Overview
The Pataku portable washer is a 17.6 pound twin tub machine, an 11 pound wash side and a 6.6 pound spin side, built for apartments, dorms and RVs that lack room for a full-size washer.
The listing describes independent timers for washing, up to 15 minutes, and spinning, up to 5 minutes, plus a pre-soak function that can run up to 20 minutes before the wash cycle starts. A drainage pipe is included to empty the wash water without lifting the tub.
- 17.6lb total capacity (11lb wash + 6.6lb spin)
- Independent wash and spin timers
- Pre-soak function up to 20 minutes
- Built-in drainage pipe
Who it's for
Fits small households doing light to moderate laundry loads in a space without hookups for a standard washer. Less suited to anyone needing to wash a full family's laundry in one load, given the 17.6 pound total capacity.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Pre-soak up to 20 minutes loosens dirt
- Separate timers tune wash and spin loads
- Compact enough for trailers, dorms, apartments
- Drainage pipe simplifies emptying dirty water
- 17.6lb capacity suits light loads only
- 3.9 rating is modest for this category
Performance notes
The wash and spin sides run on separate timers so each can be set to match the size of the load, and the pre-soak function adds up to 20 minutes of soaking before the wash cycle to loosen dirt. A dedicated drainage pipe is built in to empty dirty water without tipping the machine.
