I bought a sink strainer to keep lint from clogging up my drain. I also wrap the drain hose around the water inlet hose to keep it in place. I also bought a rubber mat off of amazon to keep the vibration down.
I've seen people use panty hose on the outside of the drain hose to catch lint from going down the drain. I got panty hose socks from dollar tree and I do end up disposing them after a while (the build up is hard to clean) but it's very helpful.
I use a knee high nylon on the out flow hose to catch the junk. I have two hair clips and a bread twisty tie to hold It on. It catches a bunch. You can rinse it out or toss it after a bunch of loads. And to hold the out flow hose in place I use a sock filled with rice with a couple of wrenches on that. It hasn't failed me yet.
I saw another video on this washer and he set it for 12 minutes ~ so you don’t have to stay on 44 minutes . Another showed a dolly they bought that fits it so it rolls easy, hope that helps
They make "washer balls" that float around and smack against clothes during wash cycles that are supposed to really help with not only getting things cleaner but getting the lint off of things. I haven't tried them yet myself but have seen great reviews
I can fit a weeks worth of clothes in it so I would say maybe 10 pair tops you can fit more but I’m worried about blowing the motor it spins super fast
@@CICBeautyTV Oops had to re-read your answer I misunderstood that you meant 10 pairs of pants and if tops it would be more. TY for your quick response.
It takes a longer to wash because you have it on bulky if you notice it has a left and right side if you keep pressing it goes on heavy and it's less time... My sister has one and that's the setting she uses.
according to the instructions there are 2 lint traps one that you cleaned in the video and one outside at the rear of the machine that also says it needs to be cleaned every ten cycles or washes. and that filter is at the back and bottom of the machine and leaks water all over the floor when you replace it. SO be aware of that!
Yes thank you I have cleaned that bottom one a couple times and it definitely leaks I usually put a rag there to catch it thank you for the info and for watching 🙂
3:42 there’s a lint trap at the bottom. That should be checked every wash as well. That black thingy next to the hose on the bottom of the machine. 3:42. You twist it to take it off and twist it put it back on.
Thank you for this video (and everyone in the comments who offered solutions) ! I was undecided on this machine or the smaller version but your video helped me. Thanks again!
Just get some paracord at walmart and tie your discharge hose to your input hose so it can't slip and flood your floors. Another thing you can do is in that part that bends, push the hose through it to create slack. Then slip that slack over your kitchen water faucet and then tighten it up. Boom, problem solved.
Yes. In the light and flash section if the light is solid, it if for choosing the functions listed directly under the word “Light” and if the light is flashing, it is for choosing the functions listed under the word “Flash”.
For the lint I suggest getting the floating lint catchers. The most popular ones are pink and blue and they have a flower shape at the top with the White net attached to it. I use them for my semi-automatic machine and they catch so much lint. I'm about to buy this machine soon too and I'm so excited. I have a lot of problems with lint as well because I wear a lot of black the floating lint catches helped a lot but I need something more. I also looked into other things for Lint and even though I don't have any pets with fur I'm going to buy the fur zappers. You put it in your washer and also you put it in your dryer and it's a sticky rubber paw shape thing that gets all the fur and lint off of your clothes. I'm going to buy this and try it out but I'm pretty sure this will help tremendously with all the lint problems because the reviews on it look very promising.
Thank you so much for that I did look up both the things you mentioned I will definitely order some I bought the dryer to March that and that’s had helped a little more with the lint and you will not regret getting this machine I love it 😊
I have a nylon lint trap on the drain hose to keep it from going down my kitchen drain. I compared how my clothes came out of my tiny panda washed to my neighbors full size GE washer and the lint on a black item was the same! I got a small tumble dryer from Panda as well and it gets a lot of lint off my clothes. There’s dolly’s with thick wheels you could put under it, I had to as it gets moved up and down a lip from the carpet to the linoleum kitchen floor. Rolling it around is nice!
