Deco HomePortable Washing Machine for Apartments, Dorms, and Tiny Homes with 8.8 lb Capacity, 250W Power, Wash and Low Agitation Spin Cycle, Includes Drainage Hose, ETL Certified

I love my little dynamo washer. This washer may be small but it’s a powerhouse! It works well and can hold more clothes than you expected. I use it to wash my scrub uniforms and other clothing like tees, leggings tanks, pj’s…etc. Everything always come out smelling super fresh. I just love it and I recommend this awesome washer/spinner it’s worth the money in my opinion. It also arrived a day early and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Awful spin cycle doesn’t work and I can’t return it big waste of money. Have had others far superior do not buy. Clothes get tangled while washing which this product does do a bad job of washing too. I have nothing good to say. Try something else it can’t be as bad

Title: Perfect for Small Spaces & Easy to Use!I purchased this Deco Home Portable Washing Machine for my apartment, and it has been a game-changer! It’s compact yet powerful, making it perfect for small spaces like dorms and tiny homes. The 8.8 lb capacity is great for washing small loads, like daily clothes, baby items, or delicates.Setting it up was super easy—just plug it in, add water, detergent, and you’re good to go. The wash cycle is efficient, and while the spin cycle is low-agitation, it still does a decent job of removing excess water. I also love that it comes with a drainage hose, which makes emptying the water hassle-free.The 250W motor is surprisingly strong, and despite its size, it cleans clothes well. It’s also ETL certified, which gives me peace of mind about its safety. My only minor complaint is that it doesn’t have a built-in water pump, so you need to place it near a drain or manually empty the water.Overall, this is a fantastic portable washer for anyone in need of a space-saving laundry solution. Highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

I bought this as an emergency, temporary replacement when my full sized washer quit.It works similar to the old fashioned tub style washers. Add your clothes, add water and detergent, run it. Drain the water, run again if you want an extra rinse, then pull the clothes out.The spin basket is worthless, in my opinion. Not only is it super small, but it doesn’t seem to stay attached. And, while spinning the machine moves all over the place!One thing to note - there were NO instructions with this. Literally no guidelines on how much detergent to use, how to attach the spinner basket, or how to attach the hose.

The media could not be loaded. I have had this portable washer for a while now and washed 5 or more loads in it. It took me forever to choose the model I wanted and I am glad I chose this one.It works very much as represented and has been cleaning my clothes well. I've always had my own laundry room with full size machines and haven’t loved the laundromat ever since I started renting a place without one. I’ve never owned or used a portable machine.I’ll summarize how it works for me, and some points that particularly reference what other reviews said below:No assembly required, out of the box it was in pristine shape and ready to use. It is also very light and easy to move for storage. I keep mine in a closet and pull it out as needed.It uses a gravity drain and read that it drains best if you elevate it, but everything I could think of to raise it up was either too much money or too big to store. A sturdy waterproof chair could work but my place is super small and all I have are small stools and couches. I ended up getting a square 4” plastic step, meant to help people with limited mobility manage a single entryway step and using that, it drains well. It drains ona flat surface as well just but as quickly which is frustrating between cycles. Plus, I sometimes use mine in the shower stall so having it raised keeps pooled water from the drain from getting near the cord.I wish the power cord were longer, I needed an extension cord. Not a huge deal but kitchens and baths tend to have counter height cords I feel like they should have thought of that. Be sure to get a waterproof/outdoor quality extension cord.The drainage hose is adequate, not super heavy duty so be gentle. I keep it taped to the side because I was worried it might be shaken off the hook that holds it during use and that would result in all the water flying out of it as it falls.The fill hose is useless. Use a bucket. There are some recommended heavier duty fill hoses on the amazon listing that could work too but somehow the bucket feels faster.In general, between filling, draining, wringing out clothes etc there will be water splashed—more so by “you” than the machine-- so drape a towel on the floor.You can fit way more in it to wash than you can to spin dry in the metal basket. Be prepared to spin dry a larger load in a few rounds. A lot of people complained about the shaking during the spin but once I got the hang of it, it was not an issue. Don’t over fill it the spin basket, wring the clothes out first and spread them out as opposed to leaving in a “ball.”For reference, and as in the video attached (which shows the machine in a spin cycle):I washed (2) XL men’s T shirts, (2) women’s tank tops, (2) pairs of mens L fleece shorts (3) mens briefs and (2) pairs of women’s socks in one load right easily. If you find it is not churning correctly during the wash cycle, add more water. The clothes have to have enough water to swish around in.The spin cycle you see in the video is one part of the above load: one T shirt, one tank and 2 briefs. I spun a few items at a time like this for only 3 minutes each. Everything was hung to dry after that and was dry by the next day.Took me a few loads of practice to get the detergent right—you really do not need a lot and it’s best to use liquid. I add it to the bucket before I fill with the water I’ll use to fill it initially so it’s already a little sudsy before I even start to machine.If you do happen to over-soap, just do an extra rinse cycle and change out the water halfway.Yes, you can wash jeans in there-but only one pair at a time and it won’t fit in the spin basket so be prepared to wring it out well if you ever want it to dry. I roll the wet jeans in a clean towel and press/step on it and it does an excellent job wringing them out. Jeans dry overnight inside or in a few hours if you hang them in the sun.I have not washed sheets or towels in there. I imagine 1-2 bath towels would fit in the but even just one would not fit in the spin basket. A set of queen sheets could probably fit for washing but again, not to spin. For me, sheets are too big for me to want them hanging all over my tiny apartment overnight to dry anyway. My solution is to have plenty of spare sets of sheets to change the bed and go to the laundromat with only dirty sheets and towels and a few other heavy items once a month.Overall my clothes seem to be as clean as they would be in a regular washing machine. I generally wash loads with just a few undergarments for 3-6 minutes and larger mixed loads l like I described above for 9-12 minutes. Then it’s equal time repeated for the rinses (same as a wash cycle but you use fresh water and no soap) and in the case of this example load, I also did three spin cycles at 3 minutes each. You can skip that altogether if you like.Yes, it takes longer than a regular machine. The example load took 45 minutes or so all in with set up etc but I didn’t have to leave the house or spend money and got to work on my laptop and make lunch while the machine did its thing.I did not have any of the issues some others mentioned such as: scratches on the machine upon opening, the cycles stopping before time was up or overheating and needing to give the unit a rest. Also, when it washes it barely vibrates at all (some reported it shook a lot) as long as the clothes aren’t clumped up (if so, just open it and redistribute. Same applies of it won't churn the clothes in a wash cycle)Overall I am very happy with the purchase and am glad to have this option to wash clothes at home

Love this washer! I use it in my camper, it's does a great job, powerful wash/rinse cycle. The only issue I have is the basket for the spin cycle does not stay in place so I wring my clothes out by hand. It's not a deal breaker for me though. It's easy to use and after more then a year of use it's still going strong!

UPDATE ***** it worked great for 3 weeks but now there is quite loud clicking coming from underneath and my agitation isn't as strong. I had hopes in the beginning. everything you will read after this is the initial review: like the fact that someone decided to ditch the second tub idea as a spinner. It allows a larger wash area to contain more clothes. I was pleasantly surprised at how many clothes I could put in this washer and the motor is strong enough to agitate them properly. It's built in typical cheap plastic With a somewhat flimsy lid. It does not let you operate with the lid up. I have gone through three different apartment size washing machines all under $100 in the past 3 years. This one has the largest capacity and has one of the stronger motors. I'm able to wash jeans and blankets While it does work right now time will tell because I have had these motors go out before. It definitely functions quite adequately but is certainly no frills.
