Overview
Built for small footprints such as dorm rooms, apartments and RVs, the Avanti STW16D0W is a 1.7 cubic foot top load portable washer with separate hot and cold water inlets rather than a single faucet adapter. It runs six wash cycles with three temperature and three load size choices.
Reviewers who bought it specifically wanted real hot and cold plumbing connections instead of a flimsy faucet adapter, and several say that difference is what sold them over a front loader. The catch is that this is not a sealed, self-contained washer: overfilling it can send water over the rim onto the floor, so load size needs some attention.
- 1.7 cu ft stainless steel tub with bottom pulsator wash action
- Three water temperature and three load size selections
- ADA compliant freestanding design, 36.75 x 20.25 x 20.75 inches
- Electronic controls with extra rinse and delay start
Who it's for
Good for anyone in a dorm, apartment, condo or RV who needs a washer that connects to real plumbing but doesn't have space for a full-size machine. Not the right pick for households that regularly wash large or bulky loads like comforters at full capacity.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who kept theirs praise the separate hot and cold water hookups and say it washes well, with one calling it better than their old full-size whirlpool machine and another washing a queen comforter in it. The same reviewer warns not to overfill it, since water can spill onto the floor if you do. A couple of one star reviews involve shipping damage from the carrier and a brief no good with no explanation given.
