This thing is OUTSTANDING for what it is. - I've now had this machine for about a month and a half. I know it looks like it should come with an EZ-Bake oven, but this is no toy. I'm utterly serious when I say that the washer does a much better job of getting clothes clean than a "regular" North American type washer/dryer set. The water literally whips the clothes around in the tub (you have to see it to believe it) and my stuff has never been cleaner. My apartment doesn't have hookups and the laundry room is in the basement 10 floors down with ancient Speed Queen machines that are as old as I am--and $5.00 to wash/dry clothes was getting ridiculous, so I got this. First, I really thought my wife and I required as large of a machine as possible. The fact is this 26lb model could VERY EASILY accommodate a family of four. If you want to save some money, the 17lb model would likely be far more than you need for two people. I got this model because it had a drain pump. Put it on a small dolly that we just wheel into the kitchen on wash day, and put the drain hose into the sink--much better than the gravity-drain models. ONE ITEM THAT IS A MUST: The hoses that come with this are meant I think for asian homes where the faucets are much smaller than ours. I bought something called a "RINSEROO", available on desertcart, which is a faucet adapter that fits ANY faucet and the hoses of which fit the machine perfectly for filling the unit. I can't overstate the fact that I "overbought" with this machine. While the dimensions suggest otherwise (it is very compact) it holds a LOT of laundry. Multiple towels (heavy bath sheet types), jeans, etc etc. The downside to all this capacity is that it takes about 10 minutes to fill the wash tub with our rather low-flow kitchen sink, and the next size down would shorten that time. With all that said, picture two 50-somethings watching this thing agitate their clothes in a whirlpool of sheer power! LOL. It really is astonishing that something this inexpensive does a BETTER JOB than a regular washer. It is, however, more labor intensive, and you have to watch it while it fills (no auto-shutoff, YOU are the water level sensor). We turn on the water, and set the kitchen timer for 10 minutes to avoid a flood. It's worth the time, because everything for us fits in one load with room to spare. Also: The spinner is NOT A DRYER!!!!!!! It simply gets the excess water out and does NOT dry--PEOPLE: READ ABOUT THESE MACHINES. I'm tired of people complaining that it isn't a heated dryer. With that said, clothing comes out of the spinner DAMP. You literally cannot wring any water out of them, and we hang dry for a couple hours which works just fine and likely saves a TON of electricity. We are ASTOUNDED at how well this works, especially the agitation and how clean everything comes out. It's hard to believe the cost when compared to standard machines, and yet get this result. If you can't have a "normal" washer/dryer set, THIS IS A GOD SEND, works far better than advertised, and it is one of those things that is just so simple, it's a thing of beauty. Have I mentioned the agitation? LOL. No other standard washer even comes close to moving this much water around, thus things are just so much cleaner. After the detergent wash cycle which is up to 15 mins, we transfer the stuff into the spinner, and hook up the hose to the spin side of the machine, which rinses the soap out while it spins. We then fill the tub back up for a thorough rinse, but I suspect the "spin rinse" would actually have an acceptable result if you're short on time. In closing, if you don't have laundry hookups in your abode, this is exactly (more than) what you need! FIVE STARS. We are totally impressed and satisfied. Just know WHAT IT IS, and do yourself a favor and watch a couple you tube videos, and you'll be equally impressed, guaranteed. PS- The instruction manual is absolutely hilarious, with extremely poorly translated Chinese to English. It's almost worth the purchase just to see how bad the instructions are, LOL. You'd think a company this large could hire a proper translator--but at least it's cheap entertainment that's included with your purchase! Review: Small, yet it β€œWORKS GREAT!” - The Giantex washer works very well, and does a really nice job! Our washer quit, and we could not get a replacement right away. We found this small washer right away & it works great! It has 2 sides. On one side, you put clothes in, and fill it up with water. Then, you add water, a little detergent, and turn dial to start the wash. After the wash cycle you drain the water and move the clothes to the spinner side and spin to remove the water from the clothes. To rinse put the clothes back in the washer,and fill with fresh water, run again, and then spin again. If you still have a dryer, you can dry your clothes in there. If you do not have a dryer, you can hang your clothes up til they dry. We do recommend, not using, too much laundry detergent. We were in a tight situation, for having to wait so long for our new washer, to go in our laundry room. We were really glad to have this