Is the Himimi Portable Washing Machine worth buying?

Its owner rating is very low, with repeated complaints about weak washing, poor spinning and early failures. Most shoppers are better served by a portable washer from a brand with a stronger track record.

Does it need to be hooked up to plumbing?

It is a plug-in portable unit, so it does not need a permanent installation. You fill it and drain it by hose, which suits RVs and rentals.

How much laundry fits in the 17.8 lb capacity?

That figure is the maximum rated load, and owners say real loads should be smaller. Expect it to handle a few days of clothes for one person, not a family wash.

How many wash programs does it have?

It offers 8 programs, which is more choice than most budget portables. Owners report the extra cycles do not make up for weak wash and spin results.

How does it compare with other portable washers?

It has more programs and a larger claimed capacity than many small portables, but its reliability record is far worse. Established portable-washer brands are the safer comparison.

Our take on the Himimi Portable Washing Machine 17.8 lbs with 8 Programs

The Himimi Portable Washing Machine is a twin-tub style portable washer rated at 17.8 lbs, with 8 wash programs and a 2.3 cu ft drum. It is aimed at renters, RV owners and small-apartment dwellers who want a plug-in washer without plumbing work. On paper it offers more cycle choices than most budget portables, but its 1-out-of-5 rating across 92 ratings is a serious warning. Rivals from established portable-washer brands carry far better owner records, so this one is hard to recommend.
