Product review (1 stars): Spin dryer stopped working
Purchased this for use in an apartment complex. Our complex has on site laundry, but we would have to walk several buildings over and pay $1.50 for wash and $1.25 for dry. Our lease says no washing machines, but in my opinion this is just a motorized tub..... see its not a violation of the lease when called a different name. I kept the box so that when management would come do an inspection of the apartment unit I could hide it in the box and if management opened the box and discovered it I could argue that they went through my personal belongings... I covered up the markings on the box that said it contained a washing machine.

It did however meet my expectations when I got it. Unit is very quiet and you could get away with using it in a complex that prohibits washing machines in apartment units. I ended up placing it in our tub and would just let the hose sit on the floor of the tub. The draining pump is not strong enough to pump the water out into a toilet once there is already water in the drain hose line. One way around it is the lower the hose and quickly move it up to the toilet, but it tends to result in a wet floor. The filling hose would not fit on our faucet so I used the hand held shower head hose to fill the washing tub.

The trick to get a good cleaning is to fill it all the way up above the lint trap release. The more water the better the rotation of the clothes. I do think it did a great job with washing. The unit seems very reliable as far as the washing compartment goes. However what is not very reliable is the SPIN DRYER. It stopped spinning at high speeds after 4 uses. Contacted the vendor through Amazon and was told to submit a return request.

The spin dryer worked great to extract all the excess water that was in the clothes. NOTE this does not dry the clothes, you could then hang them to air dry or what we did for awhile was take the build up of clothes to the onsite laundry and use one dryer to dry. Since the clothes that came out of the spinner were just damp we could jam pack the dryer and set it to high heat and get away with drying in one load about 2-3 hampers full of laundry. We ended up buying a panda portable dryer.

The Spin motor could not be located online and the unit does have an access panel but the compartment to work in is very small and everything is glued in place. I don't think it could be manually repaired without a great deal of work and I do like to tinker with things.

As for the lint trap it don't think it works and really don't think you need to even worry about lint. The unit will drain by gravity even if the drain pump stopped working due to lint.
