Designed for small spaces like apartments, dorms, or for travel.
Ideal for washing small loads of light clothing such as baby clothes, underwear, socks, and t-shirts.
Typically has a capacity of around 6-8 lbs.
Simple to operate with usually only 2 knobs to control wash time and wash/spin functions.
Some models include a drain basket and a shoe brush.
Wash cycles can be quick, ranging from 15-40 minutes.
May not have a powerful spin cycle, which can leave clothes wetter than a full-sized machine.
