- This washer is about $145.00 on Amazon, if its out of stock I put comparable models in links below.
This is my thumbs up review of the DELLA Portable Mini Compact Twin Tub Washing Machine Washer Spin Dryer Cycle (9KG) 048-gm-48216 with BUILT-IN PUMP. and no its not sponsored I just like to help bring to light great affordable and obscure products. this washing machine is perfect for apartments or any tight places that dont have washer hook ups. it is a fully manual washer though meaning you have to add and turn off water yourself as well as transfer clothes from the wash section to the spinner and back again for rinsing. the washer is in my opinion washes the clothes with a similar agitation strength to a normal home washer. let me not forget though the spinner spins out 90 percent of the water it will not be dry enough to wear but hanging it dry will only take several hrs for light items. towels and jeans will take longer.

I bought this machine because of your review and I'm madly in love with it! My husband despises the spin cycle, but I just hang the clothes and throw on the heating lamp/space heater and come back to dry clothes in a few hours. It's not that big of a deal. This thorough review was EXACTLY what I needed, when I needed it, and I cannot thank you enough! You answered every single question I had, and then some. ❤️ I also dig your lighting and background set-up. Obviously, a lot of thought goes into your videos and it's appreciated. Wonderful job all around!
Hello I really appreciate that. Your comment warms my heart because you don't know how many takes I had to shoot to get it right each time and make sure everything was in focus and that my microphone was at the right level. That's so funny what you said about your husband, I feel the same way as you do oh, I recently moved into a duplex that has a normal washer and dryer and I feel sad when I look at my Della washer in the shed not being used and how helpful it was. What kind of place do you live that makes this helpful and which room do you use the bathroom or kitchen?
I recently moved from FL to CA to go to grad school for producing (which is why I'm now a subscriber to your channel and have added half your reviews to my Amazon cart) and I didn't know you COULD have a washer in an apartment (without hook ups) until I was out here scouting for a place to live. I stayed at an AirBnb and the lady had a full sized washer hooked up to her kitchen sink with tubes for water and draining. As soon as I got a place in a good area (had to settle for no washer/dryers, because a 600sqft apartment goes for $2000 a month and I had to pick my battles. A good school for the kid was more important) I knew I had to MacGyver something similar to her set-up to save some money every month, but I was worried about pipes and leaking hoses. The last thing I needed was to mess up my new place while trying to save a buck, and I stumbled upon portable washers for apartments. 🤯 Who knew?! I could have BEEN saving money for the last... 10 years of apartment laundry rooms. 🤮 Makes me sick when I think of all that cash I flushed away. (Although, who knows, I bet these babies were ridiculously expensive and prone to breaking back then, so I might have lucked out by being clueless).
Anywho, I use mine in the bathroom. Set it in the back shower stall and run an extension cord from the wall, over the shower door (to avoid possible death), and wrap the whole plug with a plastic bag in case the shower hose goes for a samba while I'm swapping/rinsing/reloading clothes. Also, you were right about the detergent. Lol. There's a learning curve but, by the end of day 1, you get it figured out. I did find that tucking the top layer of clothes around the sides of the bottom clothes keeps them from rising up and being unbalanced (like the top layer of a pie, but instead of pinching down and out with a fork, you push down and in to lock in the layers of clothes). Now, I never have to worry about it sounding like a horse is loose in the bathroom. 😍 I'm buying one for my mom for Mother's Day, one for my brother for his birthday, and a dozen for my family in Romania- one at a time of course, because #StudentLife
@@Raychristofer Also, have you considered donating your Della to a shelter or local homeless organization? Now that you're living in a wonderful duplex (Congratulations by the way. That's phenomenal!), you can pass off your washer to someone in need. Lol, or donate it to a college dorm 😂 #EternallyGrateful #FreeInterns?
@@boomsoupmfaproducing9901 that is definitely something to consider. I almost don't want to get rid of it but I actually put it up for sale on Craigslist yesterday. TH-cam take so much time sometimes if companies send me gear and I'm finished I will sell it to recoup. Della didn't send me this washer but they actually after seeing this video allowed me to choose anything from their catalog and they sent me a portable air conditioner which I reviewed less than a week ago. That video is nowhere near as popular as this one though
If your husband gets that freaked out over a spin cycle, yall might be overdo for a vacation. He sounds like he bursting at the seams lol!
People who get one of these portable washing machines (no matter the size or brand) always say their one regret is not getting one sooner. I think that's just proof how good these machines are. I think your video is the most informative for these machines. You did a great job covering everything, including mentioning not using a lot of detergent. I've seen some people think there's something wrong with the machine when to suds won't drain, not realizing it's just they don't need as much detergent. So that actually makes these even more economical.
I bought this machine because of this review. It’s the best! And I put the quarters in a jar as if I’d be paying for laundry and that money will be my vacation spending money! Thanks so so much.
Hello Deb thank you. Seriously this is my most rewarding video from all the positive comments of appreciative viewers. I also have fun using it. It's like a big useful grown up toy lol. Where would you like to go for vacation? We were thinking of Washington state or British Columbia. Florida is so hot and flat we need a chamge
I am going to do the same thing with my quarters I told my son this just a few hours ago.
I just ordered one today that’s a great idea
Imma do that after 2 months so that i know my washer got paid off on those months. Then start saving my quarters
Damn that's a great idea! I am going to purchase this brand now!
ive been using this washer for the last 6 years, it has taken great care of me and my family. it might not be the biggest but what an amazing product for the price. i suggest them to everyone, i also got a matching plug in dryer and it has served amazing as well.
