This might sound weird but I was looking for a portable and small washing machine that I could use to clean all the rags and wash cloths that I use around the kitchen and the house because I don’t wanna wash them in the washing machine I want to keep them separate because they get pretty dirty and also I don’t want to waste a lot of water by washing them in the big washing machine. I have another item from this brand which is a stand mixer so I was not afraid of trying this portable washing machine by the same brand. It has been working just as I had expected and I’m saving water and an also able to clean the rags easily in a separate small washer. It’s very light weight and portable sometimes I bring it up to the kitchen and I will use it there and other times I will take it out to the basement and use it in the basement.
