Giantex Full Automatic Washing Machine, 2 in 1 Portable Laundry Washer 1.5Cu.Ft 11lbs Capacity Washer and Spinner Combo 8 Programs 10 Water Levels Energy Saving Top Load Washer for Apartment Dorm

⸻ I’ve been using the Giantex Portable Washing Machine for a while now, and it’s been a surprisingly practical solution for small spaces. The 2-in-1 design is convenient, letting me wash and spin in one compact unit without needing a full-sized machine. It handles everyday laundry loads well, especially small to medium loads, and the wash cycles are easy to set up. The spin function works efficiently, removing a lot of excess water and reducing drying time, which is a big plus. Setup is straightforward, and the machine is lightweight enough to move around if needed. While it’s not ideal for very large loads, it’s perfect for apartments, dorms, or quick washes when a full-size washer isn’t accessible. We are full time RVers and this is a life saver!! Overall, the Giantex Portable Washer delivers solid performance for its size and price. It’s reliable, convenient, and makes doing laundry in small spaces much easier.

I use this in my RV. It’s wonderful! It’s quiet, easy to load and empty, easy to hook up, and it doesn’t take a team of longshoremen to move. My husband carried it inside, and I moved it into place and installed it in minutes. It’s not full-sized, but it’s not tiny, either. Read on… It does a good job cleaning clothes, bed linens, towels, etc. Though it isn’t a full size washer, I’ve hardly noticed. I am able to wash a king size fitted sheet, two pillowcases, and two twin size sheets in one load. It’s is very quiet. The loudest thing about it is the cheerful little song it sings sings when you turn it on and when its cycle is done. My husband had taken to randomly humming its songs! lol I’ve experienced no leaks or problems with the belt, and I’ve done a dozen loads now. I do have two criticisms. First, it doesn’t have a separate dispenser for bleach, vinegar, softener, or the like. There’s one holder for powdered detergent. That’s it! And you cannot open the lid during use or it resets the cycle. So, using bleach is iffy. The powder dispenser will leak straight bleach onto your clothes, and I’m not sure it’s good for the washer to have straight bleach poured into it (plus, then you’d have the bottom of the washer wet with bleach, which might then come into contact with your clothes!). I will probably find a way to disable the automatic shutoff mechanism so I can open the lid to add bleach once the tub fills. Second, the water connectors are plastic, but my supply faucets are metal. A quick internet search told me that a plastic-to-metal connection isn’t ideal. But, after looking for an alternative, I couldn’t find a decent solution, so I connected it anyway, and I’ve not had a leak. So, is this a flaw? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I recommend powdered detergent. Detergent pods don’t fit in the dispenser. And, with powder, you can regulate the amount of detergent you use. Overall, I really-truly love this machine!

I'm living full time in a motorhome solo and I got sick of going to sketchy laundromats. Half the machines aren't working or they leave something weird on your clothes. I've spent a lot of time accumulating quarters in some cases. I don't have this appliance in a 'permanent' setup yet, I just drag it over to a faucet that I put the right adapter on, and let it drain into the bathtub. It doesn't have wheels, but the handholds on the sides are great and if you really want to you could likely pick the whole thing up to move it over a few feet or shuffle it to where you need to go. I am not a huge guy and I usually opt to pick the whole thing up to move it in one go, waddling down the hall. This washer is fairly quiet and does NOT leak water. The air moving out of my AC sounds louder than this appliance. Its not as large as a normal washer so I will generally just put all dirty laundry right in the bucket, and wash when it looks full. I like the size for one person, and I don't want a big appliance taking up space. I usually run the spin dryer cycle 2x because I don't have a dryer. The clothes dry quickly even just hanging in my motorhome with AC running. Nothing is dripping after the spin dry. I often have a lot of fuzz stuck on my clothes and I have to use a lint roller, but that's probably just me. There is a lint collector in the bucket and I have found that it does work decently. Something I will modify in the future is the lid sensor. If you open the lid even a little, the system will shut off and you have to reset the program/cycle. It hasn't been a huge problem because I hardly ever forget to put something in the bucket, but it led to a few 'long sighs' lol. I sometimes have an issue where the tank doesn't drain after a wash cycle. If I run any of the programs though, it will check the water level and drain the water first. So, usually I'll just let it go through another quick wash cycle to rinse that previous water out if its been sitting, then if it doesn't drain again, it will once I select the spin dry program. I looked at these kind of washers and the reviews for many months before deciding to purchase one, and this was my choice. It took me a while to pull the trigger because one aspect of ordering big appliances is that if the item doesn't work for some reason, it can be a huge hassle sending it back for a replacement or return.

best washing then my other will buy again

I have mixed feelings about this washer. On the one hand, when we finally got everything worked through, it washes well. We chose the 1.5 cu. ft size and it is able to handle our queen sheets, which was important. And we're very happy we have it. On the other hand, it took a lot of finagling to get it to work for us, and the top lid is already showing wear. A few key things we had to do: make sure that the clamp attached to the drain hose is actually pressing the grey rubber onto the drain outlet (not squeezing the rubber off of the outlet). Then, you have to figure some way to anchor the drain pipe securely so it doesn't go flying during operation. We used a twist-tie and a hook to secure it to our shower drain when we're using it. And we also had to use teflon tape around the inlet hose to prevent mild leaking. We also purchased a drain pan to go under the washer as a last line of defense in case of a mild leak from the drain outlet. It seems like the connections are as good as you can make them be, they're not perfect out of the box. The instructions were pretty badly written, which makes sense as this is a Chinese company. Giantex customer service has been...fine to deal with. At least they're responsive. Given that this is one of the few 1.5 cu ft washers on the market that fit the space we wanted to put it in, I'm glad we got it. But I wish we knew everything we know now about how to make it work.

The fact that it has both wash and spin in one very compact 2 in 1 package is awesome, compared to the old two-tub unit I had before. It's quiet, fast, and the connections to its hoses are rock solid once you make sure they're connected properly. I am very happy with it and will happily recommend.

The hard plastic drain hose and the hanger of the machine is super difficult and inconvenient to use and handle! Why not just use soft and flexible plastic material? I almost return the machine just because of such a puzzling design!! I have to buy another hose to replace it and solve the problem.

It works wonderfully. Runs quietly. Water supply connector fit perfectly with no leaks. Nothing bad to say about it. Fast shipping. Great seller.