I purchased the grey one for my aunt and she loves it. Anyone who is considering buying this, do it. Plus, I think it cleans better than my full sized washer.
I heard that. Yes it's a cool thing to have for apartment dwellers.
I bought this washer years ago for my son. He used it for about 1 year and decided to use the apartment complex's washer/dryer, so it went into storage. Fast forward to yesterday, when I started having a problem with the spin cycle of my Maytag Bravos 400 series washer. We got the Della washer out of storage and I cleaned it up. I searched the internet for a video on how to operate it and I found your video. I'm using the washer only for the spin cycle. This is a good washer, great design!
OMG!...I live in an apt. and Ive been waching clothes by hand or out laundry, but this is small enough and does the job, I love the way you explain everything so clear........thank you, will order this baby soon!!!!
Hey thanks so much. Yes it's a big time and money saver. Glad it was helpful
*IMPORTANT: When going from spin cycle to drying make SURE you wring your clothes out in the washer (takes like 2 seconds) and THEN put them in the dryer... the water is less packed in the clothes and allows them to come out much more dry!*
So I have a question, I bought this a few days ago for my apartment and I’ve used it like 2 times and I absolutely love it. I don’t know if I’m using it wrong so I though I’d ask. When you use the spin cycle, does the drain need to be opened?
hello, I actually showed that in the video
hello good question, no you dont have to open the drain. then you turn on the spinner theres a cable that opens it automatically, its geniously designed
I have this washer! I actually just finished doing laundry with it. Apparently I got mine only 4 months before you did and she's still going strong. I'm so glad to have found my Della, it's exactly what I need. I live in a small apartment, and there were just a few things about my experience with this washer I thought might be helpful for others:
Lint catchers. I have 3 of the floating ones, a net at the end of the drain hose and another in the bathtub drain. These are necessary for me, since I have long hair and two cats who shed a great deal.
My bathroom is too small to keep the Della in when I'm not doing laundry, so I have it on a furniture dolly and I just roll it in there when it's time to do laundry. I also put a rug under the wheels trying to muffle the sound, since I have downstairs neighbors.
Even with the rug, it makes enough noise that I never do laundry before noon.
Be sure to snap out clothing before you hang it up; snapping it out helps IMMENSELY with wrinkles.
As a backup for if/ when anything breaks on the Della, I also got a Breathing Mobile Washer from Amazon (as per one reviewer's suggestion, I discarded the short handle that came with it and instead attached one from the Quickie Cobweb Duster, which has an adjustable height so you won't strain your back). It works surprisingly well! To replicate the spin dry I ordered a 5 gallon salad spinner; I'm waiting on that to come in. I love my Della and am so dependent on it that now I'm not willing to go without ever again.
thanks so much for this detail, you and I should have reviewed it together lol
I’m waiting for mine to be delivered. I’m very excited, no more community washing machines that never get cleaned. Actual clean clothes, and the ability to soak clothing if needed.
Hello Kathy it's a beautiful thing to be independent from the man and depending on their machines that sometimes don't work. Mine is still running perfect, I've since moves to a house with a big washer but I keep this one in the garage yo wash my puppies blankets. Let me know how you do with it and thanks for the comment
Your video was extremely helpful. In fact, I had purchased the smaller Della version, returned it and bought the one you reviewed because of the excellent review and the drain pump. Thanks so much for your help!
Youre welcome Miss Judy, I love this vid because I get so many cool ladies like yourself commenting, my channel is usually boring dudes lol.
I've had my washer 2 months now and I absolutely love it!!! I enjoyed your video.
Crystal Barron hello Crystal that's great to know. You prob bought it right before me. I'm finding out these machines aren't new at all and have been around in other countries for decades. Thanks for taking the time to comment
I'm buying this next week, thanks for the review! Very nice, high-quality video, & very professional, good job!
Hello lance I really appreciate that. Yes I try to take time to shoot and edit my work to be as entertaining as possible which isn't easy reviewing something like this lol. Glad to be of svc
so did you buy it how do you like it
This is the best review for a portable washer that I've seen so far, very informative.
Word up JR, thanks man, respect. let me know if you get one
Yes it is and he did everything correctly, his mother taught him well.
Well, it's 2021 and everything about this video still applies!! Excellent presentation, I just bought one and couldn't be happier. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Excellent review!!!🤗 I’ve watched a lot of reviews, not necessarily for this specific brand, but for portable washers in general. This is one of the more thorough and informative videos in my opinion!🤗
What's up 70s girls? Mad respect for checking this out and taking the time to leave a comment. I'm also from the 70s, I guess we're a Dying Breed LOL. One thing about me though, I don't mess around with my reviews I try to be as thorough as possible without wasting too much time or drinking coffee in people's face. I hope that makes sense.
This seal the deal for me, I have been eyeing this machine for months trying to decide if this is the right one. I will be purchasing this machine next week in gray and white...Thanks again💁🏽♀️
Word up miss Kellie, may your dresses smell like fresh morning dew and their colors stay true. Respect
Better get one real soon because I can already see they are going up in price, like 2 times the retail.
I just bought one and I am so excited! This was a great video, beautifully executed and very informative. Thank you!!
Pretty good review, you explained everything better than most people do regarding almost any products they buy!
Big Charlie I really appreciate that. The thing is I pull my hair out watching reviews when folks talk twenty minutes and leave out a bunch of information. My channel is primarily about photography and vidro but I had to make this vid to challenge myself and help folks. Glad it helped you out . There may be other product reviews on my channel you .can benefit from also. Thanks
Excellent review. Thanks so much for it. I am looking at one of these and wanted to see a "real" review by someone who uses it. I feel very confident in the machine now.
