Here is my Danby washing machine rigorously cleaning a load of dirty shop towels. If you don't have the accommodations for a full-size washing machine, this is a great alternative.
I really like this washing machine. I have a GE SpaceMaker portable washing machine and it's pretty good. I definitely think the agitator on your little Danby is very very good. My house is 98 years old and the kitchen is very tiny and I don't have a basement or a place for a dedicated laundry room so these small washers are great. Excellent review and I found it very relaxing.
Nothing better then to have your own washer. You can manage drying them but the washing machine is a must. Great vidio I like your washer. Very aggressive agitator old school but there the best! Thank's for the great vidio!!!
@@frostflower5555 The water hose just screws onto the back, and it looks like a standard fitting. The drain hose connects inside the washer underneath. You would likely have to take the bottom cover off to swap it out. I'm not sure where you could buy longer hoses, but I'm sure something would work!
@@TheCaitlinMarie The high [really LOW] efficiency washers don't use any more water than you can get in a bucket, so they're lousy at cleaning clothes. Danby wasn't stingy with water.
@@b.gailcooper7530 - my Zeny, thats different from this machine was 100$, is a manual washer the one above is automatic, I find it my zeny gets my clothes cleaner than a large automatic washer that has access to the water system. Kind if crazy how bad the HE washers are nowadays
Hi because of your earlier demos I had purchased the newer version of this washer. I had to sell it because on the high water level setting it always threw water all over the floor so in order to prevent that I had to use a lower water level that was getting on my nerves. They discontinued the agitator style and now they only have the wash plate style. That agitator is certainly very aggressive when I did towels it actually threw the water over the side if you put a lot of clothes in it it’s better but if you don’t wash as much like I always have smaller loads the water came over the top. I agree with you though it was an excellent Washer and I’m glad to see that you still have it. Do you still have the vintage one I believe it was a GE portable? Which was actually a whirlpool/Kenmore.
I'm sorry to hear the newer version had that issue! On mine, only when overly full would it spill water over the top, but it only happened to me a few times, and it was because it was too full. I can't speak for the newer models, as I'm still using this one! Yes, I do still have the vintage one. That thing works great too! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful washer and superb cleaning action. Without a doubt one of the best cleaning washers out there on the portable side. A little bit on the aggressive side if delicates were to be cleaned. Speaking of delicates, does it have a delicate cycle? This agitator design looks almost identical to the old school speed queen commercial style top load washers that most laundromats use to have (or still do).
@@VacTech1 Awesome. I had a feeling it would have. Plus with enough water i'm sure it can buffer up the delicates to avoid snagging or damage. Awesome washer. 😄
I recently bought and Insignia 1.6 cu ft. tub portable washer. It does the job and I like it, and in the notes and description it said it had an agitator. But, it actually has a pulsator, with a very tiny agitator shaped paddle on the bottom of the tub. I am thinking of doing a review on the machine and how to use it. But I have to say, I’m probably a little bit on the jealous side that you have this Danby with this wonderful agitator. That’s what I wanted. But, they do not make portable machines with those anymore, that I’m aware. If there’s one out there that would be currently being made, I don’t know where it is. Unfortunately, Danby made a poor decision by not keep making these washers because they would probably sell lots of them.
I agree, I think it's a shame they stopped selling them. I do prefer this over the pulsator (high efficiency) models, but sadly even most full-size top load machines use that same style.
The agitator is an absolute must!! S adly you are right, they don't make portable machines with agitators anymore. These water saving machines simply don't clean properly!! I just saw an Amana washer with agitator but it's full size. I'm wondering if It's possible to turn it into a portable. I'll call a plumber tomorrow. This Amana is quite reasonable price wise
I really like and want one of these washers. I have the Haier portable washer in our RV and it does the job but I think the Damby is a better machine. If I could just find one then all would be good in the world. Do you know of any companies that may still have one? Thanks for the great video mate.
This is an awesome washer! Mine is on its last legs after many years of service. Maybe agitator washers use too much water and that's why they got discontinued???
Where do I find this? Do you think they are still available or able to be found anywhere? Can I pay you to help me find one? If not what is similar to this?
thank you i stay with a friend and OMG it move like crazy have to stay beside to hold it in place is it normal and i have to keep the lead close other wise it stop.
I've never had to change it. It attaches to then inside of the washer, so you'd either have to take the side panels off, or the panel underneath it off, to get to it. Hope you can get it working again!
I'm not sure why discontinued it, but I think it's a shame! I only had to replace the storage clip that holds the drain hose to the washer, when it isn't in use. The drain hose was always fine. Thanks for watching!
I have one. Five years old, perfect shape. I live in NYC. Make me an offer: I'm moving in 2 weeks, and will be offloading my Danby: this exact same model. (BTW, I haven't seen them on Craigslist in years.) Local pickup only.
Hey I need your advice my Danby tub stopped moving completely is there anything I can do to fix it? Or buy used older portable washer or brand new one with no agitator?
You could try to have it serviced (call around to appliance shops and see if they would work on it). Otherwise like you mentioned, you can try to find an older working model, or you can downgrade to a high efficiency model.

