Review on πŸ”„ Garatic Portable Compact Mini Twin Tub Washing Machine - 13lbs Capacity for Camping, Apartments, Dorms, College Rooms, RV's, Delicates & More - Wash & Spin Cycle, Built-in Gravity Drain by Tom Plowman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you don't have much space, this car is perfect.

UPDATE: I connected the machine to the standard plumbing and sewer system in my home. It took a bit of work and time at Lowe's, but everything is working great now. You have to turn the water on/off when the default washer is set to hot/cold etc but it fills up quickly so not really a problem. In general, we are glad that he is in our apartment. 3.5 stars. The size is big, the machine works very well. Reasons for not awarding 5 stars: There is no way to simply attach a longer drain hose - the hose is glued on the inside behind the back wall. The hose is really too short. The machine is quite wobbly during use I think due to the fact that all the water and weight is on the left side during use. I've only tried this out on my kitchen table with towels underneath to see how things work and will definitely be looking for a more solid stand. You have to rinse several times to wash off all the soap. If you get one of these, use very, very little soap! I used maybe a teaspoon and some stain remover and it was too much. The box was quite damaged but so far I can't say that the car was damaged. There really should be more protective packaging. However, it arrived fully assembled, I just had to put it on the table. I didn't attach a water supply hose for this test, I just poured water, but the hose was included. In general, I'm glad I have it in my apartment and I will definitely use it. Washes and spins very well. It has enough power to tangle all the threads on your clothes, so be prepared. The clothes feel surprisingly dry when you take them out of the spin dryer.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Minor problems
