My New Best Choice Mini Portable Washing Machine

- This is a showing of my mini portable washing machine by Best Choice, I purchased this on Amazon for around $94 if anyone's interested. This is my first video of me showing how to use something that I have gotten that isn't craft related, so bear with me because I stumbled a lot on my words explaining but hopefully you got the point. Also this message is for my concerned viewers. I did drain and rinse the cloths before I put them in the spin cycle. If you noticed in the video I stated that I am going to run them through again and be back. I didn't show that part to keep the video a little shorter. Also the plug in the back is an inch above the base of the machine and also has legs under the machine which is another inch. My shower drain also has a dip in the center so my plug never gets wet. Someone else has a video about this on TH-cam as well and you can see for yourself. I really appreciate the warnings and my husband has since covered the back with duck tape and plastic just incase.
The blue and white one is no longer on Amazon but I found one exactly like mine with almost 5 star rating in black and white. Link below

Where the hell was this thing when I lived alone in an apartment? I hated going to the laundromat! Those things are great!
Need to store it dry or mold will form
john doe I feel the same way I was tried of hand washing my clothes when I had no money 😂😂😂
Actually they did, but the were much larger, heavier (metal) and I believe all models had a pump. Wash section and spin section. Spin was rough on socks. Modern technology. Light, smaller and this particular model utilizes gravity to drain. They also sell automatic small washer. They cost a bit more, but these are great for washing anywhere.
I got the washer and it's amazing it washes the clothes better then I thought the only thing I have to wash at the laundry is my bed sheets and huge blanket other then that it washes everything else
I don't know where you were. My Grandma had one of these in the mid 1970's.
You did GREAT to show and explain! I'm a 70 year old grandma living alone in a single room studio. Low income and little space. After watching your video. I did my research and just bought me one of these on Amazon. You can't imagine how I look forward to using mine. Like a kid with a new Christmas toy!! :)) Thank you so much!
So did you get your mini washing machine yet?
@@Patrick-ps4ez YES!! I did! About a month ago. First washing machine I ever had. I am SO happy with it. I run it in the shower. So can fill it with the hand-held shower head that has a long hose on it and then drain it into the shower drain too. When I'm through, it fits nicely right beside the bathroom sink. Perfect!
With 6 children this machine has been a God send!!! I would recommend this to anyone. Great product. Great help!!
What brand is it?
Petra Cabañas homhum:)
I have a washer and dryer but I’m thinking of getting one for extra help to move things quickly! Five adults in my home two being young adults.. how much clothing can I put in without damaging it ???
Leave the top open to dry the insides and prevent mildew.
Got a tip for those who fill it with a bucket: if you don’t use a Liquid fabric softener in the final rinse, and you still have another load to do, don’t drain that final rinse water!
Just add soap and use the water as the next load’s wash water!
🌹🌹👏👏👏👏🌹🌹
This works perfectly. The only problem I have with it is the fact that it is a bit smaller then I thought. Clothes come out CLEAN and are pretty much 80 to 95% dry. if you are thinking of getting one of these washer I believe you should just jump the gun and buy one. The pumps are a bit weird and frustrating at first; but once you get the hang of it, it becomes soo simply.
Lion Dynasty How long have you had yours? And does it use up a lot of energy?
Can you run the washer side and the spin at the same time? The woman in the video had two loads but didn't seem to use both sides at once.
I thought it was a lot bigger than the pictures!😵😋😂
@@debbieterry1453 I think they come in different sizes, as I watched another video and that one was certainly larger than this one.
@@katydid1903 no because when you spin it automatically opens the drain so you can't fill the wash side. Spinning usually only takes 3 minutes so it's really not that much of a time waste. Mine has an inlet for the spin side so you could add water while it's spinning, but my usual method is wash spin wash as a rinse then spin again. This method works to get all the dirty water out of your clothes.
Bought this today and mama is happy ! I live in a tiny apartment and spend 20 dollars a week at the laundry matt weekly, not everything can be washed in this but you make your money back for the things it does wash if you are on a budget!
If you're going to use laundry detergent from the Dollar Tree, get the blue bottle, or the green bottle. The one with the fabric softener in it, is horrible. The yellow bottle, if you can find it, works really well. Stay away from the purple bottle!
You are so right. The blue one it is!
Stan Quick they sell little name brand detergent bottles as well.
This is true!
Or you can make your own with washing soda or Borax and shredded Felsnaptha. Works better than anything in a bottle.
