Is a semi-automatic twin tub washer worth it?

It is worth it if you have no laundry hookup and wash small loads often. It is not a replacement for a full-size automatic washer for a family.

How do you fill and drain it?

You fill the wash tub with a hose or bucket and drain it through the included hose into a sink, tub or floor drain. There is no automatic water level control.

How much laundry fits in 13 lbs?

About a small load: a few shirts, socks and underwear, or one set of bedding. Overloading the tub strains the motor and leaves clothes dirty.

Does it need to be hooked up to plumbing?

No permanent hookup is needed. It plugs into a standard outlet, and you connect the fill and drain hoses by hand for each use.

When is the price lowest?

Costway portables tend to drop during back-to-school and holiday sales. Compare across stores and check the price history before buying.
