The BENCHRY Portable Washing Machine is for small-space living. It’s a 16L manual washer and spin dryer that folds down to the size of a large shoebox. At 3.5 pounds, it’s built for apartments, RVs, and dorm rooms where a full-sized machine isn’t an option.

Operation is straightforward. You fill the flexible TPE tub, add detergent and a few garments, then manually agitate with the handle. The real utility is the separate spin basket. After washing, you transfer items to the basket and crank to extract a surprising amount of water. At 45 decibels, the spin cycle is quieter than most conversations. It’s practical for delicate items, workout clothes, or baby garments you’d rather not hand-wring.

This is a manual appliance, so it requires physical effort. It won’t replace your laundry day. Think of it as a targeted tool for quick washes, travel, or sensitive fabrics. The food-grade materials are a thoughtful touch, and the entire unit is easy to drain, dry, and stow in a closet.
