More from this brandAll Nictemaw portable washersOverview
The Nictemaw 5573 is a compact portable washer with a 20-pound wash capacity, built as a twin-drum unit that both washes and spin-dries, aimed at apartments, RVs, dorms and other spaces without hookups for a full-size machine.
This is a washer with a built-in spin-dry cycle, not a heated clothes dryer, so plan on hang-drying afterward or a separate dryer for fully dry clothes. Read the 'washer and dryer combo' phrasing with that distinction in mind, since the spec sheet describes a drain pump and spin function rather than heated drying.
- 20 lb wash capacity in a 2.8 cu ft footprint
- 3D turbo water flow wash action
- 24-hour delay start, tub-clean and child lock functions
- Stainless steel inner tub with built-in filter
Who it's for
Renters, RV owners and dorm residents without laundry hookups who need a compact machine that drains via pump rather than a fixed standpipe. Not a fit for anyone expecting a heated dryer cycle in the same unit.
Pros and cons
- Compact 2-in-1 washer and spin-dry design with handles
- Drain pump with extended hose plus included faucet adapter
- 10 programs and 8 water levels via digital display
- Transparent lid to monitor the wash
- Spins water out only, does not heat-dry clothes
Performance notes
A built-in drain pump with an extended hose pushes water out to a sink, tub or outdoors, and a faucet adapter is included for filling. The digital panel offers 10 wash programs and 8 water levels, plus a 24-hour delay start, tub-clean cycle and child lock. An automatic unbalance detection feature is meant to correct tub imbalance mid-spin rather than let the machine shake.

Frequently asked questions
Does this dry clothes as well as wash them?
It spins water out of clothes with a built-in drain pump, but it does not have a heated drying cycle, so clothes come out damp rather than dry.
What size loads does it handle?
The manufacturer lists a 20 lb wash capacity in a 2.8 cu ft drum.
How does it drain without a laundry hookup?
A built-in pump pushes water out through an extended hose, and a faucet adapter is included for filling from a sink or tub tap.
