What is a Portable Washer?

Posted on June 10, 2021 By Pat D - Director of Training

Portable Washers are ideal appliances if you live in an apartment or a small house. And a full sized washer is not an option. These units are designed to move from a storage area such as a closet, to a kitchen, or bathroom, where you can hook one up to a faucet and start washing clothes. However, portable washer machines are small and capacity therefore, they should be used only when you don't have space for a full sized machine. A few things to consider when you look for a portable washer machine is design, and of course, its portability. You don't want to log and walk with heavy machine around the house every time you need to do a lot of laundry. Do you? Of course not. So look for a unit that's lightweight, but also includes casters that allows you to move it from room to room and cabinet handles that make it easy to carry. Every portable washer machine comes with a faucet adapter, which allows you to connect it to a kitchen or a bathroom sink. This item is important especially if your apartment or home doesn't have a washer hookup. I also suggest that you check your faucets to see if they have the threading which allows you to use the included faucet adapter.
