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

I absolutely loved it! Its light weight easy to carry, compact size, I like the fact its clear so you can see through specially for the water level. Wash: reasonable small load, it cleans properly, its easy to connect the inlet rubber hose/good length, Its very quiet, easy to operate and you stop it anytime. Spin: super fast max 5 min and it does a great job removing the excess water, its quiet if don't overload the bucket. My tips: place the washer in a thick good quality rubber mat it helps with stability and reducing noise, remove the excess water wringing the clothes by hand before placing them in the spinner (it works very well if you don't do that too but it goes faster and quieter if you remove the excess water first), don't overload it it takes max 5 min even less time if you remove the excess prior. I only used it twice (received it 2 days ago) it definitely requires to use it carefully to increase its durability but let's see on that aspect. This will help a lot with daily small laundry and keep mine and my spouse's clothes always clean and fresh. Moving to a place with no W/D I was worried as I really don't like going to Laundromats frequently, I also needed it to be quiet enough so this is a life saver, I really loved it.

6/2/23 - Some stuff i didn't know: (1) it drains by gravity. If you have a really small bathroom and not a lot of room for sturdy tables, you'll have to do some heavy lifting to get the water out. This machine is light weight without water, but when it's full and you have to lift it up to drain, not so much. (2) The power cord is kinda small. (3) only do 1 pair of jeans at a time otherwise the washer won't spin. (4) make sure you don't have "drain" on while refilling. I made this mistake and I see others do too. This is very easy to miss. (5) the drain hose is also small. Probably should do it in the tub but I couldn't because my power outlet is too far away. And some stuff I knew but good to know: (1) you have to manually do a rinse cycle by draining the soap water out and putting clean water in. (2) the "dryer" side is smaller than the wash side. Some extra stuff you may want: a shower head to refill. An extension for the power cord. A really sturdy table to elevate the machine so it can drain. Something breathable like a disposable sock to put at the end of your pipe so chunks don't clog your drain. A bucket might be good also. I would invest in the biggest version of this because there's no way I can do blankets and some other stuff. But this is really small and light if you want that (easy to hide). Used it to do my laundry and works as other people say it does, this is a good product not spectacular. Although the end result is pretty spectacular actually, my clothes is really really clean but the work to get there drops it down to just good for me (requires a lot more out of you than a standard washing/dryer). Build feels fragile especially for carrying water which makes it heavy and I think I cracked the plastic already in the back and the back plate is kinda misaligned now, nothing too major but again I only used it today. The spin or dryer part actually does a decent job but you still will have to hang dry it. You can actually wear the clothes immediately after use if you dont mind slightly damp clothes for like 15+ minutes (I don't, it's bareable). The dryer failed on me in a couple of ways already. Sometimes it violently shakes (not how it normally shakes, the drum seem to be misaligned and it bangs the clear plastic wall) and I have to stop it, shake it a little bit and start it again then it works, and sometimes it spins very slowly some times because there's too much water resistance on the bottom and sometimes it's just over heated i think??? Idk I hope it'll continue to work itself out over and over again in the future as it did today and I hope it will not be a major issue. Also the water from the washer side bleeds to the "dryer" side a lot but I think that's on me and not knowing how it works fully yet. The noise and vibrations is bareable. May need to hold in place if you're drying jeans or something heavy for 6 minutes or it could move "walk" around. The total time it takes to clean is about half a hour, including rinsing and drying but it taken me like 2+ hours to do 3 shirts, 3 jeans, socks, and underwear mostly cause I'm a newbie learning. Its a million times better than a laundromat. This "feels" like it's going to break on me within a week but I see others kept theirs for years so I don't know. I will update if it does break. 9/6/23 - the dryer/spinner stopped working. edit** false alarm i managed to fix it by shaking it. 4/6/24 - Still keeping this in my mind, i still use the machine frequently, and happy to say it's still working and it still feels fragile. The washing side drain is a bit slow might be clogged up and I don't think that's an easy fix. I invested in a cheap manual water pump to take the water out faster. 2/14/25 - This is prob going to be my last positive update until it really does break or if I have problems. I'm pleased to say IT STILL WORKS!!! And it still feels feels like it'll break at any moment. The drain is almost completely useless though. I think it's an easy fix but I'm just so lazy. I have a cheap water pump that works faster anyways. But yea other than that it works like it should. 1/17/26 - I finally got a washer and dryer and I no longer have this. It worked until the end and I'm giving it away to someone. I fixed the drain issue (to fix I had to unscrew the drain in the washer tub, so get a screw driver and something to unclog the shallow drain if you buy this). That's about it, my journey with this product is over and I'm grateful for it. Even if it breaks right now I got my money's worth. I didn't expect it to last longer than a few months. The only reason why I got a washer and dryer (that's like 10x more expensive than this) because I need something to clean my blankets and bulky items. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have upgraded.

