Most homes in Singapore, whether an HDB flat or a condo, do not have room for a full-size washing machine in every unit, and tenants in shared housing often cannot install one at all. A portable washing machine solves that: no plumbing work, no fixed installation, and it tucks away in a corner or a storeroom when you are not using it.
We looked at 10 portable washing machines sold in Singapore, from $9 mini ultrasonic washers to a 9kg twin-tub that handles a full family load. Prices and buy links below were checked live on 5 October 2026.

How We Checked This List
We opened all 20 buy links on this page (Shopee Singapore and Lazada Singapore, two per product) on 5 October 2026 and confirmed every one still lands on a real, in-stock product page, not a dead listing or a search page.
Where a product has a well-known brand and model number, such as the two PowerPac units and the Tecno TWS9090, we cross-checked the live Shopee price against other Singapore retailers selling the same model and updated our stored price where it had moved. PowerPac PPW820 rose from $89.90 to $129, and Tecno TWS9090 rose from $278 to $299.
A few of the cheaper entries on this list are generic, unbranded listings (the kind of product that is re-listed under slightly different titles every few months), so we could not independently confirm their exact live price through a second source. We confirmed the listing itself is still active and in-stock, and we are telling you plainly rather than presenting a guessed price as current.

List of 10 Best Portable Washing Machines in Singapore
Here is the full list, in the order we would recommend them for most Singapore homes.
Best Overall: PowerPac PPW820 Portable Washing Machine
1 more point
The PowerPac PPW820 is the most familiar name on this list in Singapore, and for a 1.5kg portable washer, it earns that reputation by just doing wash, rinse and spin reliably without extra gimmicks.
It is the right pick if you want something you can set up in a bathroom corner, run a small load through, and trust to still be working in a year.
Best for Tight Spaces: Mini Folding Washing Machine
This generic folding washer trades capacity for size: it folds flat and tucks under a bed or into a cupboard when you are done, which matters more than raw power in a one-room rental or a small HDB bedroom.
At 2.6kg it can take a reasonable single load, but do not expect a proper spin cycle to leave clothes anywhere near dry.
Best With Spin Dry: Portable Washing Machine With Dryer
This is one of the few budget portables here with an actual spin-dry step built in, so clothes come out noticeably less wet than from a plain wash-only mini washer.
Its 2kg drum is small, so plan on two or three smaller loads rather than one big wash.
Best for Light Travel Use: Ultrasonic Mini Washing Machine
The Ultrasonic Mini Washing Machine is not really a washing machine in the traditional sense: there is no drum, no agitation, just ultrasonic vibration in a basin of water, plugged in over USB.
Treat it as a travel gadget for freshening lightly worn clothes, not a replacement for an actual wash.
Best for Larger Loads: PowerPac PPW920 Portable Washing Machine
The PowerPac PPW920 is the step up from the PPW820: a 3kg drum that handles a real two-person load, still with the same wash, rinse and spin sequence.
It costs more than most of the other portables here, but if you are washing for two people regularly, the extra capacity is worth it.
Best Heavy-Duty Portable: Tecno TWS9090
The Tecno TWS9090 is the odd one out on this list: a genuine twin-tub machine with a 9kg wash drum and a separate 4.5kg spin tub, closer to what you would find in a full-size semi-automatic washer than a travel gadget.
You do have to move clothes between the two tubs yourself, but in exchange you get a load size the other portables on this page cannot touch.
Best for RV and Travel: 8L Folding Portable Washing Machine
This 8-litre folding washer is built for the road: an RV, a campervan, or a short-term stay where you need to wash a few days' clothes without hauling them to a laundromat.
It is not trying to be your main washer; it is trying to be small enough to pack away when you are not using it.
Best Manual, No Power Needed: HaBabe Portable Electric Washing Machine
The HaBabe needs no power point at all, which is the whole appeal: a hand-crank drum you can use anywhere there is a sink, including places where a plug is simply not available.
The trade-off is effort. You are doing the work a motor would otherwise do, so it suits occasional use more than a daily wash.
Best for Studio Apartments: Xiaomi Moyu XPB08-F2 Portable Washing Machine
Xiaomi's Moyu XPB08-F2 is built for a studio or shared room: under 3kg capacity, compact enough to sit beside a sink, and light on water use.
It is sized for one person's regular laundry, not a household wash, and that is exactly the gap it is meant to fill.
Best for Baby Clothes: Moyu MINI01-M
The Moyu MINI01-M is sized specifically for baby clothes and small items: 1.1kg capacity, light enough to move around, and gentle on delicate fabric.
Do not expect it to handle adult clothing in any real volume; that is not what it is built for.
Buying Guide: What to Check Before You Buy a Portable Washing Machine in Singapore
A portable washing machine is a compromise by design, so match it to what you actually need rather than the biggest or cheapest option on the page.
- Capacity vs household size. Under 2kg suits one person's light laundry or baby clothes. Around 3kg covers a couple's regular wash. A twin-tub model like the Tecno TWS9090 (9kg wash drum) is closer to a real household load.
- Electric vs manual. Electric models are faster and need a power point near your sink or bathroom. Manual, hand-crank models like the HaBabe need no power at all, which suits a room with no plug nearby, but take more physical effort.
- Twin-tub vs single-drum. Twin-tub machines wash and spin in two separate tubs (you move the clothes by hand between them) and handle bigger loads faster. Single-drum portables are simpler to use but usually smaller.
- Water connection. Most of these units fill and drain manually with a hose into your sink, bathtub or floor trap. None of them need the pipework a full-size washing machine does, which is the entire point of buying one.
- What it will not do. None of these fully dry clothes the way a tumble dryer does. "Spin" features shorten drip-drying time; they do not replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth buying a portable washing machine?
Yes, if you live in a small HDB flat, a shared rental room, or anywhere you cannot install a full-size washer. It is worth less if you already have house laundry facilities and are only buying one to save on a laundromat trip occasionally; at that point a laundromat is usually cheaper over time.
Which brand is best for a portable washing machine?
PowerPac is the most established brand on this list in Singapore, with both the PPW820 and PPW920 widely stocked and reviewed. Xiaomi's Moyu line is the better-known option if you specifically want a compact single-person unit.
Which portable washing machine is the best?
For most Singapore households we recommend the PowerPac PPW820: it washes, rinses and spins, keeps water use reasonable, and costs $129, which is the middle of this list rather than the cheapest or most expensive.
What is the cheapest portable washing machine?
The Ultrasonic Mini Washing Machine at $9 is the cheapest on this list. It has no drum or agitation, just ultrasonic vibration in a basin of water, so treat it as a travel gadget for light soiling, not a wash for everyday clothes.
How long does a portable washing machine last?
Expect roughly 1 to 3 years of regular use from the budget electric models here, shorter if used daily, since their motors and seals are built for occasional or light loads rather than daily family laundry. Manual, motor-free units like the HaBabe have fewer parts to wear out.
How much does a portable washing machine cost?
On this list, prices range from $9 for a basic ultrasonic washer to $299 for the largest twin-tub model, with most mid-capacity electric portables sitting between $100 and $170.
