Portable washing machine for microfibers?

[SwirlmarkIII]

I’d only have 20 or so to wash at a time, and I’m not going to introduce all those chemicals into my home machine. Anyone tried something like this? Wheel it out when you need it?

I’d just be concerned on how clean they’d get your dirty or towels with chemicals in them. Got a garage? Can get a cheap top loader for a few bucks more.

I do and I just don’t want to take up the space for one, I’ve been offered a couple for free but I can’t justify a full size machine to use once a month. The portable seemed cool because it could be unhooked and tucked away

Yeah i get it but i would just wonder if it would get clean. I spend as much or more on MF towels than close. Harder to get LSP out of a towel than it is dirt out of clothes.

Pick up a used washer from a garage sale and set it in the garage.

I’ve seen small washing machines meant for apartment dwellers you can hook up to water. Usually a couple hundred bucks on amazon. They’re probably the size you’d want.

They use agitators in them, so I’ve considered getting one for my towels. Ever since their inception I’ve hated the garbage that is HE washing machines, and I don’t see my opinion changing any time soon based on the way their performance has developed.

Could be worth looking in to.

I've seen decent used washers go for as low as $25 to $50.

The best part about old washers is if you find a good one, they are simple and cheap to maintain and (generally) will last.

The trick is finding a garage sale that has one. I’ve never seen one offered at one. Maybe some place like a Goodwill store?

Not the newer ones though. $500 models anyway.

Our POS Whirlpool (circa 2016) has needed a new pump ($44) and a new electronic selector unit (the thing behind the dial you turn for $55) .

Those were the part costs for me online, not a repairman.

If you ever take these machines apart, you quickly notice how cheaply made they are, and that a $300 lawnmower has 10X the engineering and ruggedness.

Just another ploy forced onto the unknowing public..

Damn......... Sorry guys. This "Stay At Home" order has my wandering. LOL

Wow my Whirlpools from 2008 are holding up. The thing is only one person(me) is using them.

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Whirlpool appliance from my experience. GE on the other hand, no way.
