Auertech Portable Washing Machine Twin Tub

This may seem like something you’d give a kid to teach them how to do laundry, but don’t be fooled by it’s simple construction. It holds a surprising amount of laundry and has a deep top loading drum.

The first time I washed my work clothes in it the drain water came out black from all the dirt it removed. Smart washers just do not use enough water to truly clean your clothes, this does. My work shirts looked nearly new and were so clean you could actually smell the fabric. I didn’t know that was possible after years of wear and tear but apparently it is.

The only 2 cons I can find with it is the pump is a little weak so sometimes I have to lower the drain tube to start the flow; and the intake tube is short and only uses a car-hose style clamp to hold the tube to your faucet. This leaks pretty badly if there is too much pressure so it’s best to go ahead and buy a Xuesnof portable washing machine hose,

It is longer, fits most sink faucets, has a quick disconnect and doesn’t leak. It fits my machine well, you just have to support it a little where it attaches to the washer.

Definitely a ten out of ten purchase, worth every penny

 I live in an apartment right now. I am about to move into a small camper. So I cannot utilize a full size washer or dryer. This is the second portable washer I have purchased from Amazon. The first one was a little bit smaller than this, and felt even cheaper. This machine is made mostly from plastic. I included lots of pics to try and demonstrate the unit. You can see in one of the pictures because of the poor way they have set it up to hold the water inlet hose onto your faucet, I had to rig a system with zip ties. And this one was better than the last one lol. The last one was literally just a plastic cone that was supposed to somehow magically fit and stay on everyone’s faucet? LOL these look more like toys for children than actual machines for grown ups. But it’s better than hand washing for sure! Some of them come with lint catchers, like this one. But as you can see in the picture of those black socks, it does almost nothing. So I have implemented a fabric and installed it in the lint catcher, and it actually catches some lint now. But be warned, if you’re going to be draining this into your home plumbing, you will want to keep an eye on the land. You don’t want your drains filling up with that mess and getting clogged! The union is fairly easy to maneuver by itself. It doesn’t weigh that much. I have it sitting on top of my cooler to make it easier to access. What I find I have to do is wash the clothes once and detergent, then rinse them three or four times to keep getting them clean. I just go by how the water looks. About four washes and they are good for me. Then you put some of them in the little spinner, turn it to 5 minutes and let her bump. The clothes come out almost dry, just a little damp. Hang them up and a few hours later they’re good to go. As you can see from one of the pictures, the entire thing is wrapped in a clear vinyl. I really really wish the manufacturers would not have done it that way. They wrapped it and then finished assembling the outside pieces, so you would literally have to disassemble this thing to get all the plastic wrap off. That’s just poor design and execution only manufacturer’s part. Also, you can look at all the ones on Amazon like I have, and see that most of them are going to be extraordinarily lacking in the area of attaching the water inlet hose to your faucet. But at least this one has a lint catcher, that I can get to work okay for my situation. another reason I bought this one is because it’s the biggest one I could find. I’m a single middle-aged male, and I dress very simply. I wear the same clothes every week for work. They do not get that dirty. So for me this gets them clean as I need and I don’t have to go and spend all that extra money like I was doing at the laundromat. So it still takes some time and elbow grease utilizing this machine, but at least I’m able to do it in the comfort of my home. Oh yeah another thing, the small round plastic piece that is intended to go on top of the clothes while they are in the spinner is essentially useless I have found. It’s not like the clothes are flying out the top, especially since there is a cover on top of it. At least this one fits inside the spinner though lol. The first one I bought that little plastic piece would not even fit inside there to go on top of the clothes so it was 100% worthless. Either way, I do not use this on top of the clothes and the spinner and have no issues. When you use this for the first time and drain it you will think it’s done because no water will come out for a good 15 to 20 seconds, but just wait there’s more. It’ll give one last hoorah and a lot more will drain out. When you are done with it and if you have to move it to storage, pay attention because there will be some water left in the drain hose I assure you of that. What I do when I’m done is pick the unit up and set it on the sink, so that it will drain out. Now some of them do not have a drain engine, so they will be 100% gravity fed. This one is like a full size unit though. You turn the knob to drain and a motor engages and pushes the water out. That is a big selling point for me. Otherwise draining it would be even more tedious as you would have to have this units up and then have the drain hose in a lower position for gravity to remove the water. As you can see on that one picture, I have the drain hose put through the top of a bottle that is full of water so that it holds it in the sink. Anyway I know this is a long review, I just want people to know the details. Amazon is amazing for offering us many many products, but as we all know, many of the products are not worth a crap. This one is okay. I will recommend it, hope this review helps.
