Overview
The Nictemaw NI5573_4 is a semi-automatic twin-tub portable washer with a 19-lb wash tub and 11-lb spin tub, plus a built-in drain pump, for apartments, dorms and RVs. Separate timers let you set wash and spin cycles independently rather than running one automated program.
- Twin-tub design washes and spins separately
- 19-lb wash and 11-lb spin capacity
- Wash timer 1-15 minutes, spin timer 1-3 minutes
- One-year manufacturer warranty
Who it's for
Fits apartment or dorm dwellers and RV or camping setups without hookups for a full-size washer, who don't mind manually filling water and moving loads between tubs. Skip it if you want a fully automatic, hands-off wash cycle or a machine that stays put during spin.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers moving into small apartments or RVs say the washer cleans effectively and the spin cycle leaves clothes nearly dry, and several call it a solid replacement value for a broken full-size machine. Complaints include a water inlet hose that can leak during filling, a spin tub that shifts position during operation, and one report of a defective unit the seller wouldn't accept for return.
