ZenStyle Portable Washer Compact Twin Tub 9.9 LB Mini Top Load Washing Machine Washer/Spinner w/ 6.57 FT Inlet Hose

I'll admit that I was skeptical of a plastic washing machine, but this thing is incredible! It's been three months since I got it. I'm a single man who uses it about twice a week. Three times per week is recommended. It has caused me absolutely no problems. I took it out of the box, hung it in the shower, filled it with water, and washed it. There is no need to put anything together. It's also of very high quality. It isn't just a bunch of cheap plastic that will degrade in a year's time. This is a fantastic device! br>br>This can be placed ANYWHERE there is a drain nearby. I have a studio apartment that is quite small. I don't have a traditional tub and shower in my bathroom. It's nothing more than a shower edging. So I simply put it in the shower, drop the drain hose on the floor, fill it with water, and wash it. Don't be fooled into thinking it doesn't wash as well as a full-size garment; it does! In both the wash and spin cycles, it is remarkably quiet. There was almost no sound. So, if you live in a multi-family housing development, You won't have to worry about annoying your neighbors if you live in a multi-unit apartment complex. It's also a money saver! br>br> Because the motor spins the tub in one direction for a few seconds before coming to a halt during the wash cycle. It pauses for a few seconds before spinning in the opposite direction for the same amount of time. As a result, it consumes very little energy, whereas a full-size washer employs a much larger motor that operates continuously throughout the wash cycle. In the unit, there are two separate motors. Furthermore, the motors appear to be of high quality and power. I'm not concerned that they'll fail in a year or two. br>Another way it saves money is that it does not have a heating element for drying clothes. That is a HUGE money saver! Instead, a stainless steel basket is housed in a separate compartment. The other motor spins the wet clothes at such a high speed that it almost completely dries them. It revolves around a 0 degree axis. The timer is set to 5 minutes automatically. There's more than enough to get the job done. (Note: Items made entirely of synthetic materials are almost completely dry when they are removed from the dryer. To the touch, it's only a smidgeon damp. Cotton jeans and towels, for example, come out damp and require drying time (depending on your climate; if you live in a humid area, it may take a half day to dry the heavier cotton items. )br>Another way it saves money is that you only use about a tablespoon of laundry detergent. Seriously, that's a LOT of food. br>br>This nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn My 9-pound machine can wash a pair of jeans, a few pairs of underwear, and a pair of socks in a single load. Alternatively, each load could include one full-size thick cotton bath towel and a few smaller items. I can easily fit full-size bed sheets in it, but only the top sheet, with the bottom sheet being loaded separately. But it's fine with it, and I'm pretty sure the 9. A queen-size comforter would be handled by a 9-pounder, while a full-size comforter would be handled by a 9-pounder. No way, it's not going to happen. Go to the laundromat with that. (One of the 13-pound machines, however, should be able to handle a comforter. ) ) It can handle up to 5 people. 7 t-shirts made of 100% cotton Per load, there are shirts. br>br>When compared to a full-size automatic, these machines require a lot more "hands-on" work. Because you go through a wash cycle (which takes about ten minutes), After 12 minutes, turn the knob to the "drain" setting, wait 20 seconds for it to drain, then refill with water and turn the knob to the wash cycle (which is actually the rinse cycle). I rinse for about 6 minutes, then return to turn the drain knob. After that, transfer the clothes to the right-hand compartment and set the timer for 5 minutes to spin dry the clothes. You can fill up the wash tub for the next load while you're spinning. (YES, compartments, settings, timers, and motors are all separate systems, so you can wash and spin at the same time. ) All of this may appear to be a lot of work, but it's not. It's almost enjoyable because it's so quick and easy! I bought some cheap extendable clothes hanging bars to hang clothes on and placed them between the hallway walls. I simply pick up the unit and place it in the back hallway when I'm finished washing. It's so light that even a 90-year-old grandmother can move it around. PROS: br>br>

- Because the loads are smaller, they can be handled more easily. This would not be an issue on larger machines. If it turns out to be too small after you buy it, exchange it or give it to someone who needs it. Alternatively, you could donate it to a small business such as an animal shelter, hair salon, food bank, or charity organization. br>br>Hope this information was useful!.

This is a revised version of the previous review. I finally got around to using the product and was blown away. My clothes were spotless when I got them out of the dryer. You'll have to adjust to the mini washer, but once you do, it'll be fine. You'll be pleased. br>Here are some suggestions that you might find useful. br>Fill the tub with water and about 2 tblsp liquid detergent, then turn it on and let it agitate before adding clothes to avoid oversudsing. br>Place a nylon over the drainage hose to prevent lint from clogging your pipes. When you've done about two loads, you'll notice a lot of lint in the nylon. br>If you have a heavy item, such as a sweatshirt, don't wear jeans with it; instead, wear lighter items such as tees, underwear, socks, and so on. Heavy items do not agitate properly. br>After washing, I fill the wash side with water to rinse (this works for me) and add a tablespoon of fabric softener to help cut suds. Last but not least, I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLACING IT DIRECTLY IN THE TUB! br>For ten dollars, I bought a plastic step stool. 00 at Walmart, which raises it a foot above the tub and supports up to 200 pounds. Alternatively, the styrofoam in which it is packaged. Wrap it well in packing tape and plastic from Dollar Tree, then place it on top of the washer in the tub to keep the bottom from getting wet. When I'm finished, I leave the lids open overnight and the drainage tube down before putting them away the next morning. br>After each use, make sure to clean the lint trap inside the washer. Finally, for those of you who live in apartments, I keep mine hidden in the bottom of my linen closet.

The good news is that I really enjoy this washer. Because it's my first and I just got it, I'll update with a durability report later. I like how light it is (though it does become heavier when filled with water, so be careful) and how simple it is to use. Others who claimed it didn't dry their clothes were incorrect; it does dry them, but you must use the spin cycle multiple times. It's almost completely dry after three uses, so I'd recommend using it four or five times to dry your clothes. (SN: I haven't washed jeans, sweatpants, or towels in here yet, so it may take a little longer. ) It's small, so you'll have to do a few rounds of clothes. The downside is that when you use the spin cycle, it emits a smell, which it did the first time I used it. It's tolerable, but it's strange that it does this because it's new. That's all there is to it. br>br>All right, that's all there is to it. Until we meet again. br>br>Update 10/24/20: This machine was used four times, and the spin cycle was used twelve times (3 times for each use), before the spin cycle stopped working. It can't spin anymore. I'll say what it's really for: it gets the majority of the water out of your clothes, but it's not something you can use on a regular basis. So I took a star off because that's a little disappointing for something brand new, especially since I didn't wash anything heavy in it.

For small spaces, this is ideal. The level of noise is not too bad. I'm nine months pregnant and have no problems moving it around my bathroom. br>br>The problem is that I only use it for cloth diapers. It only has enough room for about 8 pocket diapers and their inserts. It simply appears to be a significant amount of effort. I can only use a small amount of soap or the soap will take an eternity to get out of the machine and onto my diapers. If you've ever washed diapers before, you're aware that any soap left on them causes buildup. Will cause a rash on the baby or repel the diaper, causing it to leak. They also don't seem to be getting a thorough cleaning. It's likely that I'll have to reduce the load size even further, which is exhausting. br>br>The dryer is great, but it's a pain to use. It will not spin properly if it is not completely filled and stuffed. Not to mention that things get stuck beneath it and are difficult to remove. br>br>I truly regret not choosing a different machine. br>br>**update! We've only been using it for about 6 months and it's already broken!.
