Works just as you would expect. Clothes go in wet and come out dry. I would definitely buy again and encourage anyone going to the laundry mat to invest in one. I purchased this with the Haier HLP21N portable washer. Both are fantastic. Sonya Portable Compact Small Laundry Dryer Apartment Size 110vstainless Steel Drum Transparent Lid 8.8lbs Capacity/2.65cu.ft.



In this case less is more. Fits perfectly in the closet. Fast and easy set up and the lint filter catches everything. We use the indoor dryer vent kit with it, but there is never any lint in it. We really only use it because we feel like we should since we bought it.


I do recommend setting it up near a window because it can heat up the house pretty good.

Stop thinking about it and buy today. I can't believe I put off purchasing this for so long.



This thing is great. def worth the price and absolutely does the job. after my wash i put the stuff into this and go to bed. with the indoor vent kit it also helps keep the house warmer. the only issue i see is during the summer but i think i can off set that by making a window vent kit for it.

In the apartments we moved into, there are washer hookups, but no dryer hookups. This little dryer has saved me countless trips to the overcrowded, overpriced laundry facilities at our complex. We bought the indoor vent kit as well and we couldn't be more pleased with it! :)

We have 3 studio apartments and have supplied each with this little gem. Ours and our tenants all work perfectly and take up hardly any space at all. I sure wish they had this size available when I was going to school, would have been nice for the dorm!

Sits great on a table ~ best part is that it doesn't have to be vented to outside. No more trips to the Laundromat . . . I partially dry everything then finish drying in the dryer ; )

Nice product for apartment and dries pretty good. I would recommend this to friends because it saves time and space.

Performs great and would recommend to any apartment dweller who wants to save money by not using laundry rooms at a 1.75 per ereeeee

My wife loves this dryer. It is quite, dries clothes very well. It does take a little longer than a large dryer, but it weighs less than 50 lbs.
Very easy to install and compact.
This is what I recommend for an apartment size dryer that can't be vented outside. I works for me, okay? Dundas Jafine TDIDVKZW ProFlex Indoor Dryer Vent Kit with 4-Inch by 5-Foot ProFlex Duct



The two parts of the water-container/lint bucket are very difficult to snap together, especially if one has arthritic hands.. Seems like a rotate and lock mechanism would be much better - the kind of mechanism that is on food processor tops.

PERFECT! The site wants a bunch more words for reviews but I have nothing else to say about it. Its PERFECT!

Got for the sonya portable compact laundry dryer, the plastic outlet exhaust vent that came with the dryer was abit tiny & more of a ovular shape. But not matter I was able to just slide it over & down the plastic vent & it still did the job.

My dad put this in my basement where my laundry is. My ducts go outside but they are vented up and outside and full of dust and lint..it took all day to dry one load of laundry. But since this.. just 45 minutes. Im so glad I got another one. Plus it helps put moisture back in the house and heat. Since I heat with gas I don't have to turn up my gas so much or often.

Attached this to the dryer and filled it with water. It worked very well to add humidity to the room. The hose is long enough to place the container on top of the dryer.

Perfect product! It has produced the exact service I was looking for. This wonderful little dryer vent saved a lot of money and work on my house. So very pleased!

Due to Front Door extended out, Dryer Vent had to be located, previously used the one from Ace Hardware, but this one far surperior, Better Built and much better wall Bracket Design, the only issue hard to see the water level but I made a Dipstick out of a Wooden Dowel, Problem Solved. Liked this product so much even bought a Second One.

An excellent solution for spaces without a vent! I have a space for a washer and dryer laundry center but no vent. Bought this dryer vent kit and was really, really surprised with how small it was.I agree it feels a little flimsy but it works like a charm. I think other people are experiencing a lot of lint problems because they don't change the water every time. I change the water and clean the lint filter after every load and haven't had any lint problems. Not surprisingly, I'm harnessing a lot of heat and humidity, but I don't mind.

so i bought this to replace my inline flappy door dryer vent which caused more grief than anything else by constantly falling apart. Im using this in the winter to put moisture back into the air and help lower my heating bills. It would be better if there was a mesh type screen with every vent to catch all dryer felt bunnies prior to flying out but that can be easily retrofitted.

