Overview
This 20 lbs portable washer and spin dryer combo packs 10 wash programs and 8 water levels into a 2.8 cu ft tub with a slow-close glass lid, built for apartments and other spaces without laundry hookups.
This combines a washing tub and a separate spin-dry cycle in one 2.8 cu ft unit rather than a heated clothes dryer, so clothes come out damp and spin-dried rather than fully dried. The stainless steel inner tank and a lint filter are meant to reduce wear and catch debris during the wash. Side handles and an adjustable base are built for moving it between a closet, campsite, or dorm room.
- 20 lbs wash capacity, 2.8 cu ft tub
- 10 programs, 8 water levels
- Up to 95 percent water removal on spin
- Auto unbalance detection with adjustable base
Who it's for
Apartments, dorms, RVs, and campsites without full laundry hookups are where this fits best. Works for someone comfortable finishing the drying step separately, since the spin function only removes water rather than heat-drying clothes. Not a replacement for a vented clothes dryer.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Separate wash and spin cycles for flexible use
- Stainless steel inner tank and lint filter
- Slow-close glass lid reduces noise
- 24-hour delay start and child lock
- Spin-dries only, does not heat-dry clothes
- 2.8 cu ft tub limits load size
Performance notes
The washing and spin functions run separately so laundry can be spun without a full wash cycle, with the machine's own unbalance detection meant to correct uneven loads mid-spin. Nictemaw states the spin cycle removes up to 95 percent of water, which shortens air-drying time afterward. A 24-hour delay start and child lock round out the control panel, and the tub has a self-clean setting.
