I like how your tub is big. I had a different model with the twin tub for about 2yrs and ended up recently buying a small automatic portable washing machine and I love it so far
After I had my machine for a few months I was finding it very frustrating how labor intensive and involved it was. Almost made me want to give up and drag my laundry down 3 flights to use the coin op. But I found it was much better to use while doing other chores instead of having to keep getting up while youre trying to watch tv. And I switched out the drainage hose with another one from the hardware store as that always seems to be the first part to go.
I drain the water, give the laundry a spin, put it in again, add fresh water with softener... Yes, you can also wash your bedsheets and even small carpets in it.
Thanks for the replies! I have a tiny 2 bedroom apt, and I hate the smell caused by the washers in the basement. 10+ families various detergents, and smells Al combines into a weird smell. This might be worth a try, then!
It's a Russell Hobbs 6kg machine. Cost me less than £200. It works fine but the drain pump is quite loud. Next time, I might spend a bit more. I hope this helps!
I bought the same because I wanted to get rid of a conventional washer/dryer since they only survived two years, but a cheap one is already like 250 Euro... >:(((((( Now I am happy with this one... because I can add laundry in case I forgot something and it needs less water and energy :)
That's interesting Olly. It's just like the twin tub my mum would use when we were very young. Well, hers could take a lot punishment so to speak. £90 not bad though. Hope you're well. Mark
Hi Mark, I would receive a lot of funny looks (all harmless) when I ever I had company over. But it did serve me well for five years. I don't particularly miss it. All good here, thanks, just taking it easy. All the best to you.
5 years you used it? That was a good long time!
Thanks, yep, it lasted much longer than I'd anticipated for a £90 product.

Glad to hear it works well for you. :-)
How clean is that? It looks like the washed clothes are still soaking wet with tons of detergent in them??

Glad to hear that you found a better hose that was compatible. I often thought about this myself but couldn't find the right size.
How would you use a softener with this? Just run another cycle with new water and softener?
And does it wash bedsheets?
I drain the water, give the laundry a spin, put it in again, add fresh water with softener... Yes, you can also wash your bedsheets and even small carpets in it.
Hi, yes, I would drain it and then run a second cycle for fabric softener. It's what the instructions implied. I hope that helps.
Also, yes, I was able to clean double bed sheets in this machine but only one at a time and with nothing else in the drum.

Can o connect this to a laundry room outlet tho?
Sorry, I wouldn't know. :-/
Hello, what is the capacity of the unit you were using?
Hi, I think it was 5kg in the wash drum and 3kg in the spin dry. I hope that helps.
I have this too its washing everything good clean love it
Thank you, I'm glad to hear it.
Does the spinner filter work well? I don't want dusty clothes.
I'm not sure I understand. Are you thinking of using the dryer to only remove dust from clothes?
My dryer stop working how can I fix it
Sorry, I don't know. I scrapped mine in the end.
Using it like that is not the way. I tried it for 2 days and couldn’t hack it. I bought a Rinseroo and use it in the bathtub. A total game changer.
What one did u get now

@@OllyParryJones I bet you did. Freddy Mercury springs to mind. Ha ha! Good to hear you're well.
Damn these are better than the American ones we have
Probably the motor died ,easy to replace cost about £3. or the belt snapped easy replaceable to for a couple of quid.
Lol
Ah, I had no idea the motor would've been so cheap to replace. I didn't even look in to it.
, yes awesomeeeeee
