Nictemaw Portable Washing Machine 15.6Lbs Capacity Portable Washer with Drain Pump 2.1Cu.ft Full-Automatic Compact Washer with 10 Programs 8 Water Level for Home, Apartment, RV, Dorms

Wish I would’ve gotten it sooner

Arrived quickly and we are very happy with the way it works so far. Love that it has both hot and cold inlet. The capacity is great. We had a 11 pound prior and this washer is the same same outside measurement but we can do almost twice the amount of laundry in each load. Looks great, was a bit surprised that it is gray insead of white but I think I like the gray better.

Thanks to Cyclone Hilary damage, we had to make some structural repairs to our home and decided that while we were at it, we would undertake a signficant remodeling project. This has put our laundry room out of commission for a while.I forgot what a PITA it is to have to leave home to do laundry. It's not as if I have a lot of options. A friend has offered up her washer/dryer but she likes to sleep in and I like to get my chores done early, so I thought I would give our local laundromat a try. $10 a load and the inconvenience of scrounging for quarters convinced me to look for another solution.Because I will have to move the machine around the house, total weight was an important factor to me. Even a 40 pound machine would be too heavy for me to handle easily.After scrutinizing every portable washer on Amazon, I found one that seemed light enough, claimed to be "full automatic" and looked like a single tub machine. Alas, in actuality, the machine required removing the soaking wet clothes, and inserting a spin dryer tub the size of a coffee can before reloading the clothes in small batches and running the spin cycle for each one. The spin tub was not large enough to accommodate a single pair of my husband's jeans.Back to the 'net I went. From the reviews, and pictures, it seemed possible that the Nictemaw machine would meet my needs. And I knew if it was truly under twenty pounds, i would be able to wrangle it about.It was my only other option, and if it didn't work for me, I would be headed back to the laundromat, but I was afraid to get my hopes ups. Surely the automatic drain pump would put the machine over my manageable weight.The machine arrived yesterday. Set up was easy. I lifted it into the bathtub, plugged it in, unhooked the drainage hose, filled it with clothes and three 2-gallon buckets of water, The drainage hose was already in place, and the input hose will screws in easily on the machine side. I don't have the right faucet adapter for the other end, but this bucket method works for me until then.The first load included a top and bottom sheet from a full size bed, a pair of jeans, a pair of khaki shorts and a denim workshirt. I used a tsp of liquid detergent and a third of a sheet of Tru Earth Fabric Softener for the Washing Machine (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6RCSR7L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details).The process was quick, the clothes came out clean, softened, lightly damp and ready to hang dry. Today, I washed an Indian print bedspread, 3 tee shirts and another pair shorts. I probably could have squeezed both loads into one, but did not want to overload the machine.So far, I am very happy with my little 15-16 pound completely automatic, single tub spin dry washing machine.I am not so happy with the instructions, which are nigh incomprehensible, but the operation seems pretty straight forward: Press Power On/Off, pick a setting between 1 and 10 and press the Start/Pause button.I am sure there are some nuances I am missing, but i will eventually get around to watching a video, or two.

Year ago, we had purchased this machine and we have loved it. Recently, after years of heavy use, it just gave out. Not only do we think it was a good value, we thought it was so great that we replaced it with nearly the same model from the same company.The washer is small but it is a powerhouse. It can handle our queen-sized bedspread or delicates and everything in between. It hooks up to the sink, so it is easy to roll out (we have the wheeled rack for it), connect, use, and put away.The washer has so many good settings as described, but let me tell you about the ones we use most: settings 1, 3, and 7. Setting 1 is your standard wash. For a full load, it takes about 45 minutes. Setting 3 is a quick wash, lasting about 17 minutes. Finally, setting 7 is just a spin cycle, which takes about 8 minutes. We use this last one on a load just to get any extra water out of the clothes so drying is definitely faster.We also use the water level adjustment a great deal. You can adjust it from 1 to 8 liters for different sized loads.Would I buy it again? I did and I have been very happy both times.

We are living in our RV untilWe get our house built. I had been looking at this little washer and finally decided to try it out. I wasn’t disappointed!!!!! It is advertised to hold 18 lbs per load that is true. I am amazed. This fully automatic washing machine cleans the clothes well. It holds about a basket full of laundry. It can even wash sheets and towels. I am very impressed with it. It eyhad a beep when wash cycle is finished.

So far it works as it should! Definitely thought it was gonna be some cheap pos. But hey, I gotta give it them. It's worth the price. Nice unit. Absolutely would recommend!!!! 5 stars! Great job folks!
