The installation process of the Comfee Portable Washing Machine is pretty straightforward. All you need is a water source and a drain. The washer comes with a water inlet hose and a drain hose. Simply connect the hoses to the appropriate faucets and you’re good to go.

First Impressions

I was impressed with the overall look of the machine when I first took it out of the box. However, I did notice some mild dents when it was delivered.

The black and grey color combo looked sleek and modern.

I was surprised at how quiet the machine was when it was running. I also like that it has a spin-dry feature that removes the excess water from clothes after the wash cycle is complete.

The control panel is user-friendly and easy to use. Also, the buttons are clearly labeled, so you can easily select the cycle you want.

The display panel shows you the time remaining for the cycle to finish, so you can plan your laundry accordingly.

The only downside I can think of is that the machine doesn’t have a built-in heater. This means that you can’t use hot water to wash your clothes.

However, this is not a deal-breaker for me since I usually use cold water to wash my clothes anyways.

The length of the hose was shorter than I expected, but it wasn’t a big deal since the washing machine is kept near the sink. But it may be a problem for those who have a sink located far away from the washer.

Despite these few drawbacks the overall looks, color, and feel are good.

Thoughts on Using Comfee Portable Washing Machine

I used the Comfee Portable Washing Machine for about more than months before writing this review. Overall, I am happy with the machine until now.

It was easy to use and very quiet when it was running. I also like the fact that it is energy efficient and has a child lock feature.

Having said that, I did not see a major drop in my electricity bills but it did drop by 10%. Not sure if that was due to this washer OR I became efficient 🙂

The delay option does not make sense as it requires your presence at home to turn on the water supply. So, if you are not going to be home, you cannot use this option.

Also, The drum is smaller than expected. I have a family of four and usually have to wash our clothes in two batches but the cleaning quality is great.

Furthermore, after using it for a little over 2 months I have noticed Increased noise which is a little annoying. I did not notice any increase in vibrations, so Comfee has done a good job to keep vibration in check.

Lastly, I had a Hard time finding a suitable stand, maybe it’s only me.

What Comfee or Amazon can improve is the delivery standards, when the product was delivered I did notice mild dents.

Also, the packaging was poor as I noticed broken cardboard at the corners.
