COSTWAY Twin Tub Washing Machine, 8KG Total Capacity Portable Laundry Washer Spin Dryer with Timing Function & Drain Pump for Apartment Dorms Camping (Black+White, 5kg Washer+3kg Dryer)

received the washer 2 days ago it was massive compared to my old 2kg, sadly my other machine dryer packed it after 3 years. The spinner wouldn’t spin, turns out I broke it by draining and spinning at the same time.Anyway this machine itself is taller, wider and holds more water, the amount of washing I did was brilliant. Work clothes which consisted of 4 heavy duty trousers, 5 high vis, 4 hoodies, 5 T-shirts, shocks. It did it all in one drum. The power has shocked me as my previous washer could only handle a pair of trousers and a shirt at once.The machines very underrated for what it is, I will update this review if I have any issues, but I must say it washers far superior to any washing machine.The spinner is also great, and I can’t believe how quiet it is, the only downside is no option to plum it in completely, but that’s fine for me.So this is now my main go to machine, it also does bedding in a breeze which I discovered today, I’ve done 2 double beds at once, and the third after. So issues what so ever.

Ditch the flimsy fill pipe, it is rubbish. The drain needs to be below the machine, so using it on the floor means it doesn't drain well in that location. I had to pick it up to clear the pipe. All that out of the way, sit the machine on a cheap bathmat in a shower or bath and fill it from the shower head or with a bucket, (hard work) and use it just as you would a regular washing machine and it is brilliant. It has phenomenal spin. The spin on this little machine is better than the plumbed in super job I had. It has washed bedding, I do the duvet cover separate and the sheet and pillowcase together. It does t shirts and I do jeans two pairs at a time in the washer and one each for the spin. The lack of five stars is because of the dreadful fill pipe, the on floor drain issues and the manual. If you want to read the manual buy a microscope first. The pictures are not at all explicit. If you remember the machine is a portable, camping machine and it is a good price, it is a really good machine. It competes on its level with regular machines on light stuff. since reviewing this machine, I have found a real snag. I won't mark the machine down for it because everything I wrote still applies But. it is an important but, please make sure that the little plastic mat is firmly over the washing in the spinner and that it is well anchored below the two lugs. I lost the mat over the edge of the drum because I hadn't realised it was not completely below those lugs. I also, don't know how, lost a sock over the edge, I only found it while looking for the mat. The sock had wound its self around the spindle. The machine still spun like crazy so I don't know how long the sock was there. However, to get the mat and the sock out was really, really, difficult. My husband had to push his arm into the casing while I held the drum back. He ended up with a very badly bruised arm. So be careful to make sure socks and mats are well secure.

Easy to install and use. Works very well and is made to a high standard. Quite during use and takes up very little space.

ok before you buy this product be careful this is not a gravity feed twin tub, its a pump assisted one, I wanted a gravity feed one like in the advert for this machine, also is a spinner is a waste of time, clothes come out even after a 5 minute and 3 minutes still as soaking wet as they went in. washer is fine but spinner no, do not buy from this seller, I've email amazon and seller, no response, quick enough to take your money for the product, of course. but when it comes to having a faulty machine,no response at all. my advice stay clear,do not buy from here,cus if anything goes wrong, they wont correct the issue, I will never buy from this seller again.

Good clean. Powerful. However, as mentioned the drain pipe being at the bottom makes it difficult to drain easily. Second I would have preferred a longer power lead so looks like I’ll use with an extension. Fill from top rather than pipe, and make sure it’s on wash not drain when filling otherwise you get a flood lol

I needed a temporary back up due to washing machine breaking down and thought long term it might be useful to have, especially due to energy prices etc.I remember my mam having one in the 80's so knew the concept.I looked about for sometime and settled on this one due to the good reviews. I'm glad I did. It arrived quickly, was quick and easy to set up and start washing. I put mine near the sink and put it on a crate for now but I'll get a small table to put it on. It would be fine on the floor but it's easier for me that it's a bit higher. There's a pump that pumps the water out into the sink or drain or whatever you put it by. I've got a little bucket I put the drain hose in during spinning. It gets the clothes really clean. I washed emptied, rinsed, spin. It's not complicate at all. The spinner gets clothes dryer than my normal washing machine. I got the smaller capacity but can fit loads in. Spinner takes less and knocks if you overload it but if it does just stop it and take a bit out.I'm really pleased with this purchase. I love it actually. Yes it's more difficult than a normal fully automatic washing machine but I think theres lots of positives. I would consider buying a larger one in future to replace both washers if needed. I would highly recommend.