I'll be honest, I was very sceptical about a plastic washing machine. But this thing is just awesome! I have had it for 3 months now. I am a single male, and I use it about 2-3 times per week. I have had ZERO problems with it. I pulled it out of the box, put it in the shower surround, filled it with water and washed. There is NO assembly to do. And it is of quite good quality all around. It's not a bunch of cheap plastic that will fall apart in a year. This thing is so cool! You can place this ANYWHERE there is a drain nearby. I live in a small studio apartment. I dont have a typical tub/shower. Just a shower surround. So I just place it in the shower, drop the drain hose onto the floor, fill it with water and wash. Don't think it doesn't wash as well as a full size. It does! It is surprisingly quiet in both wash and spin cycles. Almost silent. So if you live in a multi-unit apartment complex, you dont need to worry about pissing off your neighbors. It's a money saver too! Because in the wash cycle, the motor spins the tub in one direction for a few seconds then stops. It pauses for a few seconds, then spins in the opposite direction for a few seconds. So it use very little energy, whereas a full size washer uses a much bigger motor and it runs continuously for the entire wash cycle. There are 2 seperate motors in the unit. And the motors seem to be of good quality, and quite strong. I'm not worried about them failing after a year or so. Another way it saves money is bc there is no heating element to dry clothes. BIG money saver right there! Instead, it has a seperate compartment which houses a stainless steel basket. The other motor spins the wet clothes so fast that it actually does a fantastic job of almost completely drying the clothes. It spins on a 0-5 minute automatic timer. More than enogh to do the job. (Note: full synthetic items come out almost completely dry. Only slightly damp to the touch. Cotton jeans and towels and the like, come out damp, and require some dry time. Depending on the climate where you live. If you live in a humid area, it may take a half day to dry the heavier cotton items) Another way it saves money is that you really only add NO MORE than a tablespoon of laundry detergent. Seriously, that is PLENTY. This 9.9 lb machine i bought, can do a pair of jeans and a few pairs of underware and socks in one load. Or one full size thick cotton bath towel and a few smaller items per load. I can easily fit full size bed sheets in it, but only top sheet, then bottem sheet in another load. But it handles it just fine. I'm pretty sure the 9.9 lb would handle a queen size. A full size comforter....No way, forget about it. Take that to the laundromat. (I think that one of the 13 lb machines will handle a comfortor though.) It will handle about 5-7 cotton t-shirts per load. There is definetly more "hands on" work with one of these machines as compared to a full size automatic. Bc you do a wash cycle, (about 10-12 minutes) then you have to turn a knob to the "drain" setting, let it drain (takes about 20 seconds), then refill with water, turn knob to wash cycle, (which is really the rinse cycle. I do about 6 minute rinse), then come back and turn knob to drain. Then, move clothes over to the other compartment on the right, set timer to 5 minutes to spin clothes dry. As you are spinning, you can be filling up wash tub for next load. (YES, you can be washing and spinning at the same time bc compartments, settings, timers and motors are seperate systems). I know all that sounds like alot of work, but it really isn't. It's so quick and simple that it's almost fun! I bought some cheap extendable clothes hanging bars, that I put between the hallway walls to hang clothes on. When I'm done washing, I just pick up the unit and place it in the back hallway. The thing is super lightweight, that a 90 yo grandma can easily move it. PROS: -Cheap...$80.33 shipped to the house -Good quality -Very light weight -Can be used in any dwelling where there is no waher/dryer hookups (perfect for apartments, studios, businesses, rv's/camp trailers etc) -Uses almost no electricity. So it can be easily used with very small solar systems like you'd have in rv's etc -uses very little detergent, no more than 1 tblsp per load - Easily portable. So if you move, and the new place doesn't have W/D hookups....no problem - Cleans every bit as good as a full size unit - Very quiet operation in both wash and spin. Great for multi-unit apartment complexes. - Excellent option if your full size breaks down and you cant afford to replace it right away - Much smaller loads save water. Although you do more loads, I still feel like it would use less than a full size would use. - Very user friendly. - Has a lint trap inside washer unit, that easily slides out/in for cleaning. And yes, it actually works surprisingly well. Traps quit a bit of lint. - Solidly made - Perfect for 1-2 people household CONS: - Smaller loads so its more hands on. Bigger size machines wouldn't have this con. If you buy it and it turns out to be too small, exchange it, or give it to someone who needs it. Or donate it to a small business like an animal shelter, hair salon, food bank, charity organization etc. Hope this helped!

