Recently, my brother moved into his tiny city apartment, laundry has become a real headache for him. Shared washing facilities were inconvenient, and the local laundromat wasn’t any better. He asked me to help him find a compact washing machine that could fit into his limited space and still handle a decent load of laundry.
During my research, I came across all sorts of options: single-tub portable washers, twin-tub machines, and even fancy mini-automatic ones. Some had excellent reviews but were outrageously priced, while others seemed affordable but had mixed feedback about durability or performance. For instance, I found some compact models that didn’t need a dedicated water inlet—super convenient for renters but I am not sure if they are worth it.
Have any of you dealt with this or bought a compact machine? If you have tried these smaller washing machines, do they actually hold up to regular use? And are there particular brands or models you would recommend that won’t break the bank but still get the job done? I would love to know if anyone has figured out the sweet spot between price, performance, and convenience.

Whatever you do, don’t go for just washer. I would suggest go for an automatic washing machine because they have washer and dryer combined and would take up little to no space.