Thank you for taking the time to comment Miss moxie. This is one of my most rewarding videos I made even though it has nothing to do with photography LOL. So many positive comments. Big respect, and let me know your experience if you get one.
Great review! I don't think you left anything out. I feel more equipped like now I know what to do and how to wash properly when I get my della. Thanks for the video!
Thank you Jaynie for checking it out and the comment. I try hard to be a good communicator sorry about the "even a woman " comment some friends pointed out it sounded offensive. Let me know how you get on with it when it comes and remember to order a drying rack
Your detail review of the pros and cons has sold me. I live in an apartment but I don't want to invest in a big washer and this is the ideal washer for me. You are a great spokesperson. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Diana I appreciate that so much. I'm a photography hannel but this random video gives more positive comments than most my other work. You will appreciate this washer it's a blessing to be able to wash in middle of night or morning and not have to run fifteen dollars in quarters thru the laundromat. Mines still working like new.
This is the first time I've seen this machine. They sure look great. Seems like a top notch washer . Thank you for a in-depth demonstration.
Hello Linda thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and check out the video.
Dude,
I have watched dozens of videos on these machines and this is the best one by far.
Thank you for being you and providing this for us! :-)
Thanks so much Cort I appreciate it. This is a photography channel but I knew folks could benefit. We have the same last name. so many ladies are grilling me about that comment "even a lady can move it" lol live and learn.
@@Raychristofer
Yeah buddy, that one sent me and my girl for a quick laugh.
We know you didn't mean anything bad by it, but in todays political climate it can draw some negative attention.
Just bought mine and it was delivered a few minutes ago. I’m so happy. It was only $156 and I’m saving $125 I would spend throughout the year.
What's uuuup! That's what's up. Nice. Get back with me in a week let me know how it goes.
@@Raychristofer Lol I’m so slow. I left the drain part on the floor and the water went underneath it. Hahahahah. I got it now I’m going to town washing all my clothes. Lol. Thanks for the video.
I've watched many many videos on different types of portable washers.i come to the conclusion that everyone do it the way it works best for each and everyone!!!
OMG I LOVED THIS REVIEW SO MUCH I JUST MOVED INTO A TINY APT IT DOES HAVE A WASHER AND DRYER HOOK UP BUT DUE TO ME HAVING TO BUY FURNITURE AND EVERYTHING FOR MY NEW PLACE THIS IS A GREAT CHEAP VERSION FOR ME RIGHT NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH BLESSINGS TO YOU
Best review out there of any portable machines. Thank you so much!!
Hello thank you, yes this is a photography channel but i was so fired up about this I threw it in as a wild card. one of my most popular videos. glad it helped.
Thank you for your review! Just purchased the same unit from Amazon!! Can’t wait!!
Hello Mrs Monica sorry i missed your comment a month ago. how are you getting along with the washer so far?
That kind of washer is called a 'Dual Tub', and it's actually been around for decades. I've seen other TH-cam videos of people showing off older models. They seemed to have fallen out of favor by the late 1970s or so, but recently you can find them again because of their small size and lower power consumption. The spinner sounds like a car engine revving up once it gets going!
Hello fixie thanks for that info. Yes mine is still running perfect.
@@Raychristofer Here's one of the videos of older models I was referring to (one is from 1970 and the other is from 1973!)
th-cam.com/video/ZIRQreRtdGg/w-d-xo.html
Thanx for ur review. When my whirlpool conks out I will buy me one of these. I've seen so many reviews and this review is excellent.☺
Thanks Pretty Brown Eyes I appreciate that. I moved to a place that has proper full-size washers but I keep this in the garage and use it still for my puppy dogs blankets and stuff still working perfectly
Incredibly useful information. Especially the part about the pump. That can make a big difference. I also appreciate your warning us about the hose popping off. The sort of thing you don't learn from ads.
Hello thank you I really appreciate that. I'm still surprised how many people benefit from this video. One thing I did not realize was the kit comes with a metal clamp and that is what I should have been using to clamp the hose to the faucet. It's still not perfect and can still pop off under full pressure but it's way better. I'm going to tell you a secret I don't tell anyone. About 6 months ago I forgot to turn off the drain pump and it ran for about 5 hours, when I got back the drain pump no longer would turn on. I called the warranty people and within 24 hours they sent me a full refund of its purchase price. The crazy thing is 5 days later something told me to try the pump again and it worked. True story
I just ordered one because of your review!!! I can't wait to receive my new toy...oh yeah! 😊
Awesome I'm glad you were able to get one because when I first made this review they were constantly out of stock. Hopefully you were able to use the link in my description LOL. It helps out the channel. Let me know your experience when you get it and it's a good idea to order some kind of drying rack also. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the video. My best friends surprised me today with one like this for my birthday. I have never experienced wrinkles in my clothes as I have been washing only in apartment laundry and then hanging to dry with a fan in bathroom. They always come out like I ironed them. I am excited to find out how well this works....have wanted one for a long time.
Hello Miss Riva that's awesome. It's good to not be dependent on the apt and be able to wash in the middle of the night even. Let me know how you get on with yours. Respect
Great job, man. Your video quality is beautiful, too.
Thank you bro I appreciate that, I do a lot of Photography and video so when the time came to review this it was cool because I had all the lighting and tripods and microphones. One of my viewers told me this item is out of stock on Amazon which is a shame because a lot of people are checking it out
Yes, I'm trying to purchase the somewhat smaller model.
i just bought this! thanks for your very through review. im excited to start using it!
