COMFEE’ 1.6 Cu.ft Portable Washing Machine, 11lbs Capacity Fully Automatic Compact Washer with Wheels, 6 Wash Programs Laundry Washer with Drain Pump, Ideal for Apartments, RV, Camping, Magnetic Gray

La lavadora me gusta, cero quejas.

This is one of the best life decisions I have ever made. I was using local laundromats for the longest time, and they kept increasing the costs of the machines, or the dryers didn't fully dry the clothes, of the washers didn't fully clean the clothes, the washers smelled bad, I had to wait to use machines in crowded laundromats, I had to deal with rude or inconsiderate customers - that's just some of the issues, there were so many more. And there was nothing within walking distance, so I had to load everything into the car and then hope for parking when I got home (I live in a city). Doing laundry was a miserable experience. And things have only gotten worse since then, with rents going too high for laundry businesses to continue or stay affordable of they do stay open, or building being torn down to build high-rise apartment buildings. Just misery all around trying to get laundry cleaned. When we got to the point where we were filling the tub to (inadequately) clean our clothing, I finally gave in and bought an apartment-sized washer - this one. My bathroom is very small, but the dimensions looked like I could make it work - and it did. The space is a little tighter in the bathroom now, but so worth it for the ability to do laundry at home - and at any time of the day So, about the washer: I got it in October 2024, and it is still working really well. No issues at all. (Well, not none, but they are user issues. We have forgotten to place the hose in the tub a few times and flooded the apartment. After doing that about 4-5 times, the trauma of cleaning up so much water and throwing ruined things away forced us to remember.) I hook the fill hose up to the bathroom sink as needed, place the drain hose in the tub, and life is good. To make the washer stay in good shape, I am really strict about keeping the washer tub clean - to avoid a soapy mess, I don't use the slide-out detergent cup for detergent, I just add the detergent directly on top of the clothing, and after every wash, I pull the detergent cup out and dump the water that gathers in it so it doesn't sit and get stagnant and smelly, and I wipe down the tub and inside of the lid so it doesn't stay wet between washings. My house-mate works in a restaurant kitchen, and even so, we have been able to keep the washer tub smelling almost new just by maintaining it this way. If I had more space I would have invested in an apartment-sized dryer, too, but I don't. As long as we space out the laundry loads, we can dry everything on clothes hangers on the shower rod, using clippy hangers for the towels indoors - I use over the door hanger holders to maximize drying areas - and when possible, I use a laundry rope and pins outside. If you're reading this because you're still considering buying a washer to make your apartment life easier, do it now, because I can't tell you how much I regretted not buying this sooner than I did. The $300 (give or take) that this costs quickly pays for itself in so many ways. Some of the other detail ideas listed below the review field here: Durability: Fantastic, but I recommend being strict with maintenance in order to make it durable. Water usage: I love that it has options for small to large loads (note that large loads are relative, but you can wash a large blanket in it, or several towels. I think this washer is best for small households, like mine. If you are a larger household and have to use it multiple times every day to keep up with laundry, the water usage and durability would be affected. We do about 5-6 loads a week.) Connectivity: It comes with a connector for the sink. If you have a washer connection in your apartment, you can hook up both filling hoses, but if you have only a sink, you will have to use only one hose and use the included valve cover to keep the second (hot) valve closed. The drain hose should be secure in a tub or clipped to a sink, otherwise the force of the water could make it jump out and flood the floor. (has happened to me) Fit: As I mentioned, this machine makes my small bathroom a little tighter to move around in, but the trade-off is more than worth it. Weight: It is too heavy to be lifted by one person, but it has wheels on one side on the bottom to move it around. Because I have to shift the machine for the hose to reach the sink every time I use it, I added a wheeled base with locking wheels underneath to make moving it a lot easier.

I’ve had this for about a month now. I live in an apartment. This machine has saved me money and trips to the shared laundry facilities. I’m not even sure if I’m allowed to have one in my apartment; I lost the move in papers, lol. However, I’m not worried about anyone hearing it, because it’s not that noisy at all. If the load is heavy or unbalanced, it will sound a lil crazy. Otherwise, the loudest thing is the beeps telling you it’s finished. I purchased a dolly to put it on. It was a bit of a struggle to put in on because one, I was by myself. Two, the handles on the sides aren’t in the same place. One is more to the front; the other the back. Weird. It’s not that heavy to lift though. It cleans my clothing really well. I can add 2 pairs of cargos, and 4 polos and a t shirt or 2, and they will all come out clean and spun almost completely dry! Same thing with 3 bath towels and some washcloths. I wash my queen sized sheets, flat, fitted and pillowcases in one go with no problem. One tip: try to ‘donut’ your clothing. Don’t just dump them in. Layer them in a ring around the drum as much as possible. It can hold a good amount of clothing but don’t overdo it. The water inlet hose was east to connect with the included adapter. It’s in my kitchen, so I only use cold water. You can actually use warm water if you want. However, make sure you only use hot water through the proper inlet. There’s two of them on the back of the machine. It says to use powder detergent, and it has a little holder for it, but I use liquid because that’s what I have on hand. As with any machine, a little goes a long way. Especially nowadays where liquid detergent is usually concentrated. I also use fragrance beads. They dissolve really well, no residue. The water fills up according to the load you select. If for any reason you need to stop the cycle, press the pause button first and let everything come to a stop. I feel this is better than opening the lid all sudden. I have mine draining into the sink. The hose has a hook for the sink edge, but I also just tie the hose to the inlet hose so it doesn’t spray wildly if it somehow unhooks off the edge. When storing the washing machine, I lay the ends of both hoses into the machine and leave the lid open so it can dry out. Overall, I feel this is a great investment for single person or two in an apartment with not so much space. If you treat it well, it will hold up.

