Portable washing machines

What advantages do portable washing machines have over traditional ones?

Most importantly, as their name suggests, they can be easily transported thanks to their light weight, unlike conventional washing machines, which are designed for fixed installation. Therefore, portable washing machines are ideal for getaways, excursions, and camping. They can also be used on a daily basis for short washes and small loads of laundry. In addition, they are an excellent option for student apartments or temporary stays. The advantages you will find are:

-Fast washes and ideal for disinfecting. Surely you have wanted to wear that shirt or those pants for a special occasion but forgot that they needed washing, and you are not going to run a washing machine for just one thing.
This is where our portable mini washing machines come into play to wash and disinfect those garments in a short time and consume just enough.

-Significantly reduce your electricity bills
Currently, electricity prices have skyrocketed, and every time we receive the bill at the end of the month, we are shocked. By using a portable washing machine, you will consume up to 50% less in terms of washes. 

-Lightweight and easy to transport
Do you need a temporary washing machine? Do you live alone and want a small, portable washing machine? All these needs will be met by our Tangarus washing machines.

You can easily move them to any room, move without worries, or even leave the appliance with a roommate or family member who needs it.

Are portable washing machines suitable for washing all types of clothing?

They are designed to wash small or lightweight items such as underwear, towels, and T-shirts. They are not recommended for large items such as blankets or bed linen, as their capacity is more limited.

Which is the best portable washing machine for camping for me?

We have four Tangarus washing machine models differentiated by their capacity, weight, and spin-drying capability.

If you are one of those who takes small camping trips on weekends or for a few days, we definitely recommend a smaller, lighter, and more practical model such as the Caravan portable mini washing machine. In case you go on long family camping trips, portable washing machines with spin-drying, having a greater capacity, will be the best option to have clean and dry clothes at all times.

How do portable washing machines work?

The operation is very basic. Most models have three controls corresponding to a wash timer, one to activate the drain, and another spin-drying timer (if they have the clothes drying functionality). 

Do you need a connection for a portable washing machine?

The Tangarus portable washing machines need a power outlet. As for water, some models can be connected directly to the tap, while others allow you to add it manually according to the user's needs.

Steps to follow to use a portable washing machine

1. Load the dirty clothes

Place the clothes in the washing machine without exceeding the maximum allowed capacity. It is a good idea to add a little fabric softener.

2. Fill with water

All these washing machines have a small hole where you can connect a hose to fill it with water. There is a marked line inside that indicates the maximum level. Use the water temperature appropriate for the type of fabric you want to wash. Add the detergent (liquid is better if possible) and set the wash time.

3. Drain the dirty water

Once the wash is finished, make sure that the drain nozzle is located in a suitable place to remove the dirty water. Activate the drain option and wait for it to drain completely.  The water can be easily drained into the sink, kitchen, or any permitted drain. Most models include a drain hose to make this task easier.

4. Do a second wash to rinse if necessary

If you think it is necessary, you can do a second wash with less detergent to finish rinsing your clothes. Repeat the previous steps until you achieve the desired result.

5. Dry the clothes (Portable washing machines with spin-drying)

Those washing machines that have a clothes drying function allow you to set the spin-drying time. Put your clean clothes in the spin-drying compartment and set the desired time to finish drying the clothes.