No problem boss you're very welcome I wasn't sure if this was one of those videos that was catch on quick or fizzle out but I knew it would help a few people out there and that's what matters. After you use it for a while let me know your experience with it. Respect
Thanks Ray for the very detailed review, i have it on my wish list on Amazon and will be buying this item.
What's up Miss Sonja how are you? I love this video because I get so many cool ladies commenting it's usually boring guys on my channel LOL. Please let me know your experience when you get it and remember to get at least two drying racks
@@Raychristofer i will absolutely...and i'm doing good i was just on here to see a convincing review, and now my mind is made up.
Thanks for caring about poor folks bro! God bless you man!
I put my order in and waiting to get it in the mail. I am so excited. Can’t wait.
Hello Me Bass thanks so much I'm glad this helped you. Plz let me know how it goes when you get it running. I like using it, reminds me of driving a stick shift car and it's a good feeling to stick it to the man. Remember not to leave the pump running and forget while you're watching TV though.
Hi Ray, I want to thank you for posting this video on the Della. I'm dissabled because of my back, live in an apartment and going to the laundry mat was a huge deal. Your description of the washer and all the helpful info you shared convinced me to try this one out of the many types out there. I've had it about four month's now and it's the love of my life lol! Thanks again, great job!!
Hello Elizabeth how are you? It makes me feel so good when ladies like you comment and appreciate the video, I put a lot of time into making it as detailed as possible and entertaining. I'm going to tell you something that happened to me with my washer, last week I turned on the pump to let out the dirty water and I went inside to do something and forgot the pump on it ran for about an hour and a half, when I finally remembered the pump had burned out. Fortunately there's a valve that opens a gravity drain so you can still drain it without the pump. The beautiful thing is I put in my warranty number on the Assurant website and in less than half hour they gave me an Amazon credit for the full amount of the washer. I highly recommend getting that warranty and remembering not to leave the pump running LOL.
@@Raychristofer See?! That's another helpful tip. I had no idea there is a valve i can open and drain the water if the pump burns out.
I have a real hard time commiting to buying something sight unseen and i also seem to need to know ALL the details. You were the only guy who covered every single question i had about it! I watched so many of these video's with that one question no one had the answer for. I just wanted to know if my 110 plug in/in the bathroom would be compatible for this washer and you answered that in the begining of your video. I bought a fine wire mesh sink strainer that i pop in the bathtub drain and it works perfect for catching lint. This washer fits my bathroom perfect. I try to stay with it so i don't get sidetracked and leave it. That's awesome they refunded your money! I didn't get the warrenty but i don't remember one being offered. It's been awhile so i don't know... Anyway, Thanks again!
@@elizabethnorris2210 you're welcome, I don't think it's too late to purchase the warranty I have a link in the description where you can get it for $15 for 3 years. When I remove the back of the washer that's when I noticed when you turn on the drain pump is a wire that at the same time opens the release valve. I didn't realize that when I made the video either
@@RaychristoferI'll check the link and thanks for the info on were to find the valve switch, wire. Appreciate that. I've seen a lot of comments on the pump burning up. I try to not overfill it and treat it kindly. I really want it to last awhile :)
Thank you! Very helpful and thorough. The pump is also why I will be buying.
Hey thanks for checking it out. I put some links in the description for portable dryers alao. Let me know your experience with it.
Wow that's really cool, I'll keep this in mind in case we move again to another apartment without a washer. It would be great for an RV too
Yeah man, I stumbled on it in a YT video review otherwise I would not have known about this segment of washers. im curious how did you come across this video. I was sure it was too new for YT to be promoting it yet.
Raychristofer I'm subscribed to your channel so it showed up
I loved your video . I was just looking at this brand . now I know I want this. Thanks a million.
Hello Lisa thanks so much. What I love about this video is so many cool ladies stop by and comment which they never do on my usual photography videos LOL. An interesting thing happened about 3 months ago I forgot to turn off the exhaust pump and when I came back a few hours later it had stopped working and I was mad at myself but since I ordered the warranty within 24 hours a day gave me back the full purchase price. What is crazy though is a week later when I tried the pump it miraculously worked again. Just a thought it's not a bad idea to order that warranty it's in my description
Thank you for the presentation. I just bought me a Della Yesterday!
What's up miss Stacie, glad it helped. Let me know how you get on with it when it comes.
I just used my wonderful Della! FedEx last night. Since, I watched your presentation; I already knew how to operate Della! Thank you for you good presentation Ray..
@@staciehicks7822 word up Miss Stacy you're in the Della club now hahaha. What color did you get? I know the link might take you to the gray version
I bought this machine and the washer never agitated..I opened up the back and the belt was off the pulley..I noticed that the belt to was pulling upwards causing it to slip off. I adjusted the hex nut to bring down the top pulley and put the belt back on..it worked when I turned it on with nothing in it..I added water and a small sheet and nothing happened when I turned it on..my husband seems to think that the weight of the water caused the belt to slip back off...any suggestions on how to fix this problem..it was like this brand new out of the box.
Good Review Ray, Richard Simmons loved the unmentionables...
Lol !!! Pete you ain't right lol.
Really GOOD review, I thought you were the salesman for Della !!! Well done good man!
Hello thanks. Glad it was helpful.
Awesome review man, I'm definitely going to get one of these!
Thanks man glad it helped may all your clothes turn out clean bright and fresh as Dynamite. By the way don't forget to use the link in the description it helps the channel. Let me know your experience when it arrives
Boss I forgot to tell you your channel is legit I love the water and I actually have a kayak right in my living room lol. I did several videos reviews of it on this channel a few years ago feel free to check it out if you like
Omgsoh thank you. This is by far the best review.
