Bought this in September an it’s been wonderful. The purchase was inspired by Julia Cabans review on the .89 cu. ft. Black and Decker washer • HOW TO: LAUNDRY FOR A ...
Let me help you out, on the detergent dispenser, the left side is for powdered detergent and the right side is for bleach. In addition, rotate your drum manually clockwise until you see on the top of the drum about a three inch indentation with four holes in it. That is where you pour the softener or vinegar you use to soften your clothes, and the machine will dispense it during the final rinse cycle.
Two suggestions to take or leave: Put a knee high stocking on the end of the drain hose to collect all lint as you don't want to clog your kitchen sink and alert the landlord that you have a washer. They may not like it. Also you can hang your clothes right in your closet (unless your closet is packed with clothes) and put a fan on the floor and aim it at the clothes. I just bought this unit you have and am very excited about using it. Thank you for the thorough tutorial.
Great video with a start to finish load. Thanks for your effort in putting this video together. It’ll surely help with my decision to purchase this model.
Yeah. I honestly think it’s my faucet because before I attached the adapter thingy my faucet was projectile vomiting water out and it wasn’t pretty so ... yeah.....
@@Juliav14 Check the O-rings inside the adapter. If you only have one O ring, put another one in it and see if you can still screw it into the tip of the faucet. If you don't have any O ring, then add an O ring. Moreover, it's always a good idea to drape a rag over your quick connect adapter to prevent the water from splashing everywhere.
Periodically I would recommend a small bleach+ water load to flush out/control bacteria in your hose. Maybe once every month or so. I do this even with my Zeny countertop mini washer.
Hi. Thanks for the good video. I just want to recommend you to check your quick connector, make sure it has one black round rubber inside then connect it back really good to the faucet, if it still running water out try buying the teflon tape at home depot cheap for $2.00. Then wrap the teflon tape around the quick connector, wait at least 30mnts to dry and good to go. Also i bought a pack of 2 lint trap at CVS for a $1.00 and also Amazon sells them. This is for the drain hose, easy to put it in and is very good collecting all the lint coming out from the drain hose. I really hope this works for. 👍
For the lint coming out the drain hose, I just use one of my kitchen strainers. Then when I'm finished my wash, I simply clean the kitchen strainer and put it up
Just a heads up, you should put a filter on the end that goes in the sink for the used up water cause a lot of lint collects in my little bag that I put over the end of the hose
On these .9 to 3.0 cu. ft. portable automatic washing machines, it doesn't matter one iota which brand you go with. Why? Because they are all made for the various brands by Midea Corporation of China. Hence, no matter the brand you purchase, they are all identical. Indeed, the Black and Decker is identical to the Magic Chef, the RCA, the Comfee, the Panda, etc., etc., etc.The only thing that is different is the brand badging. Hence, for anyone currently looking to purchase one, find the best price regardless of brand and buy it.
Good point and observation, the only problem that I have with mine is that the drainage is a gravity drainage feature and not a push pump like the one this machine shows to have. The gravity drainage is a pain to deal with because you have to have the machine a little bit higher so that the hose hangs down and drains out thoroughly otherwise the machine won't work if the water doesn't drain out the hose properly the machine just pauses until you drain out the water so with mine you have to babysit it and I should have done more research on these machines when it came to the drainage feature.
OMG! Thank you!!!! This was the perfect video for me! Ahh you are a sanity saver! Also, you mention being able to wash thin sheets in it, can you do towels too? They can get pretty bulky when wet... and I hate my luandry mat. Ruins all my clothing. I want to abandon it altogether lol.
Hi 👋🏽 you’re welcome 😊 I always wash my towels. But I only wash 2-3 at a time for that same bulky and heavy reason. Although I do go back to the Laundromat for the bedding. Hope this helped. 😊
I do three loads weekly, a clothes wash, a bath towel, hand towel, wash rag, and bath mat wash, and a bedding wash. The only thing I wont wash in my machine is my queen comforter. When it needs to be washed, I take it to the laundry mat
You can probably add another O ring to your adapter to stop that leaking. If not, simply drape a rag over the adapter connection when doing wash. That way the water won't splash all over the place. Indeed, always make sure your connection to the inlet is snug and tight before beginning a wash cycle, drape a rag over the quick connect connection, and then use paracord or some other mechanism to secure your drain hose so it won't fall on your floor and flood your kitchen, and then you won't have to baby sit it if you don't want to.
I bought it and I want to buy the 2-3.0 but I hope I can return it if I don’t like it cause I have a family of 5 and I did not think of that at all when I bought the 1.6 ..
Black and decker is the only well known brand that makes portable washers besides magic chef. But quite frankly I trust black and decker more. Also, are you able to run JUST a rinse cycle?
Hello 😊 thank you so much for a very informative video! Does this machine ever damaged, stripped, streched and/or pulled the clothes fabric in any way? This matter is so important too me... Thank you again lovely ❤
Once you connect the waterhose and turn the water on, you don't turn the water off again until you're done doing all of your laundry. It will fill with water on it's own for each cycle.
I so much want this brand or r.c.a. are best brand how much are they now I just got to get me one I also want the dryer for my one bedroom apartment I love that thank u❗👍😷
They all vary in price, mostly depends how big you want it and where you buy it from. I chose to get it from Home Depo just in case it didn’t work for some reason, it would be easy to return.
@@Juliav14 thank you !!! I’m so excited to get the 2.0 black and decker . I don’t know why it’s gonna take several weeks but I had no choice I had to save up you know thank you so much for making that video you did a great job please set me back if you have any other suggestions
@@nancybogart3899 I’m happy for you! Doing your laundry will become so much better, I promise. 😊 I will probably review a toaster oven next haha stay tuned.
@@Juliav14 you are too funny !!! I’ll TRY TO WAIT--- I knew I should’ve ordered it a week ago but I needed to save up the money plus now I have a toothache thank you for your reply you are wonderful
So according to the manual, the water is not properly draining out of the washer. Maybe there is something stuck ? Does it always stop and display that error?
@@Juliav14 it was my first time using the machine but after watching a few videos I noticed the battery for the drain pump wasn’t connected…once I connected it back it started working…Thank you tho ☺️
I bet you have your washing machine setting is set to hot, but when you go to the back of your washing machine, you only have a hose connection from the water faucet to the cold water inlet of your washing machine. Which means that your washing machine setting must always be set to cold. Otherwise, when it gets to the rinse cycle, the machine will just stop because their is no connection connected to the hot water inlet. The only time you would be able to set your washing machine to hot is if you have both hoses connected to the hot and cold inlets. However, since you only have one hose connected to the cold water inlet from your water faucet, your machine must always be set to cold. Now, this doesn't mean you can only do cold water washings. As you can regulate the temperature via the hot and cold water service valves at the sink. So, for instance, if you are doing a hot wash, disconnect the quick connect, open the hot water service valve and run the water till hot. When hot, shut off the hot water service valve and reconnect the quick connect. Then finally open up the hot water service valve to fill up the drum to begin the wash cycle. Then once the wash cycle begins, cut off the hot water service valve and open the cold-water service valve so the washing machine can rinse in cold water .
Can you wash a queen size blanket? There is the .9 cu ft which is much smaller. Definitely no on that one. But you have the 1.6 cu ft. one. Perhaps a queen size blanket will fit in yours?
I bought it and idk why but after the first spin and it gets stuck at 7 minutes and doesn't want to rinse again. I only set it to quick wash and large. Pls help
Set your settings on the machine to cold, as opposed to hot. As you don't have it hooked up like a regular washing machine, but instead as a portable washer. Hence, always set your temperature on the machine to cold. Now, you can still do hot, warm, or cold water washing by regulating the temperature manually at the faucet. You do what I just told you and you won't have anymore problems.
@@elizabethnieves94 It does it automatically. As there are sensors that automatically shut off the water when the water reaches the correct level depending upon your settings, i.e, large, medium, or small load.

