Danby DTT420

Pros: Excellent washing and spin drying; highly efficient with water, electricity, and time; retro-cool technology.

Cons: Manual involvement with the wash cycle, however this is a minor issue.

The Bottom Line: If you want a high-efficiency washer without a high price, and don't mind getting your hands wet, buy it. If you prefer an automatic cycle, see the other Danbys.

Review: I've been using the Danby DTT-420 for over a month now, and I'm delighted. Unlike the previous reviewer, I think this is an excellent machine, as long as you're willing to learn how to make the best use of its design. It does require some ...

Pros: Compact, easy and fun to use. This machine really has cleaned my clothes!

Cons: Honestly, the only con would be if you want a more fully automatic washer.

The Bottom Line: This washer is a great choice for one or two people. It changed laundry from being a chore to something I enjoy.

Review: I held off buying a portable washer for years and lugged everything to the laundromat. Then I bumped into these reviews on the Danby Twin Tub, and my curiosity got the best of me. I ordered one and received it within a few days--and was doing laundry ...

Pros: HOLDS A LOT, I EVEN DID ALL MY TOWELS AT ONCE.

Cons: None that I can think of

Review: I used one all thru college and it was a lifesaver. This and a sweater rack to dry and you don't have to use the ghetto public laundry mats. There was some sort of a crazy guy lurking around my towns, so I bought this and totally bypassed the ...

Pros: I don't have to drive my laundry around town!

Cons: It IS very manual compared to regular machines, but the slight inconvenience is worth it.

Review: I went to the laundramat for 12 years and wish I found this sooner. Its light and was carried upstairs easily by 2 women. Hooked right up to the sink, washes well and the spinner gets clothes really dry. I use a rack and air dry. ...

Pros: Excellent value for the money, durable fast and very efficient, excellent high speed spin cycle,

Cons: Manual operation, if this doesnt bother you as it doesnt bother me then buy it!

Review: Absolutely Love my Danby Twin Tub! The prior reviewer is right on with his or her comments and use of this machine! Im so impressed ,I find myself looking for stuff to wash! Ive never done that before, as far as it needing a babysitter,yes it does, I ...

Pros: Good water extraction, water and electricity savings.

Cons: Faucet adapter, hose inlet deteriorate. Cord too short. Drain hook on small side.

The Bottom Line: Worth it for the savings in electricity and water.

Review: I have had my Danby Twin Tub washer for nearly two years. I like it much better than my big automatic washers, with their pump problems and lame spin cycles. My Danby uses much less water and the extractor does a much better job than the spin cycle of ...

Pros: Ease of use, portability, functions great, no plumbing hookups, standard electrical outlet

Cons: not automatic, a bit noisy, doesn't roll over carpet

The Bottom Line: If finances allow and you hate the laundrymat, I'd highly recommend. It's convenient and works great.

Review: I was so annoyed by dragging my laundry down three flights of stairs then two blocks away to a laundry mat...where the washers often didn't work...that I invested in the Danby DTT420 twin tub portable washer. It arrived quickly, with some issues with the ...

Pros: Easy to use. Cleans clothes very efficiently.

Cons: Hoses are too short. Too loud.

The Bottom Line: Know what you are getting into before purchasing.

Review: I recently purchased this washer after reading the reviews and moving into an apartment with no washing facilities in the building. The operation of the machine is very simple, I've done a few loads with varying levels of water, and detergent, and the ...

Pros: Compact, no hookups required, low energy use

Cons: Requires manual filling for wash AND rinse, requires moving clothes to spin

The Bottom Line: Good if you are very short on space. Not a good value for the money at all.

Review: Got this yesterday, and somewhat disappointed. I assumed it would act like every other washer I hav ...