Youre welcome Mrs Amy sorry i missed your comment so long
Yes thank you so much . I really needed this in depth info. to help decide. Thanks!
Paula Scott-Frantz No problem Paula you're welcome, when I was researching this I couldn't find everything I wanted to see in one spot so I decided to make this video as if I was making it for myself to watch. Glad you're benefited. Respect
Thank you very much for good explanation of the washer machine!!! I need it.
You're welcome and much respect, I'm actually using it as we speak to wash some of my puppies blankets and towels
You should be on Television. Great review , very professionally done.
Thanks I love you man! Or woman! Lol
I do pretty much what you do, but with one extra step. When I am done with the washer, I add clean water in the machine without clothes and run the agitator for about a minute as it's draining. That cleans out the tub of any dirt or lint that remains inside. I also have to fill my machine with a 5 gallon bucket because the hoses I got with it won't fit my faucets. But it does the job.
Hello moon I really appreciate that feedback comment, and the joke is you are correct and that is something that I do that I forgot to mention rinsing out the tub in the end, the video wound up being so long that I didn't want to include any other segments for fear people wouldn't want to watch to the end. After having it and using it one thing that bothers me is sometimes when a lot of dirty clothes pile up I don't have enough place to hang them and in those cases my wife chooses to just bring them all to the laundromat which defeats the purpose so realistically I probably should be washing a load every other day and drying them on the rack before it gets out of hand.
Yeah, these machines are good for 1 or 2 people who keep on top of their laundry and not let it pile up. And since it is just me and Wilma, who likes to walk around the house naked, I find that doing laundry for just myself easy to manage and takes less than an hour.
(Wilma is my cat BTW, she doesn't need clothes. LOL)
@@moonport1 LOL LOL, that's priceless LOL
moonport1 someone said that you could take a turkey baster and cut a slit in the "bulb" part and attach it to your faucet. Then attach the hose to the "dropper" end of the turkey baster. Hope that makes sense.
@@Cupcake1007857 that's interesting, I can picture that but I really have to see it work with my own eyes.. someone commented that the metal ring spring was to hold it on tighter to the faucet I found the Ring Thing and it does help but I still can't turn the water on full blast without it popping off
Yayyy I'm getting mines this Friday with a panda portable dryer...cant wait!
you'nique yankee what's up that's good news. Make sure you hear from me to how the panda dryer performs. And if you do it review feel free to give me a shout out LOL. I'm glad this video was helpful because I know there are people out there who could use it. By the way whenever I visit Jamaica because I wasn't born there my friends and family call me the Yankee also LOL
🤔 could we be related...lol I was born in Jamaica and before I move to the states I would travel every summer for vacay and when I got back home my grandma Nick named me Yankee cause she said I was acting boujee 😂
you'nique yankee that's too funny, believe me there's a lot of bougie Jamaicans as well LOL. My family is from porus Manchester, my dad's last name is Anderson and my mother's last name was Donaldson. I would like to know what my two African Heritage name is but that's a whole nother subject
Hello miss younique , how is your new washer treating you?
Raychristofer hey I just got my Della in the mail is there any tricks to getting to washer to be a little silent because it’s pretty loud
Best review of this washer out there.. Period!
I dont mess around big mack thanks
Great video. Helped me out quite a bit. Thanks!
The best, most inclusive, review I've seen yet! It was just lucky I caught it after just one other video on a Della. I appreciate you showing the belt, as well as directing our attention to this sound or the other. Of course, the "even a woman" comment was not lost on me. Hey, some things can just be a little awkward to handle and often men have a larger wingspan. In any event, after watching your entire review and helping myself to the Amazon links you so kindly provided, you are entirely forgiven. Thank you! Please be sure to review a dryer or steamer anytime. I've subscribed.👍
LOL I really appreciate that comment. And your forgiveness for that ignorant statement I made. I wish I could find a way to delete that portion because I never use a script and sometimes i say thoughtless stuff like that, You watched iit at the right time because it's been out of stock for almost a month and it looks like they changed the color from Blue to Gray. Once you get it let me know how it works out for you. Yes the dryer is an issue because if you're doing a lot of clothes you probably won't have enough space to be hanging them up all over the place LOL
DSherman50 n
Raychristofer + The only one I could find was gray and it cost me $160 plus tax. But it is worth every penny. I am able to hook the hose up to my kitchen sink. However, before I could even plug it in I had to get a quality extension cord because the electrical cord was far too short to plug into my kitchen. My clothes have benefitted from the ability this machine has to deep clean. The problem is that the clothes tend to get tangled together. Now, I only use the gentle cycle and I will put my pants or tops into a mess bags. The jury is out at to whether or not it works. So, how are you coming on a dryer and/or the ultimate rack on which to dry clothes? (You ought to start a review channel!)
@@DSherman50 oh so now we're using drying racks but most of the time my wife will take the clothes to a laundromat next door to use their large dryers when we wind up washing many loads and don't have enough drying rack space. We're actually moving into a duplex house that has a washer and dryer so I'm not sure what I will do with this yet I'm actually going to miss the thing
Raychristofer + Perhaps you might consider diversifying? Or starting a second channel with household appliances, insta pots, electronics in a general sense. Lol, I imagine your hours are limited so I’ll not hold my breath. Congratulations on your duplex, it beats an apartment in so many ways. I suggest you keep your washer for washing rags and towels for washing cars, mop heads, and stuff. The traditional washers are so expensive, too expensive for really tough jobs in my opinion. Let us know what washer/dryer you choose. I’m subbed and curious!
Lot of work but compare to taking the clothes to a laundry place on cold winter... well I'll take this option. Thanks for the review. I got it and instructions dont mention you have to do 2 cycles which make sense.
