Pyle Portable 2-in-1 Washing Machine&Spin-Dryer-Convenient Top-Loading Easy Access,Energy&Water Efficient Design,Ideal for Smaller Loads-No Special Parts or Plumbing Required-2 FT Drainage Hose

This baby has changed my life! I set it up like the photo in my small city apt. bathroom and got a rinseroo (5 ft. Size is fine!) to attach it to my bathroom sink so its super easy to fill-definitely recommend getting that to fill it bc the one it comes with just plain does not work! Putting it higher than the tub (an 18-gallon storage container works great in a pinch for a surface to put it on!) helps when draining so the machine doesn’t sit in water directly in the tub. Works well for one flat sheet and 2 pillowcases in a load or 2 towels for one load; otherwise it overfills a bit. Jeans work just fine in there although you should put probs only 1 or two more items with heavier items like jeans. Otherwise I fit 3 scrubs tops, 2 scrubs bottoms, 3 sport bar work tank tops, one pair of work leggings, and 5 pairs of underwear and socks in one load! The convenience brings a tear to my eye! Usually a simple task like that was so much preplanning, only to get to the few washers in the basement of my large apt complex and they’re completely full. Like, no. Those days are over. So happy with the quality of life improvement this cheerful little workhorse has brought me! And one last thing! I fill water about halfway, throw in clothes, add regular detergent, wash, drain, spin items for 1-2 mins to get soap off (spinner is smaller so have to do a few spin loads but nbd); refill drum with water and either fabric softener or fabric rinse and the spun clothes, do that as the rinse cycle, drain and then spin the items for 3-4 mins (honestly prob won’t need more than that), and hang them up on a dollar store laundry rack in my living room overnight. If you don’t have a dryer available, I recommend the fabric rinse in the rinse cycle highly bc your air dry towels will stay super fresh and not musty! Anyhoo I recommend this washer highly as it adds major convenience to small living space/busy life, gets items fresh and clean, honestly probably uses less water than regular washers, and makes you feel like you’ve got some stability in your life! 😂 hahaha true story!

So this washer was doing great while it lasted, and it lasted only for 2.5 months!I purchased this in mid-January 2022 and was in moderate use (about 2-3 cycles per week) for about 2 months. It was small, compact, easy to use and easy to store away. It didn't require any special installation or plumbing. I live in a mid-rise apartment building and it saved me multiple trips up/down to the basement laundry rooms. Bought it for about USD 170 including taxes. I figured that since I am spending about $7 every 2 weeks for coin-operated laundry, if this machine lasts me 1 year, I would have recovered my cost then. Due to the cost and cheap constructions, I was not expecting this to last 5 or 10 years. I was being realistic.In early April, the motor died and stopped working, after only 2.5 months. I thought that this was too soon, even for a cheap brand! I contacted Pyle USA for repair service (under 1 year warranty) and they are understanding and supportive. (No more return/money back though since it was purchased for over 30 days). However, they will not cover the cost of shipping to and from them. Shipping to Pyle's Brooklyn office for repair costs USD 70 from the East Coast and probably another USD 70 to ship it back to me. So at USD 140 cost of shipping, it's almost the price you paid for the equipment. You will have to decide whether it's worth repairing or whether just to buy another product or just write it off.I should have listened to my gut feeling when I first got this product and returned the item to Amazon within the 30-day free return period. I've had doubts about the quality and was feeling that this will not last that long. Save your money and buy something else.

The media could not be loaded. Seriously, this is the washer/dryer for me... for anyone who lives alone or in a apartment with no washer/dryer, who has the ability to hang dry after using the spin-dry cycle.First off, the washer/spin dryer is super light, much much lighter than the usual washer/dryers you can get at a store.Of course you don't get the capacity you would have with a big store bought washer/dryer. Thats the one downfall.However! I am able to wash 2-3 large work shirts and 3 pairs of underwear in one load. I always put it to the max, 15 mins for wash cycle, then you drain, and do a rinse cycle. Total of about 30 mins. Not bad if you are home with not much else to do on the weekends.Make sure to only use a SMALL amount of detergent, table spoon or teaspoon size or you will get an overflow of suds and have to do multiple rinse cycles.The spin cycle is a bit smaller, so I can dry about 2 large shirts and 2 underwear at a time. Or 2 bath towels. The spin cycle takes about 5 mins to run at max, I sometimes turn it for longer to get all the water out most I can.Don't forget to even out the weight of the items in the spin-dryer as it can damage it, not spinning correctly.Also! If you forget to stop the water from filling up the washer side, don't worry! It has drainage right near the top if you do forget. I've done that multiple times.Seriously worth the investment, it is a bit loud using the spin-cycle, but it gets the job done, and energy efficient compared to a conventional washer/dryer.The issue I have with this is, if you wash a bath towel and a shirt, or socks and pants together and dry them together, you will get little fuzz all over the shirt/pants... as its not a traditional dryer... so you'll have to do them separately. Or spend a long time taking off the fuzzies.
