COSTWAYPortable Washing Machine, 2-in-1 Laundry Washer and Spin Combo with 10 Programs, 8.8lbs Capacity, Drain Pump and LED Display, Full Automatic Washer for Apartment, RVs, Dorm, Grey

I've been using this for probably 6 months, and it's not perfect but works well enough.I live in a condo, so small space, and my previous washer broke and I wasn't ready to drop 1k on a new one. Price wise, this was a great in-between.The instructions are confusing, I think they google translated it to English, but setup is pretty straightforward so it wasn't a big deal.I don't have the correct faucet to screw into the hose, so I had to get creative. The washer still works if you dump water in the top during the filling cycle. This isn't ideal, you can't use all of the features and have to use the lowest water setting. I basically plop it next to the bathtub, stick the drain hose in the tub, and use a mop bucket to fill. They make washers specifically for this, so look into one of those if you don't have the faucet, but if you already bought it like me it's not the end of the worldIt's a small washer, about a half load. I live alone, so not a big deal, but if you have a large family it might not be ideal.It does what it's supposed to. I've only used the basic washing feature due to above reasons, but it cleans clothes well and I haven't had any mechanical issues.It's light enough to carry around, but I bought a little platform with wheels to place it on, so I can store it in a spare room when not using.Overall, happy with the purchase. Eventually I do want a standard washer, but I'll keep this as a backup.

I’m so happy about this purchase!! I have way more clothes than I like to admit but it’s perfect for the job! Especially with my everyday scrubs and the kids uniforms.

****Edit after washing about 40-50 loads over a few months: Noisy when unbalanced. This could've been a 5-star review, because the motor is quiet and it works beautifully overall. My original review (everything below this paragraph) still holds true. However, I've found that it can be unbearably noisy if the load gets unbalanced. There's NO cushion of any kind between the drum and the plastic outer wall, and when a wobbly drum-housing starts whacking that wall, it sounds like a middle-schooler learning to play a snare drum. Given the crummy instructions, I wish I could give it 3.5 stars -- but that's not possible in an individual review, and 3 stars would be unfair.Love this little machine for our small apartment! Unlike other mini-washers, this one functions like a full-grown washing machine, just smaller. I've done several loads so far, and my complaints are mostly trifling: the supplied water line and drain hose could be longer, as could the power cord. I bought extensions for the drain hose and power cord, and will eventually buy a longer water line. (In a small bathroom you actually need MORE length than less, because if you can't move the machine to a convenient spot, you're blocking off access to a the whole room.)The one real problem I can't fix on my own is the instructions -- they are absolute crap. If you've been reading about other mini-machines, you might assume you have to put the water in yourself, with either a bucket or a hose attachment. While you do have to attach the hose to a tap and turn on the water, the machine controls the water intake. Until you start the load, water won't enter. The fill/refill and draining are all fully automatic. Which is excellent, except during the few minutes you're freaking out because you've turned on the tap but nothing is happening.If you give up on the instructions, do this for the first few loads and figure out the other controls later:1. Run the tap to heat the water, then turn it off and attach the hose. Turn the water back on. (COSTWAY: Since the max recommended temp is 122 degrees, some kind of thermometer on the hose or in the control panel would be helpful.)2. Load your clothes (no more than about two-thirds full), add detergent, and close the lid.3. Press the power button. The screen will say "01," which means it's programmed for a normal wash cycle of about 60 minutes.4. Press the water-level button to select 3, 4, or 5 liters. The 5 setting will just about fill the drum.5. Press the start button. Everything after that is automated.Additional tips:-- Clean the filter after every load. It's extremely easy to do, and given its small size it will fill up quickly.-- Some YouTube videos recommend putting in the soap, filling it partway, and adding the clothes. This may be ideal, but the lid-open alarm is pretty loud. I now skip that step and just add the detergent with my clothes.-- Put a cheap lint trap on the drain hose; you'll be surprised at how much it catches that would otherwise be going into your pipes. I'm using these for now, while looking for something more sustainable and free of plastic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5VJD1LG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title-- Keep an eye on things for the first few loads. Make sure the short drain line doesn't creep out of the basin, and that the water-hose attachment behind the machine isn't leaking.-- It's portable, but not really. It helps to put it on a dolly of some kind. I bought this one, which is inexpensive, has built-in levels, and can be adjusted to fit the base almost exactly (meaning fewer stubbed toes, etc.). The only downside is that the wheel locks are pretty stiff. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1NB5KNN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1Note: I rely heavily on reviews for my purchases, and I give honest reviews in return, whether the items are free or paid for. I refuse to be responsible for junky consumer landfill, so I order only what I can really use, and only if the listing and the seller's main page pass the sniff test. So if it seems like I give an unusual number of positives, it's because I'm very selective about what I order in the first place. I hope these reviews are helpful!

Highly recommend this portable washing machine. It fits up to 9-10 delicate items, washes very well, is quiet, and easy to move around. The spin cycle almost drys the clothes entirely! The whole process is about 45 minutes. It was a little challenging to hook onto the faucet, but I was able to find adapters at my local home improvement store. It’s a winner!

I've had portable washing machines before, that I haven't liked using due to having to do too much of the work myself (pouring water into the tub manually), or that have been too noisy (sounding like a helicopter was landing in my apartment). I was very hesitant to buy this washer, but due to the great reviews I decided to go ahead, hoping I wasn't wasting money. I am pleased to say that this washer was everything that I had hoped it would be! It fills itself (I dislike having to take my faucet adapter of to hook it up, but that's a small thing), it drains well (I hook it to my dish drainer, and that holds the hose securely), it's super quiet, even when spinning, and most of all it cleans the clothes great!! I bought the 8.5 lb one, and sometimes I wish that it was a little bigger, but honestly then it would be bigger to lug over to my sink, and I think in light of that, this was the better choice. Plus it does hold quite a lot, and it doesn't take a very long time to wash, even on normal and 5L, which is what I generally select. The only warning that I'll give involves me! Once I forgot to hook the drain hose up, and ugh, there was water all over my kitchen floor. Now I have trained myself to hang the drain hose first, before I plug it in, or attach it to the sink. I never want that to happen again! Just letting others learn from my mistake, haha. In regards to buying it though, it's a definite 10, and if you are considering buying it, you won't regret it!
