Portable Washing Machine Small Mini Hand Compact Semi Automatic Washer Laundry Perfect for Home Apartment Dorm RV Camping Travel Trip Outdoor Indoor for 6.5Lbs Washing Capacity

Day 1: worked well. I don’t really have any complaints. I wish the motor was a little bit stronger to do a heavier load. I also wish the timer went longer. I filled up a big Rubbermaid tub and put an immersible heater in there along with a laundry pod. I ended up getting the temperature to 135° then I shut it off. I washed two pair of scrubs, underwear, socks, one pair of jeans, and one sheet. I ended up taking the jeans and the sheet out, and after the other clothes were done, I removed them and washed the jeans and then the sheet in the same hot sudsy water. The electrical cord is only about 3 feet so I’ll probably get an extension cord.

This is a great piece of equipment for doing laundry in campers, RVs, or dorm rooms. It is really easy to use, gets small loads of laundry clean and fresh, which is great if you've been fishing all day. We've had good success using the machine with a 5 gal. bucket filled almost to the top with fresh water and 2 laundry pods for a 10-minute wash cycle. Then, replace the soapy water with fresh, clean water, and do another 5 or 10-minute rinse cycle. If your clothes are really dirty, you can do a third 5-minute rinse cycle. Our 5 gal. bucket has raised rings around the top edge, so the machine's back clamps won't secure it to the bucket. We fixed this problem by clipping two large binder clips on either side of the machine and securing it to the bucket by tying a small bungee cord around the machine's handle and hooking the other end to the opposite side of the bucket. You can find short bungee cords here on Amazon or at Home Depot.

Ok. I have only had this for a month and I like it. 1. It works. It does its job adequately. I think the discolored water in the bucket is fabric dye, not dirt, so I would not say it cleans better than a washing machine, but it does properly agitate the water and the clothes do spin around. It is far superior to manual meditation, which I had been doing before I bought this agitator. 2. It was difficult to find the right container for it. I started with a 5 gal. paint bucket, but the clamp did not close properly due to the ridges on the bucket, so the agitator was not secure and safe. Then tried a 10 gal. stock pot. It was too big and heavy when filled. I finally settled on a 20 qt. beverage dispenser with a spigot to drain the water out. That works almost perfectly, and does the trick. 3. I use it in my shower along with a Panda spinner, which really gets the water out. Then my clothes dry in a couple of hours on hangers hanging on the shower rod. As the weather cools, drying time increases. 4. I have found that in the evening after changing out of my work clothes, I agitate the clothes for 15 min and then soak them overnight. Then I drain,rinse, and agitate again in the morning. Then I spin and hang. Then I agitate and soak my night clothes in the morning so they are ready to rinse spin and hang when I get home from work. Sheets and towels get washed weekly. This way I pretty much never have dirty laundry. 5. The agitator is loud, but not so loud it bothers me with the door shut. 4. When not in use, I hang the agitator from S hooks on a wall mounted TP holder which I mounted in the shower with the motor above shower head level do it does not get wet. The cord hangs down, but does not touch the shower floor. 5. The only thing I don't like about it is the bright color. If it was white, it would blend in with the shower better. 6. I wish the manufacturer would make the perfect 20 qt. bucket with a basket insert and a spigot. My beverage container is almost perfect, but the clamp that holds the agitator securely lifts off with the agitator unless I hold it in place because there is no lip on the edge of the beverage container. The perfect bucket would have a strategically placed ridge to hold th clamp in place and a basket insert that would lift the clothes out to quickly drain the water. 7. No laundromat for me anymore! This system saves me time and money and the aggravation of the laundromat. Don't even get me started on how unpleasant it is to spend even 5 minutes in a laundromat! 8. Only time will tell how long it lasts, but at this point I am satisfied well enough to write a positive review.