Thank you so much for all those helpful tips I will for sure be investing in the tumble dryer that is the only thing that bothers me about the machine is the lint lol

Hey so I found a TH-cam I can’t link her page but for the lint go on Amazon and get lent ball traps my washer and dryer is coming tomorrow and I will be getting them she said she had the same problem if I can find it I will put it here
Thank you for going through all of this, I was thinking of upgrading from my tiny machine to something that spins out a lot better. Were you tilting the machine back a little bit towards the wheeled side (like a dolly) and felt any more ease of moving it or are the wheels just not that good? I bet if it's heavy it's just not easy to move on general. Good tip on the furniture sliding pads. I often forget about those
Yes I tilted the machine back because it has wheels but I feel when moving it cud easily slip from your hands and land somewhere like on a foot which would be terrible lol so yes the furniture moving pads was the best thing for me and I do love the machine and thank you so much for watching 😊💕
I feel like maybe you could place the machine to the left of the sink on the end. Would it fit there? Maybe you could still use your kitchen while you wash
@@CICBeautyTV I have this washer, and I have the washer in a completely separate room with the hoses hooked up to kitchen sink with an extension I bought from Home Depot it’s suppppppppppeeeer long, was cheap
F.Y.I. Your setting is not on bulky, it is on heavy. You must press the button until the light is flashing, then it will be set on bulky. I own this machine, it is branded as Midea, but is the same exact machine. Read your owner's manual for instructions on "flashing or blinking light".
Do you clean out the pump in the back after every 10 loads? I just tried to open mines to clean and all this water rushed out. So I’m online looking for someone who may have cleaned up the pump.
I have mine clean after every wash, the water that comes out is the residue of each wash. However, there has been a few times that it is a bit dirty, hence emptying that pump everytime it is used.
Still researching for my portable washer&dryer and Magic Chef is right now the top contender. I have a pet also and on the pet forums, the advice overall is to put clothes(or blankets) into a dryer for a short time, air dry for about 15-20 minutes. The pet fur gets picked up by the lint catcher. Then the items can be washed. This should pick up clothes lint? And the larger blankets will probably not work for a portable dryer. On the interim, like other pet lovers, should you or anyone else have a pet, fur management for blankets in between trips to the laundrymat are done by a small electric vacuum 'sweeper'. A pain but gets the job done.
Hi I actually just made a video on washing large blankets in this machine check it out and you should definitely get the washer and the dryer magic chef I love them both th-cam.com/video/hCjaBEB9izk/w-d-xo.html
I am hoping to get this washer, read good reviews on it but wanted to know a little more. Thanks for the details you gave (from this video and when you first got it) I'll keep you in mind if I have any questions. Thanks again 😊😊
Hi. Great video. Thanks. I just would like to recommend you is to buy the lint trap for the water hose, 1.it collects a lot of the lint from the machine. 2. It also helps you to not clog the kitchen sink. I bought mines at Amazon for $8.00 a pack of 50 mesh lint traps. They work excellent. Good luck and God bless
I put a knee high stocking on my drain hose to catch excess lint. I have the Niagara portable washer that works great. Anyway that little stocking catches so much lint as the water drains from the machine.
I have had two of these machines. They only last about 3-4 months for me. Then they stop draining out or spinning out our clothes. At first it doesn't a awesome job!!! Thus is the very first ones I have had this much trouble with. I don't know if it's these machines that I just happened to get. Or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm waiting for the store to come pick mine up now. We will be getting something different I pray soon.
Wow that is crazy to hear I had mines for over a year and they have worked perfectly I hope that the new machine you get is way better thank you so much for watching 😊
I have a bucket when I am getting the extra water out of the drain hose, and I take the curved piece off and I gently shake the hose at the end connected to the washer while I have the hose in the bucket, then work on getting as much water out of the water inlet hose then I take a dish towel and unscrew the other end while I have the other end in the sink and gently shake the hose to get the water out then I damp dry the connections ends. I know Amazon sells lint catchers, I'm thinking about purchasing some myself to see how well they work in catching the lint..
Thank you for that maybe I will get the bucket should be easier and yes the lint drives me crazy I have been researching I will look into it as well thank u so much for the tips 😊👍🏻
VERY THOROUGH ADVICE lol So I have the exact same machine and my advice to you on the drain hose would be to lay a dry small towel underneath it to make it stay in place more.. I haven’t had any issues since doing that and I’ve had mine for 2 months. For the water hookup I always make sure the part connected to the machine is tightened before I turn on the faucet to prevent it from leaking and a lot of ppl say they like to use pliers but I haven’t had to do that. I also have a magic chef dolly which makes it MUCH easier to transfer from my room to kitchen and has locks for when the machine is in spinning motion (I haven’t needed to use them). You can buy it from walmart for $22 Now for the lint I don’t have a huge issue with it but I’ve watched other videos and ppl say they put a strainer in the sink and it catches the extra lint. Lastly, when I am ready to unhook everything I unplug the machine first then take the drain hose and give it a good shake then put it back in the sink.. after that I take a cup and put it under the water hose and unscrew it (the cup is for the water that may drain while taking it off) after, I empty any excess water from the hose into the faucet and reattach it. Those extra steps have helped and I have not had any water leakage since doing this. Hope this was helpful .. yours was before I made my official decision lol 💕
Thank you very much for the advice I love the machine for sure still working out the kinks for sure and sooo glade my vid helped you with your final decision ❤️❤️
CIC Beauty TV yes I did watch that video as well! I do hang some of my things like jeans or thin long cardigans up if I have a big load to dry just so drying time isn’t as long
I just purchased a portable washing machine and you have to drain the water into a bucket which sucks. I like the machine. I was looking through You tube to maybe find a solution and came across your video. Thank you for the video.
