Our take on the Costway Portable Washing Machine 5.5 lbs

The Costway Portable Washing Machine is a compact twin-tub unit with a 5.5 lb wash drum and a separate spin basket. It runs from a standard outlet and hooks up to a faucet, so it suits apartments, dorms, RVs and small loads without a dedicated laundry hookup. It costs far less than a full-size washer and needs no plumbing work, but it is manual: you fill it with a hose, move clothes to the spin tub, and drain it yourself. Rivals in this class are similarly hands-on; the Costway's edge is its low capacity price point, while its weak spin and noisy motor are the usual complaints.

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

How much laundry does the 5.5 lb drum hold?
About 5.5 lb of dry clothes, roughly a few shirts, underwear and socks or a small baby load. It is not sized for towels, jeans in bulk or bedding.
Do I need plumbing to use it?
No. It fills from a faucet with the included hose and drains into a sink, bucket or floor drain. You do need to be near a faucet and a drain point.
Does it wash and spin at the same time?
Yes. The twin-tub design has separate wash and spin baskets, so you can spin one load while another washes. You still move clothes between tubs by hand.
Will clothes come out dry enough to wear?
No. The spin removes some water but leaves clothes damp, so plan on line or rack drying. Many owners run a second spin to get more water out.
How does it compare with a full-size washer?
It is far smaller, cheaper and needs no hookup, but it is manual, slower and handles only small loads. A full-size washer is better for families and bulky items.
Is it good for apartments and RVs?
Yes, that is its main use. It stores easily and needs only an outlet, a faucet and a place to drain, which suits apartments, dorms, RVs and cabins.
Where is the Costway Portable Washing Machine 5.5 lbs cheapest?
At Lowe's, for $73.98, as of our latest check.
