Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought a Della mini washer in August 2016 and it was great for several months. A few weeks ago the agitator function decreased greatly. It would barely agitate the water, and wouldn't move at all with clothes in it. It was disappointing, to say the least. I could find no troubleshooting information and the warranty had long expired. I decided to buy another Della washer and add the 3-year warranty. I was unable to buy the same model but this seems to be an updated model of the same washer. I bought this on January 5 and it was delivered today (January 12). Everything seems to be great. The agitator function is strong, the spin dryer is excellent and the pump is incredibly useful. For the price, this is an excellent washer. It cleans as efficiently as any standard washer and the spin dryer does an excellent job of removing most of the water. I use this in conjunction with the Sonya portable dryer and only have to dry laundry for a minimal amount of time. I am able to wash two pairs of ladies cotton pants or skirts and two blouses or a complete set of full sized sheets (top and bottom sheets, pillow cases) or three thick bath towels. I could probably add more, but feel like laundry may not be as clean if I did. My usual process is: - Fill the washer with water and laundry, add detergent and wash for a full 15 minutes - Drain water - Fill the washer with water again for a rinse cycle, add fabric softener and wash for 9 minutes - Drain water - Use spin dryer on half the wash load for 3 minutes - Use spin dryer on remaining road for 3 minutes I do not spin dry the clothes between the wash and rinse cycles. I did during my initial use of the washer, but find it's really not necessary. The second wash/rinse cycle really gets the job done. It is great to be able to do laundry from home again. For those without in-home laundry hook-ups, this is a fantastic alternative and is so much more convenient that going to a Laundromat. As inexpensive as it is, it might even be worth having on hand for those with full sized in-home washers/dryers as a back-up if the larger machine breaks down. ***Though the Della description and technical details do not mention it, this model does have a built-in pump.***
