GE Space-Saving 2.8-cu ft Portable Top-Load Washer

It can be pretty annoying to realize that most portable washing machines, by their very nature, are a bit of the small side.

They’re great for a single person living by themself but for a family?

You’re going to be doing a lot of washing loads but not with this GE model.

This has great options for how you do your washing too with a bunch of different program cycles.

Magic Chef 1.6 Cu.ft. Topload Compact Washer

Our only complaint about the Magic Chef which is a good size at 1.6 cubic feet and which has a decent selection of wash cycles to choose from too, is that it’s not as portable as it could be.

We found it quite bulky and not so easy to shift around.

No biggie if you only move it occasionally but if you want to move it daily – it might be a real pain.

Magic Chef

Quick Fact: This has a detergent dispenser that you just fill up and then it automatically dispenses the right amount for a load. That’s unusual for a portable machine.


PROS

1. Transparent window for monitoring the load
2. A range of temperature options
3. Washes really well

CONS

1. Difficult to shift around
2. We found that it leaks a little
3. Struggles to clean if you fill it more than half full sometimes

If you’re on a tight budget and you need a compact portable washing machine then this Costway model might be exactly what you need.

However, be warned that it doesn’t dry very well and you’ll need to air your clothes before you wear them and it won’t switch off by itself – something that might be a deal breaker for some.
