Best Portable Washing Machine 2021 – Buyer’s Guide

Capable of both washing and spinning your clothing, this portable device is perfect for taking on trips or even using to wash and part-dry some of your more delicate items.

The washing capacity is 3.6kg, and the spin is 2kg, so it is slightly larger than the majority of others on the market. A wash can run up to 15 minutes and a spin up to 5 minutes, so there is plenty of chance to get everything done.

It only weighs 11kg, so won’t be too heavy if you are using it in a caravan or motorhome and need to carry it about. All you need is access to a power point and a drainage area, as well as the washing powder and water. A drainage tube is included in the box.

It isn’t just for anyone wanting a part-time travelling device; it is perfectly good enough to use as a backup to your larger machine if you have any small mid-week washes such as school uniforms or pet towels/blankets.

The Display4Top portable mini washing machine is one of the best selling units in their line. 

The mini washer comes with a easy to remove spin basket which you both use to wash and spin dry your clothes. We found it to be extremely easy to use even on vacations and camping trips.

The quality of the wash is quite good. It also conveniently comes with a timer included for a maximum of 15 minutes.

We were impressed with the the drainage tube as it made it convenient to drain the water out when done washing. 

Able to both spin wash and spin dry, this is a handy product if you want an all in one which does the whole task. It is extremely easy to set up and practical to use.

You get a timer so you can perfect the load, and it is one of the most generous when it comes to how much it can hold with both washing and drying. You can also pick between a normal wash and a gentle wash, so whether you’re getting the dog’s blanket or your underwear clean, they won’t come out damaged.

It will automatically switch off after the timed programme ends, and it will drain automatically as long as the pipe is lower than the item. Weighing only 11kg, it isn’t too much of a pain to carry and move around, which makes it perfect for caravans, motor homes and those who have to store it away in between uses.

Perfectly compact to make it easy to store, carry and transport, this mini portable washing machine is the perfect camping companion.

It is also great for keeping at home as a backup washer or for those little bits and bobs you don’t want to hand wash or throw in with everything else. Whether you need some clean trousers for work tomorrow, want to keep the baby clothes separate, or you don’t want to risk your delicates in your large, rather ferocious machine, this little mini model can help you out.

Yes, it is basic and a bit fiddly, but for those little jobs, you couldn’t wish for any more. Washing turns out better than expected, and there are enough functions to get the job done.

There is quite a bit of shaking from the device when it is in operation, but as long as you keep it secured or held down for the spin part then it shouldn’t be an issue; just keep an eye on proceedings.

Able to wash 3.5kg of clothing and spin 1.3kg, this is a handy portable model if you need the best of both worlds and need it to be done as effectively as possible.

Because of its effectiveness, it isn’t just for those camping trips and holidays when you don’t want to pay extortionate cleaning fees. If you don’t have space for a full-sized model in your home, or you need to occasionally wash delicates/baby bibs/dog blankets without hunting around the house for a full load, it can help you out.

You also don’t have to wait around forever for it all to be done. A wash takes around 6 minutes and a dry around 2 minutes. Just plug it into the mains, and pop the draining pipe over a sink.

The carry handle is a little flimsy, but you’re probably not going to be holding it long enough for this to go awry. It isn’t possible to use both sections at the same time, either. But apart from these minor issues, it still cleans well and is a nice size to be transported.

A huge 7.6kg capacity overall makes this portable washer one of the largest out there, which is great if you need something which can cope with huge loads but is still smaller than a freestanding washing machine.

It will wash and dry. Timer control allows for control over both functions, choosing between 1-15 minutes for washing and 1-3 minutes for dry. Because both functions use separate chambers, everything is kept in really good condition and you can also use both at once to save precious time.

This does make it one of the biggest portable washer dryers on our list, but the sheer adaptability is worth it.
