Ok, so here we go... I am looking for a portable washer that is decent sized and fairly easy to use. I stay at my Girlfriend's apartment a few days a week and of course we both generate dirty laundry. I have a small (really small functionally) Haier portable washer I took over so we wouldn't have to use the laundry room (at $1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry, and 2 washers 2 dryers for 8 apartments) and wouldn't have to spend our Sundays at my house doing laundry all day. It does work, but is actually a pain to use because it has a few issues, and holds very little (0.9 cf tub). I was hoping she would be able to move it, hook it up, and use it, but that just isn't happening (because of issues it needs near constant attention) and it doesn't have wheels, which makes hauling it from the closet to the bathroom a pain even for me.
I'm looking for something easy to move (preferably on wheels), must be relatively quiet as we aren't sure if we are allowed to have it, and needs to fit in her front closet (which I can get the dimensions of, honestly a full size washer may fit but wouldn't work for the situation). I would love to be able to wash a set of full size lightweight sheets in one load! Water use doesn't matter, we don't pay for water, but must be fully automatic or very straightforward. Looking to spend as little as possible and still get clean clothes! If it wasn't for the noise I'd look for a 24" Whirlpool direct drive, add a faucet adapter and some locking wheels and call it a good day! But, we do have a grouchy old man behind us and we share both bathroom and kitchen walls, and I guarantee he would be the first to complain if we got a noisy washer. This may not happen right away, but taxes are coming back soon, and if I have enough left after bills get caught up, I'd like to make it happen! We have a small folding drying rack, or we can use the laundry room dryers. Portable dryer would be nice but probably not happening as we don't have anywhere to put it.
