Get one
I really truly love this little washer. We got the bigger model that has an 11 lb capacity. I rarely leave reviews for things but this is something that I feel needs one. It is so wonderful to have this little workhorse in our home. We live in an apartment with no laundry facilities. I have found that it fits very nicely into our bathroom. It is small and compact but large enough that one does not need to bend far to retrieve the clothes or set the timers. It gets everything we have washed so far very clean. I do a lot of art, mostly in ceramics, so I am always covered in clay or clay dust. This washer gets all of it out every time. It also has washed both my top and bottom sheet of my queen sized bed along with two towels all at once. But lets talk for a minute about this spin dryer. IT IS SO COOL. I honestly didn't really like doing laundry before but the spinner is one of the neatest things. It spins SO much of the water out of things. I swear they come out about 75-85% dry. It is really rad. Sometimes if not loaded right it will knock around and not make it up to top speed but all that needs to be done is to rearrange the clothes in the spinner and you're good to go!Seriously, I am in love with this washer. I highly recommend it. Two of my neighbors now have one because of my praise of it. I have no idea why I ever doubted getting one.

Think twice before purchasing this washing machine.
The Mini Small Washing Machine was nice looking and when I did a small load in the machine it washed well. There are issues with the wash tub not draining out the small hose provided. The machine does not even gravity drain. Might be something with the design of the pump. We had to pick the machine up and empty it by turning it upside down. Even after being upside down, all of the water does not drain and it is stuck in the machine. We also noticed the machine leaked at the bottom. When the knob was turned to drain, the motor sounded like it was going to die.If the manufacturer would redesign the pump, this would be a great portable washing machine.I would not recommend anyone wasting their money, unless they have the time to figure out a different design for the pump.Amazon was great in helping receive my refund and the company I purchased this machine from was quick with the refund after Amazon contacted them.

Impressive product.
I bought this back in June or July, I moved into a travel trailer and was looking for alternate Way to do my laundry to keep me from going to the laundry mat. It is now November, and I have to say best purchase I could have made. Now keep in mind this isn't a high-tech big washer. I can't wash my bed comforter it's too big for it. I also only do my own laundry I'm not washing clothes for a big house. The main complaint I would have on it is the pump to push the water out of the tank isn't very strong. So the side hose where the water drains out if you have that leftover something it won't drain out, it won't push the water out. My solution is to just lay the hose flat. Originally I wanted to be able to move it into my bathroom and drape the hose over the bathtub and have it drained out there but that was not a option. Instead I just keep the washer outside in a shed, or use the water hose to fill it up and to rinse the clothes off. The dryer ringer works better than I imagined it would, sometimes I might have an issue getting it balanced but as soon as I do the clothes will ring out fairly dry, do you keep in mind it's not a heating dryer so of course you're close will still be damp when they come out I just hang them on the line after that. I was worried after I first bought it I was playing with the timers end it stopped working. I thought I was gonna have to return it and get a new one or a different product, but I love the timer timeout unplugged it plugged it back in and then it started working again just fine, I haven't had any issues since then. Overall for the most part I am pleased only thing I would change on if I could is a stronger pump, but if you don't mind having it outside and just laying the hose flat he won't have much of a need for one.

A good Mini washer
I would recommend one of the slightly larger models out there if you live in an apartment. I needed something with a maximum 15" width so that it could fit through the bathroom door and in the tub. For an RV, this may be as good as it gets in terms of size. It is supposed to fit twice what the 5.5LB mini washers can hold. In reality, I don't think it holds twice as much. But, it is a good option for an RV if you need to wash a decent amount of clothes and not go to the extreme of installing an RV washer/dryer, which is also quite expensive.This washer will wash anywhere between half to 2/3 of a normal load, depending on what you are washing. The only real problem is that jeans are a heavy fabric and this machine can only handle one pair at a time without putting a lot of stress on what is likely a cheap motor. I burned out a 5.5lb mini washer doing only one pair of jeans a few times. Sheets and other clothing washes exceptionally well.Pros:-Lightweight-Fits in a small space-Comes with a spinner that works really well, spin-dries clothes quickly, has a rinse while spinning feature, and balances easy-Strong agitator compared to other washers-Perfect for an RV-Cheaper than buying two 5.5lb washers plus a separate spinner-Saves electricity (already have cut down the monthly electricity bill by $40);-Does a really good job at getting dirt out and is great at washing clothingCons:-doesn't really hold 11lbs of clothing. Maybe 9-10lbs-Don't know how long-lasting it is yet; it is made in China and doesn't appear all that high-quality-Time consuming process: requires baby-sitting since there are several steps for each load that requires monitoring or being close-by. -After filling there is setting the timer, than activating the drain, than refilling for rinse, than the timer again, than the drain again, than transferring to spinner (turning on the water if using the rinse-spin) and transferring to dryer.-Drain pump: I don't know why a pump is needed. The drain hose has to be pretty flat along the ground since the pump is really weak. Gravity would be much faster at draining, though the pump isn't really annoying.-You can only wash one pair of jeans at a time without stressing the motor.-The 'Normal' and 'Soft' functions appear to not be any different or have any purpose.-There is no 'max fill line'-The instructions sent with the machine are translated from Chinese and are worthlessSuggestions:-Buy a timer and figure out how long each segment of the wash takes. The rinse and spin are the only parts that have their own timer. You can work on other things nearby while you do the wash and take away the stress of being afraid of overfilling the washer. With an RV I have found that it takes between 4-5 minutes to fill the washer, 3 minutes to drain, 3-6 minutes washing time (unless it is really dirty), and 2-6 minutes spinning time. All in all it takes about 21 minutes to wash and spin one load. The spinner works better than standard washers.-Use high concentration soap to prevent soap suds. The biggest pain about these washers are that soap suds are really hard to get out of the clothing. This soap will not make many suds but will clean really nicely. If there are still some suds after the rinse cycle, than spin the clothes for a minute, turn of the spinner and let the spinner water go for about a minute and than turn off the water and the spinner back on for 6 minutes. It will save you some time. Once you learn how much soap to put in the washer, you won't have to turn on the water while spinning at all and you can get away with 3 minutes of spinning.-When loading the spinner put it the shirts first (wash an equal amount of tops to bottoms to help with this). The shirts balance really easy for some reason. Put the pants on top of the shirts by placing them upside down (legs up) and roll each leg into a ball on two sides of the spinner with the second pair of pants the same but rotated 90 degrees. Place the underwear and socks on tops and the round disk on the top. With sheets place the pillow cases on the top (you can wash one pair of sheets with 2 pillow cases). Sheets are the hardest to balance. Place one pair of sheets in, close the lid to let it start to spin and let it balance itself a little in that way before placing the second sheet and pillowcases.-With jeans, wash one pair at a time keeping in mind you don't have to fill the washer as much and this will cut down the time. After washing place in spinner and wait to spin until second pair of jeans is done. This will cut down on some spinning time since jeans need the longest time to spin (3-6 minutes).Overall it takes about 2-3 hours to wash and spin a weeks worth of clothing for two people. Not bad considering the time to drive to a Laundromat and wash the clothes there.I have only had it for three weeks so who knows how durable this thing is. It certainly has been worth the money and has made washing clothes in an RV doable without taking a whole day to wash. If you live in an apartment or house it might be worth it to get a slightly larger model that is more automatic. But, for its size I have been impressed. If you need something smaller, this might be for you.
