COSTWAY 8.8LBS Portable Washing Machine, Full-Automatic w/Drain Pump, White

Perfect for my apartment with no laundry hookup. Easy to connect to the sink, cleans clothes well, and the spin cycle gets them damp-dry so they dry fast. Lightweight and easy to store when not in use. Just know it's for small loads only — don't expect to wash a comforter in it. But for everyday clothes, it works great. Saved me so many trips to the laundromat. Highly recommend!

I’m very happy with this portable washing machine. It’s compact and easy to use, and it works surprisingly well for its size. It’s perfect for small loads, baby clothes, towels, and everyday laundry. I also like that it doesn’t take up much space and is easy to move around. Overall, it’s convenient, practical, and a great choice for a small home or apartment.

Works perfect!! Spin cycle is so great the clothes come out barely damp!

****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=1 Note: 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!

About time it arrived!! I ordered it the day after black Friday, they said I’ll receive it on Dec 2. Fed ex emailed and said on the 4th. Then I get another email saying the 6, than the 7th. Until it finally came in on the 8th!! I hooked it up right away and boooooy it was worth every penny. Yeah it’s gotta be small loads but better than going to the laundromat. I def didn’t have a problem hooking it up. No Leaks, easy to move around , easy to use, spins the hell out the clothes, great quality, functions better than a big one, last but not least MAKES NO NOISE!! I’m obsessively inlove with this, never in a million years did it ever crossed my mind getting a small machine but being that the landlord won't it. I can easily hide it in my closet. I’m a single mother and on my days off I hate spending it at a laundromat, it’s enough I have to clean a whole house by myself. I totally recommend it, just make sure you do not overload and even out the clothes. I first tried it putting the clothes in first, I kinda didn’t like it because it held back on the amount of water, so I fill it half way with water and detergent than put the clothes in it is better that way.

Capacity good for light clothing, easy hook up and connect the washer , running well and for the first time

First of all, it was really big hassle for me to set this washing machine up. However, out of the first use, we found out this machine will not drain out water. I tried to contact the manufacturer and didn’t get a timely response from them while all my laundry soaked in detergent water for days. Then I tried to solve the problem myself by watching lots of tutorial video. I opened the back and twist of the cap of the draining valve (which was very difficult based on their structure) and I found out the spring inside draining valve is corroded and broken. I am very disappointed for all the troubles I have to run into just because I chose the wrong brand to buy the washing machine. I would not recommend anyone to get washing machine from here.

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!

Très efficace, légère. J'ai aussi acheté un chariot à roulettes pour la déplacer plus facilement. Excellent pour maison mobile. Très contente de cet achat. Je la recommande!

This was the best purchase i ever made. It's so easy to use. It's quiet, efficient and has really quick cycles. I have yet to try the air drying cyle but I'm sure it will be just as great as the other functions.

Machine is very good. Washes clothes clean. Only problem is the attachment with tap has a minor leaks continuously that bothers me. But otherwise it is a fantastic buy and save you a lot in a apartment building.

Great and convenient washing machine for a small apartment.

The washer works better than expected. It has a large capacity and is very quiet. Great for my apartment.
