Title: Great machine, easy to use, holds a lot of clothes!
Review: I purchased this to use in a 23 foot travel trailer. I tell you this, because its size is relative. In a travel trailer, it is large. In an apartment, it is small. No matter what the size, it is a lifesaver during the pandemic, when I donât want to stand in laundromats for hours.SIZE & WEIGHTFor a travel trailer, this takes up a good deal of space. It is about 20 inches square, and weighs about 58 lbs. if you live in a smaller travel trailer, and have a shower, it will comfortably fit within your shower. If you use your shower daily, like I do â it is going to be in the way. That said, I WOULD STILL PURCHASE IT, and am keeping it.It has two wheels attached to the backside. And it has two offset notches in the top for handles. Iâm pretty strong, and I still find it cumbersome to move. (I purchased a utility dolly to make it easier to move around my travel trailer.)CAPACITYIt does a fantastic job. And, it holds a good deal of laundry. I am able to wash two bath towels, two hand towels, and two wash clothes in one load. (The pile of purple towels in the video are the ones I washed.) Additionally, I usually wash 4 to 5 pairs of jeans. (But with five, I need to add water to the highest level.) I also washed 10 pieces of long underwear (shirts and leggings), plus bras and socks in one load.EASE OF USEIt has a lot of convenient settings. I find myself usually setting it on either heavy duty, or normal. The normal cycle provides a wash, and two rinses, in 45 minutes. I use about a tablespoon of HE detergent. It has a compartment to add the detergent, and allows you to lift the lid and add rinse in the same compartment and during the rinse cycle. You push your start button, let it do itâs thing, and it beeps five or six times to let you know when itâs finished.HOOK UPIt comes with a 3 foot hose. It is a perfectly fine length, if you are setting it next to your sink while using it. If you were going to put it in the shower, or in any other room, you were probably gonna need a longer hose. (Make sure you research and purchase an adapter for both the washer-to-hose, and hose-to-sink aerator.). The drain hose is a much more generous length than the water inlet hose. It has an attachment that hangs it on the washer, and the same attachment can be used to hold it on the sink, tub, or shower basin. (I would purchase filters you attach to the end of the drain hose. It has a lint filter, but it misses a lot â and you donât wanna clog up your pipes.)RV PEOPLE: It is very efficient. However, if you are in an RV, it uses a LOT of water. Make sure your gray tank valve is open. Two full washer loads will fill up most gray tanks. And, two washer loads will also use most of your freshwater tank. Electricity use is minimal.SPINNING / DAMPNESSItâs spinner goes at approximately 800 RPM. That spinning speed, get your clothes pretty dry. Since I have a small TT, the clothes are in the way while drying. Accordingly, I purchased an additional spinner that goes 3200 RPM. That one gets it dry enough for lightweight clothes to dry in 2 to 3 hours, and bluejeans to dry overnight.(Check out my other reviews for the spinner I purchased.)I havenât done a lot of reviews, but I thought this was definitely worth the effort . Hopefully, Iâve given you some useful information.

