Our Laundry Machine

The Project: Making laundry time easier and cheaper

The why
​We want to be as self-sufficient as possible and to avoid spending lots of $$$ for laundry.  In 2022, it cost us $1.75 USD for a wash load and $1.75 USD for a dryer load (which usually needed two runs).

The cost
We bought our machine from Amazon for $289. 

The result
Happiness!  Our laundry machine is perfect for washing all of our clothes.  The wash takes 9 minutes a load and the spin takes 3 minutes.  The clothes come out almost dry from spinning so air drying only takes a few hours.  Having a portable laundry machine has definitely become one of our must-haves on board.

And energy use - well it is pretty lightweight in how much power it consumes.  WE don't even blink an eye on using the washing machine a few times a week, for all of our laundry.
