Full Review:

Front-load washing machines can be a good investment but they can cost quite a lot and consume too much space in your laundry area. For small homes, portable washing machines are ideal. They are commonly available in top-load models just like BLACK & DECKER BPWM09W, the best portable washing machine of 2021.

Unlike other units our SolidSmack Household Appliance and Tool Research Team have tested before, BLACK & DECKER BPWM09W only comes with a total capacity of .9 cu. ft. This allows it to be as compact as possible with dimensions measuring 17.7” x 18.1” x 31.5”. Despite its size, however, it can be as powerful as other bigger top-load washing machines in the market.

It offers ample controls from its 5 cycle programs including Heavy, Gentle, Normal, Rapid, and Soak. While it is no question that its Heavy and Normal programs can give you a truly satisfying performance, its Rapid program exceeded our reviewers’ expectations. With only 19 minutes in this cycle, the washing machine was able to remove the stains we applied on fabrics.

On the other hand, apart from its Wash and Rinse modes, it also has a Spin mode that will deliver 900 RPM. In our test for a combination of clothing items made of thick and thin fabrics, the clothes came out damp-dry (especially in shirts). We also love the model’s Automatic Imbalance Detection that aids in the spinning of clothes and prevents the wobbling of the tub. This can also explain the quiet performance of the machine regardless of the mode selected.

It is also the best portable washing machine in terms of convenience. Besides the intuitive controls, the overall setup and usage of BLACK & DECKER BPWM09W is a dream. It is a plug-and-play model with wheels on one side for easy mobility and it only uses cold water to function. Once the hose is attached to a spigot and the power cord is plugged, it can work instantly. Just select the water level you need and it will automatically do the job for you. The same goes for its Rinse mode. As a plus, it even comes with a 24-hour delay start time feature!
