Auertech Portable Washing Machine, 28lbs Twin Tub Washer Mini Compact Laundry Machine with Drain Pump, Semi-automatic 18lbs Washer 10lbs Spinner Combo for Dorms, Apartments, RVs

I had my home renovated and had to move all of my furniture including my washer and dryer out of my home. Once the renovation began, I needed a way to wash my clothing and laundromats become very expensive over time. I saw this item on Amazon and figured I'd try it. The item was delivered quicker than expected. The washer is a small footprint, not hard to move around and was extremely easy to connect the water lines and install. The washer works OUTSTANDING!! The clothes come out "cleaner" than my LG front loader. The spin cycle extracts at least 80 percent of the water. When you finish washing/rinsing/spinning the clothing is practically dry. I place my clothes outside to dry. Ahhh!! The freshness reminds me of when I was younger and hung the clothes out to dry in the sunshine. I love it. I highly recommend this item. Saves the cost of using a laundromat - hands down!! The clothes do come out cleaner using this washing machine in my opinion.

Along with the other positive reviews, I just got my own first apartment and this works great. I thought it might be jinky and go very slow but the spin cycle is very good. Actually getsyour clothes clean great for small spaces. Very easy to use. I do lift some weights. Nothing crazy and I can lift it off the ground even when it it’s filled with water. It’s definitely not quiet but as long as that’s not a problem, it’s a great washer.

Love this machine. Customer service is wonderful. I had an issue they were quick to address it. It's easy to set up; does a decent size load and the spinner works amazingly. I'm 5ft and have some issues with mobility so I have this set up where I don't have to move it around thankfully my family set it up for me with no issues. They had no issues moving it around. It's semi auto so you do have to do each cycle yourself but once you figure out what works for you it's not hard to do. Does well cleaning the clothes and the spin dries them most of the way. I would recommend getting something for the lint though. I haven't had any issues with the motor or anything. I do have a floating lint catcher. Really good product for the price.

Let me start by sharing I do have laundry hookups in my basement, a good bit of space down there and a floor drain (but no vent to outside and no windows that open down there). I do not live in an apartment, but a very old house. However, due to issues with a basement wall where my stairway is buckling in (I now have braces installed courtesy of foundation repair people) I can not fit more than 21" width of anything down the stairs. I had been going to the laundromat for the last 20 years. I am caring for a disabled husband now and I do not have the time to run back and forth to the laundromat. I also did not want to hassle with finding a way to hook up laundry hoses to my kitchen sink and our sink drain is a problem. My upstairs bathroom is tiny and has no electric outlets. The solution then was a twin tub portable mini washing machine in my basement and a separate spin dryer. I actually like that this takes some manual labor as I have more control over how much water to add, how long to wash and rinse, how much to drain at a time and so on. I have done two loads of laundry so far and have learned a few things. One, just because the capacity of this machine is 18 lbs in the wash tub, that does NOT mean you should put that much in at a time. Heavier clothing items should be washed separately in a small load. I originally planned on a "medium load" that filled a small round laundry basket, but within minutes of starting the wash I could see this was too much, even though only 1/2 the tub was filled with clothes. I had several pairs of heavy pants in there and a few heavier towels along with some shirts, underwear, songs, and a pair of long johns. I removed the towels and pants and turned this into two loads of laundry. It worked far better this way, not tanging my clothes and shaking the machine due to the weight of the laundry. The second problem I encountered was the lint filter in the tub kept popping off, even when I adjusted my load to a smaller load and kept the water level no more than halfway up the tub. The only way I could make it stay in was to wrap two rubber bands around the top and bottom of the lint trap and then insert it back in. This worked beautifully. I don't know if this is a problem with all these machines or just mine but as long as I found a way to keep it in I am ok. Once I figured out those issues everything else went very smoothly. I do not use the inlet hose at all. I bought a small laundry hose for $10 at a hardware store that fits nicely to my universal cold water hookup/faucet and I simply use that hose to fill my tub as needed. I do not hook it to my washing machine, I just hold it and fill the tub. it only takes about one minute to fill 1/2 way. I could have run the drain hose directly to my floor drain, but again that drain can be testy so I have a large laundry bucket on the side of my washing machine to drain water in, and then I later tip that and drain it VERY SLOWLY into my floor drain (residue sinks to the bottom so I can catch some of it that way too so it doesn't go in the drain). Its an extra step but ensures I will not clog a drain with too much water at once. I added a mesh wire lint filter (from a package of five) I bought for $5 at Menards on the end of the drain hose and it catches a lot of lint/hair etc. I did notice a small amount of lint on my clothes from the washing machine and I still have yet to figure out what to add to the lint trap in the washing machine to catch more of that. It wasn't a huge amount but noticeable. The washing machine agitated my clothes very well and created a lot of soap suds. I did try the spinner and it worked decently, no problems at all. I use it as a rinse (added a little water and did a spin cycle in it), and then after draining the wash tub I add more clean water and rinse my clothes again in the washer. My final spin I do in my Panda spin dryer as it is much larger and more powerful than the little spin dryer on the Auertech machine. I hang my clothes upstairs in our spare bedroom on drying racks. So far this system is working very well for me. If I need to wash large blankets, I can hand wash those in my bathtub and throw one at a time in my panda spin dryer. Everything else (aside from coats) I can wash in my Auertech. I don't need a dryer and I hate how those damage clothes anyway. I have always hung at least 3/4 of my clothes dry even at the laundromat. This was a very reasonably priced machine and is powerful for the price. My clothes did come out very clean and fresh, but slightly stiff as I think I used too much soap. Definitely a learning curve with this! I only used a half a capful but now I think I need even less for a small load. The plan is to wash an average of 3 small loads per week between my husband and I (we are frugal with clothes and re wear stuff more than once before washing). Each cycle/load takes about 45 minutes from start to done hanging clothes on a rack after spin drying. This beats a fifteen minute drive to the laundromat, waiting around for loads there about an hour, and hauling it back to the house another fifteen minutes. I don't have to deal with traffic, crowds, finding an open washer and dryer and spending $$$. My takeaway is that this machine works well if you baby it and do smaller loads at a time. I can see that the drain hose is very delicate so I am extra careful with it and I also hang on to it a bit when I am draining the tub. This is another reason for not having it directly on the floor running to the drain. I definitely stay around my units the entire time I am washing and never walk away. But it goes fast as I am always doing something. Overall I am happy with this unit. It fits my needs. It will come in handy during blizzards in the winter as I don't have to leave my house now!

Great washer. Perfect for a RV or small apartment. Highly recommend

Très bon produit.

I love this machine!! I did end up buying a vibration absorbing mat to put under it as to not bother downstairs neighbour (I live in an apt)
