.

@@annetteprice Thanks Annette!!

Haha that’s awesome 💕✨🫶

That's a good idea!

I like your idea! Would you mind posting a pic of the cart? Thanks!

@Paula Codo oh of Course you do.

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry you went through that the weather is crazy everywhere. I’m glad you’re safe. Things can be replaced people can’t.🌸💕

@@PaulaCodo thanks for the reply ❤️

What size did you get? I am debating about what size to get for this brand. I am one person but I like to be able to put a lot of clothes in it and be done with it...instead of throwing in it a few pieces of clothes and have to do it 5 times!!

Exact same predicament here. But 4th floor! I'm waiting for it to arrive. So excited.

@@PaulaCodo Not exactly the same, I live in Finland and can't find Costway, otherwise I would have. I think they all work near identical though, so I hope mine will be as nice as yours. Thanks for the video 😊

That's what I was thinking is run them another time on the spin and they'll probably be completely dry and ready to hang.

This machine spins the clothes so well it doesn't need extra time.

My family had a similar washer back in the early '70s. I was able to buy the matching dryer with my very first paycheck. Your video has me thinking of getting this washer. Adding this to my "prepper" collection.

Where to buy one and how much? Thanks

Wow! Never knew this

My grandma had a similar washer in the 70s - early 80s . I helped her with it.

Your clothes last longer this way.

realize this is an older video, but I have a Lot of clothing I Dont put in the dryer at all (t shirts etc. that I normally hang up throughout my apartment..and I'm wondering if> when you take clothing out after the spin cycle, >Is it Closer to Dry than wnen you do a regular load?? ?? thank you

@@izzyjones7108 you can spin them out for a longer time if you want and I found that the clothes were drier than when then come out of a regular washer. I had to hang my clothes to dry for years (very common here in Australia) and would only use a dryer in an emergency - we couldn’t afford to run a dryer when my babies were small. Even now I have an amazing washer and dryer and money is not an issue, we still hang our clothes out to dry 90% of the time.