I forgot. I got suction cups from Dollar Tree. Comes two to pack. Attack your hose to it and use a. Bread tie as backup. I do not have to watch it anymore.
That’s a very good idea because I am always scared of the hose falling on the floor that would be a disaster lol thank you so much for the helpful tips this should also help other who are having the same issue 😊
Hey I can’t lift the machine by myself and at the time had no one to pick it up I ended up getting the furniture sliders and it worked out great thank you for watching 😊
What are the little wheel things called and where did you buy them? I was about to order the dolly cart from Home Depot for $25, so would you recommend your fix instead?
You can get the dolly but you would need someone to pick up the machine and put it on the dolly for you I didn’t have anyone so the thing I have is just furniture mover disc I slide the machine around with no issue hope this helps 😊
Any problems with not rinsing? I have the same one and It fills and agitates and spins but it won't do the rinse cycle. Any suggestions before I call the company?
Yes, agree. Separate your laundry into similar fabrics and colors, underwear clothing, jeans, towels, bedding, lightly soiled, heavy soiled items such as some work clothes, etc. This also will help when drying.
Another tip, I start to add in just the water to each laundry load, then add into the drum the soap mixing it well before I add any clothes into the drum. Doing this I have greatly reduced the amount of soap and softener that I'm using. Most laundry doesn't need a lot of soap to get the clothes cleaned. Some people are using white vinegar in place of softener especially with their towels.
You have it on programmed for Hot. Where is the hose connected to on your machine, you may need to hook up a Y connector for hot and cold to go into your washer.
Thank you I have it hooked up to the cold I now use cold on the program and I mix the water in the sink I just make sure not to put it to hot and it has been working fine lately thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it 😊
I just bought the big Magic Chef portable washer and it stays in my kitchen. I got one of the Magic Chef trolleys so it would wheel around easily on my kitchen floor. It was well worth the money and it saves a lot of back-breaking work.
Yes I absolutely love mines besides the few kinks it definitely beats the laundry mat any day I was going to get the dolly but I didn’t have anyone to lift the machine up on it for me I will one day get one for sure thank you so much for watching 😊💕
Hey girly, I actually just got mine today. However, it started leaking from the bottom? I didn’t overflow it, as a start I just added a pile of socks. Do you happen to know why, or if it’s ever happen to you? I looked in the manual booklet and online. I’m still concerned. Thanks in advance :)
Hey wow sorry to hear that I had watched another vid and the same thing happened to someone else he had to get it replaced.only thing I can say is make sure the drum is centered before you start the cycle if not contact them for the replacement hope this helps good luck 😊
Wow thanks for the fast response! I called them and they explained the situation, I got it all sorted. Overall, thanks for the advice hope to see more videos from you. 😇
@@CICBeautyTV I guess its a Amazon brand so far so good I use the drain hose like you do and I just choose quick load because I just want to get it over with. My old kenmore had drainhose attached to intake so these new machines you really gotta stand guard while it’s draining. I think they made these new machines this way because the kenmore really messed up my faucet……
@@CICBeautyTV Thanks and I literally just ordered the 1.6 in Grey from Home Depot after a bad experience with the .9 (it was not the washer it was the salesperson). I was trying to decide between the 1.6 and the 2.0 but I don’t see much of a difference and this one is also lighter. My Magic Chef portable dryer is awesome my Black and Decker portable died after 8 months. Hopefully this Magic Chef is the one! Thanks for your detailed review it was helpful!
Your so welcome yes I absolutely loved the machine I thought about getting the smaller one but this one was just better and glade I didn’t go with the black and decker enjoy your new machine 😊
@@CICBeautyTV A little bit, I believe. I wonder if those rings have transmission fluid on them or something. Let me know if you notice, if you run your hand through the inside or in between. I want to make sure that's what it is.
