BLACK+DECKER BPWM16W Portable Washer, White

I bought this portable washer back in June 2023, and it’s still working AMAZING! It washes really well, has great capacity for its size, and the different cycles are super useful. It’s perfect for small spaces and saves so much time and money compared to using shared laundry. When it arrived, it did have a small dent, but customer service was great — they refunded me $80 because of the damage, and the machine itself worked perfectly despite that. I’ve used it nonstop since then with zero issues. If you’re looking for a reliable, powerful portable washer, this one is definitely worth it. I would buy it again!

Little background in case someone else is in my same position... I live in a big city, in a studio apt, on an upper floor... in a big old apt building.. AND I'm bucket filling! My faucets are all modern and weird shaped so there no adapter for me to plug my hose into. If you find your self in my position, you will need a rolling cart (bought on amazon) a doubled over yoga mat (to roll the cart and machine onto to absorb some sound) some high efficiency laundry detergent (I use 3 table spoons of old school Dr. Bonners and it works great!) A 5 gallon bucket and a little patience. There's a guy on here that goes into great detail in his review about how to do it for bucket fillers. His review helped me so I wont go into it here. So search all reviews for "bucket" and I'm sure you will find it. I will say, after about 3 washes, you will get the hang of it. I was sick of spending $5+ to wash and dry in my buildings laundry room. For one, its gross, other people are gross and their laundry and whatever they leave behind in the bottom of the washer is gross. Plus I was sick of it not working right and losing many quarters in the process. I did ALOT of research. I settled on this black and decker model and decided to get one size up from the smallest model. I am soooooo glad I did. The smallest is a little too small. Next size up is perfect for one active person that generates a moderate amount of laundry. The machine is quiet! It generates the same amount of sound as a modern dishwasher. Get yourself one of those little pop up wooden drying racks and you will be set. The clothes spinner works so well on this machine that the clothes come out only damp anyway...win! After I am done washing, I'll leave the machine out with the lid open for a day or so to make sure it completely dries out inside.. then I just roll it into my closet to store it out of sight. Use your common sense about water levels and not over filling and make sure you understand water displacement and drain it into something that can handle the amount of water coming out...that you put in. IMPORTANT FOR BUCKET PEOPLE: This freaked me out at first because I did not see this written anywhere.. when you go to fill your machine, you will pour the water in and it will disappear. This sketched me out because I dumped a fair amount of water in and it went down into the basin but no water was in it. I ran around the unit like some kind of stupid cartoon character thinking it was leaking out the back. It wasn't. There appears to be some kind of reserve under the basin that the machine uses at some point during the the wash. So once that fills up, your basin will begin to fill up. So chill out, you dont need to call customer service. It's fine. ALSO, BEFORE YOU START FILLING ANYTHING, make sure your drainage hose is placed properly in the appropriate place first or you will probably find yourself in big trouble with your landlord.

Please read for a hilarious and traumatic review. First off, I absolutely love this thing!!! I do not have hookups in my apartment for washer/dryer. I hooked this up right to my shower and put the drain tube in the bathtub. Works like a charm, no issues. However, the first time I tried to use it, I hooked it up to my kitchen sink because my kitchen is bigger than my bathroom, so I had more room for it in there. Well... the drain tube popped out of the kitchen sink and started draining EVERYWHERE. So, when you hang the drain tube over your sink, bathtub, etc.. make sure it is secure. I Flooded my kitchen. Thats not even the worst of it. I ended up moving the washer upstairs to my bathroom. Went to do a load of laundry one day and I FORGOT to put the drain tube in the bathtub. I threw it on a quick cycle and ran to pick up my husband from work. Was gone 15 minites tops. Came back and my downstairs was POURING WATER EVERYWHERE. It was quite the experience... so all this to say just make sure that dang drain tube is secure. And no, that metal clip to "hold it in place" I got from Amazon did nothing. It sits in my bathtub just fine now with nothing extra but I have a low bathtub, if you have a higher tub or putting it in your sink, secure that thing. But its been about a year and no more floods and I absolutely love this. I do about one load a week (when I remember) for 2 adults and its perfect. Ive also washed a queen sized comforter in here with no issue. We hang dry everything and its dry by morning. Just dont over fill your drying area and you'll be fine. Absolutely 10/10 reccomend!

I didn’t realize how big 1.7 was. I had an old apartment size washer that I could fit a couple towels in and maybe a shirt. It took me a long time to complete all my laundry. I bought the black and decker washer in a whim. I read the reviews and tried it. Well I can say it’s the best investment I’ve made. I enjoy the quickness and load capacity. It’s so quiet and easy to use. If you’re on the fence jump in it’s worth it. You can see the control panel and how the water pours in ! Much easier

This washer is fantastic!! Very efficient with multipe wash cycles, and wrings clothes so well, they barely require any dryer time! Purchased this for my mother who lives in a small apartment and she absolutely LOVES it...has called multiple times to express her gratitude, stating that it cleans clothes better than any full- sized machine she has ever used, including those at the laundromat. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the convenience of their own washer but no full-sized hook- ups.