Omg I know I bought the one with fabric softener awful I have to actually add more detergent to it
good review i live in a small mobile home this is a blessing. I spent over $12.50 every week to wash this is another blessing tyvm.
Marlinda Flores
how much elec do they use tho?;And your time.
suzy Hall---I have one as well...your time is a trade off, of course, because you can't load as much into it as a conventional full size washer. So, YES, it takes a bit longer. As for electricity use hardly any...I used mine for a month in my house before I went full time living in my RV and my electric bill never changed from any other monthly normal charge. Also, this machine gets the clothes VERY clean. Hope this helped you.
JIM BRIDGES highly agreed,time is the biggest factor. This would be perfect for a single person but for a family this would be a no go unless you have a ton of spare time lol
Where can you buy one of these
@@allahbless2278 If you have a family this could help to cut down a lot what you have to take to the laundromat. Probably can do everyone’s underwear and socks for the week.
Portable washers with spinners are awesome. I've been using mine for a few year's. The spinner is amazing and the clothes come out practically dry. I use my portable washer all the time. The agitation is strong and the clothes seem much cleaner. I get to control the water,the rinsing and the spinning. I make my own laundry detergent too... Less sudsing. Love it!❤
Gaby Gregory Where did you get yours?
Tinesha Cook from the Homeleader brand website.
Gaby Gregory Thank You
Gaby Gregory .
I like the spin dry feature but having to put in rinse water is a minus big time.
suzy Hall I use a teardrop of detergent. Since this type of washer has a very strong agitation it will help to wash the clothes more efficiently. It is best to use a low sudsing Detergent too. I have been using a homemade detergente, soap nuts/ berries and love Method detergent/softner. As you get the hang of the washer... there's some things that don't require a lot of water to rinse.
Move your electric cord from the water
I said the same thing
What a dumbass
Please!!!!
I thought the same thing! ... Electricity and water don't mix well!
If it's plugged into a gfci protected outlet it doesn't matter. If thier is any kind of conductivity between the hot wire and ground it will trip, and in a bathroom you should be using a gfci protected outlet. "Ground Fault Circuit Interupter" or in the uk it would be an RCD I think. That is why the current electrical code at least here in michigan U.S.A. requires GFCI outlets in the bathroom and kitchen.
@Chuck it has a drain pump.
When i started the video, i was like, " this little thing is too noisy', but when you turned your fan off, was like " :O, its perfect!"
Almost perfect. The spinner side is extremely noisy .
Thanks for sharing, I just received my washer on Wednesday. I did my first load on Saturday 4/20/19 and i am so happy with my purchase. It is easy to use just like you said. And it will save me money. So glad i watched your video. Be Blessed.
Based on your review, I decided to buy this! I've been doing my laundry by hand for 7 years. It's not a big deal--the washing part, that is--but wringing out wet clothes--that part is tiring. At first, I was looking at those spinners, but for about the same price, might as well buy a complete portable washer/dryer. I'm doing my first load right now!
I am here for the same reason. The biggest problem is the wringing the clothes by hand. Then they dry too long and if they are heavy like sweaters or towels or sheet they start to smell bad from long drying ugh.
Did you get yours yet?
Lol! Unless your kid's are rolling around in black dirt all day, you're probably seeing a lot of the dye from their colored clothing. However, this washer has a very powerful agitator and spinner! It definitely removes the dirt and as you said, almost dries your clothing in the spinner. I purchased mine last year and I notice that if I evenly layer my clothing in the spinner, it will not rattle or bump around when it starts up. I love this washer and actually prefer it to the full size washer I had before.
My sister owns one of these, put some white clothes in,you'll see it washes very well and not blame the dye.
The spinner is actually a high rpm extractor.
Can I put a comforter in that a queen size
@@sheisnique295 No way. Not even twin.
Shaniqua Thomas girl no🤦🏽♀️
I got one for my 80 year old mother in law who lives in a tiny little apartment and she loves it. I didnt know if she would be ok with the steps it takes but shes fine with it. I think they are well worth the money
That's so sweet of you
Hang up your electric cord out of the water. Love the washer, I would drain and rinse before spin drying. Thank you for the demo
Ty for this! I was feeling overwhelmed with all the choices of portable washers. You were very thorough and I needed that. Placing order now!
Hi. Do you order your washing machine? Do you love it? Which did you get?
Mine is still running after 3 years.
