Giantex Portable Mini Compact Twin Tub Washing Machine 20lbs Washer Spain Spinner Portable Washing Machine, Blue+ White

I waited a few weeks to write a review so I could get plenty of use out of it first. My overall opinion is if you don't have a washer and dryer set for whatever reason you absolutely should get this! Especially if you are in a small space like I am. Pros: -Only takes 20 minutes run time (see cons), so even though you have to wash smaller loads, you can get quite a bit done in a reasonable amount of time. - Compact. I have it sitting in my kitchen/dining area, which is not big at all. You do have to make sure it is level, so be aware of that when planning where to put it. -MOSTLY quiet. (See cons.) -Comes with a water-filling hose and connection. I was originally holding it to my faucet (I don't have an adaptor, so I had to hold it) and it worked well enough, but honestly, filling up pitchers worked much better. -Works brilliantly on 2 gallons of water, so it doesn't take a lot per load. -EVERYTHING IS CLEAN! Cons: -Has about 5 seconds of noise and shaking at the very beginning and end of the dryer's cycle. Overall, this isn't really an issue for me, because it's such a short amount of time. -Does not completely dry. I have to hang my clothes up for a day before they are completely dry. However, it does dry MOST of the way. Much, MUCH more than I was expecting. -Getting the ratio of soap to water to clothes down takes practice, which is frustrating. -Having to have somewhere balanced for it to drain is kind of a pain, but easy enough to figure out. (I.e., it won't work in most bathtubs, because they tend to be slanted.) The drain hose works on gravity, so you have to be careful. Something to note: the instructions said powdered detergent, so I haven't been brave enough to try liquid in it yet. I do know you can use both a dryer sheet and the scent booster beads in it. Overall, I absolutely recommend it! I have been having to go to the laundromat and this thing has made my life so much easier. The money you spend on this will save you quite a bit in the long run.

Day One! (August 2025) Packaged well, although a few tears in outside carton (took pictures). I spent many hours (days) looking at every "manual" "portable" small washing machine (Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, etc). Read all the one/two star bad reviews. Discounted those low-star reviews if it pertained to damaged packaging, bad delivery, leaky/broken hoses, or hoses that don't fit U.S. plumbing, etc. Not anything I care about. Just functionality. This machine on day one with a smallish test load (2 pair of men's 2XL sweatpants and one t-shirt) outside on slightly 2-degree concrete slope (think driveway that dips out to street), REALLY washed the clothes. Could have put more in, had to test the amount of clothes and water needed. Several observations: (1) one Tide pod is WAY too much soap, (2) water does splash a lot, because of slight downhill slope to concrete, the washer "wiggled", so didn't level it properly, (3) doesn't remove some cat hair (have 2 long-haired Ragdoll cats, and my brand-new Whirlpool washer doesn't do better), (4) there was a very small leak underneath and will have to see what the problem is, (5) haven't figured out how to get the filter out and clean yet, (6) the washer agitation and "dryer" spin are really good, (7) Read the 4/5-star reviews from other people on how this washer operates -- toss the little tiny booklet that comes with it -- had to use a magnifying glass to read some of the non-U.S. verbiage, (8) the water drained just fine on the concrete slope, just picked up one corner about 2 inches to see what else came out - not much, (9) AND MOST IMPORTANT TO ME -- this washer will NEVER be inside a home/dorm/apartment, etc. - only outside, and I can lift it when empty (82-year-old female). Don't believe the description that it will work inside an RV (trailer or motorhome - I've never seen an RV yet that would accommodate this inside unless in the shower - and I don't want to ruin the floor if it does leak or have to lift it in and out of the shower each time - I'll just leave it outside where we park for weeks at a time). Because we spend several months in the warmer southern states out in the desert with no hook-ups (i.e., retired seniors), I wanted a washer I could manually fill outside and drain. To fill, I will be using empty cat litter plastic jugs and draining on the nearby cactus and shrubs. I'll fill a lot of these jugs when we fill the RV tank in town. We hold 90 gallons in the tank and I can add some hot water in one jug, but usually wash in cold anyway. I've only done one smallish load, but the machine seems quite sturdy (although "rocks" when agitator is going) and drained okay. It will take one queen bed sheet at a time, and probably several more clothing items than the one load it did an hour ago. In case there were problems from the beginning, I didn't want to overload the washer on the first cycle. So far with just the one small load, I like it and for the several months we live in our motorhome, I won't have to haul clothes back and forth to a laundramat (wait for people to finish their laundry, get quarters, wait inside for a couple of hours, and sometimes get really dirty washers). Once we get to our southern destination (November 2025), and get set up, if there are any more concerns, I'll add to this review, but can't fault anything so far (other than small underside leak which I think is just coming from the hose hookup.