Works as advertised, I am using a pre-filtered dryer with it though... I could imagine a lot of lint going into the air even with this if you were using a full size normal dryer.
This machine is AWESOME!! I handwash a lot of things to avoid the laundromat and this expedites the process so well! removes about the same sort of stains as handwashing ( deoderant build up requires pretreatment) and is definitely a quick way to keep up with gym clothes and work dresses. I do use garment bags on everything with sleeves I care about or waist ties, seems to work well. Doesn't do a great job taking stains out of towels, but you can wash a few (3 bath and twoish hand towels) at a time and Ive done a full set of queen sheets at at a time. Does this replace the laundromat? no. Does this make it so I can go far less frequently to wash my big heavy things? Yes. Panda Small Compact Portable Washing Machine(6-7lbs Capacity) with Spin Dryer


Two notes on use: 1) use half the soap you're thinking of using even if you're already being SUPER conservative. 2) the dryer disc needs to be bent INTO the spinner, not set on top between the canister and the machine proper( I didnt understand that and now it looks like a dog got to mine, but it still works fine)

Loving the washer an drier! Super fast washing and makes it half dry in 5 mins then hang dry it. I've done 4 loads, very happy with this purchase!!



if you live in a small space this is an ideal washing machine. connects to the kitchen faucet and agitates like a full size machine. it is fairly quiet and the spin cycle is very efficient. I would recommend this machine. The price is great also.


Alert to underestimate it with it's size. It's very Powerful and simple. Although, It needs extra procedure to move from washer to dryer.



All of your reviews have been great. Making me sure that what I thought was to good to be true, is. I am a pizza delivery driver, which means I'm almost always covered in a layer of grease. And there is no laundry here and christ do I hate the laundry mat. I was about to buy one of the portable washers when I saw this following your reviews. So this is a great day, I mean night. Thank you all

first off--this machines overall cleaning power is superior to most conventional machines, period. I noticed that it gets my clothes cleaner than any ive ever used in my life!
Its easy to use, very user friendly, very portable (light enough to be moved around at will..even if you 're pregnant). rust proof, dent proof (plastic exterior)
I just can't say enough good things about this machine. They are hard t find too, for some reason. If you can't find one here, get on ebay..in ebay UK they do sell these as well
I live on a boat, so i am very familiar with every kind of compact washing machine that is made, to date. i've used them all, and this one is my fave because it has an attached spin dryer. love it.
(spin dryer, however, is a tricky word...it spins the items so that they are not sopping wet ,b ut, it doesnt necessarily "Dry" them...they still take at least a few hours to line dry --in San Francisco area anyway--or you can put them in a dryer if you have one. . but they do not come out of the spin dryer "dry"..

Fantastic little washer for an apartment. Doesn't take up much space. Was easy to connect to my bathroom sink for filling, and from the same spot, it can drain into the shower. Gets clothes very clean. Beats the laundromat!

Cleans great & spin dries better than the laundromat machines. If you live in an apartment where you can't hook up to the plumbing it's the only way you can avoid the laundromat. The only problem is the lint filter - it will not stay in & so is useless.
We have yet to have any complaints about this washer, aside from issues that are to be expected. It is easy to load clothes in a way that will unbalance the spin cycle, but the best way to avoid this is to make sure you use washer bags, which can be purchased at a variety of places, such as Amazon, Walmart, or Dollar Tree. It's a terrific little washer, especially when paired with Charlie's Soap detergent.Haier HLP21N 6.6-Pound Pulsator Wash with Stainless Steel Tub



Bought this machine 4 years ago and wash 4-6 loads a week. I store it in a small closet and roll it out to the kitchen when it is wash day. It did not come with wheels but I bought a wheel base at the hardware store and set it on this.This method works well. Be careful about the rinse water - make sure the tubing is angled correctly in the sink or you'll have water on the floor.