Part of the color is dye from the clothes. They're not quite as dirty as you think. :)
Beth Ann she said in the video that the black pants could be contributing to the color of the washer, so maybe you should actually pay attention to the video next time.
123 123 snipy aren't we?
Pretty cool to see non-the-less.
Tinkerbell ya, sure buddy bet your the fat lazy fuck who steals people’s lunch
Beth Ann you can do my laundry anytime!
Great product review. I’m awfully impressed with this little machine. I did not expected it to perform so well. Thanks so much!!
Wow. I'm happy to see in the additional comments that you addressed the safety issues.The first (no second) thing I noticed was the water/electricity issue. Immediately I got a sick feeling in my stomach and a lump in my throat--not kidding. And don't let anyone let you feel dumb about that either, most people don't know about that issue. The actual first thing I noticed was what a soothing voice you have. As someone who gets frazzled easily, I could listen to you for a long time. The other thing is that you did an excellent job on the video. So I will check out you channel. Thank you and have a lovely day.
I couldn't find it anywhere online and a few weeks later, someone was selling one close to my place, and had barely used it. My apartment building has ONE dryer and washer for 21 apartments. While the washer works fine, the dryer can't manage to dry half a batch of clothes even after they spent 1.5 hour in there. They're still damp and small (did I mention we have to pay 1.50$ for every use? 4.50$ for one load is getting pretty expensive). This machine has been a LIFE SAVER. Yes it's more time consuming but my clothes are pretty much dry after using the dry spin, and completely dry on a rack inside in a few hours. PERFECT if you don't have much space, honestly.
I have this exact machine. I absolutely love it! Also, I didn’t know about the thing to push down the cloths in the spinner! LOL. Went and looked and there it was on the bottom! I managed to balance the few loads I’ve started with, but dang,that will make it so much easier! Thank you for the video!
I have this one in white and black. It's Awesome!!! I have made front loader back in my apt now, but I still keep my best choice because it's so handy for small, quick loads. I found out about it from you and your video. Thank you sooo much!!! 😀
Sure glad I wasn't sleepy and I was surfing the net, I want one of these!😆
LOVED your video! I just found out these existed till tonight! It's great to see a real person doing real life laundry, not a professional, unrealistic perfection. I did miss how you rinsed it.
I just moved into and apartment with no washer and dryer and I bought one of these of Marketplace out of desperation. I am so happy to find your video! It’s the perfect step by step of how to use it! Thank you so much!
You made me wanna wash clothes. Lol. So I am.
Just got mine this week and I have two points - first, you're supposed to hook the drain hose up to the side of the machine while it's running. And second, get that power cord out of the water!!!
Love my machine!! Don't use much soap or you'll be rinsing it 2-3 times to get all the soap out of your clothes (voice of experience, lol).
Im saying! Y is your cord in the water?
The orange bottle from the Dollar tree cleans great.
I just bought this same model and had great results. Had to buy this as my washer broke down and cannot afford the washer/warranty/removal that I want at this time. So I will save for a good while as I use this portable washer/spinner. My older kids laundry was so dirty as well and I did 1/2 rinses depending. Its a pretty soothing process and doesnt take too long when you do other chores while doing the clothes.
Best investment i ever had perfect for a Manhattan apartment
Can’t wait to get one I’m tired of walking to laundry mat
Well you did a great job explaining. Yay! These are cute and quite practical. Laundry mats are getting carried away with how much they charge nowadays. Thank you for sharing, you seem like a sweetie pie.
My wife and I have been using one of these for our apartment over the last year. Fantastic for when we dont have any qaurters for the on site washer and dryer.
Great review and what a nice, organized linen closet you have!!
i have had this for a year and its so perfect.
How much its weight...m searching for 3 or 3.5kg with fully automatic
Can you wash a bed set in it
(flat and fitted sheet)
@@MsScott-bh5el yes you can I've had mine for about six and I love it.
Does it get your clothes as clean as a regular washer? Does it fit a reasonable amount of clothes? I live in upstate New York and it's really hard to find an apartment literally anywhere that has laundry machines for less than 1500 a month. Even units with just hookups are ridiculous.
I'm going to have to get on of these for my new apartment!!
I think you explained how this works very well great job!
I just bought one, just watched your video, now I'll be trying it out.
Great job! I think there was a lot of dyes coming out of the clothes the first time. Machine does a great job! One word of advice...store the machine with the lids open to cut down on bacteria and mold forming in your machine, until it dries out. Then, once it dries out, you can close the lids until next time. If you store it away with the lids closed, you’ll get a foul, nasty smell next time you go to use your machine.