Title: Six Month Review: Completely Satisfied
Review: We spent a month looking for the perfect portable washer. There are a lot on the market, with varying reviews and experiences. We were a little hesitant about all of them but this one seemed promising: And it is! I'll provide information about our set up experiences at two different houses followed by a pro and con list. At the end, I'll provide some tips based on other reviews I read in case you're worried about some other experiences--many problems people had were easy for us to figure out.Set up: No need to install too much. Depending on the type of faucet you have in your sink will depend on how you hook it up. We had to get a quick connector and wound up placing it on our bathroom sink in the first house we lived in. We weren't allowed to install a washer, so this was the best solution. We got a longer hose off amazon to intake water and a longer hose to have it pump out that simply attached to the existing hose.After we moved, we were able to set up the quick adapter in our new bathroom sink but the sink itself did not have a sensor on it to tell it to stop pumping out water when the washer didn't need it. This has *nothing* to do with the washer, we just had to set it up a little differently. The washer is still perfect, it's not the washer's fault the sink wasn't set up how it needed to be. This shouldn't be an issue for most situations, but we came up with an easy solution.I found an adapter for shower heads that allows you to have two shower heads and pull a "tab" to switch between them, so only one shower head is on at once. I don't remember what this adapter was called but it was easy to find at home depot (probably better price at amazon). From there, I needed a quick connect to make it easy to connect and disconnect the hose. The one for the sink isn't the same size threading or something so it wouldn't work. Instead, we got a garden hose quick connector (this is something that would allow you to quickly dis/connect a spray handle from a hose). Once I figured out what I needed, it was a very simple set up!Pros:-It pumps the water out for you unlike other washers.-There are a lot of settings to fit your different needs.-It stops whatever its doing when the lid is opened.-It can be paused and restarted.-It will beep at you if something is wrong.-Directions are clear and easy to read. I was very upset with some of the other reviewers and the rude language they used regarding this.-Washes bedsheets and blankets within the weight category.-You can pause to add fabric softener.-Warm or cold water (don't use super hot water).-Doesn't need a lot of detergent. I use powdered detergent, one box (large) has lasted me the whole 6 months.Cons: Some of these are a bit of a stretch.-Can't use super hot water...not really an issue?-Might take some additional adapters/hoses depending on what kind of sink you have and the size of threading. This would be the same with any other washer, though.-She's a little loud, but it's not a big deal.-Mine came with a bit of a blemish on the front, it isn't a big deal and doesn't disrupt its ability to clean things whatsoever. So, rather than complaining about it I'm just looking for a cute panda-printed tape or something to place around the washer so it covers the blemish. It doesn't bother me so much that it's a pressing matter.Tips:-Bedsheets: Queen, up to 2, I usually do 1 at a time.-Blankets: I only do blankets within the weight (12lbs), 1 at a time.-If you're putting in a lot of clothes you should use the highest water setting. Some reviewers had tears in their clothes because there wasn't enough water to keep the clothes from catching on the lint trap. This isn't really a problem, it doesn't use a lot of water.-Might want little risers or spacers if your floor is not level so that the washer will be level and works well.-I would put a lint trap at the end of the outgoing hose. After trying a few things I just use organza bags now-they're cheap to buy in bulk and can be discarded.Some days I go without washing, some days I'll wash over four loads in a day back to back. I wash everything I own in this washer and I am very pleased. She handles very well, she's a real trooper. I was so worried something would go wrong but I am very glad I went with this washer over any other I was looking at.

Title: Old apartment game changer
Review: I refused to go to the laundromat more than once a week. Then Iâd get home and realize I forgot to take something to wash. Those days are OVER.I live in a small, old, upstairs apartment above our landlord. She has hookups in the basement for full size units but âthere isnât really spaceâ around all her stuff down there. Not a problem, Pandaâs got me covered now. This thing cleans well, itâs generally quiet, easy to move around, and my only complaint so far is that the timer is pretty off. A 32 min cycle really runs about 50 minutes. Still getting used to it but I am very impressed.

Title: Stopped Draining On Second Use!
Review: I bought this machine on a Monday and it arrived Tuesday afternoon. I set it up Tuesday evening and did 3 loads on Wednesday and it stopped working on Thursday! It's been a headache!! The water won't drain. I reached out to Amazon and they were as helpful as could be. They suggested I reach out to the seller and I've heard nothing back for almost 2 weeks!! I plan on returning it now! I would not suggest this product. The product arrived with dents and marks but appearance was not that big of a deal. Ugh that should have been my first sign that this was a piece of junk! It is not even worth 5 dollars. When it DID work, it was easy to use. But now the water won't drain. I've tried unhooking the filter and drain pump and hose but water is not coming out. I don't recommend and I wish I can rate ZERO STARS!

Review: Pros:-Very easy to use.-Gets the job done efficiently and quietly.-Not overly small, but still fits well in smaller apartments.Cons:-I read the manual beforehand and I don't know if it's just me, but some instructions were a little hard to understand. For the parts I didn't understand, I took to Reddit and was able to find the answers I needed.-You CANNOT overload this thing. Under absolutely no circumstances put anything larger than a throw blanket. It might work at first but overtime you will ruin the machine because it's simply not built for that. Respect it and you'll get a long lifespan out of it.Things to note:-If you live in an older home/apartment, be mindful of how you're disposing on the water that's drained out of the tub. The lint that comes off of your clothes can block pipes and cause blockages. Yes there is a lint trap in the machine, but you'll need to still be mindful of it.-Don't use a ton of detergent. You're doing smaller loads so you won't need it anyway.-Take full advantage of all the rinse cycles. Might seem like an obvious suggestion but we definitely didn't do this until the third or fourth load.-The spin cycle is your new best friend if you don't have a portable dryer to match your portable washer. Buy a drying rack, it's cheaper, and after three spin cycles (probably 15 minutes on top of a regular wash) everything will dry within a couple of hours.-The water hose that attaches to your sink will have water in it even after the cycle is done and you've turned off the machine. Make sure it's unplugged before you take this hose off because it will drip, but a good way to prevent getting water on the floor is to remove the part that attaches to the sink first, and then the one that attaches to the machine. I found that removing the sink part first made it easier to drain excess water out, because then I could tip the whole hose down into a small bowl. It's no more than a half cup of water that gets trapped in there, but it's annoying when that amount spills down the back of the machine and onto the floor.-I put three stars for maneuverability because even though it does have little wheels to help, it's pretty heavy. It's also awkward to try and tip it on an angle to get full use of the wheels. Not terrible, but it's just surprising how awkward it was.Other than that it's a great machine! Makes laundry fun and interesting.