Hi I read in the manual 120v/60hz and 340w hope this helps a bit it does not tak much electric I have not seen any increase in my electric or water Bill being it’s energy efficient plugged into a regular wall outlet 😊
@@CICBeautyTV it's rather normal for all water saver style washers. I have an LG front loader even has the stands with drawers really nice but washer takes 2hrs 8min on it's fastest setting with a medium size load (about 2x the max size load this washer can do)
@@CICBeautyTV 6.2cuft fit a full cali king set everything plus 4 beach towels in one load and while yes its nice to be able to pack it like that how often do we really need to 98% of the time a load to me will fit in a 1cuft washer its generally a week's worth of shirts and pants and sheets most the time i need to split it into light's and darks so by default it's two loads. But honestly i just order this washer to keep all the towels i use for cleaning away from my clothes 😅
Hey thanks for the video, I am definitely looking forward to getting this. Can you believe this was about $150 in January and now it is almost $300! I did get the dolly, but you had a great idea for the slide pads you used... damn good idea. On the time for the wash: we had to help my mom replace her washer this summer, she got a new full size washer brand new, that thing takes 60- 75 minutes for a wash cycle even on small! I am looking forward to this washer!
Yes I’m mad I missed that sale I’m not sure why the price jumps so much. Yes thank you the slide pads was so inexpensive glade it worked.wow I had not idea the full size washer takes that long how crazy.your gonna love the machine it’s so convenient 😊
I started looking for at their machines in January also, and in March when I was going to purchase they had really started to go up in price. I was told it was then demand because of covid.
Word you answered my two big questions! If I could clean my queen size comforter and water. My landlord pays for the water so that’s what I’m nervous about, I think with your tip I will be okay. Thanks!!
Your water bill doesn't increase significantly with this machine :) In comparison, if you use your dishwasher or take a bath, your machine is using either less or about the same amount of water as if you were taking a bath a couple times a week -probably less water you would use if you were using those plastic tub washers on Amazon every week. What I discovered was that you don't have to drain the machine each time as long as you keep the hose upright and on the machine, unless you are doing long-term storage. The 'old' water will be removed from the washer when you do a new cycle, like full-size machines. If anyone is looking for a dolly to put their machine on, I recommend 'Spacecare' from Amazon, that's what I put mine on.
Wow thank you so much I had no idea I didn’t have to drain the hose each time and my landlord hasn’t complained about an increase so what u are saying is accurate for sure 😊
@@CICBeautyTV Glad to help! 😊 Be careful though, since you don’t have yours on a dolly, make sure you don’t accidentally yank the drain hose out when moving it. Don’t want water everywhere! Getting a dolly will make that much easier.
hi thx for the video im seriously thinking of getting this washing machine plus the manatee dryer there are lint removers that you can put in the washer machine i will put link in to another comment
Your welcome and yes I don’t have any one to lift on the dolly for me unfortunately I got some furniture moving sliders for the bottom of the machine they help a lot thank you for the advice 😊
I've used both detergents liquid and powder, I sometimes use my homemade detergent and sometimes I will use the liquid detergent. I like to switch things up. 🙂. Side note: there's a soap tray for liquid and powder detergent. I have so much laundry detergent, I won't need any more until next summer. 🙂
When using the sink, ALWAYS use the cold water setting on the washer. Adjust temp at your faucet. Leak at the back came from overtightened screw, once set correctly best not to unscrew again. Add more water during wash and clean your filter every wash. Check your drain pump at bottom.; that it is not clogged. The lint attachment may come frome additives added during wash. You would use the dryer to remove the lint.

Another suggestion to help with lint is to turn certain clothing items inside out to wash and dry.
Has yr machine ever paused on its own for like 10 mins then just started back up?
Its paused before but i didnt wait i had to restart the cycle it was in the beginning stages
I’m glad you mentioned the lint . Returned my panda because of that reason so thank you for your honest review

Biggest downfall to the machine

Do you clean out the pump in the back after every 10 loads? I just tried to open mines to clean and all this water rushed out. So I’m online looking for someone who may have cleaned up the pump.
Same
I have mine clean after every wash, the water that comes out is the residue of each wash. However, there has been a few times that it is a bit dirty, hence emptying that pump everytime it is used.
And, that water is suppose to come out, what can help prevent from shooting out is draining the drain pipe first, then the pump filter
Great review!