So happy I found your videos. I have had mine 2 years, my daughter got it for me, but never used it. Going to use it soon thanks to your videos.
Thanks for the nice comment, glad I could help! I hope you like yours!
How do you make the hoses longer, drain hose and the intake water hose? Is it possible to buy long ones?
@@frostflower5555 The water hose just screws onto the back, and it looks like a standard fitting. The drain hose connects inside the washer underneath. You would likely have to take the bottom cover off to swap it out. I'm not sure where you could buy longer hoses, but I'm sure something would work!
@@VacTech1 You mean to change the drain hose, I'd have to take off the whole cover? I can't pull out the old one and insert the new one?
@@frostflower5555 That's right. You'd have to likely remove the cover on the bottom to get to it, as the house routes inside the washer.
This is an Amazing washing machine.. The agitation is absolutely incredible..
Yeah it really cleans great! Thanks for watching!
Love the washer.
I like your washing machine I just bought one it's a comfee and I really like it a lot it works fantastic since my full size unit broke
The portable washing machines have more cleaning power than the newer large washing machines out now.

I love it!
It’s 2024 and I am sad nothing like this is made anymore. I used to have one of these and I regret letting it go.
I’m keeping mine around as a backup haha. I agree it’s really too bad. Cleans great!
I love that washer (Idk what happened to the dryer)
The agitation looks strong. Can you do video on the gentle cycle?
I've been trying to find this or q similar model with the agitator, I still can't find it, I envy that you have this one.
I got mine on Craigslist. Don't be afraid to hunt for a bargain!
I paid almost $400 for mine through Home Depot and it's worth it. My sister has tried to find one like mine with an agitator and no luck.
I need this for cloth diapers lol. Anyone who uses them knows that tall agitators are amazing for deep cleaning
The ending sound sounds like a open car door chime ahahha

Yes it does have a delicate cycle, as well a shorter "quick" cycle. Thanks for watching!
@@VacTech1 Awesome. I had a feeling it would have. Plus with enough water i'm sure it can buffer up the delicates to avoid snagging or damage. Awesome washer. 😄
Do you recommend putting a plastic bin under the washer in case of leaks? Would a mini shop vac be handy to have around?

Gosh darn it!! I want that machine!!!!!!!
Why discontinued!??!!!???
Darn it!!!!
I know, it’s a shame!
I really like and want one of these washers. I have the Haier portable washer in our RV and it does the job but I think the Damby is a better machine. If I could just find one then all would be good in the world. Do you know of any companies that may still have one? Thanks for the great video mate.
I got mine on Craigslist. Best you can do is keep an eye out! Thanks for watching!
That's some vigorous agitation!
This is an awesome washer! Mine is on its last legs after many years of service. Maybe agitator washers use too much water and that's why they got discontinued???
how long hav u had yours?
@@outoftime788 7+ years. Mine only needs a new drive belt, but Danby doesn't make the drive belt anymore... 😭😭😭
@@AceNinja2112 omg...i shouldve goten one
@@outoftime788 Danby, please bring this awesome washer back!!! You will make millions!!!
Where do I find this? Do you think they are still available or able to be found anywhere? Can I pay you to help me find one? If not what is similar to this?
I have this except its made by avanti
I have this one and love it too. I dont like the music it kinda is annoying. Can you mute the sound?
I searched on many websites for this washer and couldn't find one. If anyone knows where to buy, please tell me. Thanks
thank you i stay with a friend and OMG it move like crazy have to stay beside to hold it in place is it normal and i have to keep the lead close other wise it stop.
Do you put the stabilizer foot down onto the floor, after you set it up at the sink? That will help with vibration.
5yrs? wtf dam
How do you change the drain hose? Can you get the universal one from the hardware store?
I've never had to change it. It attaches to then inside of the washer, so you'd either have to take the side panels off, or the panel underneath it off, to get to it. Hope you can get it working again!
Why did they discontinue it? How did you replace your drain hose-where did you buy it and which brand? Can you get a long one drain hose?
I'm not sure why discontinued it, but I think it's a shame! I only had to replace the storage clip that holds the drain hose to the washer, when it isn't in use. The drain hose was always fine. Thanks for watching!
How’d you get it to wash with the lid open? Thanks, awesome review!
Thanks for watching! I had to bypass the lid safety switch, which requires some disassembly. Not recommended but I wanted to show how it worked.
I have one. Five years old, perfect shape. I live in NYC. Make me an offer: I'm moving in 2 weeks, and will be offloading my Danby: this exact same model. (BTW, I haven't seen them on Craigslist in years.) Local pickup only.
How much you asking for price 100.00
Where do you live and would you ship it if I paid for it
@@truelove6509 I didn't hear from you folks fast enough: poor Danby was left in the apartment, and I guess the 'super' got it. Loved that machine.
Do you have a portable dryer to?
I do!
Onde posso encontrar
How did you bypass the lid closure?
I did.

@@VacTech1 thankyou wish me luck i love my Danby
Why did they discontinue it
I’m not sure. It’s too bad, as I think the machine would still be popular today.
Why was it discontinued? :(
I wish I could tell you. Likely to save money. It's a shame because it could be marketed as the best option, based on its agitator setup.
@@VacTech1 Very true...I hate it when companies discontinue awesome objects just for that cold-hard cash...they would've made loads of money
Where did you buy this machine?
I bought it on Craigslist!
It has a dispenser!!!!!
It does, but I never use it. Thanks for watching!
Do you have Instagram? 🙈
