ZenStyle Portable Washer Compact Twin Tub 9.9 LB Mini Top Load Washing Machine Washer/Spinner w/ 6.57 FT Inlet Hose

Update: Over one year later, this machine is still going strong for me! I absolutely LOVE this machine! Everything you need to know is in this YT video by this young lady https://youtu.be/upZ8DnxcHtw From my own experience, I’ll write my review in two parts: ZENSTYLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - Super happy with them! My machine arrived and I excitedly tested it out. The washer side worked really well and I like the simplicity of the dials. My clothing came out squeaky clean and in great condition. The spinner side, however, did not work; nothing happened when I set the dial timer to spin; so I contacted ZenStyle’s customer service via Amazon messaging. A ZenStyle agent replied in a very timely manner, asked if I would like to work with them to check/repair the issue, or send for an exchange (or refund). I CHOSE to work with them because I wanted to learn simple repairs; it is, after all, only a $100 machine so I may need to do little fixes in the future. After communicating with the agent and exchanging a few videos, the spinner side still did not work; so the agent quickly arranged a new replacement machine be sent out. The 2nd machine worked flawlessly! EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. The company stood behind their product of my new purchase ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WHY I LOVE MY MACHINE - (a) I have a lot of delicate clothing such as dresses, knits, and thinner tops which our building’s washers and dryers are too rough on; and I got tired of washing them by hand so I’m always behind on laundry. It was important to me that this machine is gentle yet cleanses thoroughly. It met those requirements! (B) To avoid color bleed, I like washing similar color in cold water. This machine makes that possible to do whenever I want in small loads. Otherwise, I have to wait for a large collection of like-color clothing or wash only a few items in our building’s giant machine which is inconvenient, a waste of time and money, and environmentally unfriendly. (C) It is very quiet making it possible to wash in the middle of the night and not disturb neighbors. (D) My clothing are not soiled or very dirty. They’re just from a few times of regular wear and I want to wash out city dust and sweat. I find I can do a 5 or 10-minute wash with very little detergent, spin dry for 30 seconds to remove access soapy water, followed by a few more 5 or 10-minute pure water rinses and it’s done! (E) The spinner side works like an automated super speed salad spinner. The spin dial allows for long lengths of spin time but I found I only need about 30 seconds to spin dry an entire sweater dress; it comes out 75% dry, no dripping water at all; then I hang it up to fully dry. Tips, like other helpful reviewers mentioned: - I placed my machine on anti-vibration legs, and placed them into our bathtub https://www.amazon.com/Vibration-Washing-Machine-Cancelling-Universal/dp/B08ZSPJBNH - Don’t overload - Use very little detergent. -I fill up the washer using a bucket or handheld shower head. It’s quick. - It’s great to do a few washes throughout the day whenever you feel like it; don’t burn it out with non stop “laundry day” use - Just like full size washer and dryers, place delicates in a mesh laundry bag - Make sure to push the white plastic protector down on your clothing before "spin drying" otherwise it will throw the clothing from side to side in the drum causing a ruckus. - The instruction manually is lacking. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and reviews before using it; the proper steps are: 1. Put clothing into Washer side, switch dial to Wash, add water and little bit of detergent, turn timer dial to maybe 10 or 15 minutes 2. When washing stops, switch dial to Drain to release dirty water 3. Switch dial back to Wash, add water, turn timer dial to 10 minutes Repeat steps 2-3 a few times until no suds appear in washes. HAPPY WASHING!! 😊

To Preface: Amazon would only let me upload one video, so the video is just of the washing process. It does have a spin dry compartment and timer, too. Both work great!! I bought this machine for my partner because she lives in an apartment complex. Their laundry room for the complex is far away from her unit and very expensive. Because of this, she started handwashing her clothes in the tub and hang drying them. It would take her hours and add to her stress after a long day of teaching. So, I bought this in hopes that it could save her a lot of time and money. This machine is actually much bigger than I expected. Also, the spin compartment dries the clothes REALLY well, especially if you wring them out before putting in the spin cycle. Essentially, you can use this as a two compartment washer and as a one compartment spin dry. This machine literally works as a real washer - it spins and agitates for cleaning, which does a great job at washing. The washing is cycle is very quiet and efficient. The spin dry can be a little noisy and the machine may start to rock a bit. Just be sure not to overfill it and don’t have it running while you’re gone. The washer, however, I would definitely trust to use while run a short errand. Overall, it’s worth every penny and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone, regardless of their purpose and use for it. Side Note: We don’t use the inlet hose, we just use a pitcher to poor water in. Once we are done, we carry it to the shower tub, lay down the outlet hose and drain. Works like a charm!

I live alone and purchased this washer to do my small loads (of which I have many), in addition to my very large new washer, which is just huge, I have to use tongs to get the clothes out of the bottom of the LG washer as it is so very deep. This little unit, gets things so clean and saves me a lot of money on detergent, water, additives, and I assume electricity. I use it in my laundry room next to my laundry sink. I love it for keeping up on all my small loads. I can still wash my large loads like towels, sheets, slip-covers, rugs and dog beds, in my large washer and during that same time period, run two seperate small loads of my delicates and everyday clothes I wear, in this one. I know it will pay for itself in no time at all. It only takes 1.5 oz of liquid detergent (I use a small amount of the he "free and gentle" liquid white tide), rather than using one or two of the expensive pods that I use in my large set. "Free and gentle" Tide is not cheap, so needing to use less is a big plus. I am amazed at how dirty the water gets, (ck out the picture) which tells me it is really getting my clothes clean. You can see thru it so you can tell how much it agitates. The wringer also works extremely well, I swear it is like the clothes have dry spots already when they come out. You can completely control how long the agitate cycle is as well as the spin cycle. When I went to wash my cleaning rags, I washed them for additional time and more than once changing the water in between til the water draining out was not so dirty, then I spun them, rinsed them and spun them before putting them in my regular dryer. Never having to wash them with my other whites, which I didn't like doing. I also think it will allow my expensive new LG Washer and Dryer to last me much longer. It is lightweight and compact. I plan to take this on vacation with me to a beach house I love to rent, that only has a coin laundry room in the complex. None of the units have washers or dryers. I hate getting coins, and setting in the hot laundry mat while the machines run, if I can even get one, as there are always several broken ones and they are usually busy. I also don't think those coin machines do a good job, and you just never know what the last person washed in them. Another plus, I wouldn't have to pack as many clothes, as I could wash them more frequently and spend more of my time enjoying my vacation.