Thanks so much for your video! We just bought one of these a couple days ago, and couldn't figure out how to fill it because the hose doesn't attach to our taps. Filling it with a bucket did the trick. We plan on using a laundromat for the majority of our clothes, but we decided to get one of these for washing small items like socks, shirts, and underwear between trips.
The bucket gets tiring so I'm gonna get a connector that will go on sink faucet to the short piece of garden hose I bought just for that,you mite think bout it
The detergent in the orange bottle that says stain lifter from dollar tree is actually really good.
Im so tired of washing my clothes by hand. Im getting one of these soon.
I'm on the hunt for my first portable washer. Your review was very helpful and you covered just about everything. I was a bit concerned about the noise and once you turned off the fan light, I knew this would be a great candidate.
@Lindsey Gonzales did you buy a portable washer yet?
I had a haier full automatic unit you hooked up to a water faucet. Worked fine for 2 years. You have to get used to doing laundry every other day.
I'm surprised how many clothes it holds. Seems definitely worth it for single person, or toddlers, or someone with only couple sets work clothes.
Thanks for the awesome review! I don’t have a laundry room in my apartment, let alone my building. You totally sold it for me. I think I’m going to invest in one. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, I just ordered something very similar and wasn't sure how it would all work. You helped clear up a lot of questions I had.
The face I made when I saw that cord in that water lol wtf
Me too not a good thing. I am sure she could raise it up.
This would be great for a college student living in the dorms.
I love your speaking voice, you could sing the phone book, love from Scotland x
Excellent! Thank you so much. I was struggling with the "manual," so this was helpful. You did great!
Thank you so much for this! Extremely helpful!! 💓
Definitely buying one. No reason to buy full sized stuff and have to move it to wash clothes for just me.
Thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to do this. Helped me learn more and make a decision
Thank you so much for the review for this particular one, I appreciate it.
Its a very impressive machine, used one brorrowed when my Maytag went on the fritz
Hey girl hey...my 2 boys do the same thing!! 😆 Don’t sweat it. Happy Mother’s Day 🤗
Great Video! You explained, showed..I understood..I plan to purchase one in the near future..been watching a few machine videos and yours is the best!! Thanks
I have one of these units and they really are pretty great. I was very impressed with how well it cleans. I had just returned from the laundromat when they delivered mine. I had no dirty clothes, so I thought, having just done mine. I threw in a load of clothes I had just washed, and to my surprise the water was almost brown/black when it was done. These washer/spinners are incredible. I have washer hookups in my apartment so I hooked it up with a regular washer fill hose and a 1/2 inch reducer to fit over the water inlet on the machine.
How do you drain it?
@@caylor1123 I have mine set on a 10 inch high stand that I built. This raises it enough to get it to drain into the drain for the washer. I simply cut the washer drain pipe at 4 inches up from the floor and inserted the drain hose from this unit. I clamped the drain hose from the unit to the drain pipe with a ring clamp to ensure that it did not come out.
I think it’s the clothing dye, being rinsed and removed. Them boys weren’t that dirty!
My best friend purchased me this washing machine and I love it so much I was so impressed how it wash the kids clothes I love it so much
Does your spin side drain even when the setting is on standard?
Yes!
I just got one of these, brand new never used from an estate sale! I just did my 1st load of clothes and I'm super impressed by the power of the washer motor!! This little machine actually washes very well! The spinner works well too. All around happy I bought it.
My wrists are destroyed so washing and wringing by hand has become too painful to do anymore.
The only thing I noticed about this washer is that if I put the timer more than 6 minutes, the motor seems to get pretty warm. I will wash 6 minutes, give it a 5-10 minute break, then do another 6 minutes.
Dimensions are 26 inches high X 23 inches wide X 12 inches deep.
Awesome video! Love your organization and repurposing the Styrofoam base! So clever 😄
I just wanted to say thank you for this review and demonstration. I bought the same machine based on your video and am following your instructions to a “t” because the instructions that came with it were not good at all. 🤣 thanks again for sharing your research and experience with this. Super helpful! 🙏🏻
I want one asap
Do not put stocking on the hose. Use a "mushroom" stopper in the drain. It will catch everything.
Love the closet the way you organize it..I want one now
Thank you for a great review. I have watched so many different reviews on so many different units and I have found yours to be the one I like best. Come the first of the month when I get paid I am going to purchase it. I also like the idea of filling the water with a bucket instead of the hose. A lot less hassle. Again, thanks for helping me make my decision.