Outside of those two things this is a very durable washing machine that cleans clothes well. Don't overload and give it a chance to be the great little washer it is.



This little washer kicks ass!
The reviews for this product were very informative and useful when deciding to purchase it.
Assembly was easy. It arrived in good shape.



Once you get to know how many garments to wash at a time it washes fine. Polar fleece seems to be the heaviest weight when wet, (heavier than towels). Could be me but, I had to adjust the wheels so the unit was not plumb to get the washer tub centered in the machine (my floor is not level though). This helped to keep the load and washer tub balanced.



I know I have overloaded the machine when the pulsator makes a clicking noise when reversing direction, so I simply remove one item and plop it in the sink next to the washer.
Very happy and feel this washer should last quite a while.

This machine holds more laundry than I thought. It fits into my travel trailer easily. No more hot laundry mats at campgrounds. Fresh clothes after a day of hiking, biking and sight seeing. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY CAMPER!

This washer has saved me so much money over the years and after 6 years of owning it, it has been worth every cent! The set up takes a couple of minutes and it's overall pretty quiet (no complaints from neighbors!). The only issue I've ever had is using too much detergent and some water overflowing from the bottom of the washer. But as long as you use a small amount of detergent and don't overstuff it with clothes, it works without any problems and clothes come out clean.

Very good machine for small apartments. It works perfectly. I can recommend this model for everybody who has needs in a small volume of a wash.

The portable and compact 1.0 cu. ft. washer has 3 electric controlled water levels and 3 wash cycles for the perfect load every time. The stainless steel tub holds up to 6 pounds of clothes, which is perfect for baby clothes, delicates or a smaller wash. The quick connect sink adaptor is easy and included with your installation kit. When you're all done, just roll the washer away into a closet with included casters.Haier HLP21N Pulsator 1-Cubic-Foot Portable Washer



This think is freaking awesome. So long laundry piling up, so long spending my Sunday afternoon at the laundry mat. This little machine works like a charm! I couldn't be happier. Clothes come out super clean, takes little effort to hook it up, and tucks neatly away in a closet when you are done. I never could of dreamed I would be so delighted with something so mundane, but after going to the laundry mat for 7 years this is a dream come true. I wish I could rate it 6 stars.



Those complaining about leaks are not using teflon tape. It is mandatory, but this is the case with any metal to metal fittings. The quick release coupling is awesome and you can have the machine ready to go from closet to washing in 2 minutes.





I put everything in it. It is more than enough for my wives clothes, babies clothes and mine. Typical loads I run

2 kings size sheets and pillow cases
6 mens dress shirts at a time
2-3 pairs of pants and a couple of shirts
4 towels
pretty much sort a weeks worth of clothes and you will probably have about 3-4 loads.

I think Tide Pods are probably the best for this machine. 1-2 seem to work fine. When we use Dreft for the babies clothes I use about 1/2 of what I would for a large machine.

Can't say enough about this remarkable little machine.



This thing has really improved my life, and for that I am grateful. However, I do wish that it had a few more settings (like for a prerinse and a fabric softener dispenser). But for the price, it is really the best value out there. I had the Panda and that worked just fine, but this is more convenient and effective.



Great addition to an apartment that had everything but laundry facilities. The faucet connection has proven reliable and with the included casters it easily rolls into a nearby closet for storage. Compact yet washes a nice sized load, would not work for comforters or other large items, just basic clothes washing. Highly recommended.



So far so good...no leaks no loud noises product does its job. I attached all hoses by hand not a single leak. Don't mix clothes wash white with white....dilute your bleach with water before add. I would recommend this product to any one.We will see how it holds up. I wash 5 large towels one load...or 4 pairs of jeans. It is pretty quiet..perfect for a new mom or cloth diapers or apartment.