Do u still suggest this washer? How long has it lasted u so far? And can u leave the water running while it's on ur will it over flow?
Great video. Is there a place to put the fabric softener?
Please give the information for the specific hose and adapter you purchased, because this would help many of us.
I bought it and I want to buy the 2-3.0 but I hope I can return it if I don’t like it cause I have a family of 5 and I did not think of that at all when I bought the 1.6 ..

Why did the name of this machine change to 1.7 cu ft? It's still the same model bpwm16w but now it's being branded as 1.7 .
Do you turn the water off once it’s filled?
I don’t know if u can return it to Home Depot if u have a problem or want to return it. They selling third party products just like Walmart does.
Hello 😊 thank you so much for a very informative video! Does this machine ever damaged, stripped, streched and/or pulled the clothes fabric in any way? This matter is so important too me... Thank you again lovely ❤

@@Juliav14 Thank you :) I all ready purchased it and so far very happy I did 🌷🌷🌷🌷 thanks again!
@@blazinliv I am happy to help! 😊😊
It looks like the facet is not screwed in tight enough, or the washer in the hose is missing....
Great video 📹 ¿does this 1.6 washer shakes when washing or spinning?🤔
It doesn't shake it just quietly vibrates. :)
can you share the dimensions of this?
If you have 2 rinse cycles, how do you know when to turn the water on for the second rinse?

I hate going to the laundry mat so much my goodness
Mine washer still comes out water from the drain while is filling why does that happen ?
because the drain hose is lower than the water level in the drum. it needs to be at the same level or higher.
Do you still love it?
I absolutely do! It’s soo convenient and practical, I wish I would’ve bought it sooner.
I’m having problems with the rinse cycle ….It just stops and then displays E2 error message…Help !
So according to the manual, the water is not properly draining out of the washer. Maybe there is something stuck ?
Does it always stop and display that error?

Hi, so at 7 minutes it’s supposed to refill. So you have to connect the adapter and turn on the faucet to fill it up. Let me know if this works?
@@Juliav14 how do you know when to stop the water? Is there a “fill” line or does the water stop automatically?

I turn mine off during the wash cycle and then turn it back on during the rinse cycle to not have it constantly running.
Does it make a noise or something to tell you it needs water for the rinse? @@GreenYoshi3881
