Overview
A twin-tub portable washing machine from Costway with a separate 12-pound wash tub and 8-pound spin tub, aimed at apartments, dorms, and RVs without hookups for a full-size washer.
This is a manual twin-tub design, meaning wash and spin happen in separate compartments with separate timer knobs rather than one automatic cycle. It includes inlet and drain hoses for connecting to a sink or floor drain, and its compact footprint is built to tuck into a closet or bathroom corner rather than replace a full laundry setup.
- Twin-tub layout: 12 lb wash side, 8 lb spin side
- 260W wash motor and 140W spin turbine at up to 1300 RPM
- Separate timer knobs for wash and spin
- Includes inlet and drain hoses
Who it's for
Fits someone doing regular loads of everyday clothing in a space without laundry hookups, such as an apartment or dorm. Not the right choice for heavy items like blankets or thick coats, or for anyone wanting a fully automatic single-cycle wash.
Pros and cons
- Separate wash and spin tubs with independent timers
- Spin cycle leaves clothes only damp, not dripping
- Compact enough for a closet, bathroom, or dorm corner
- Includes inlet and drain hoses
- Not suited to heavy blankets or thick coats
- Drain system reported as a weak point over time
- Clothes still need air drying after spinning
Performance notes
The wash tub uses a 260-watt motor with a pulsator and the spin tub uses a 140-watt turbine spinning at up to 1300 RPM, run on separate timer knobs so each side can be set independently.
