- How much laundry does an 8.8 lb washer hold?
- About 8.8 lb of dry clothes, roughly a few days for one person or one small duvet cover set. Families will run several loads a week.
- Does it need to be plumbed in?
- No permanent plumbing is required. It connects to a faucet with the inlet hose and drains into a sink, tub or standpipe, so it suits rentals.
- Is it fully automatic?
- Yes. It fills, washes, rinses and spins on a set cycle, so you don't move clothes between tubs like a twin-tub portable.
- How does it compare with a twin-tub portable washer?
- It is easier to use because one drum does everything, but twin-tubs often spin clothes drier and let you reuse wash water.
- What is the child lock for?
- It locks the controls so a child can't start, stop or change a cycle mid-wash.
- Will it fit in a small apartment?
- Its compact freestanding frame fits closets, bathrooms and kitchen corners. Leave clearance for the hoses and some room around it during the spin.
- Where is the Compact Freestanding Portable Full-Automatic Washer cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $292.49, as of our latest check.