I love these washers! But the Durability is just not there for long turn uses I've had two of these over the years and they have worked great in a pinch. they wash better than most full-size washers I've seen/used. the design isn't bad, but the plastic is a little on the cheaper side. Where this product fails is in the washer motor the agitation is fine and the sin rate is okay but if you put any heavy clothes in it can't handle the load over time. when I had one at my apartment, we just use it for if we needed something washed fast for next day wear. But I got a new one when I got my camper and i was washing more. it worked well for about a year washing every other day and then the motor went out. The price point is good and if not seeing a lot of uses it'll last my first one lasted two years.

I bought this machine about three and a half years ago. I do my laudry every week and that includes queen sized bedding and smaller blankets. I even do my bath robe a fuzzy housecoat. I have used this from the day I pulled it out if the box and it still performs like it did on day one. The washer side really beats the clothes clean and can handle a single person's weekly attire easily. Socks and underwear are a load, up to approx eight t-shirts, I usually do two hoodies or sweats together as a load. The spinner is something taken from a NASA lab. It's a damned centrifuge. It really spins and gets about 85% of the water out. After that I hang them for about an hour or two and they're compley dry. I have a small apartment so the size is perfect. I put it in my shower and drain it right there. It's super light, which is good because I'm terminal and loosing strength every day. Easy to run, light, cleans clothes well, has worked every weekend for three and a half years. This thing paid for itself in three months if I had to go to the laudry mat. It owes me nothing and I would buy another if it ever crapped out.

What I liked: it’s actually light and compact. It has a hose for the kitchen sink or bathroom sink but you need an adapter, I didn’t buy it but I just put it in the bathtub and filled it with the shower head (I have a long one) and it takes 3-5 mins to fill up. I add the detergent (I use TruEarth strips) or mainly for baby clothes to clean. I think that overall I would like to have a dryer option cause in the winter I can’t set a whole bunch of clothes quickly if I have to hang to dry - plus it’s winter now so I can’t use that, the clothes will be really hard haha. If you don’t mind that, and you want to save money on the dryer than this will definitely benefit you because the clothes water wringer works really good honestly. It’s not really loud either, likes average noise. And yes, the emptying of the dirty water is easier in the bath tub. Also, don’t forget to clean the filter inside the wash portion of the machine - lint in there. Overall, 4/5 because I personally can’t wait for the clothes to dry out and I can’t find a place to store it in my apartment cause of all the other things I have (like baby toys etc) but I’d still high recommend it!