Oh SNAP... Thats tight.. where you get that from.? This is AWESOME 💯
Thank you Walmart they always sold out I got lucky 🙌🏼
😂😂😂😂
Hi please give me the model number of your washer. Your washer is a newer model .I want the washer you have .Thank-you. Letha
Hi here is the model number I got mines from Walmart MCSTCW16W4 and your welcome 😊
Still researching for my portable washer&dryer and Magic Chef is right now the top contender. I have a pet also and on the pet forums, the advice overall is to put clothes(or blankets) into a dryer for a short time, air dry for about 15-20 minutes. The pet fur gets picked up by the lint catcher. Then the items can be washed. This should pick up clothes lint? And the larger blankets will probably not work for a portable dryer. On the interim, like other pet lovers, should you or anyone else have a pet, fur management for blankets in between trips to the laundrymat are done by a small electric vacuum 'sweeper'. A pain but gets the job done.
Hi I actually just made a video on washing large blankets in this machine check it out and you should definitely get the washer and the dryer magic chef I love them both
th-cam.com/video/hCjaBEB9izk/w-d-xo.html
I would recommend the floating lint traps because they work very well. I put 3 in when I do mine.
Yes I’m going to look into those thank you so much 😊
How is your machine doing? Is it still working for you?
Yes it is they are great machines i think it will last a while
I am hoping to get this washer, read good reviews on it but wanted to know a little more. Thanks for the details you gave (from this video and when you first got it) I'll keep you in mind if I have any questions. Thanks again 😊😊
Hi yes it’s a great washer for sure I’m so glade I made the purchase and of course any questions you have I’m here to answer 😊
Hi. Great video. Thanks. I just would like to recommend you is to buy the lint trap for the water hose, 1.it collects a lot of the lint from the machine. 2. It also helps you to not clog the kitchen sink. I bought mines at Amazon for $8.00 a pack of 50 mesh lint traps. They work excellent. Good luck and God bless
Thank you very much I will definitely look into them for sure and thank you for watching god bless you ❤️❤️
Invest in a $30 furniture dolly from home depot! I have my Panda washer on it and its lighter than yours!
There is a dolley that you can purchase to put the machine on that makes it easy to push the machine around.
Get a little dryer. The lint comes off in the dryer.
Thank you I will for sure invest in that 😊
I put a knee high stocking on my drain hose to catch excess lint. I have the Niagara portable washer that works great. Anyway that little stocking catches so much lint as the water drains from the machine.
I have to try that thank you for the suggestion I appreciate it 😊
U can put 17 minutes too
Wow I had no idea I will check that out thank you for watching 😊
I have had two of these machines. They only last about 3-4 months for me. Then they stop draining out or spinning out our clothes. At first it doesn't a awesome job!!! Thus is the very first ones I have had this much trouble with. I don't know if it's these machines that I just happened to get. Or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm waiting for the store to come pick mine up now. We will be getting something different I pray soon.
Wow that is crazy to hear I had mines for over a year and they have worked perfectly I hope that the new machine you get is way better thank you so much for watching 😊
I bought it and it’s delivered but my drain hose is in the back why is yours on the side???
Hmmm Not sure maybe you have a diff model?
@@CICBeautyTV I have one, and the drain hose is in the back. Maybe it's how she brought it around, good luck.
I have a bucket when I am getting the extra water out of the drain hose, and I take the curved piece off and I gently shake the hose at the end connected to the washer while I have the hose in the bucket, then work on getting as much water out of the water inlet hose then I take a dish towel and unscrew the other end while I have the other end in the sink and gently shake the hose to get the water out then I damp dry the connections ends.
I know Amazon sells lint catchers, I'm thinking about purchasing some myself to see how well they work in catching the lint..
Thank you for that maybe I will get the bucket should be easier and yes the lint drives me crazy I have been researching I will look into it as well thank u so much for the tips 😊👍🏻
VERY THOROUGH ADVICE lol
So I have the exact same machine and my advice to you on the drain hose would be to lay a dry small towel underneath it to make it stay in place more.. I haven’t had any issues since doing that and I’ve had mine for 2 months.
For the water hookup I always make sure the part connected to the machine is tightened before I turn on the faucet to prevent it from leaking and a lot of ppl say they like to use pliers but I haven’t had to do that.
I also have a magic chef dolly which makes it MUCH easier to transfer from my room to kitchen and has locks for when the machine is in spinning motion (I haven’t needed to use them). You can buy it from walmart for $22
Now for the lint I don’t have a huge issue with it but I’ve watched other videos and ppl say they put a strainer in the sink and it catches the extra lint.