washer, until we got our new one. Be sure to read the directions to this washer, before you use it, and when you use it. The directions, really help! We are keeping this small washer, to use if needed again anytime! ## Features - [2-in-1 Design for Convenience]: Our practical washing machine comes with two tubs, which means you can make different settings for washing and spinning. Besides, the washing and dehydration function can be used simultaneously, providing much convenience for your daily use. This 2-in-1 machine saves space and money for an extra dehydrator. - [Separate Timer & 3 Selection Modes]: 15 minutes washing time and 5 minutes spinning time can be freely set based on your laundry types. In addition, there are 3 modes for your selection. Gentle and normal are for washing. After washing, you can select drain mode to drain out water inside wash tub. For example, gentle mode takes 3-5 minutes to wash silk or floss clothing. - [Enough Capacity & Easy Operation]: Designed with 18lbs capacity for washing and 8lbs capacity for drying, our washing machine facilitates convenient laundry for household use. It can accommodate your shirts, sweaters, underwear and so on. This washing machine allows you to simply put in your clothes, inlet water, set the timer, and then start washing. - [Powerful Dual Motor]: Equipped with 280W washing power and 140W spinning power, the washing machine meets the performance requirements for powerful use and helps you save time as well. A powerful turbine offers high-efficient swirl washing to your clothes while the high-speed spin can spin dry the clothes quickly. - [Built-in Drain Pump & Wide Application]: With built-in drain pump, the drain hose can easily drain the water and keep your floor clean. With the size of 26.5” x 16.5” x 31.5”, it is suitable for limited spaces like dormitories, RVs, apartments, etc. Besides, featuring a clear washer lid, you can view the process of clothes and water level at any time while using the washing machine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B097KDDGC7 | | Access Location | Top Load | | Additional Features | Semi-automatic | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,324 in Appliances ( See Top 100 in Appliances ) #321 in Portable Clothes Washing Machines | | Brand | Giantex | | Brand Name | Giantex | | Capacity | 26 Pounds | | Color | White+Blue | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 631 Reviews | | Cycle Options | Drain, Spin | | Depth With Door Open Maximum | 16.5 Inches | | Finish Type | Painted (White+Blue) | | Finish Types | Painted (White+Blue) | | Human Interface Input | Dial | | Included Components | Drain Hose | | Installation Type | Freestanding | | Item Depth | 16.5 inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 16.5"D x 26.5"W x 31.5"H | | Item Type Name | Washing Machine | | Item Weight | 34 Pounds | | Laundry Appliance Drum Material | Stainless Steel | | Manufacturer | Giantex | | Manufacturer Part Number | 10021US-BL-FP | | Material Type | ABS, Polypropylene | | Model Name | Full-Automatic Washing Machine Portable Compact | | Model Number | 10021US-BL-FP | | Number of Programs | 1 | | Number of Standard Cycles | 1 | | Operation Mode | Semi Automatic | | Product Dimensions | 16.5"D x 26.5"W x 31.5"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Residential | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Semi-automatic | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Description | / | ## Product Details - **Access Location:** Top Load - **Brand:** Giantex - **Capacity:** 26 Pounds - **Color:** White+Blue - **Cycle Options:** Drain, Spin - **Finish Type:** Painted (White+Blue) - **Item Weight:** 34 Pounds - **Material:** ABS, Polypropylene - **Product Dimensions:** 16.5"D x 26.5"W x 31.5"H - **Special Feature:** Semi-automatic ## Images ![Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ss0w-E5tS.jpg) ![Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ktsYbQrSS.jpg) ![Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sjh7NT9bS.jpg) ![Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JXF2LgCGS.jpg) ![Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71epUyMpcQS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow up to my previous review.

It’s light weight to carry. The spinner is smaller than expected. Over all a good buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Giantex Washing Machine Semi-automatic, Twin Tub Washer with Spin Dryer, 26lbs Capacity, Built-in Drain Pump, Portable Laundry Washer, Compact Washing Machine for Apartment, Dorm and RV (White+Blue) - MyLifeUNIT Washing Machine Drain Hose Extension Kit, Universal Fit All Drain Hose, 6.9 Feet - Amazon Basics Foldable Portable Laundry Drying Rack for Air Drying Clothing, Indoor Outdoor Use - 14.5" D x 29.5" W x 41.8" H, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/330572111-giantex-washing-machine-semi-automatic-twin-tub-washer-with-spin](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/330572111-giantex-washing-machine-semi-automatic-twin-tub-washer-with-spin) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