Review: I love the design, the led display and buttons are easy to figure out. The different modes took a minute to learn, So did turning the tap off before removing the intake hose from faucet. I have done 4 loads so far, one had one tshirt too many, the machine kept shutting off would move a bit and come back on, it did this 3 times before i realized it was too much, i took out a shirt and it happily went on its way to finishing load perfectly. I was anxious to use this in an apartment because of noise, it is as quiet as can be, i did need to hold the machine down on one load with a big towel in it during the spin cycle but it was probably my paranoia making the vibrating sound louder than it was. The spin cycle is quite long, great for hang to dry stuff, but I have actually turned it off 3 minutes early twice because i dont want anyone to hear it, and the laundry was still spun well enough to hang no drips. I love this little machine. Great for one person. 36 minutes for large loads (two sweat pants 2 prs socks, 2 tshirts not bad! The only thing I dont like is there is no place to hook the intake hose when not in use, While moving it the hose falls down and residual water in it has leaked onto floor. Now I put the hose in the machine itself with lid propped open until i get in into place, then i put it resting on the back. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to save on paying for the ridiculous prices of laundromats.

Review: I searched and saved up for a small washer for my apartment, I read so many reviews about so many different washers, I finally settled on this one. I ordered it on April 14th and received it April 18th, and used it today for the first time, did 3 loads of laundry, didnât even know the washer was running and I was sitting almost right next to it. Itâs great, I have another little washer that fits in my bathtub, but with that one, you have to put water in do the wash for 15 min, then drain the water, and then add more water for rinse cycle for 15 min, then drain the water and then transfer some of the clothes to the spin dryer because not all the clothes would fit in the little dryer. It worked good enough but I decided to invest in a full automatic washer. I bought this one Panda, model # PAN638MH1, it has a lot of great reviews and I found it easy to use and I read all the instructions. I only have a couple of dislikes, or wishes, I wish both water and drain hoses were longer, I wish there was a place to put the fabric softener in the washer so I wouldnât have to add it before the rinse cycle, like my Mother used to have to do. I think I remedied that by ordering a downy fabric softener dispenser, just got it today after I finished the laundry so will try it the next time. I wish it had 4 wheels instead of just 2, guess I will have to save to buy a little rolling cart for it. I will look into getting longer hoses. I guess thatâs it for now, will update when I have used it more. I think I will try to save for a dryer so I donât have to go down to the laundry room at all in my building. I have used this washer now for over a month and it still works great, just 1 thing , I seem to have a bit of a leak where I attach the intake hose to the back of washer , not sure how to fix it but will keep trying to figure it out. This item is well worth the money

Review: I bought this washing machine because of all the amazing reviews⦠well, hereâs one more!! :)Iâm absolutely in love. Not only this washing machine is kinda cute, and it fits tight spaces, but it washes my clothes so well!! Even better then my old one that broke. And itâs almost dry when it comes out. You only have to maybe cut in half your load so you donât fill it up too much, but it has the perfect space if youâre single.I received it in 36 hours⦠36!!! I had to plug it to my sink while Iâm trying to get rid of my old one so it can take itâs place. It works wonders with the sink. I love that you can use it both with the sink and plugged in like a regular one. Entirely automatic. It super quiet too! (Before I had to put subtitles on Netflix while I was doing laundry lol.) Now itâs just perfect. Itâs just lovely. Iâm very impressed. If you are looking for a compact washing machine thatâs the real deal with no compromises, I mean. Buy this one. You wonât regret it! Iâd totally buy it again!
