COSTWAY Portable Washing Machine, 2 in 1 Mini Single Tub Washer Spin Dryer with Timing Function, Compact Wash Machines for Flats, Dorm, RV, Camping (Blue)

I bought this as my washing machine feed had a leak that couldn’t be fixed til February by my housing association, as I was fed up hand washing. Three loads in this machine is equal to 1 in my normal machine but it is so much quicker. Easy to use. The inlet tube is way too small for my taps so I just filled it by a bucket instead. Easy to empty down the sink. Good cable length but outlet tube needs to be longer. You literally add the clothes, add water and wash liquid and turn on the timer. When it’s finished washing drain the water then refill with fresh water to rinse, set the timer and let it do its thing. Definitely worth the money and washes clothes and big bath towels really well. It’s a bit louder than normal machine but that didn’t bother me.

I received the product this morning and have already completed one wash and spin cycle. First impressions: It’s surprisingly bigger than I expected (a good thing!) and looks quite cute. Very handy for someone like me who’s just moved into an unfurnished flat with no launderette nearby. I did need to watch a short YouTube video to understand how to use it. The main confusion was the water hose — I wasn’t sure if I could fill the machine manually, but I confirmed I could. The included tap hose doesn’t fit my tap, so instead I use my shower hose to fill it up. The drainage pipe on the bottom right works well and makes emptying easy. The machine is sturdy during washing, though it can shake a little during spinning, so make sure the dehydration basket is properly secured before starting. The weight is fine and matches the size of the unit. Why 4 stars and not 5: The dehydration basket feels too small compared to the machine’s size, leaving a lot of unused space. The spin cycle is limited to 5 minutes, but in reality it only runs for about 3 minutes (I timed it). This means I need to run it three times instead of two to get clothes properly spun. Note you can wash one load but due to the size of the dehydration basket you’ll have to split your load into 3-4 amounts to spin. That said, for the size, price, and the fact it’s semi-automatic, it does the job well. Just be aware: this isn’t a full washing machine, and it doesn’t have a drying function. You’ll need to be comfortable hanging clothes on a rack or line to finish drying.

This is a great device. The build quality is high. It makes my clothes clean and handles even higher weights effectively. It is literally compact and lightweight. You might find it a good idea to somehow program it yourself in terms of when to discharge and when to refill with fresh water and new detergent. Do not limit yourself to just filling water, adding detergent and rinsing. The spin is not powerful. Don’t count on it.

Do not buy this! The input hose is too small for most standard taps in the UK, so I had to manually add the water into the machine with a bucket or a shower head. Because there is not lint collector in the machine, everything comes out covered in fluff and lint and I have to manually lint roll most clothes after washing, a problem ive never had with any standard machine. The output pipe is flimsy and short and it's super easy to fall off and flood your flat. The basket for the spin cycle is TINY, which means you have to spin a load of washing in 2 or 3 increments, making the washing process very long and annoying. (Also if you load the basket with a larger item, the machine will hop around like crazy and make way too much noise). Might be a nice upgrade to washing everything by hand, but it cannot substitute for a real machine. On top of all these problems, my machine broke after just one month. A waste of money.

The COSTWAY Portable Washing Machine (2-in-1 Mini Single Tub) offers a convenient and space-saving solution for small households, studio flats, or temporary setups. Its washing performance is impressive—clothes come out thoroughly cleaned with minimal water and detergent usage. The unit also operates quietly, making it suitable for environments where noise is a concern. However, the spin-drying function leaves room for improvement. The spinner lacks sufficient power to fully extract moisture, often requiring manual wringing before air drying. Additionally, the dryer basket is quite limited in capacity, making it difficult to process larger loads efficiently. Pros: • Excellent washing performance • Compact and space-efficient • Quiet operation. Cons: • Weak spin-drying capability • Small dryer basket limits load size • Manual wringing often necessary. Overall: A reliable and quiet washer for light loads and tight spaces, but the drying function may not meet expectations for users seeking a fully hands-off experience.

Wish I’d got one sooner! Perfect for small spaces—compact, efficient, and surprisingly powerful. The spin function really impressed me. Of course, it’s not going to match a full-sized built-in, but that’s just common sense. If you’re after something space-friendly and easy to use, this is the one. It’s incredibly time-efficient too—you stay in control of your wash, no more rushing through cycles unless you choose to.

Compact and easy to use

Product came in fast time. It washes well but does not spin great. Even small items putting in 1 at a time come out soaking but good to use if no alternative. Will be using in my caravan on long stays
