Our verdict

A small portable washer for dorms, RVs and tiny apartments that cannot take a full machine. The load is small, so plan on several runs for bedding or a family wash.

Overview

A semi-automatic top-loading portable washer with a rotary timer, a drain hose and a power cord. You fill it with water and detergent by hand, run the wash, then drain it.

It needs no plumbing hookup, which is the whole benefit in a space without laundry hookups. The limits are the small drum, the manual filling and draining, and a slow rotation that is gentle by design.

Who it's for

Students and travelers can wash light loads without a laundromat. Households with large laundry piles will find the capacity too small.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • No installation or plumbing needed
  • Light enough to move around
  • Quiet motor design
  • Clear tub window shows progress
Cons
  • Small drum, small load
  • Manual fill and drain
  • No dryer function

Performance notes

Cleaning comes from slow agitation driven by the compact motor, so heavily soiled or bulky fabrics need extra cycles. Using the delicates setting and keeping the drum from overfilling gives the water room to circulate.