If you haven't used a machine like this before, know that you have to run each load twice: wash with detergent, spin the soapy water out, wash with plain water to rinse (I include fabric softener here), and spin the water out. With hanging to dry, it takes me a little less than an hour to do a load. I work from home, so it's easier than running back and forth to the laundry room. Obviously you can only wash small loads and can't do super large or super heavy items in a portable washer. But also the small basket size means more wrinkles and less ability for pet hair to be washed away. If you have a pet who sheds and no dryer available, plan to vacuum your fabrics before washing and after hanging to dry. Fabric softener makes it harder to remove pet hair, but I dislike wearing crunchy clothes. I use powdered detergent and cold or warm water, and I feel like my clothes get almost as clean as in a normal washer. I'm able to wash things like mid-weight sweatshirts, chinos, and twin sheets (one at a time) in this machine. I switched to Turkish cotton bath towels, and they do great. I wouldn't recommend jeans or heavy hoodies - they are too bulky and stress the motor. Some reviewers have said you can only spin half of the wash load - that is incorrect, they are overstuffing the washing side. The amount that fits in the spinner is the amount you should be washing so that the water and agitation can get to all of the fabric. A load for me (5'4", 170 lb) is something like a leggings x1, flannel shirt x1, Tshirts x2, bras x2, undies x4, crew socks x2 pairs, wash cloths x4, hand towel x1. I've had this for almost 2 years. I fill it with a handheld shower nozzle in the washing side rather than using the input valve. Since I use it in my bathtub, I don't need the drainage hose. I actually cut it off because it isn't removable and it got moldy really quickly. It's much too short to be useful for draining into a sink, so the manufacturer really needs to rethink that. I store the machine in the closet on an IKEA boot tray to catch any drips. There is a small lint catcher, but it doesn't work very well and needs improvement. I put a small mesh trap in my tub train with a larger mesh trap over that like a dome (they came in a set from Walmart in the hardware section). The two together seem to do a great job catching lint. I have to clean them several times per load. Definitely don't want all that yuck going down the drain! Another design flaw is that if you overfill the washing side, it runs out directly into the motor and will ruin it (ask me how I know). There needs to be more of a barrier to prevent runoff and/or keep the motor dry. Check the breaker for where you plan to use the machine to make sure you have enough power for all appliances. My bathroom outlet is on a 15 watt breaker that also includes my bedroom outlets, which just power some fans and lamps. Running either the wash or spin side can throw the breaker on occasion. So while it's possible to have both sides of the machine going at the same time, I don't have enough power available. And I can't use my bedroom outlets for the vacuum or anything major while doing laundry. So yeah, this has been a great purchase that has saved me a lot of money over using the laundry room for the apartment complex. I can keep a smaller wardrobe because I wash little loads throughout the week. And putting away a little bit of clean laundry every few days is much easier to manage. For a household with multiple people, heavily-shedding animals, or lots of bulky items, this probably would not work.