How did I just hear about these. I can't wait to purchase mine
girllllllll thank you soooo much you was awesome 😊 i got mine today I bought it from Amazon it's amazing 😉
Great video. Instructions weren’t as clear as I’d hoped. First video I’ve watched since getting my washer and I’m more confident since watching.
Thanks for the great tutorial!! You gave wonderful details which was helpful.
I forgot to tell you. I have watched lots of these videos. They say to always store with the lids open to dry out moisture. That way there won't be mold or odor. I don't know if that is something you already do so I thought I would let you know. I can't wait to get one of my own.
You're right, someone else told me that after I posted this video. I do leave the machine lids open over night to let it air dry. Thanks for sharing
This would be very useful for tiny apartments in Japan
It looks like a great and useful appliance. Thanks for sharing.
Nice review and living in the desert we get alot of dirt blowing here so the clothes is dirty my kids roll around all day but i think we will pick one up , its easy and im sure will save us money thank you.
The extractor & tub drain separately. Iow, you can refill the tub while the extractor is spinning & draining.
Great video! Still leave the washer lid open after washing to avoid mold build up
Thanks for sharing this with us. I can't wait to get one.
I appreciate this video so much thank you so much for a mother of three who hate going to the laundromat. I love this video I am definitely going to go and buy me one today and the detailing of the video was so phenomenal thank you so much oh my God I wish I could give you the biggest hug ever
So the people who thumbs down this video are the ones who spent a lot on a real washer and dryer. All Haters. Mad because she can wash her clothes for less.
You must be a dumbass.
HaHa 😄
I imagine the thumbs down are from the fact she has the electric cord just laying in the tub while she drains it. Also she talks about how dirty her boys are but it's actually the dye from the clothes.
loonatis no I thumbs down because she doesn’t get to the point “little...uhhh.... video taaadayyy” anoying just tell me if it works or not and how it works
There's actually a group of people who go around on TH-cam disliking videos. Yea. Stupidity reigns in some people
That looks like dye in the water. dirt water is kind of brown, that water had a lot blue undertone.
Thanks the video was very informative. My bf just gave me one for my apt because he wasn't using it. And it was just collecting dirt and dust. So I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon this video I was actually really nervous about using it since he didn't have any other information for me except fill it with a bucket of water and that's it. I learned a lot of quick tips on use in my own time but this makes me feel better.
This is so awesome 👏🏼
good review. i have one of these and i'm in LOVE!! they are awesome.
patricia mcdermott iii
patricia mcdermott probably will b getting one soon so just so I’m clear just put in tub plug in and have drain hose like in video that’s it ?
pls tell me where to order?!!
Yes!!! These portable washers/spinners are amazing to have and I love how close to dry your clothes get, I love mine!!
Did a great job.I own two and I use mine in the tub. I run the power from a extention cord over the shower rod. Now I notice there is no brand name. they are great machines.
Bill B Thank you!
Great Video. Thank you for taking the time to make this
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I died when she said let me turn the light out so you can hear it😂😂
She may have one of those bathroom lights that runs the light and the exhaust fan simultaneously.
Lol. That lights so LOUD
I have this machine and I love it.
Great Video, Thanks for sharing used ours for the first time and we are very pleased!
Just found this video 😉 my bf puts a our portable AC on a step stool and drains into a water bottle (I think 5 gallon size) maybe you can use a metal step stool (from harbor freight) to keep the water from touching the bottom. And I neeeeeed one of these😉 thank you for sharing!!!
Best review will buy, thank you.
Screw it. I’m going to buy one.
What do you think
You are a great teacher.
Great video! Just a note: if your fan is that loud, it needs to be replaced. It probably has dirt/etc clogging it. If you replace the fan, you won’t be able to hear it nearly at all, and it will be much more effective.
U mixed the white pillow case with the dark...it got stained by it...otherwise it seems to work perfectly well! Good buy!
People with more grease/oil in their hair knows it's Impossible to keep solid white pillow cases white and then alot of races don't need it and strip the oils and shit....I think she knows your not supposed to mix whites with color clothes but the pillow cases don't really matter it's gonna be kinda dingy over time anyway....
I would use a detergent with fabric softener or add the softener with the detergent. Saving some steps
I haven't a clue how how I got to your vid.... but that's a pretty cool machine.. thanks for sharing.
Thank You! Fantastic demonstration!