I like this product because it does wash more in each mode, seems bigger than my old portable washer. You need very little detergent, can likely get away with 1/2 tbsp or 1 tsp. Otherwise, the speed of agitation leaves it very foamy. If that happens, I can take items out and spin for a minute, put back in the washing side. NEVER RINSE CLOTHES IN THE SPIN SIDE. I wrecked two machines this way, floods the motor so it cannot drain. If you need a rinse, rinse in the washing side. I don't care what you see or hear. Also, good idea to give the motor a break and don't run on 15 mins all the time, 9 mins is good and 6 mins for softener or rinse cycle. If heavily stained, short cycles mixed with soaking will work very well. I usually start out at 9 mins, let soak for 30 mins and agitate couple more times for 5 mins while it soaks again. Pros are that this is a light machine, has strong agitation and lint catcher. I can wash a lot of cloths in there and can wash fleece bed blankets, I sleep on a full bed size. Blankets do agitate BUT you should make sure blankets drape over the side to allow draining and you would need a bigger spin dryer as this one does not spin bigger blankets. I have a larger Panda spin dryer that spins the blankets. Take care of the motor with breaks will make it last longer and never use water to rinse stuff in the spinner, just the wash side, should last quite a while. Couple of updates, I do not mind the speed of the washer, if washing clothes they are put in a mesh bag or done in my other washer, otherwise the fast agitation means I require less soap put in. I put probably 1/4 of the level one shown on the cap for my tide. Less than ideal was the fact that even with lint filters, the one that comes with the machine and a couple of the floating ones, quite a bit of gunk went down the drain causing a couple of days of agressive plunging. Other issue with the filter in the machine, the mesh is coming unattached from the machine. I have stitched up the mesh and stitched to the holder and clipped back in. Going to keep water mostly below the machine's lint filter and rely on floating lint filters, I have attached zipties to reinforce the floating lint filters and they work fine as the foam head likes to fall off without all the reinforcement. Will also get something to collect the gunk at end of hose. I also keep drain more clear with hot but not boiling water.

Let me start off by saying this thing does NOT supply heat - the dryer works by spinning. Additionally, anything thats high in lint WILL fill the lint trap faster, and get lint on your other clothes. You may not want to use brand new linty filled fabrics in this thing, do a few loads in a normal machine first to get some of it off, perhaps. I have been using this for my baby's clothes and linens and it's been a game changer. I don't worry about others' toxic detergents building up on her stuff and it hangs to dry fairly quickly. I have yet to use cloth diapers with this, but I already know the spin dryer will work well - you can turn cloth diapers inside out and have the waterproof lining inwards, so the spin cycle will pull out water and excess debris. This machine also gets stains out pretty well. BUT BE WARNED - if you presoaked something to get stains out, like with dish detergent and oil on clothes - rinse it out well before putting it in here. Even a tablespoon of soap is almost too much for this machine, so go easy on the soap. IDK if this happened with others, but my water inlet on one side was blocked, so when I went to use it, water splashed up and went all over the top of the machine - bad because there's wires underneath that section! Double check that water is able to flow with a funnel and a cup or something before attempting to jet water through the inlet. Due to my defect, they refunded me so I could replace the mini hose inside the part, so their customer service is pretty good, too. Is this a perfect machine? No. Is this a pretty great machine? Yes. I recommend for those with babies and communal laundry facilities.

this little machine is great for small spaces. However, I’m in the process of returning it and getting my money back simply because the dryer does not dry your clothes at all. I live in a one bedroom apartment with a very small bathroom. There is nowhere for me to hang dry my clothes and drying them outside is not an option seeing as I live in one of the coldest cities in Canada. The machine does an amazing job at washing the clothes and getting out all the grime, but when it comes to drying it sucks. The max time that you can set on the dryer it’s five minutes. I’ve never had clothes dry for five minutes and come out even somewhat damp. My clothes were soaked. Even after I had continuously reset the five minute timer over a span of 45 minutes, my clothes were still wet. I’m really hoping that my return goes through otherwise I’m out $270. Another thing I’ll mention is that The plug is extremely short and I needed to use an extension cord in order to have it sit in my bathtub while it was doing its thing. One last thing, mine came damaged at the back but thankfully it didn’t affect the washer. it also leaks if you try to move it at all while there is still water in the washer. I highly suggest looking for a different washer/dryer of this kind unless you live somewhere where you can hang dry your clothes.