Lastly, when I am ready to unhook everything I unplug the machine first then take the drain hose and give it a good shake then put it back in the sink.. after that I take a cup and put it under the water hose and unscrew it (the cup is for the water that may drain while taking it off) after, I empty any excess water from the hose into the faucet and reattach it. Those extra steps have helped and I have not had any water leakage since doing this.
Hope this was helpful .. yours was before I made my official decision lol 💕
Thank you very much for the advice I love the machine for sure still working out the kinks for sure and sooo glade my vid helped you with your final decision ❤️❤️
CIC Beauty TV yes so do I, well worth the investment for my studio apartment! I also have the 1.5 dryer and yess it really did ❤️
Yes I wanted to get the dryer as well was a bit pricey for me at the moment I got the electric drying rack for now more work but good enough 😊
CIC Beauty TV yes I did watch that video as well! I do hang some of my things like jeans or thin long cardigans up if I have a big load to dry just so drying time isn’t as long
I just purchased a portable washing machine and you have to drain the water into a bucket which sucks. I like the machine. I was looking through You tube to maybe find a solution and came across your video. Thank you for the video.
Yes that’s the only part I don’t like either is the draining and thank you for watching glade I can help
@@CICBeautyTV The water does not drain out in the sink?
I forgot. I got suction cups from Dollar Tree. Comes two to pack. Attack your hose to it and use a. Bread tie as backup. I do not have to watch it anymore.
That’s a very good idea because I am always scared of the hose falling on the floor that would be a disaster lol thank you so much for the helpful tips this should also help other who are having the same issue 😊
Choose the quick wash.
Damn, just buy a freaking dolly cart. Put the machine on the dolly cart and roll it with ease anywhere you want.
Hey I can’t lift the machine by myself and at the time had no one to pick it up I ended up getting the furniture sliders and it worked out great thank you for watching 😊
Thanks so much for making this video! What are the things on the bottom called to slide it on the floor?
There called like furniture movers I got from Home Depot and your very welcome 😊
@@CICBeautyTV How much?
Where does the fabric softener go
You can pour it right on the clothes I use tide pods so I don’t add fabric softener hope this helps 😊
This video was very decent and easy to follow. I think you convinced me to buy it one for myself. 👏
Thank you it’s a great investment you won’t be disappointed
What are the little wheel things called and where did you buy them? I was about to order the dolly cart from Home Depot for $25, so would you recommend your fix instead?
You can get the dolly but you would need someone to pick up the machine and put it on the dolly for you I didn’t have anyone so the thing I have is just furniture mover disc I slide the machine around with no issue hope this helps 😊
Any problems with not rinsing? I have the same one and It fills and agitates and spins but it won't do the rinse cycle. Any suggestions before I call the company?
Hi I haven’t ever had a problem with the rinse cycle thank goodness I would highly recommend calling the company for sure 😊
I feel for you. I hate mine with a passion. Even when it works it dont clean the clothes that good. Ill be workin on mine today as usual every week
I never had a problem with the clothes being cleaned thank god just the water issue thank you for watching
ON the lint, don't wash your towels with your clothes. Wash them separately. Also, a dryer will remove a lot of the lint.
Thank you for that I ended up getting a portable dryer and it helped so much finally lol
Yes, agree. Separate your laundry into similar fabrics and colors, underwear clothing, jeans, towels, bedding, lightly soiled, heavy soiled items such as some work clothes, etc. This also will help when drying.
Another tip, I start to add in just the water to each laundry load, then add into the drum the soap mixing it well before I add any clothes into the drum. Doing this I have greatly reduced the amount of soap and softener that I'm using. Most laundry doesn't need a lot of soap to get the clothes cleaned. Some people are using white vinegar in place of softener especially with their towels.
You have it on programmed for Hot. Where is the hose connected to on your machine, you may need to hook up a Y connector for hot and cold to go into your washer.
Thank you I have it hooked up to the cold I now use cold on the program and I mix the water in the sink I just make sure not to put it to hot and it has been working fine lately thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it 😊
I just bought the big Magic Chef portable washer and it stays in my kitchen. I got one of the Magic Chef trolleys so it would wheel around easily on my kitchen floor. It was well worth the money and it saves a lot of back-breaking work.
Yes I absolutely love mines besides the few kinks it definitely beats the laundry mat any day I was going to get the dolly but I didn’t have anyone to lift the machine up on it for me I will one day get one for sure thank you so much for watching 😊💕
Great video! Straight to the point 👌 I’m buying mine today , would you recommend buying panda dryers or magic chef dryer ? Thanks
I recommend both just depends on your budget but I do like my magic chef better 😊 and thank you so much your going to enjoy your machine
Do you think I can wash a low thread Queen comforter in this washer?
