- We needed a small washing machine for the 5th Wheel since where Melissa is staying they have no laundry facility at that campground. In this video we are trying it out here at the house for the first time. Not a bad little machine. I used my old camera to video this.
Just picked up one of these at a garage sale the other day for $25. Absolutely love it so far.
Had a like one when I was in the service. That was in 1970. Have looked foe one ever since. It was perfect.
I had an 85 year old aunt in a 3rd floor apartment that used one of these for 5 years. She put a drying rack in her bathtub. Did laundry while she walked to her job as a jazz singer in a Kansas City Plaza hotel lounge . What a great gal she was. Hope you like yours half as much as she did. Thanks for the video brought back a good memory. Becky
Well that sure beats a washboard in the creek! Lol!
Lol so true!!
My grandmother had one of these for years and loved it. Kept in the kitchen, filled it with the tap and drained it into the sink.
Without sounding like a know-it-all but no-one is using this thing properly:
You wash in the big tank.
To rinse, transfer clothes to the spinner, spin.
Then fill the spinner (cover the clothes) with water, that's why there's an inlet to the spun side, and do a short spin.
Do this (probably twice more) until the water on your last rinse runs clear. Add softener to the last rinse water and finish with the long spin.
Adding water as it's spinning isn't rinsing the clothes, it'll just get pumped straight out.
Hope this helps x
🔊I'm TOTALLY Listening,,PLEASE Do a Demo Ur Comment Is Waaayyyy To Good To Be In A Comment📢!!!
Actually if you want to use softener, you gonna have to use the wash tub, because if you don't, the softener will spin out of the clothes before it has time to absorb into the fabric.
I use it differently- spin the clothes to get a lot of soap out as the washer empties, refill with clean water, then put the clothes back into the washer part for a few minutes so the agitator clears the soap out. Repeat before spinning for the final time.
Gotta be better than sitting @ a laundromat.
I live in a small apartment in London great machines works great very quite and saves lots of money for the laundrette
I have the same one and I love it. Wish I had gotten it much sooner. In response to a commenter below, I use my spin cycle to get most of the dirty water out, THEN do a rinse cycle. It helps get more dirty out if you only want to do one rinse.
Mum and Dad had one of these when I was a teenage, and I'm 63 now. I didn't know they still made theses any more....
W. A. stewart I’m 59 and my mom had one called a Hoover that she used to wash dads work clothes in because he was in a foundry and she didn’t want to ruin her “good” machine lol
W. A. stewart I had the Hoover spinmatic. It was the best washer ever.
This is the same type of machine we have in our house in Thailand. Once it comes out of the spinner dryer, usually an hour or two on the line and they are ready to come in the house. Pretty happy with it
Joe, how about after the wash cycle you refill with water and run again as a rinse cycle befor moving to the spin cycle
That would be easier for sure, but the idea is to spin out as much of the soapy water before rinsing and doing the final spin.
Dare I say it's in the instructions to do it that way. And poeple don't realize that that is how an regular machine works.
Gene Rost I would
@@flowerhour9539 Doesn't it make more sense to rinse by putting it through another wash cycle? They get swished around and rinsed. In the spinner, the clothes are compressed together. How are they suppose to rinse properly that way?
@@gayled3059 Gayle absolutely. I own one of these and what I actually do is wash, move the clothes to spin out the dirty water, move the clothes back to the wash cycle for a clean water rinse, then move the clothes one more time for their final spin dry;)
I have used a washing machine like this, in Australia we call them a twin tub... l always put the clothes back in the wash side with clean water, after the 1st spin, it helps make sure all the soap is out of the clothing. It's an extra step but I think the results are worthwhile. All the best with it.
We will do that. Thank you.
Out of curiosity why do you put it in the spin side before rinsing it??
@@awho33 I do the same thing with mine. It's to get out as much of the soapy water as possible before rinsing.
@@NorthernSeclusion You don't need as much soap as a regular washing maching. I have a single tub with a laundry alternative spin dryer only takes a couple of hours and clothes are dry if hanging them up.