Edit: January 27, 2026: clean clothes abound! Still no issues, still washing great! Haven’t had an accidental spill since I learned what to do and how to use it. Can’t recommend it enough! Edit: May/2025: still working GREAT! It’s probably paid for itself already, but I did have a leak in my kitchen sink so my apartment people put a new faucet in and now I’m unable to use the kitchen sink because the connections aren’t right. No worries, however! I was able to take my shower head/hose in along with the hose of the washer to my local hardware store and they found the correct fitting for me to hook them up that way so I’m able to wash again, just in the bathroom instead of the kitchen. A much smaller space, so that con is all on me. I’ve done quite a few loads and it’s still washing away and working great! Original review: This machine is a little beast! I delivered it to my grandpa’s house, which means I had to load it up into my car to get to my place, and that took two people. Getting it out and into my apartment took another two people, so make sure you have some help or some extra super strong muscles to move this thing on your own. Especially up and down stairs, as the box (which I tried cutting hand-holds into without success because it ripped) is awkward. I did order the dolly which was suggested to buy with it and I am glad I did. I would never be able to maneuver this thing around my apartment without wheels. As for the washing part: Extremely easy to set up. I did have a little trial-and-error with connecting it to my kitchen sink; the pressure would build and pop the connector piece off of the actual faucet. I noticed the “spout” on my sink had threads, so I took the spray-head off the spout and connected it that way, and to my surprise it worked. My fingers did get a little chopped up from having to tighten it (it still leaks slightly) so make sure you have a tool to help you tighten it down, but got through a couple of washes without the pressure forcing it off the faucet. I made the mistake already of not putting the drain hose over the sink, so my kitchen floor got a nice and deep unintentional clean lol. Only make that mistake once, and I’m sure you will remember like I did. As for the draining itself, it’s amazing. I’m so used to using a small 10lb Kuppet machine that I had to manually fill with water from my shower head, drain with a gravity drain, and then move the clothes by hand into the spinner which only fit half of the load at a time, so having a machine that does all the work in one go for me is grand. The water moves fast through the hose, and it took a bit of finagling to get the hose just right on the edge of my sink, but I do not fear it coming loose. I did try letting it drain into a 5 gallon bucket, but even the small load takes more than 5 gallons of water, so if you’re planning on draining that way, grab at least two or three Homer buckets. I was able to get a good 4 heavy hoodies in the ‘med’ load size (which I used for my first load to see how it did) and I absolutely could have fit more clothes in. I did about 20 garnments in the wash today (see the attached picture for two loads) and could have probably pushed it to 30 garnments and been fine. That’s two loads, people. MUCH more than what I’m used to. The con’s that I’ve found out as of now have been small. I need to play around more with the settings, but find everything works properly on the ‘wash, rinse, spin’/Medium/Cold/Heavy cycle. Button pressing does switch the settings, so before you hit start, make sure everything is where it needs to be. For some reason or another, the cycle washed and spun when I set it to a normal cycle, but didn’t do the rinse. It sat and drained for about 10 minutes without doing anything else, and acted like it was in a rinse cycle but didn’t have any water; the tub was just moving the clothes around dry, before I turned the power off and powered it back on, choosing just the ‘rinse and spin’ cycle to finish the load. So there are ways around it if the machine isn’t doing exactly what you want to do on the first setting. After today’s loads, it worked perfectly so I’m not sure if it was due to user error or something with the computer. It honestly could have been something I did. The spin cycle gets the clothes mostly dry. I put them on a clothes drying rack and about two hours later were able to fold them and put them away. As of right now, I do not feel the need to invest in one of those small portable dryers, as I’ve read it takes two hours to dry with those anyway. I live in a small-ish apartment (630 SqFt), and though this washer does take up a little bit of space, I plan on using it as my laundry hamper. I’ll throw my dirty clothes in at the end of the day, and when it gets to a proper load size, I’ll just wheel the machine out from where I’m keeping it in my bedroom and into the kitchen, do the wash, and put the machine away. I’m estimating it’ll be about twice a week, which is perfect for me. I mostly wear scrubs and leggings and t-shirts, so I don’t have many heavy or bulky loads to do, and it’ll save me some space with getting rid of my laundry baskets! This machine is very quiet. I couldn’t hear it from outside my apartment door, or outside from the sidewalk with my windows wide open. I even had music playing and still had to check to make sure everything was running because I thought a couple of times it had shut off. I think this machine is absolutely great and a huge step up from my little Kuppet that I’ve been using since 2018. It feels very well made, nothing cheap about it, even with the hoses that come with it. There’s not much I would change about it, except maybe find a way to make it a little lighter. If I ever need to get it out of my apartment again, I will definitely need some help. I’ll update in the future if anything about my review changes, but as of now I highly recommend it, especially for the price point! In total, my order came to about $380 including the dolly. If you can get it cheaper than that, you’re getting a STEAL!

My insignia washer died after 9 years. So I thought id try this one. Its fantastic. Cleans the clothes. Is more quiet and has a load balancer. Clothes come out about 80% dry. Easy to move around. I would definitely recommend this washer.