I have never tried it because I was scared about the weight I take mines to the laundry I would say try with caution
Hey girly, I actually just got mine today. However, it started leaking from the bottom? I didn’t overflow it, as a start I just added a pile of socks. Do you happen to know why, or if it’s ever happen to you? I looked in the manual booklet and online. I’m still concerned. Thanks in advance :)
Hey wow sorry to hear that I had watched another vid and the same thing happened to someone else he had to get it replaced.only thing I can say is make sure the drum is centered before you start the cycle if not contact them for the replacement hope this helps good luck 😊
Wow thanks for the fast response! I called them and they explained the situation, I got it all sorted. Overall, thanks for the advice hope to see more videos from you. 😇
No problem glade you sorted it all out and for sure more vids to come 😊
They test machines at factory and sometimes there is some water left in.
How big is it is it a 1.6 or 2.0 thank you for this
1.6 your welcome 😊
I got the comfee washing machine from Amazon so far so good.....
so glade to hear that I haven’t heard of that brand but that is amazing 😊
@@CICBeautyTV I guess its a Amazon brand so far so good I use the drain hose like you do and I just choose quick load because I just want to get it over with. My old kenmore had drainhose attached to intake so these new machines you really gotta stand guard while it’s draining. I think they made these new machines this way because the kenmore really messed up my faucet……
how many pounds of clothes can you fit
I believe 5.5 lbs when you go on the website it will show u but I’m pretty sure 😊
Is your machine a 2.0 or 3.0 n
Mines is the 1.6 model
Do you have a lint filter in the back of the washer. In the bottom ? Check and see.
I will have to check and see thank you for the advice
How do you turn off the child lock ?
Sorry I am not sure I don’t think mines is on
Check the manual and you can alway call magic chef thank you for watching 😊
Can you please put in the title if you have the 1.6 or 2.0 or 3.0 machine? It would help a lot of people trying to decide which one to buy. Thanks!
I have a 1.6 washer and no problem 😊
@@CICBeautyTV Thanks and I literally just ordered the 1.6 in Grey from Home Depot after a bad experience with the .9 (it was not the washer it was the salesperson). I was trying to decide between the 1.6 and the 2.0 but I don’t see much of a difference and this one is also lighter. My Magic Chef portable dryer is awesome my Black and Decker portable died after 8 months. Hopefully this Magic Chef is the one! Thanks for your detailed review it was helpful!
Your so welcome yes I absolutely loved the machine I thought about getting the smaller one but this one was just better and glade I didn’t go with the black and decker enjoy your new machine 😊
Does it clean all the stain
Yes it does a really good job I highly recommend it
Is there ever a bit of oil or grease on the inside top part of the machine or in between those rings on the top?
Hi no I never actually noticed
Have u seen it on yours ?
@@CICBeautyTV A little bit, I believe. I wonder if those rings have transmission fluid on them or something. Let me know if you notice, if you run your hand through the inside or in between. I want to make sure that's what it is.
Does it leak
No I haven’t gotten any leakage as of yet
Does anyone know how many Amps this machine uses?
Hi I read in the manual 120v/60hz and 340w hope this helps a bit it does not tak much electric I have not seen any increase in my electric or water Bill being it’s energy efficient plugged into a regular wall outlet 😊
@@CICBeautyTV That is helpful. That means it uses around 2.9 Amps. Good stuff 👍🏾
Perfect glade I cud help thank you for watching 😊
most front load HE washers take 2~3hrs per load
Wow that’s way to long I had no idea
@@CICBeautyTV it's rather normal for all water saver style washers. I have an LG front loader even has the stands with drawers really nice but washer takes 2hrs 8min on it's fastest setting with a medium size load (about 2x the max size load this washer can do)
Wow that’s good to know for my future purchase at least it holds a lot
@@CICBeautyTV 6.2cuft fit a full cali king set everything plus 4 beach towels in one load and while yes its nice to be able to pack it like that how often do we really need to 98% of the time a load to me will fit in a 1cuft washer its generally a week's worth of shirts and pants and sheets most the time i need to split it into light's and darks so by default it's two loads. But honestly i just order this washer to keep all the towels i use for cleaning away from my clothes 😅
Hi there ! What SIZE IS IT PLEASE ??? Thank you ! Well done 👍
1.6 and thank you
@@CICBeautyTV I’m SOOO CONFUSED & drained about the WHOLE THING. HELPPP
@@CICBeautyTV Did you figure out how to get a better lint trap I’d appreciate it thank you so much
@@CICBeautyTV first I ordered the 1.6 THEN THE 2.0 ,,, now I have a toothache and I’m I’m just stressed about the cost of it thank you
Only thing that helped me with the lint was getting the magic chef dryer it cut down on the lint significantly and now I have no complaints
Hey thanks for the video, I am definitely looking forward to getting this. Can you believe this was about $150 in January and now it is almost $300!