Thanks Freddy, yes I put a lot of thought into this review because I couldn't find a concise review. Glad it helped. Chinese companies sick at instructions LOL
This is by far one of the best reviews but wanted the measurement too., other than that Thank You Bunches !!!!
Awesome thanks so much click the Amazon Link in the description it'll have all the specs that I was not able to include here. Also a lot of times this particular model is out of stock so I put a few other updates and compatible models in the description also.
I ordered one n I can't wait to use it! Thanks for review
Hey sugarbear glad it helped. Also glad you were able to order one because it's constantly out of stock. We're you able to click my link or did you get it somewhere else?
I ordered it through Walmart.com
I have a model that is nearly identical that someone gave to me. The instruction manual was very poor so thank you for this video to teach me how to use it 😅
Thanks for the excellent review, I’m about to buy one
That's awesome I'm glad you appreciated it. I have a link in the description for the washer as well as drying racks and even some portable dryers that I didn't know existed before this. Let me know your experience when you get it. Thanks
Raychristofer Thank you. I’ll let you know how it goes. Take care 😊
Should have purchased this years ago, thanks for the video!
Awesome Evie, thanks for reaching back out. this vid helped so many like yourself. real cool
I loved ur review so much I tried to get this Della at Walmart & they didn’t have it,but they had a Kuppet that was this size & I got mine delivered 2 weeks ago & mine has a drain pump too & I have a large family & no washer and dryer hook up in my Crib either & this washer goes well with my Panda Electric dryer that I have,so I got Tha complete hook up
What's up Michelle that's awesome, I love hearing comments from viewers like you. yeah this washer is one way to Stick it to the Man. I think I used to spend $20 a week at laundromats . I really would like to find other products like this that a lot of people don't know about.
@@Raychristofer thank you
Excellent review! Just got mine today 🎉 good bye laundry mat!
Raychristopher, excellent review of the Della portable washer. Get yourself a couple of Hesong flower lint catchers at Amazon, you will eventually see lint on the clothes especially if you don't use a heat dryer which filters lint. Be cautious, lint from the machine may be going through the hose into your toilet leading to plumbing problems. Attach an old sock to the end of the water outlet hose to catch lint. Happy laundry days. An informative, fun video review. 😇
Hello thanks I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, you know the strange thing is my washer did not come with the lint clog up inside the link catcher mechanism. What really bothers me is shouldn't the rent closet up the exhaust pump? I think that may be the weak point in this entire washer and when I open the back it looks like a proprietary pump that you can't just find at Home Depot. The sock idea I do remember seeing I'll try it. Yes I tried to shoot and edit this video to be as informative and entertaining as a washing machine review could be lol
Raychristopher, thank you. I enjoy watching I formative videos (now attempting to learn how to caulk gaps around window frame, winter is on the way). I have a PANDA single tub mini washer and the Nina Soft Spin dryer from Laundry Alternative, also known as an extractor in olden days. Laundry can be fun when using these convenience machines.
Mine lasted 18 mos AND i loved it. It is sold out everywhere so i had to get the smaller version but it works so wonderful!
Hello how are you? Thank you. I'm still using mine now but I use it to wash my dog's blankets since I moved to a place with proper washer and dryer. What broke down on your machine after the 18th month?
@@Raychristofer the spinner broke the washer part worked but no spin
@@Raychristofer it was the spinner part the washer worked fine
Excellent review, definition getting one for my apartment
Hey thats awesome, let me know how it goes, respect
Very detailed! Thank you
J Smith in the Hizzle, thank you, good lookin out. now to put you on the spot what was your favorite part?
I have one I bought just the washer at first, and that required wringing clothes, but so much better than taking clothes to the launder mat especially since I lived in Colorado and it was the time of year they were washing horse blankets at the launder-mat, I bought this one, and what a huge time saver, I start my clothes, and do other things while it is washing..I use about 1 tablespoon of soap...and I still have the plastic on mine as well...great review..works like a champ I do 5 loads in about 2 hours, because the spinner is so strong, my clothes dry super fast...
One other thing, I take about a 1/4 cup of Bleach, when I am finished with my clothes and fill the tub about a quarter of the way wash for about 3 minutes and drain it just because I have found that if I dont the machine smells sour~
Yeah Cee Im so impressed with it also. especially how light and reliable it is. glad it helped. Ive always wanted to visit Colorado, Im from flat Florida but have been to california and yosemite many times but Colorado is my next bucket list. thanks for taking the time to comment.
Great review! I was going to replace my portable GE washer as it's a little too big for my new place and found a Della used for sale so came to see what kind of machine it is. I didn't realize these were manual. The problem is brand new is the same price as the portable automatic RCA or Panda in Canada. So spending $300 plus high taxes here for manual machine seems pointless when I can get an automatic portable at a few $ more.
Hello thanks, I hear you bro. Definitely get the auto if it suits your needs best. It's always best to research these things before buying though
OMG. This is funny. I helped a friend move the other day and they gave me a machine like this...I wanted to research how it worked and found this video... I told my girlfriend, "I like this guy, Im gonna subscribe," clicked on your name to see what sort of stuff your channel was about and was surprised to see it was mostly about photography. It wasn't until that moment that I realized I watched your video with Joan Michel earlier.
Hahaha yeah man I'm infiltrating your matrix, cept it's to infuse positive knowledge and steez lol
Thank you this very very informative video..I bought one and when it came and friend of mine helped me get it out of the box and get it set up because I am disabled and have limited strength and mobility. My apartment like most does not have washer n dryer connectors. The one I got was gravity draining and it just would not work out for me. I already submitted for a refund. Because of this video, I am buying this one as I dont have to rig anything to get it to work better. I can just have him take it out of the box and we can hook it up. 😍. I have also subscribed to your channel.
