Panda compact washing mchine - any actual experience?

I was looking at this Panda Compact Portable Wahing Machine with Spin Dryer and wondering if anyone had any actual experience with these mchines?

My RV does not have washer / dryer hookup so if I wanted to skip the laundromat on an extended trip, something like this might be the answer. Size and price are decent. Looks pretty easy to live with also from this YouTube video.

  • Some campgrounds don't want you to hang wash to dry. If you keep drying racks or clothes lines small you should be OK. With this in mind, the small loads can be a benefit.

    That was what we are thinking also. Probably won't be doing sheets and jeans and blankets but apparently it can do those also. Based on the videos on Youtube I am impressed so far. We already have the travel iron and ironing board. All we need is the washer/dryer and a drying rack. :)

    I'd have to smarten up some to be only as dumb as a rock! Thanks for the correction....

  • Specs say it's 240W, not 110....Which is no surprise- that washer and others like it are very commonly used in Korea and Japan. Folks pretty much just wash every day. Everything's hung to dry, by the way. (There's no heating element in the spinner.)