@@awho33 it helps remove soap
That one is so much better than the $100 one on amazon.
I have one, If you add water to the wash side after you drain it and run a rinse cycle before you add it to the spin side it works best
Thanks for this reply. I was wondering why they did not rinse the soap out prior to putting in the spin dryer. Maybe the instructions say to do it that way???
Have Fun -that makes sense, then it’s much like a regular washer. Add some Vinegar to that Rinse Cycle too.
Mine is a Panda but it's almost exactly the same (the dials look a little different). I do this as well. Wash, spin, rinse, spin. The key is not to add too much soap. I keep mine on my deck. Works great, water goes over the side.
Have Fun-LOL I didn't see your comment before I posted, thanks for the confirmation, yes, that works best to rinse out the suds.
I think it has a rise cycle in the spin side. Ours did.
We used to have one when I was a kid. I think Hoover made them. Worked great.
Sooo glad to see Melissa made the big move!! Good luck on your relationship. My sister uses a machine like that and luvs it.
Hello there. I retired to the Dominican Republic and These machines are used everywhere because most can't afford regular machines. More and more people are in the last few years are getting regular machines but most still use these. Once you finish the wash after draining you REFILL the same side to rinse and fabric softener if desired. The smaller side (the right side) is for drying only. I hope that helps.
The most efficient way to do a rinse is to repeat the washing process without detergent and you can even add fabric softener if you want to
This sold me..I’m definitely going to purchase this as a gift to myself for Xmas💁🏽♀️ Very helpful
Thanks for sharing I have been looking for something like this for my 5th wheeler
Thank you for the video Joe!
" Hi Joe & Melissa, Awesome Video That Washing Machine Is Going Too Workout Great, My Grandmother's Name Was Della.!!! "
I like it. Thanks for sharing!
Joe I couldn't believe how well the washing machine did your pants was really clean in the end. The spinner done really well getting the water out I was really shocked. I will keep these in mind when I am traveling and need to wash clothes. Thanks Joe and Melissa as well.
I can't wait to get mine... 2 more days... I watched all the reviews I like this one due to the pump and the size. Thanks for your review.
Thank you so much for your video... I've been trying to figure out which one to buy and I think it's going to be this one - it seems to have some pretty good washing power
I just got one of these too. The drain pump and slightly bigger size were the game changers for me.
What a great little machine. Cant beat the price, either!
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the new machine I live in a country where traditional washing machines are outrageously expensive. We are a family of four and we use one like yours and a smaller one also. One important thing is if you fill the spinner up too much it will sometimes sling the clothes out. You will have to adjust your soap usage because it is not the same measurement as the soap manufactures recommendation. Oh and I love the spin cycle. We use a clothes line and our clothes are dry in about 15 minutes on good sunny days except for jeans
Maybe you could place the overfilled spinner right next to the clothesline and then the spinner wd fling them out rightt onto the clothesline!
You have quite a following. I'm surprised you didn't read the instructions first. There's a weight maximum for the wash, The spin maximum is about 1/3 of the wash size. Overloading will damage the machine. Most people spin out the soapy water in the spin side, then refill the washer, agitate again to rinse out more soap, then spin again to remove all the soap.
Yes it great idea
Neat. Thanks for sharing!
Throw some vinegar in the rinse water and it will help pull the soap out. Did it not come with instructions?
Hopefully you will read the comments before doing the next load! By the way, you will shorten the life of that extractor by adding water! Don’t do that any more! Lol!
Add a lint trap to the drain hose because the one in the washer side is useless! If you guys find clothes tangled a lot pick up some mesh bags that they sell for washing delicates and it will work wonders! But the lint trap is a must!
Anne K where can one purchase a lint trap to the drain hose
Nic Nico You can find them at any hardware store and even some major grocery stores! If you have never seen one they look like a long mesh bag made of a wire type material and it attaches to the end of the hose by a wire type clamp that is included! It will keep your plumbing from becoming clogged!
