A true gem of a find!
This is a great machine, it sits in my shower tray with the water hose attached to the tap and the drainage hose into the plughole. I can fit a reasonable size load into the washer, probably the equivalent of a medium sized load of a conventional machine and it washes quickly and thoroughly. The drum size of the spinner is smaller so 1 wash load takes two or 3 spin loads depending on what it is, ie bedding, towels heavyweights I split into 3 spinloads. But again, its a really quick spin but everything comes out almost bone dry, its way better than the spin cycle on any other machine I've ever used. So, yes, its a case of wash, drain, spin, rinse, drain, spin, but as each cycle is so fast and effective its no big deal. I live on a boat and space, weight restraints, plumbing etc all make a conventional machine impossible for me, so this is a absolute gem of a find. I would recommend this to anyone to be honest.

Portable washing machine
I bought this machine for a specific purpose to wash some horse boots that I didnโt want to go in my own machine. I have to say that it did the job pretty well! Youโve got to make sure that you put plenty of water in the wash side otherwise the items will sink to the bottom and it wonโt wash. Itโs only a 15 min wash - but that was fine for what I wanted. The spin was ok but I could only put one boot in a time. It did the job to a reasonable standard and was a lot better than I thought it would be! It was good value for money, quiet and a manageable size to carry from the garage to the patio easily.

Amazing little machine!
I got laughed at when I told my other half and friends that I had bought this machine to take on our camping trip but I was the envy of fellow campers! :-) It's small, light and very efficient. It sat on the deck of our cabin and was used everyday. Washing and rinsing out clothing and wetsuits was quick and simple, no more doing it by hand! It fitted far more items than expected but I left larger items like towels and hoodies for the 'proper' washing machines. I could fit 3 spring wetsuits (the long sleeve, cheeky bottom kind) in for a rinse and the spinner would take 2 at a time. The spinner is very efficient and clothing comes out pretty dry. Yes emptying and re filling was a bit of a faff as I positioned it where it could drain off the side but wouldn't reach the tap but 4 big buckets full was enough for a full wash, but it's so quick it's not a big deal. I used Ariel Gel which worked well and the water is as hot as you put in (not boiling!). Slight improvements could be made with the filling hose; make it stronger and longer maybe, but I'm sure I could get another one. Overall a perfect little machine for your camping/boat holidays. I've even used it at home instead of my normal machine for quick washes and rinses.

Utter rubbish!
Utter garbage. It was bigger than described somehow, but still the right size for a temp stand in until I could replace the big automatic. Set it up ready for a trial run. Put a t-shirt in the washer and jet it do its thing for a wee while. Chugga chuggaโฆ fine. Then onto the spinner. Set it for a short spinโฆ drain pipe into a wee bucket. 30 seconds later and it blew up. Flashes and two loud bangs and some smoke. Unplugged, drained and boxed back up. A piece of junk. Iโm better off hand washing and wringing then into the DriBuddy. Trying to arrange for it to be taken away and getting a refund is an adventure. I will not be paying for this to be picked up. Itโs faulty I shouldnโt have to pay for it to be taken away. If no refund then itโs getting taken to the recycle centre for destruction. Preferably at the hands of an angry gorilla. Donโt buyโฆ a rock in a river would be more effective.

Bought as a backup for handwashing, I haven't use the main machine at all in months
I've never got on that well with fully automatic machines tbh and am used to hand washing all delicates eg work clothes and just putting them on the patio to drip. Nowadays too lazy, live in a flat - went looking initally for a spin drier. After living abroad for a few years I got used to using a large plastic twin tub in the bathroom. Due to space contraints here had to size right down and chose this. Didn't imagine that this compact twin tub would actually be big enough for sheets, duvet covers, towels and even my fleece dressing gown, but each fits in the washer and the spinner. Even more useful by a happy accident it sits neatly on the loo seat, fills via electric shower and drains into the bath as per the photo (note it only drains out by gravity). It stores neatly beside the loo and doesn't get in the way. It actually washes really well and dries amazingly, certainly better than the automatic which probably needs replacing. So seems that I replaced it with this. These machines do require supervision to fill, and ensure hose is draining into bucket, sink, shower or bath and not all over the floor, and the spin tub needs to be loaded with the clothes evenly so it works smoothly. But with this I can spin delicates for a few secs secs and then hang up to finish drying. So supervision time is required but you are in control.

Very easy to use
This machine is ideal for small loads, although I did find the hoses a bit flimsy. Washes well and spins brilliantly. Glad I bought it.

Get it right and you will be overjoyed!
Ok I nearly sent it back! Had collection organised and thought hang on, read reviews again and BANG got it. The wash side was awesome from the get go, but could not get the spinner to do it's thing. I had read reviews saying banging on sides, yh got that, then read reviews saying came out almost dry....definitely didnt get that! So here's the sitch.....u have to get the amount in the spinner spot on weight wise or u get the banging and the soggy. Get it right and boi does that thing go. Only spun for 3 mins (goes up to 5) and honestly almost dry!!! Cancelled collection and did another round ๐ get it right and it will be your best appliance. Dont overload washer side, and switch items round for spinner. Eg I did a vest top and long sleeved top with socks and a bra worked a treat!

YouTube video on using one, handy space saver. Labour intensive but can control washing
Great solution to front loading washing machine & boiler breaking down during coronavirus lockdown & shielding. Delivered very quickly, people commented that it looks good. There is a YouTube video on how to use it though it has a very good little manual. I think it helps to have some experience of a twin tub. It is nostalgia for me because I had one in my teens. No need to plumb in just plug in & put draining tube in sink or washing up bowl. It drains by gravity so the tube needs to be lower than the machine. At 11kg it is pretty easy to lift up there. I'm not great at lifting but you can drain it into a washing up bowl. Clothes super dry & nice & clean. UK 3 pin plug as I see some wondered in the questions. I think mine got a little wire trapped in transit because I needed to loosen the panel with the dials a tiny bit then it worked perfectly.. As may be expected it is a little Labour intensive but actually it is quite good being able to control little loads & leave some things until last. hose feeding water in has hard set plastic end for tap so may not work on most taps but I have a hose for a single tap already & it doesn't take long to fill up with jugs of water if you have to. Tap water is warm enough to achieve a 60ยฐ wash which should be used for towels. The manual asks you not to fill it directly from a kettle to avoid melting plastic. Remember to turn the dial back from 'drain' before you fill. You should wait for spinner to stop before putting your hand in but it seems to have a safety feature of stopping quickly when you open the lid. Always put in the little spinner topper provided as this helps stop the clothes flying out but clothes in a laundry bag maybe even pillow case stay in place. Fits anywhere a little bigger than the average microwave. Easily fits in a bath towel & single duvet cover. Not sure it could fit a big bath sheet towel or double duvet cover in the spinner but it may do. Over all it is a God send in my circumstances