Hello Mrs Dawn so glad this video helped you. Folks with cushy houses can't relate to the laundry issues faced. I recommend have at least two drying racks. I actually put some links to portable dryers in description. My channel is really a photography channel so I'm not sure if my uploads will suit you but thanks for the subscribe.
Thank you bro. This is so helpful and you are good at explaining. Consider giving lectures at higher institutes 👍🏾
Hello thank you I really really really appreciate that. I try my best to be a good communicator. This company also like this review and allowed me to choose anything else from their catalog and I recently reviewed a portable air conditioner. If you get this washer please follow up with me and let me know your experience. Respect
Cool. Good job again
These machines are brilliant
These kinds of machines, the singles and the doubles, are available in a lot of countries. Of course you have the biggest choice in the US. I’ve wanted a washing machine for some time in Thailand (I’m there for a few months). These kinds of machines are just the ticket. We get most of our clothes washed and ironed at a «laundry», but there are some items I always wash myself.
Hello Ann thank you. I'm actually moving in a few weeks to a place that has traditional washer and dryer I'm going to miss this little things and I'm not sure if I should still keep it or sell it
Wonderful review you explain everything well thanks for sharing.
Hello Suzette thanks for taking the time to leave that comment. Most people don't do that. Yes I don't mess around with my reviews I tried to do them as if I was the one watching it needing detailed information
I finally got mine a few days ago and I love it! I got a warranty as well but I hope and pray I have no issues 😩
That's awesome it's great to be able to do laundry whenever you need. Let me know how it goes.
Great review!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mrs Krisia, you make me feel like the Mohammed Ali of washing machine reviewers lol. What prompted you to check this video out do you also live in an apt?
I have this washer and I love it. Added bonus it is low energy use and will operate on solar power. Great for RVers too.
Hello it can run on solar??? goodness I would like to do a review with you showing that. would be epic
@@Raychristofer someone already did one...It's a great washer. th-cam.com/video/PxweVFPTSpA/w-d-xo.html
Awesomeeerrr I have it to ..even thou I have a regular washer machine I love this ..
I like how you inform purchasers how this washer WORKS...
I have a different brand (gravity) washer. Because you explained so well... I'm thinking about changing over.
Hello thank you so much sister I appreciate that. yes so many times I watch a TH-cam tutorial and I'm pulling my hair out because the person leaves out important tidbits or talks too much. I can't do that. I'm glad it was helpful and let me know how it turns out
these videos are so satisfying to watch, christ
Lol thanks so much, considering it's about us cheap washing machine that's the biggest compliment anyone can say LOL. Respect
Wow while living in Shanghai I had to use a similar machine. It drove me crazy! I would go away and forgot to put it in spin clothes were soaking wet. In China most bathrooms have a drain in the floor so gravity drain isn't the problem.
groovesme hello thanks for that real life experience, I'm kind of surprised someone saw this video so soon LOL one thing I'm afraid of Is turning on the water to fill it and forgetting to turn it off. That would be a tragedy. My family is from Jamaica and I can think of countless families who could benefit from this instead of washing my hand.
Raychristofer yeah they make machines that are all in one tub as well a bit more money but worth it.
Clear demo and info good job
Thanks Miss Josie much appreciated, I don't play around with these reviews LOL
Small bucket of water...saw it on other pages but I do love your review!! 😁
awesome thank you good idea
Much appreciated your clear speaking and informative comments on this product. Great job. I am doing a bit of research on mini washers as I now live in an apartment and reg. sized washers are not allowed. Still undecided on brand but leaning toward this Della due to the drain pump but a bit concerned about spinner failure. I have physical disabilities and going up and down 2 flights of stairs to the laundry room here is hard at times. I also owned my own home for over 30 years and the whole idea of "community" washers and dryers makes me uncomfortable for sanitary reasons. I do realize larger items will still need to go to the laundry room but a product like this would help so much. I am wondering if you know the weight of this Della and if there are handles or grippers on the side for me to get it in and out of the bathtub? Thanks again!
Hello Carol thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. And also for not cussing me out for that even a woman comment. I had to delete so many comments because of that LOL. But the washer weighs 46 lb and there are two handles on the side I mentioned them briefly when I was measuring the washer in the beginning. I highly suggest getting it it's good to have it specially if you have the space. If there's anything I could do to help you with it let me know
Good video, should mention the power consumption or hook up a meter for the whole process of one load to measure what it consumes. This is important to alot of people and would be good to note for future products
Hello Hawthorn thanks man, yes I could have mentioned the manual specs for those wanting to know. but most of us arent electrician trained. I have a small volt meter that I use when Im testing my RC equipment but im not well versed in all its functions. I agree that it would be good that someone with the chops could do a test it. what I would like to know is if its overload to run the spinner and washer at the same time like I do. thanks for the input.
I look forward to the follow up video! I’m watching this in 2020 and I’m moving into my apartment soon and I’m wondering about the longevity of these things
Hello no need to follow up it's actually working perfectly still.I actually moved to a house with proper washer and dryer but this one I use outside under the car porch for my dogs blankets and for small floor mats.. I'm impressed
wow very good review! it has been very helpful for me! but I'm not sure if is good option for a family of 4... thank you! keep doing videos! :)
Hello thank you and the size of your family is definitely something to consider. It's probably best to get a full size washer and dryer in your case if where you live has connections for it
I just bought a similar washer and used your idea with the funnel to fill it with water 💦 thanks! 😁👍🏽
Word up Tracy big respect. What model did you get and if you're up to it is love to see if you decide to make a video review also. We're taking steps to not depend on "the man" lol
@@Raychristofer
It is some off brand I've never heard of. I just did a search on Facebook marketplace and found it brand new, still in the box, for $75. It works just like yours and I love it! 😍 I get blood and other stuff on my uniforms that need to be washed right away and this machine fits the bill perfectly!