Anne K what model is this and dose it have a built in pump
@@annek1226 In another video comment section a lady suggests to use a panty hose on the end of the drain hose to catch the excess lint. And there are those lint catchers you can get on Wish for a dollar to use in the wash as well. Cheers!
@@nicnico1734 : In addition to a floating lint trap, you could simply use a mesh drain strainer to catch any residual lint.
I like that it didnt leak water from underneath. I bought another DELLA model back on 2/18 and I unfortunately have to use a bucket to catch the water and am considering this model instead. Thank you!
Thumbs up ,great buy...
These machines are the same as a conventional washer only they are done manually. Conventional washers have cycles, wash,spin,rinse, spin. The water inlet on the rinse side is to allow spurts of water to help rinse off as much of the soapy water as possible just like a bigger washing machine does. Once the clothes are done with the first spin, you fill up the wash tub again with clean water, and start the rinse cycle. Then you give the clothes the final spin, and get ready to hang to dry.
Great video thanks
Thanks for information
Very cool gotta get one
Nothin nicer than a fresh set of sheets, tees and socks eh. Nice unit bud. We do know how to haul dirt home eh, LOL.
Pour water over the cloths while it spins, it's like a rinse cycle;)
I've got an older one that actually works pretty well. I traded a dehumidifier for it. The spin side drains the wash side.
Joe-good stuff as always. Watching you work thru and learn as you go is great to see. You could easily work out all the details out in advance and THEN make your video, but this way is SO much better-puts us right there with you. Top shelf! I know I can't apologize for others, but it makes me angry when people try and tell you how tho handle your business. You are kind enough to let us see these glimpses into your world, WE ALL owe you the respect to respect your boundaries without question. Your videos are my favorite, hands-down.
Not useful if it's done incorrectly, plus adding price would be most helpful. Thanks.
We got one on Amazon for our motor home. It’s going with us next week to Colorado for the summer.
i've had my portable washer for about a year now and would like to give a tip, when you do ur wash for the 15mins and let the water drain then run a second wash an add fabric softener. this will rinse the clothes and make them less stiff if hanging to dry.
I bought mine from wish, for $118...the best invention since slice bread !!!
what guarantees do u have from wish site that you will get what you paid for?
$150 not a bad price. I was looking at these for my apartment, different brands, watching a few videos. I think you should do a rinse cycle before spinning though or the soap will stay in your clothes. Thanks for showing this, seems to work really well. Welcome to Minnesota Melissa!
Without the warranty they are 109.00. That is not bad at all.
I need this!!!!! Could wash my daughters school clothes n hobby’s work clothes
We have one, works great.
Not bad twin tub. This is the first type of washing machine I purchased, well the more heavy duty one and it did the job. Then, I got lazy and I bought an automatic one. I am yet to train the washing to jump on the line since us Aussies don't use the drier much :)
This is cool! I’ll have to pick one up for my 5th wheel!..what would’ve been even cooler is cooking pork steaks while washing clothes LOL
American Axe & Tool Co and a baked potato with canned butter!
don't forget about the Corona
and the lighter fluid
eh, I guess the lighter fluid wouldn't be needed for this instance
That is almost twice the size of the other twin tub units out there. The basic cycle is - WASH - SPIN Rinse - Full Rinse (back in the wash tub) - Final rinse in the spin dryer
That machine is so pretty! I actually just got one that is a smaller 13lb model and I chose it for it's style and the fact that it is manufactured in the United States (Best Choice.) Plus, that's the size I really needed in my space. I was leaning towards a larger 17lb Giantex (or sometimes called Costway) at first because it has good reviews, and it has a lint tray, along with the fact that it was only about $20 more. But the deep blue lids to the one I purchased was what I was going to look at every day so... I got mine for $79 on Google Express which offered a 20% discount for first time buyers. It linked to Best Choose Products, otherwise there would of been no discount if bought straight from them. I should receive it in a few days and can't wait. It's all about saving money and less steps to do laundry than going to the laundromat for me. Thanks for the video! Cheers!
