Best Portable Washing Machines of 2026

"Living off-grid, I needed a washer I could bucket fill. This model is much better than dual-drum types I've tried before. It's very quiet, fits lots of laundry, and gets everything really clean. With a bit of practice, it's easy to manage water use and cycles. Even with hands-on filling, it's totally worth it for the convenience and peace of mind it brings, especially since the laundromat is such a hassle."

"At first, I ordered the largest size and realized it was too big for my space, but Amazon's home pickup return made things stress-free. I then got the 2.0 Cu. Ft. version, and it's been outstanding—quiet, fits more than expected, and my clothes come out almost dry after spinning. The time savings and convenience are worth every penny, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone tired of laundromats."

"I've had this portable washer since June 2023 and it's still performing flawlessly. Despite a small dent on arrival (which customer service compensated me for), the machine has been reliable and powerful for nonstop use. It’s ideal for saving money and space, and I would absolutely purchase it again."

"This mini washer has been a fantastic solution for my laundry needs, especially since I don't have space for a full-sized machine. It washes my jeans and work uniforms thoroughly, and the spin dry function works great. Setting it up with my shower hose and storing the parts is super easy. Overall, I'm really satisfied with how well it performs and how much I've saved!"

"I've turned to this little washer several times in a pinch, and it continues to impress me. Whether it's for delicates or queen sheets (split into two loads), it consistently delivers clean laundry without the hassle of the laundromat. The convenience and quality have definitely been worth the investment."

"Living off grid, I needed a washer that I could bucket fill and this one has been a game changer. It's much better than the twin-tub Japanese style machines I've used before. The weight-based system makes it easy to manage water use, and the spin cycle is so effective that my laundry is almost dry when it’s done. It's incredibly quiet, and everything comes out smelling fresh. As someone with limited access to laundromats, this washer has made my life much easier, even if it’s a bit hands-on when filling by bucket."

"When my Black+Decker 3.0 Cu. Ft. Washer arrived, I realized it was too big for my space, but Amazon's return process was outstanding—they arranged a home pickup and refunded me immediately. I then bought the 2.0 Cu. Ft. version, which is absolutely perfect for my apartment. It fits more than expected, is super quiet, and my clothes come out almost dry. For the price and convenience, I couldn’t be happier."

"I’ve been using this portable washer since June 2023 and it’s still working flawlessly. The capacity is impressive for its compact size, and the wash cycles cover all my needs. Even after a minor shipping dent, customer service quickly compensated me, and the washer itself has performed with zero problems. I’d definitely choose this model again for small space living."

"Living off-grid, I needed a washer that I could fill by bucket and not hook up to a tap. After experimenting, I found the system works based on weight for water input, and it's easy to adjust for different loads. I love how quiet it is, how thoroughly it cleans, and how well it spins things almost dry. The hands-on aspect doesn't bother me at all—it's much better than my old Japanese-style twin tub. The drain and gooseneck work great, and it fits my small space perfectly. For someone who hates laundromats, this has been a huge upgrade!"

"Initially, I worried the washer was too big for my space, but Amazon’s return process was incredibly smooth. I swapped for a size down, and the 2.0 Cu. Ft. washer is ideal for my apartment. I’ve washed at least ten loads and am impressed by its quiet spin and large capacity for its size. My clothes come out almost dry, and it’s far more convenient than trips to the laundromat. Highly recommend—worth every penny!"

"I purchased this portable washer in June 2023 and it’s still working flawlessly. It offers a great wash, versatile cycles, and excellent capacity for small spaces. Even with a minor dent on arrival, customer service was fantastic—they refunded me $80 and the machine works perfectly. I’ve used it continuously without issues and would definitely buy it again!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well this washer cleans my clothes. The machine is bigger than expected and handles several adult-sized garments in one load. Although the drain is gravity-fed, lifting the unit helps it drain completely. The spinner is impressively effective—my clothes come out barely damp, even with a quick cycle. I just swapped out the included hose for a sturdier one, and it's working perfectly for me. My only slight issue is that it's larger than I pictured, so it doesn't fit on my kitchen counter, but that's on me for not checking the measurements more carefully."

"After lots of research, I chose this washer for my apartment, hoping to save money and effort. The washer works as well as handwashing and is gentle on my clothes. Without a faucet hookup, it takes a bit longer, but it's about the same as handwashing anyway. Unfortunately, the spin dryer stopped working on my first load and even started smoking, which was concerning. If I were just rating the washer, I'd give it 4 or 5 stars, but the dryer issue is a letdown. Still, I appreciate the washer's performance."

