Panda Portable Washer: Design
As said, Panda PAN6320W has a unique top load design. The whole body is made of plastic, but it delivers high performance. That is, it is extremely sturdy and is perfect for daily use. Thanks to the plastic material used, this portable washing machine is incredibly lightweight. It weighs only 60 pounds. So, you can easily move it around the house or load it on your vehicle for easy transport. The product dimensions are 20 x 19 x 34 inches. It is only 19 inches wider. So, it can only fit a few lighter clothes at a time. But it stays true to its design and portability. Since it is a top load washing machine, there is a semi-removal plastic lid, which you can easily open and close. The lid is transparent, and you can see the clothes spinning inside when the machine is running.
There is an easy-to-operate control panel with a small LED display on the top that comes with different programs and settings. The display shows how many minutes or hours you have set the machine to spin.
The buttons are a little on the tough side. You may have to put extra pressure to press the button and change the settings according to your washing needs.
Inside, there is a stainless steel tub with a maximum capacity of 10 lbs. The tub is of high quality and delivers optimal performance.
For water connection, there is a provision for a water inlet where you can connect a standard faucet. The package also includes an inlet hose and a quick adapter for connecting with the water inlet.