Like I previously mentioned, I had one 40 years ago, how I rinsed the clothes was fill up the washer part again and run thru another wash to get all suds out, then put into the spinner to dry. try it cause it really works that way.
Well that seemed to do the job just fine and not too expensive so win win. Keep us posted Joe, if it shit's itself or something happens. Cheers Moose.
Mmmmmm we hada Hoover twin tub back in the 60's and I bought a new on in the late 90's look them up there the same thing :-)
I had one of those worked great for about a year and a half then didn't. BUT for the price you end up saving money from using a laundromat and you KNOW what had been washed in there. You can be sure of a clean machine. The added plus is you don't need to sit and do nothing while your clothes wash. They can be found for under $100, in fact I got mine for $89 with free shipping from WaMart online. They go a great job. I also want to add, I used mine heavily and had farm grime too. I was p;eased with it for what I paid.
We like this one too. It is of course more work than just a regular washer but the alternative of hand washing or like you mentioned using a laundromat far outweighs that.
We haven't used top-loading washing machines in the UK since the 1970s (I remember my grandmother used to have one). We've been using front-loaders for decades - another one of those odd differences on the opposite sides of the pond. We invariably boil water for hot drinks in electric kettles too!
I think it's just becoming popular in the states again to use these simple washing machines. People are realizing they can do this at home instead of going to the laundromat and save a bunch of money. That's how I feel too! But basic sometimes is better....like boiling water over a fire😁
had front loader washers n top load ones; the top load immersion washers are SO much better.
Run the wash with soap then run with clear water then spin. I did see that video a while back in the bath tub...lol
soap cycle, rinse cyle on lefty side, then spin
You can wash your chlothes to rinse ..but i have 2 of them one small that one ..too ..i love it
I have the large panda version holds 11 lb absolutely love this thing spins it out so dry... you can hang them on hangers over a shower rod and in an hour and they're dry in a house
Is this model panda still available? Or did Della take it?
Mike Levy mine is a Panda MODEL # XPB45 my daughter bought mine off Amazon there's quite a few reviews for them on TH-cam that's what sold me... Plus at the time it's one of the largest capacity and I'm not sure if Della or giantex is doing them now
@@sharongypsydove8396 cant find a panda online anywhere now. must b stuck in china
This is the way to go.
That was a nifty purchase......thank God for Melissa. I would recommend she power wash your jeans before placing them in a washer, Daaaaayyyyyuuum Joe, those suckers had more dirt than fiber....lololololololololololol
These are popular washing machines in the Dominican. Everyone has one
YOUR subpost to put the clothes after the spin back in the washer to rince. Then back in the spin.
I would do a rinse cycle in washer side prior to spinning. Try that.
Put the soapy clothes under running water in the sink to rinse. Much faster that way.
Mine is a gravity drain which was a problem for me. Too heavy to lift into the bathtub. So I had to buy an aquarium pump to pump the water out of the washer. Then I have to let the rest of the water drain by gravity into a plastic tub. It's a nuisance. But I still use it.
I saw this on a channel and am going to get one when I get our 5th wheel and just hang every thing up in the bath room or over the shower rod or the space heater
on amazon u can get a pull out clothes rack. its a bar about 18 inches long you attach it with super glue near your shower head on the wall. then you pull the bar directly out from the wall and 5 cords will stretch across the length of your bathtub and you attach a couple hooks on the far side to hook it onto. gives you 5 cords to hang stuff on.
Wash once with soap. Drain. Then to rinse, wash again with just clear water. Then move to the other side and spin dry. ... My big washer, washes, drains, spins the dirty water out, fills again with clear water, agitates, drains, spin rinses, then spin dries, but I think you can get away without spinning the dirty water out and just agitating with clear water if your clothes are not construction dirty. If construction dirty I may rinse with clear water 2 times before I move it to the other side. 😉💝☀🌵 Did I tell you it hit 100f yesterday.
