Giantex 17.6lbs Compact Twin Tub Washing Machine: Perfect for Small Spaces

Maya G.: We have a seasonal cabin (with power) that has no well or running water so we had to get about 100 gallons of water at a time, so it’s a precious commodity. We bought this washer to do occasional small loads in between trips to laundromat. We manually dumped in water for each wash - I originally had the unit on our back deck with drain over the side. It was easy to use and move this way. But is installed 50@ gallon water tanks with pump, so now I have the washer inside - draining through the floor, with a water source! This thing works perfectly! I did a load yesterday with Men’s (mine) clothing, four pair of shorts, four shirts, 5 underwear, 4 pair of socks, and hand towel and wash cloth. In reality, I could have done more. The spin tub works better than you would expect, but you still have to hang dry your clothes to finish. We have and outside clothesline and indoor rack. This machine has added so much to our humble little cabin. Highly recommended. Now we will see how long it lasts!!

Janelle: The hose attachment wasn't big enough to hook up to either sinks of mine and appeared to have been used at some point as there was some staining and residue left behind in the washer itself. Nothing a little vinegar couldn't clean, but has me wondering if I unknowingly bought a used one for the brand new price🤔 It's also kind of noisy for such a small appliance and the spinner/dryer will shake, rattle, and role until it gets going for a minute or so. If you've got nosey neighbors and arent allowed one of these i suggest getting a different brand. Oh and the drain hose😡......be prepared to make a mess! I eventually gave up using a bucket and put the machine inside my tub to do the laundry so I don't flood my bathroom again and again and again. The drain hose is definitely not long enough to put it up and over my tub or toilet. Best advice to give is a little goes a long long way with the amount of detergent or bleach you use. You'll be stuck rinsing them over and over and over until you got all the soap out. It does do a good job in cleaning them thoroughly and tou have the ability to time it as long as 15 minutes,however it seems a bit rough even while on the gentle cycle. I...

Maritza Pryor: The drainage hose doesn’t have enough force to have it directly to the sink. It has to be laid out on the floor. Also the water doesn’t all come out of the hose and it leaves a stinky smell. Other than that it is amazing

Dave NeustaeterDave Neustaeter: I grew up with this type of washing machine except it was bigger and the water from the spinner pumped into the wash tub. It used less water. But it is getting the job done. Clothes come out lots drier then any front load washer ever can.

KENNETH R SMITH: I have a very small apartment, and wanted something that I could use, that would save me having to put my laundry in a bag.....putting it in my e-trike, and carting it down to the laundramat where it would cost me anywhere from $15-$20 dollars to do my laundry.

I saw this on Amazon.....read the reviews, and decided to give it a go.

It's well worth the price, I paid, and it would pay for itself in 10, or so uses.

There are a few drawbacks, that were unexpected, but easily oversome. They are:-

1. The spin dryer is not heated. It dries by squeezing water out of the clothes by by pressure of the spinning, so the clothes come out still very damp.

2. It uses gravity to drain the tub, so if you don't have a drain on your floor, you'll need to elevate the washer, and put the hose in a bucket, and make sure that it doesn't overflow. You can stop the washer from draining, so that you can empty the bucket, then continue on.

3. The lint filter is pretty useless. Instead of being on the dryer side, it's in the washing tub, and is very difficult to remove, until you ket the knack of it. I watched a user video on YouTube, and that's where I learned how...

Linda CayerLinda Cayer: Au début j’ai eu un petit soucis avec le vidange de l’eau mais après tout c’est bien passé . Le point négatif est que pour la vidange de l’eau je dois prendre un seau et rester là avec le boyau car celui-ci doit rester en bas . Ça aurait été préférable que le boyau soit plus long et pouvoir faire le vidange de l’eau dans le levier . Mais je l’aime bien et c’est pratique .

Stuart Bourn: Perfect for keeping up with your laundry without trekking to the shared laundry facility or launderette. Washes very well and spins almost dry (hang clothes to finish drying). Designed for small, lighter material clothing but can do jeans, sheets, and one blanket. Spinner is 8lb capacity and wash 12lb. but cannot be run at the same time (drain must be open during spin). Time and use will show what weight of clothes gives the best wash - an aggressive agitation during wash tells you the load is correct. - slow movement of the clothes indicates overloading. Drain is gravity so pipe must lay flat below the bottom of the washer - I built a dolly to allow rolling in place and gain height for the pipe to go over the shower stall lip. Manual is weak but says do not use in a bathroom - eh? Where else do you have water and a floor drain?. Water hose is short and needs a MacGyver creation to connect to water supply. Some show using a funnel hanging from the shower head. Power cord is short so you probably need and extension cord - use the shortest possible (12g) and connect only to a GFCI outlet (ground fault). UTube videos help a lot - several show placing it in the bathtub and filling...

V Mason: This was just what I needed/wanted! Works like a dream, a bit labor intensive if you hook it up to the sink and have to drain manually. Good choice for the money. Does a medium size load in 15 mins, then spin, rinse and spin again...almost dry! I'm pleased with this product. If you need something for 2-3 people, get the next larger size.

Ricky: This machine is good IF: You must leave your home to do laundry AND you must pay every time you do laundry AND you can lift 20-25LB comfortably every time you do laundry, or you have a drain hole in your floor.

The intake and drainage tubes are totally useless. You will need to use a bucket to fill it. You will need to put it in your bathtub (before filling it) so you can drain it... or drain it into the drainage hole in your floor.

Use natural soap, or get ready to have artificial soap residue all over your clothes. Or you can just drain it and refill it with more water for a rinse cycle but that takes twice as much time and effort.

Overall I am saving money by not paying $5 per load in my apartment building, and nobody will steal my clothes from this washing machine lol. 3/5 stars would be a bit unfair.

Andrea Italian: I do need this machine so I can get the laundry done
without running down my basement a kazillion times a day.
So that's a plus . BUT......

There are however things you really need to consider about the use of it:

1. It is not easy to operate, it's HEAVY to move in and out of the tub. Hence it is "semi automatic"

But moving it IN AND OUT OF THE TUB is my ONLY option based on the shortness and too smallness of the inlet hose and distance of the plug.
Inlet hose doesn't fit the faucet and is too short.
Drain hose is very short so needs to be set up CLOSE TO A DRAINING SPOT
Plug cord is pretty short so needs extension to reach to the wall outlet.

You need to see if yours would have the same problem !

THE MACHINE NEEDS TO BE ELEVATED to drain!
(but I just left the hose dropped in the tub and it drains).

However, I can't use it outside of the tub without having.
something to elevate the hose into the sink or tub and because as I mentioned,
" The hoses and plugs are too short to reach the outlet and faucet".
So, you need to buy a shower hose with long enough length to reach the faucets.

Note, since the "drain...
