Overview
Costway's 24961-CYPE twin-tub design splits washing and spinning into separate tubs, letting people without a laundry hookup run small loads by hand. The wash side holds up to 12 lbs, the spin side up to 8 lbs, and timer knobs cap each cycle at 15 minutes and 5 minutes respectively.
Twin-tub machines split washing and spinning into two chambers you operate manually, transferring clothes between them yourself rather than running one automatic cycle. That trade lowers cost and lets it run on a bucket or garden-hose fill in apartments, dorms, and RVs, but there is no pump, so drainage relies on gravity and a suitable low point such as a shower drain or bucket.
- 12 lb wash tub and 8 lb spin tub, 20 lbs combined
- Independent timer knobs for wash and spin cycles
- Side filter catches lint during the wash cycle
- 330W wash motor, 110W spin motor
Who it's for
Renters without in-unit laundry, RV and cabin owners, and anyone doing small loads who wants an alternative to a laundromat. It is not a drop-in replacement for a full-size automatic washer since loading, timing, and draining are hands-on.
Pros and cons
- Spin cycle removes enough water for a quick hang-dry
- Runs quietly on both wash and spin settings
- Compact enough for apartments, dorms, and RVs
- No pump, so drainage depends on gravity and placement
- Stock fill hose does not fit standard sink fixtures
- Wash timer tops out at 15 minutes per load

Frequently asked questions
Does the Costway 24961-CYPE drain on its own?
No, it has no pump. Water drains by gravity, so the unit needs to sit above a shower, tub, or bucket to drain properly.
Will the included hose fit a bathroom or kitchen faucet?
Not reliably. Several owners found the stock hose too short or the wrong fit for their fixtures and instead filled the tub directly or used a detachable showerhead.
Can it wash a full load of towels or bedding?
It handles individual heavier items like towels or sheets, but its 12 lb wash capacity suits small to medium loads rather than a full hamper.