"Cette mini laveuse portative est juste géniale! Super compacte, idéale pour le camping, et tout est fourni (panier d'essorage, tuyaux). J'aime que le remplissage se fait facilement à la main, et l'essorage est très efficace. Pour une brassée de 5 à 6 morceaux, tout le processus prend environ 30 minutes seulement. C'est exactement ce que je cherchais pour mes besoins en voyage!"

"I've used this washer for over three years, and it still works like new. It's perfect for small spaces and easily handles all my weekly laundry, including bedding and bulky items. The spin function is so effective that my clothes dry very quickly on a rack. Honestly, this machine paid for itself in just a few months compared to going to the laundromat."

"I love how lightweight and compact this washer is—it fits right in my apartment and is a breeze to move. The water wringing spin feature is excellent, and it's not too noisy. While drying clothes in winter is a bit challenging without a built-in dryer, the overall convenience and cleaning power make it worth it. I'd definitely recommend it!"

"This machine has been a game-changer for washing baby clothes. It's gentle, gets stains out well, and the spin dryer works great for quick drying. Customer service was helpful when I had a minor issue with the water inlet, so I'm really happy with both the washer and the support."

"Setting up this washer was a breeze, and I was amazed at how unbelievably quiet it is! The clothes come out nearly dry after spinning, and my jeans, which used to take days to dry, are now done overnight. The rolling platform I bought separately makes moving it in and out of my tiny bathroom super convenient. Great for job site clothes and perfect for small spaces!"

"The compact size makes this washer an excellent fit for my apartment, and it’s surprisingly powerful for its footprint. I love being able to see the wash cycle through the dark acrylic lid. It’s efficient, easy to use, and saves both water and energy—definitely a smart alternative to full-size machines for quick laundry loads."

"I bought this for my travel trailer to avoid laundromats and I’m really impressed. It’s very easy to operate and has several wash settings. Clothes come out very clean and almost dry, even though you can’t wash large loads at once. I just wish it had four wheels instead of two, but it’s still been a fantastic addition to my RV living."

"Living at my cabin for half the year, I got tired of hauling laundry back and forth or paying for laundromats. This compact washer has been a game changer—saving me time, money, and hassle. It’s so easy to use, gets clothes cleaner than my big machine, and is much more efficient with water, soap, and energy. I love how quickly my clothes dry after spinning—no wrinkles! Honestly, for someone with pets who needs to wash often, this is perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking to cut down laundromat trips."

"After my main washer broke, I needed a backup fast. This little washer exceeded my expectations—it's stronger and works better than my old mini washer. It fits perfectly in my bathtub and keeps the water away from the electrical parts, which was an issue before. The spin cycle gets my clothes almost as dry as my household machine, and it’s saving me a ton of money on laundry. Even after my main washer gets fixed, I’ll keep using this."

"I live in an apartment with no washer/dryer hookups, so this was a lifesaver. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and super simple to use. The spinner gets most of the water out—almost dry! Delivery was incredibly fast, and this unit has already saved me so many laundromat trips. I definitely love it and would recommend it to anyone with limited space or mobility challenges."

"I’m really pleased with this mini washer’s performance! Despite its size, it handles my scrubs and jeans with ease. The spin cycle works great, and my clothes always come out looking and smelling clean. Setup was straightforward—I just connect it to my shower hose and drain it into the tub. For the price, it’s been a solid investment and fits perfectly in my small space."

"This little washer has been a lifesaver, especially during times when my main unit was out for repairs. It’s perfect for delicate items and even manages queen sheets if I split the load. The convenience and reliability have made it well worth the cost—so much better than having to visit the laundromat!"

"After using this washing machine for a year in my apartment, I'm amazed at how well it handles frequent loads while remaining lightweight and easy to move. The spin cycle is so effective that hang-drying is quick. I especially appreciate the simple control panel and auto water shutoff. I only wish I'd bought it sooner!"

"This washer is the perfect fit for my compact living space and has proven to be quiet and surprisingly powerful. Despite its small stature, it works just like a full-sized machine. The investment was definitely worthwhile."

"Having relied on this machine for over two years, I can say that it cleans better than some full-size washers and is ideal for apartments without dedicated laundry rooms. It's lightweight with convenient handles and has saved me a lot on laundromat trips. Just remember it's designed for small loads and easy, manual filling if needed. For the price and functionality, it's unbeatable."