100f?
You should also leave the lids open after you use to let it dry inside the the wash and spin side
That thing is cool. I wonder how it would do with grease in the clothing. I have an old washer I use to wash my work clothes it is on its way out this might be a good alternative.
use blue dawn 4x dish soap for greasy clothes
i drain the wash side out then fill it up with clean water 2 times run it 5 mins each time for a rinse cycle then spin dry
cant believe the price... very reasonable
And there are cheaper ones and smaller ones! It pays for itself!
Those were some nasty jeans.
William Nelson hahaha...there was
Called working mans jeans
3:05 seconds
No rinse??? Not good! I wouldn't want soap on my skin. Do a rinse cycle add some vinegar to the rinse cycle which Will remove the soap and acts as a fabric softener. I have been using vinegar in my laundry for years. 1/4 cup for large loads.
And vinegar kills germs. All we need to clean anything...but companies that make cleaning products don't want us to know that😆
It’s just like the Chinese one I have in the Philippines. All plastic but works
wont rust
maybe you could do a wash cycle with just clean water after the soap
A rinse cycle using soapy clothes in clean water will just slosh the clothes around in diluted soapy water, which will redeposit on the clothes. Best to run the soapy clothes under the faucet in a sink or tub so that the clothes can get 100% rinsed.
Does it have a pump to drain or gravity and what model and serial number is it thank you for the broadcast! I watched a guy spin dry and put it back in the wash part to rinse then back in spin dry and came out great! I need to know model and serial number I need one but can't locate it!
I am looking into buying one. I want to see which ones actually last for a long time. Does yours still run good?
Don't you want to do a cycle with only water to rinse out the soap? Cool old style contraption... ☺
So this is a pump drain ? The ones I was looking at we're all gravity drain how long have you had this? Where did u get it?
Do you think it can work in the kitchen n pump the water up n into my kitchen sink?
I would have added water on the wash side after the 1st drain and rinsed the clothes that way.
I have a Kuppet Washing Machine,it’s made just like Ur Della
After wash cycle drain and refill wash ur clothes with no soap for 5 minutes that will take soap out of clothes. Then move clothes over to the spin that's what I do and it really helps getting the soap out.
Never seen one of those kind of those kind of washerman l
Where did you buy it? I like it alot. Thanks for the share.

bonjour , that was dirty :-) .
Dis tis have rinse cycle? Or was ir a spin/rinse cycle?
Warm/cold are OK in these types of washer, but do not add extremely hot water!
That is cool You should bring One up to the tent
Where did you guys buy this washer from? And how many pounds does it hold?
Did Melissa say $150?
We’re here in Minnesota also, where did she pick it up? We’ve been looking for one for our 5th wheel. And this looks like it works well
She is asleep right now but I believe she bought it on Amazon. It was 150 after the warranty.

i guess for the price its ok. but for me it seems like a real hassle. i'd be going to a laundromat every week.
Where can I get this exact one?
my washing machine. empties after the soap cycle. fills with water and agitates to rinse then does the spin cycle.
I ordered one yesterday, after 2 months of consistent research. Are you still enjoying it? Have you picked up any tips you may pass along? Thanks.
Tiffany Jones I’ve had mine since March of this year, and it’s still going strong. I actually load it up, even wash my king size bed sheets and pillow cases. A lot of people barely fill them thinking it won’t wash properly but my clothes go in dirty and come out very clean and fresh.
@@jamieboy116 I've had mine for a month now and it is the smartest home purchase I've made in a while. It is absolutely worth every penny. I've ordered a 2.6 cu ft. compact dryer to complement the Della.
If anyone is looking for a rugged workhorse of a washing machine, this Della is it! I purchased mine directly from the distributor, OneBigOutlet.com for $132.97 Free Shipping & No Tax.
kinda cool for convenience but I think I'd still go find a laundromat
You are supposed to do a rinse cycle after wash cycle if you did.
