Overview
The Nictemaw NI5573-10 is a compact portable washer and spin-dryer combo with a 20 lb wash capacity in a 2.8 cu ft footprint, running 10 programs across 8 water levels. It connects to a faucet rather than home plumbing, suited to apartments, dorms, and RVs.
It is a two-in-one unit, with separate wash and spin functions that can run independently, plus a full automatic cycle. The clear lid lets you watch the wash and water intake, and a stainless steel honeycomb-patterned drum is meant to reduce fabric wear. A 24-hour delay start and child lock round out the controls, and the spin cycle is rated to remove up to 95 percent of water rather than heat-dry clothes.

Who it's for
Fits renters and RV or dorm dwellers who have no washer hookup and need something that plugs into a standard outlet and a faucet. Not a fit for anyone expecting full-size capacity or a heated drying cycle, since this spins water out rather than tumble-drying with heat.
Pros and cons
- Fits laundry into apartments, dorms, or RVs without hookups
- Spin cycle removes most water, cutting air-dry time
- Wash and spin functions can run independently
- Quiet enough for small living spaces per multiple owners
- Included drain hose is thin and can puncture easily
- Faucet adapter may not fit every household fixture
- One unit arrived scratched with a generic manual

Frequently asked questions
Does the Nictemaw NI5573-10 dry clothes with heat?
No. It spins water out mechanically, rated to remove up to 95 percent of water, and clothes still need to air-dry afterward rather than coming out fully dry.
Does it need a permanent plumbing hookup?
No, it uses a faucet adapter for water intake and a drain hose for output, so it can be set up temporarily without dedicated laundry plumbing.
Can the wash and spin cycles run separately?
Yes, the washing and spinning functions can be used independently or together through the automatic program.