Works wonderful

Update: Today is 10/15/2019. I’ve washed 4-5, six gallon buckets of clothes/week since I received the Kofohon Portable Washing Machine. The instructions say to not let the Kofohon motor run for more than 15 minutes. That’s no problem for me, I’ve been handwashing clothes with the routine of: agitate for 5 minutes, soak for 5 minutes, agitate for 5 minutes, wring, rinse, wringer, rinse, wringer and hang to dry. My Kofohon never runs for more than 5” at a time. It usually gets more than 30” rest between final rinse and next wash. That’s only 10” total run time/hr. Unfortunately, it smells like the motor is burning out after 2 wash buckets. I’ll contact Kofohon and report back. At nearly $100 for the machine, I saved no money on laundry these past 11 weeks. Very disappointed. Received 8/1/2019 and I’ve washed three 6 gallon buckets of laundry already today using this amazing machine. My clothes and linens came out cleaner than the laundromat washers! It’s perfect for anyone with space or lease issues that prevent installing a washer. It also saves your back and gas from hauling baskets of clothes to the laundromat every week, not mention no more shoving rolls of quarters into machines. I’ll recoup the cost in two months. I set it up in my kitchen sink (double sink), but you could use your tub/shower if you prefer. If you limit the detergent to 1 Tbsp/6 gallon bucket and hand wring out your fabric items really well after washing, you can rinse twice -wring out really well between rinses- and you’ll be amazed how clean your clothes are. I line dry, too -there’s nothing better than line dried laundry. The motor is quite powerful. It was able to wash a pair of jeans, shirt and underwear in that 6 gal bucket quite easily. If I’d had a taller bucket holding more water, I’ve no doubt it could cope with a full size sheet or couple of towels. It could use more robust and adjustable clamps so that it doesn’t move when in operation. I wedged a rolled up washcloth under each hook to minimize movement. I am so glad I found this.

Can't use this in my apartment. It's so loud.

Estoy probando la mini lavadora kofohon, lo mas importante es la cubeta que deve ser 12" pulgadas de alto por 13" pulgadas de ancho en el diametro la otra medida que dice el fabricante kofohon de la cubeta es 15" pulgadas de alto por 15" pulgadas de ancho en el diametro, para que la ropa tenga un movimiento rapido, si no se mueve o tiene dificultad al hacerlo retire ropa, el movimiento tiene que ser rapido. Puede utilizar la cubeta de 5 galones que se usa en pinturas y tiene que eliminar los bordes que sobresalen para que los rodillos de cierre no queden forzados o dañados por ejercer presion, estas cubetas de pinturas son muy angostas 11" pulgadas y media de ancho en el diametro, solo poca ropa entra. y cuando eche pantalon largo tiene que ser solo uno y no echar mas ropa, si no lo hace asi el pantalon largo causa el efecto de anudarse con otra ropa y esta dejara de moverse en la cubeta y la mini lavadora calentarse, dañarse o tal vez la ropa al no moverse y ser friccionada en el mismo lugar dañarse. El fabricante de kofohon recomienda las cubetas cilindricas , redondas para crear el torbellino fuerte de agua de limpieza.

Wash clothes really good. Powerful if you find the right bucket to use. The only disadvantage is you need to keep and eye on it because vibration will make it move.

Excellent product, I have used this for 3 years consistently and have ran issue free using this as my primary means of washing clothing in my tiny home. Highly suggest trying this.

It has worked excellently, has good power and is super easy to use.

After receiving the product and using it multiple time I am very pleased with it. The washer works better than expected. I put it away for the winter and upon using it for the first time the next spring it didn't work. After contacting the seller they replaced it immediately. Thank you!!!

What an amazing washer! Powerful and easy to assemble. In terms of noise, it reminds me of a vacuum cleaner with the whirring / humming. Photo of it beside a Costco sized 7.5 L liquid detergent.

Experimented with different size buckets and storage totes and was even able to wash my comforter in a large plastic storage bin. I used a bungee cord to hold it into place because it will lean to one side and then splash water all over the place. The downside is you have to wring the clothes out by hand but for me it beats having to schlep my clothes to the laundromat and pay $8 a load.
