- How does the twin-tub design work?
- You wash in the 18 lb tub, then move the clothes by hand into the 8 lb spin tub to extract water. The two tubs run on separate timers, so you can wash one load while spinning another.
- Does it need to be hooked up to plumbing?
- No. It fills from a faucet using the included hose and drains into a sink, bathtub or floor drain. You do need a nearby water source and somewhere for the drain hose to empty.
- Can it wash blankets and bedding?
- Small blankets and throws fit, but a queen comforter is too bulky for the 18 lb drum and will not spin dry well. It suits clothes, delicates and small household items.
- How dry do clothes come out?
- Damp, not dry. The spin tub removes most water from thin fabrics, but thick items like jeans and towels need air drying or a dryer afterward.
- Is it good for an apartment without a washer hookup?
- Yes, that is its main use. It stores in a closet or corner and runs on a standard outlet, though you will handle the water hookup and draining each time.
- What comes in the box?
- The washer unit, a fill hose and a drain hose. A faucet adapter is usually included; check that it fits your tap before setup.
- Where is the Costway Portable Washing Machine 18 LBS 8 LBS Spinner Combo cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $169.99, as of our latest check.
