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.

Portable washing machine
I bought this machine for a specific purpose to wash some horse boots that I didn’t want to go in my own machine. I have to say that it did the job pretty well! You’ve got to make sure that you put plenty of water in the wash side otherwise the items will sink to the bottom and it won’t wash. It’s 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.

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 60° 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

Cleans clothes well for something so compact
At first it appeared to not work, but I thought I'd check the obvious. The fuse was faulty.Providing, as with any machine, you don't overload it, it works very well for such a small machine. It cleans the clothes well.The spin works, although obviously not as well as a large machine, but it does the job adequately.

Great piece of kit
Received this morning, although delivered to the wrong address after contacting the seller to ask for a change of address due to self-isolation at my static caravan.Used the machine almost immediately on receipt. Extremely easy to use, very straight forward instructions. I used a bucket to fill the machine as the hose won’t fit on the tap, but this is not a problem as you need to use the machine at the sink for draining. I did a wash, transferred clothes into spinner, drained washer drum, put clothes back in washer drum added more water to rinse, then put in the spinner. The spinner worked like a dream, in fact the clothes were drier in this than when done in the one I have at home!Early days but initial thoughts: this is an ideal machine for a caravan/motor home etc. Takes up very little space too. Great purchase

Portable twin tub washing machine
The media could not be loaded. I found this product cost effective as it requires less water and electricity. Manageable. Not complicated. Light-weight. But, be careful with the hose because it breaks easily. You can thicken or protect the hose layer with plastic. Make sure the hose is placed lower than the machine so that the water can drain out. I say, it can fit 8-10 pairs of pants when washing. The only thing I need to do is split the load when it comes to spinning. The good thing is the spin is sturdy and strong when it spins. Suitable for students, those renting rooms or camping.

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.
