Re: Portable clothes washer?
Currently using the Haier 1 cubic foot washing machine (no dryer). Spin cycle very good, hang clothes on a octopus looking circular hanger from rod in shower - wash in am, hang to dry, go on with my day, put away by dinner. Use washer as hamper. RV friends with combo RV washer/dryer say it is lengthy to dry clothes, and always wrinkled so elected to buy washer only. Previously have used the "power washer" - Laundry Alternative product and 5 gallon bucket when caught in remote areas w/o Laundromats. Works well and is good exercise too. But too hard for old hands to wring old clothes. Purchased and used the spinner from Laundry Alternative - simply amazing how much water is extracted in a few minutes. Clothes quickly air dried. DH didn't like bucket method (I didn't mind) so purchased the Haier machine. Some RVers use it as portable - hooking up to kitchen/BR sink - our 5W came w/preplumbed laundry closet. Placed a water heater pan underneath and use a leak detector to be safe. I keep a marine dehumidier in bathroom -Airdryer - and will place this in shower to speed clothes drying on rainy/humid days. It's a personal choice, but I so appreciate doing laundry while drinking my morning coffee.686Views0likes0Comments