I did get the dolly, but you had a great idea for the slide pads you used... damn good idea.
On the time for the wash: we had to help my mom replace her washer this summer, she got a new full size washer brand new, that thing takes 60- 75 minutes for a wash cycle even on small! I am looking forward to this washer!
Yes I’m mad I missed that sale I’m not sure why the price jumps so much. Yes thank you the slide pads was so inexpensive glade it worked.wow I had not idea the full size washer takes that long how crazy.your gonna love the machine it’s so convenient 😊
I started looking for at their machines in January also, and in March when I was going to purchase they had really started to go up in price. I was told it was then demand because of covid.
Word you answered my two big questions! If I could clean my queen size comforter and water. My landlord pays for the water so that’s what I’m nervous about, I think with your tip I will be okay. Thanks!!
Yes for sure u will I haven’t gotten any complaint about the water nothin and glade I could help 😊
@@CICBeautyTV yes you really did!! I’m so excited to have laundry in my home again 😩
Yes girl it is the best cuz the laundry mat ain’t it during these crazy times lol 😊
@@CICBeautyTV it sure ain’t!! Lol.
God bless and take care 🙏🏽
Thank you god bless as well 🙏
🔥💯🔥
Thank you 😊
@@CICBeautyTV always
Your water bill doesn't increase significantly with this machine :) In comparison, if you use your dishwasher or take a bath, your machine is using either less or about the same amount of water as if you were taking a bath a couple times a week -probably less water you would use if you were using those plastic tub washers on Amazon every week. What I discovered was that you don't have to drain the machine each time as long as you keep the hose upright and on the machine, unless you are doing long-term storage. The 'old' water will be removed from the washer when you do a new cycle, like full-size machines. If anyone is looking for a dolly to put their machine on, I recommend 'Spacecare' from Amazon, that's what I put mine on.
Wow thank you so much I had no idea I didn’t have to drain the hose each time and my landlord hasn’t complained about an increase so what u are saying is accurate for sure 😊
@@CICBeautyTV Glad to help! 😊 Be careful though, since you don’t have yours on a dolly, make sure you don’t accidentally yank the drain hose out when moving it. Don’t want water everywhere! Getting a dolly will make that much easier.
For sure I’m definitely gonna look into it thank you 😊
hi thx for the video im seriously thinking of getting this washing machine plus the manatee dryer
there are lint removers that you can put in the washer machine i will put link in to another comment
I appreciate it 😊
Thanks I bought the smaller version. You can buy a dolly to move it.
Your welcome and yes I don’t have any one to lift on the dolly for me unfortunately I got some furniture moving sliders for the bottom of the machine they help a lot thank you for the advice 😊
Just bought it because of your review. Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
So glade to hear that I really do love mines I’m sure u will too 💕
what size is this one 2.0?
This is the 1.6 version
@@CICBeautyTV thank you !! 💜 does yours fill up only half way?
Can you use the liquid detergent with this washer?
I assume so I use tide pods that dissolve into liquid hope this helps just make sure it says HE on the packaging meaning high efficiency
I've used both detergents liquid and powder, I sometimes use my homemade detergent and sometimes I will use the liquid detergent. I like to switch things up. 🙂. Side note: there's a soap tray for liquid and powder detergent.
I have so much laundry detergent, I won't need any more until next summer. 🙂
When using the sink, ALWAYS use the cold water setting on the washer. Adjust temp at your faucet. Leak at the back came from overtightened screw, once set correctly best not to unscrew again. Add more water during wash and clean your filter every wash. Check your drain pump at bottom.; that it is not clogged. The lint attachment may come frome additives added during wash. You would use the dryer to remove the lint.
Thank you very much I have learned somethings since then 😊
What’s the drain pump that’s what may be causing me an e3 code
What’s the size of this machine ? I want to buy the exact one
1.6 cubic ft is my machine a bit hard to find sometimes good luck 😊
Go to Walmart.com they have them. And sometimes people are selling them too but be careful when buying from a person..
