Capacity is where this twin tub separates from the compact end of the category. The wash tub measures 15.5 by 14 inches and takes 18 pounds, while a 9 inch spin tub handles 8 pounds, driven by 280W and 140W motors respectively. Loading is easy because the lid opens to 42 inches of clearance, so reaching the bottom of the tub does not mean stooping under a half-raised cover. An enduring pulsator does the agitating, moving underwear, socks, T-shirts, and pants through the water without being harsh on them. Control sits behind hidden knobs, keeping the panel clean while still allowing washing time, intensity, and spin timing to be set for a personalized cycle. A see-through acrylic lid means the wash and spin cycles are both visible without stopping anything to check. Water goes in through a 4-foot inlet hose with an adjustable metal clip that adapts to different faucets, and out through the built-in drain pump, which lifts up to 39 inches, or one meter, along the 4.4-foot drain hose. A detachable lint filter keeps maintenance to a rinse. The spin tub safety cover stops clothes popping out mid-spin, handles and cable management make the 34.5-pound, 27 by 16 by 31.5 inch body easy to move and store, and no assembly is required at home or on the go.
