Giantex 8 Lb Capacity Portable Automatic Washing Machine: Compact, Full-Automatic Laundry Washer/Spin

morockmorock: We bought this one to replace an old Haire laundry machine which was a little bigger than this one. Comparing with the old one, this one is relative lighter, guess many metal parts are replaced by plastic parts. But it doesn’t mean this one is worse. It just works as we expected, just less clothes. The noise is a little bit louder, but comes with one more option: soak, helps on washing better.
So basically, this one is smaller with relative rough manufacturing comparing the old Haier model. But the price is much less. So I won’t complain too much. It still worth to buy….

Janet Johnson: I like that the machine is fully automatic and easy to use

If the washer had wheels it would be easier to use as would an adapter so the water intake could be connected to a regulator washer hook up

Jack Dench: So so glad I bought this. I live in a small apartment that does not have its own laundry facility. Even if I wanted a washer and dryer I’d have no space for one or anywhere to plumb one in.

This machine has saved me from the weekly laundromat runs. It’s not big enough to wash things like bed sheets and blankets for for day to day things like clothes and towels it’s fantastic.

It’s simple to operate and finishes a typical wash in 40 mins. Cloths come out clean and fresh and relatively well dried considering the small size of the machine. It’s only a spin drier but the cloths are just damp when it’s finished, they usually can hang dry in an hour or two.

I was worried about how difficult it would be to connect but I had no trouble. I just had to swap out the diffuser on my bathroom faucet for the included quick fit attachment and that was it. Hook up the water inlet pipe to that, hook the drain pipe over the toilet bowl and then connect to power. That’s it.

Only downside is it’s not super mobile. There are spots for wheels to fit in the bottom of the machine which would make it easier to move around but none are included. That said it...

Keely: The media could not be loaded.  It's very quiet, little to no shaking when properly leveled and holds a decent amount in it. This video shown is of the first load I did. The load had 2 pairs of socks, a pair of pants and 2 shirts, I think I could have put at least one of my hoodies in it as well, that's a respectable amount!

No issues with assembly, there is a plastic plate that you screw to the bottom- you'll need your own screwdriver. My plate holes did not fully align, there's 2 that never matched up, however I screwed the rest in firmly and there is no rattling so no issue as far as I'm concerned.

The provided adaptor did not fit, as expected after reading other reviews here, so I had to fill it by hand with a pot and keep an eye on it during spin/drain to give it more water when needed - it drones when it's trying to draw water and not getting any. Tedious for sure, I will find an adaptor that works before that drives me crazy.

You can see the height of the drain vs. my sink and I found it to be too high, there was water pooling in the pipe when all was said and done and that was a watery lesson for me when I went to put it away. I think I will...

Heather Matousch: So we've had our Giantex for a few weeks now, enough time to run quite a few loads. I picked this out to replace my beloved Haier that I'd picked up used some four years ago and which had held me in good stead until recently when it began to have spinning issues. When the significant other offered to go halves on a brand new machine, I decided, well, why not.

So here we are, with this Giantex. The day of arrival, and unboxing. The first quirk to note was that the bottom panel wasn't screwed on. Now my sweetheart is handy enough but getting all the way down on the ground is difficult so this was definitely a me job. Fortunately, I'm handy enough as well with a screwdriver, but to be honest, this was something that could have been done prior to shipping.

While moving the machine to it's home, we noted a few things.
1. The outer casing of the machine is plastic and somewhat flimsy, unlike my Haier. It feels like a good push would break through that plastic. Being in a very small, cramped space, and both of us being bigger people, and having a 12-year-old in this same cramped space, I'm waiting for that day to come.
2. No wheels, which was a minor disappointment,...

AshleyAshley: The media could not be loaded.  I want to give this machine 4.5 stars but that isn't a choice. Overall, the machine is great but it definitely had a learning curve for me and I am usually very handy. I also have a few concerns about some of the other reviews, which I relied heavily on with making a decision to purchase this unit. It came packaged securely and was easy to assemble the bottom panel. Like other viewers, I did vacuum out all the loose Styrofoam pieces so they wouldn't later end up inside the parts of the machine somehow. As soon as I unpacked the machine and got it ready to install to my kitchen faucet with the  Danco 10512 Garden Hose Adapter, 55/64-Inch 27 Female x 3/4-in GHTM, Chrome  which I purchased based on another reviewer suggestion, I found this 10512 adapter did not sit very deep and securely into the water inlet hose. It fit perfectly onto my faucet but due to a smaller end that goes into the hose and the way the hose is designed, it was almost impossible to connect to the hose. So off to the local hardware store I go to find a more suitable adapter. This adapter Danco 10513  Danco 10513 15/16"-27M / 5/64"-27F X 3/4" GHTM or 55/64"-27M...
