Portable Danby Washers
Made around your lifestyle
Sometimes our living spaces are not large enough to accommodate a full size washer, but going to the Laundromat, dropping quarter after quarter into machines, hauling laundry back and forth, sitting in the heat and humidity that is generated by the number of washers and dryers can be a real pain. A portable washer is a great alternative to this inconvenience.
There are two portable washing machines that are currently on the market that are garnering a great deal of attention. These washers are small, easy to store and, best of all, portable with reviews that are consistently positive from satisfied owners.
Both of these washers are manufactured and distributed by Danby. They are the DWM99W and the DTT420W. While these two washers are similar, there are some differences between the two and it is up to the consumer to determine which washer best suits their needs.

Customer Reviews
You can read all you want about any product, but that really means little until you hear real reviews from real customers. Owners of these Danby washing machines are very pleased with their products.
Reviews consistently rave about these washing machines' cleaning ability, the fact that they are very quiet when operating and the instruction manual that is very easy to follow.
In fact, it is this last feature that is constantly commented on my customers in reviews. The user's manual is very easy to use and follow with simple, detailed instructions.
The complaints that customers record have to do mainly with the hoses. Some customers say that they must elevate the hoses and others say that the apparatus for attaching the washer to the faucet is a little difficult to maintain sometimes.
They also say that the draining hoses would be better if they were a little larger, but even the customers who mention these things still rave over their washer and say that they are very pleased.
Washing machines come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and models, but if you are looking for space saving, energy efficient, easy to use washers that won't cost you an arm and a leg, you could stand to at least take a look at these two danby washers. You never know, you may be surprised. One of them could be just what the doctor ordered.