⭐ 1/5 This is a wonderful little compact washing machine! It has two tubs — one for washing and a separate spin dryer for wringing out the clothes. The spin cycle works superbly, the clothes come out almost dry. Unfortunately, I have to return mine because it leaks badly from underneath during the wash cycle. That's the only downside, but it's a serious one. I'm processing a return right now and will order a new one — I really hope the replacement won't leak, because otherwise this machine is amazing

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!! 😊

This little machine is one of the best purchases I have invested in this year. It was a complete game changer on how I view laundry as a chore. The money, time and energy I have saved from not having to go to a laundry mat for the majority of my daily laundry is worth every penny I spent on this washer. Does this machine replace a traditional washer in it's entirety? No, at least not this sized machine. That is one of the few downsides is that it is small and easy to overload with one or two items too many, and then it struggles to spin properly. There is also a learning curve on using this machine effectively. Using only a fraction of the laundry detergent, manually rinsing (I use vinegar in the rinse as I air dry everything now, and that really helps soften), and just making the time to be present for each step are all things to adjust to when using this little washer. But let me tell you, my clothes have never been cleaner, brighter or as taken care of as they have been since I started using this washer almost exclusively. There is something about handling each piece as you put it through the washing, spinning, rinsing and final spin that really makes me value my clothes that much more. One of my favorite things about having this mini washer is using it for soaking items easily before washing them. Things like my stained work clothes, my stinky socks, my cleaning cloths and even my hand wash only underwear can have separate loads and all get a soak in their needed cleaner before getting properly washed. OxiClean has become a staple to use as a pre soak on so many items that never got that special attention before. I can now also use bleach on the small amount of white items I own because that is all that fits in a load anyway! Through trial and error, I've found this is my best method for washing. I use my hand held shower head sprayer to fill with warm water, a quarter scoop of OxiClean and 1-1.5 tablespoons of Tide liquid. Load in the clothes, lightly pressing them into the water. Turn on the spin (soft for delicates and thin, not too dirty shirts/shorts/pajamas, normal for heavier fabrics and/or really dirty clothes) and watch the first little spin. If everything is flowing and moving effectively, let it spin for 7-12 minutes. If things aren't moving, take a piece or two out until it is all moving. Doing more smaller loads is better than overloading the machine (you can always reuse water for another load if it's not too dirty). When wash is done, drain and move it all to the spin side for 1-2 minutes, just to get most of the soapy water out for an easier rinse. Rinse out the washer part and fill with cool water and 1/2-3/4 cup of plain white vinegar (I've found you need to use a good amount to get a nice soften when air drying). Add the clothes back in and run 6-9 minutes. Drain, spin for 3-5 minutes (depending on the fabric weight and how much is in the spinner) and dry as you please! Some final notes: I am a petite, 5'2" woman living alone. My clothes are small, mostly light weight fabrics, and I still take my sheets, blankets, big coats and some towels to be washed in larger regular washers and driers. If you are a larger person, a multiple person household or just wear heavier clothes, this may not replace a regular washer for your needs as it has done mine. It may be a great supplementary tool for certain items though, like cleaning cloths, underwear, socks, a small load of whites, etc.

I used this item since many years ago. We got it and it washed and spinned quite well including light clothing, inner clothing, socks, even towels. My mom used it for many years while living in her apt because it was hard for her to go downstairs to the laundry room and up to her room to get things done. Also, she didn’t want to put in coins all the time esp to wash small amounts of clothings. She loved it until finally it stopped working so bought a new one. It was about time to get a new one anyways cuz she used it for a long time. But the new one didn’t have instructions, the opener on the washer cycle was broken and the hose was not draining out the water properly. It was so disappointing. However, the company had amazing after-service. I emailed them and they responded via amazon message and after sending photos of the situation, they sent me a completely new washer that was in great condition and it included the instructions too! There can always be problems with the items we receive no matter what but I think what matters is how the company responds. They were so helpful and continued to follow up with me until I received the new item. I will always continue to use this product, thank you very much!