@@tracyranger nice, I get the feeling there's other parts of the world or developing countries that probably have been using these things for years. The strange thing is I tried to reach out to Della in different ways and I couldn't speak to anyone on the phone or email. That's not cool because if I ever have an issue I would need to talk to them first if the warranty hasn't kicked in yet. Do you work in a hospital setting?
@@Raychristofer
Yes, taking a break from the field, I started working as an ER tech... working side by side with doctors and nurses... and the pay is better too! 😊 👍🏽
Great and informative video. Thank you for sharing! Also curious, is there a 2nd water inlet on the right side of the machine (spinner side)?
Hello thank you I'm glad it helped. I tried to make this the best review of this washer possible. There is a water inlet on the other side I actually spoke about it a little bit and I put the hose on to that end. I never use it though because I feel the clothes will rinse better fully submerged in freshwater. The sad thing is this washer is almost always out of stock if you click the Amazon link you may or may not see it available but I put several links to comparative washers in the description also. Thanks for taking the time to come in
Nice to see a review where the reviewer knows that you do the main rinse in the tub and not the spinner........Great quality review as usual.
Hello Harry how are you? Thank you and that is important what you mentioned because I get many questions asking why don't I just attach the water hose to the spinner section and I always mention that the water will strike the top mostly and it spins so fast that none of that water would reach the bottom. There's nothing worse than picking up your dried clothes only to smell dirty water still in them. Good looking out. I'm trying to remember what video comments I spoke to you in before
@@Raychristofer It was your excellent Rollei video which is still my favorite Rolllei video on TH-cam.........I was pleasantly surprised when you appeared on one of the washing machine videos which was searching through, your a excellent reviewer.. :):)
@@harrystevens3885Thanks Harry I reckon you're my biggest fan. I don't know what kind enough I can see in this video to allow me to choose something from the catalog and they sent me there portable air conditioner detest. I actually shot the fridge already but need to find time to edit it. It's kind of strange mixing appliances with photography gear but it's a good thing about running your own channel. That's funny that you were looking at a washing video and it's on me. Where do you live by the way
@@Raychristofer I am in the UK and love film cameras.:):)
@@harrystevens3885 by the way my rolleiflex review I can't accept as the best. My favorite Channel analog insights did a better more professional version. You've probably seen it
th-cam.com/video/oqjs6WQObj0/w-d-xo.html
these are cute and pretty cool. I wish they had these back when I was traveling for work camping in between locations. this wouldve been really useful but at that time I didn't have a car or a car inverter or converter which wouldve been required to use it by converting 12vdc to 120ac. I just found out about these cuz my brother jist bought one from one of his friends but it was a single washing machine no dryer. we tested it and I was surprised how well it worked. but the problem is when he filled up it and ran it. it was trying to drain the water out while its running on gentle or normal cycle. he had to plug the hose to stop it from draining.
You are so right, this would be killer in an rv even though space is a premium because its so light. so far mine is still working well. thanks for checking this out.
I literally jst purchased one frm amazon 90 buks hell ya hate doin laundry in an apt especially wen u work its way more convenient super excited to use mine!!!
Rocket miss Patricia and you got a steal of a deal right there. I've since move to a house with washer and dryer hookups but I still use this in the garage to wash my dogs blankets and other hardcore things. Working great
What's interesting is I'm looking at Amazon and pretty much all my links are out of stock. I'm curious how you found that one
@@Raychristofer i was roaming amazon n it popped up.. I jst hope it lasts ive read reviews say they use it a couple times n it breaks dwn.. Thanks for ur review cant wait to try it.
I just got mine today and love it. I did make a mistake by adding to much soap but that is my bad for not reading. It going to save me so much money.
Awesome crystal glad my video was helpful. Yes that's one of the first things I learned is too much soap also makes it harder to rinse well. It's a blessing not having to be at the mercy of laundromats
All my Amazon links have been out of stock for a while I'm curious how did you find one to buy?
Great video!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you angel, respect
Amazing! I cant help but notice theres space to modify the top part of the spinner where someone could install a blow dryer or a forced air some how to get the clothes dryer faster.
Hello Sean you're a tinkerer I see. The problem with that is it's not tumbling the clothes so if you do blow hot air in there the ones up against the wall would not get aerated as the one in the middle. There's also a brake attached so when you open the dryer door it stops the motor, you would have to disconnect that also. And now that we think of it it's all plastic and the dryer needs a way to vent the moist air and this doesn't have that. Yes after all of that critical thinking it probably wouldn't work well. You sound like me though I'm always thinking of ways to make things better
very good review,you most normal human been ever👌
Thanks so much joy and I appreciate that. That's one thing I try to do on my channel is be real . Too many folks try to hype up themselves and act like something they're not. Much respect
King ✊🏿Thank you!
Most clear review yet! two questions: Can I fit one comforter in a load? Did you see a serious change in your water/ electricity bill, or is it pretty energy efficient? Thanks :)
Hello thank you. With the comforter I have a queen size bed and my wife prefers to take those comforters to a laundromat with the larger washer. I'm sure it could wash a twin bed comforter though. We only use it maybe twice a week so there's no unusual spike in electric or water bill
