LEISURE DIRECT230V MINI 3KG CAPACITY PORTABLE WASHING MACHINE FOR STUDENTS + SPIN DRY FUNCTION

I bought this to tie me over while my washing machine is fixed. It has had a lot of use as my main machine is taking a while to repair and we are a family of four.It is very sturdy, simple to use and washes well.The spinner is less effective, but still gets out a reasonable amount of water. I use it instead of wringing out clothes, as this hurts the joints on my thumbs. I then use a separate manual spinner to finish.

Bought this to replace a mini twin tub I purchased twelve years ago for use in my caravan.This washing machine proved to be very good and easy to use when tested.It gave a good wash and was not too noisy, however the spin was not a patch on my old one.I am still happy with it because it has a good wash capacity but is overall smaller and will be easier to store.I hope it lasts twelve years!

This is easy to use and unlike a previous one I had it gives up to 15 minutes of wash time and the same for spin drying. Good for small amount of washing.

What is the point of washing machine if the spin function is completely useless?! It takes way too much time i mean hours and hours to complete spin on your clothes

My purchase of this item is due to living in a small cottage with no plumbing for a full size washing machine.This machine was straight forward to operate just a bit more logistically longer to achieve a wash.I had to fill the washer after adding clothes and I had over estimated so had to take some out.The wash itself was vigorous and was effective you can do how many minutes you wanted up to 15.The clothes I washed were not particularly soiled so I washed for 15 mins.You then empty the water through a handy little hose so you’ll need to be by a sink or bathtub/shower to drain. You can then fill back up with water and put on wash again to rinse.It is laborious because after draining once more the water you have to take the wet clothes out to place in a spin basket back in to the machine…do not overload this,it will spin to a fashion and take most of the wetness off but not all.This took some time as I had several small loads to spin.I was fortunate to be able to hang these straight out on to the line to dry but could be tricky to dry inside as they are still so wet.I would recommend this washer as a good light wash and less bulky items although I washed 2 pair of jeans the following time and I got in to the groove of the washer and it didn’t seem to take as long.The only disadvantage is the outlet hose is short so you really need to be close to be able to drain.

As long as you don't over load it, it washes well but the spinner is no good. I only needed a washing machine for my caravan.

The media could not be loaded. This machine works really well for the price. But dont expect anything good from the spinner it doesnt do anything.

Bought for elderly mum who dies most washing by hand but broken her arm. Surprisingly spacious & can do more washing that I expected. Easy to use, open, chuck in washing, pour in hit warm (straight from tap) and add washing powder or liquid. I bought a watering can for mum to use to make it easy to fill & she can't lift a lot but filled machine with two trips if her can (I could have done in one go as can lift more). Did 15 min wash, then emptied. Did 10 min rinse twice...all done. Great wash & she can do with one hand. Now, she has her own proper spin drier, so used that. The spin facility is small & couldn't do whole wash in one go, so I'd that function important, then not sure this good enough. Perfect for an immediate need & well worth the money. We reckon you can do double sheet & pillow cases easy or couple of bath towels plus some undies, but not to be able to spin them.
