Dezitrek Portable Washer Review
Our verdict
The Dezitrek Portable Washer costs $69.99, weighs 1.9 lb, and holds 4.4 lb of laundry in a manual single-cycle design. A 4.3-star average from 418 reviews and over 100 monthly purchases suggest it genuinely satisfies the narrow group of buyers it was built for: travelers, campers, or dorm residents washing a handful of items at a time.

Singles or frequent travelers who wash a few small items daily and need a machine they can pack, carry, or stash without effort. Price and portability are the two deciding factors here.
Skip if
You wash more than a few items at once, expect automatic filling or spinning, or plan to use this as your primary washer. There is no spin cycle, which means clothes exit the drum soaking wet.

Overview
The Dezitrek is about as stripped down as a washing machine gets. At 1.9 lb and $69.99, it is the lightest and second-cheapest option in this comparison behind the Danisse KU213. The 4.4 lb load capacity handles a few socks, a couple of t-shirts, or a small set of delicates in a single pass.
Operation is manual. You fill the drum with water from a hose or bucket, advance the knob through the agitation phase, then drain and repeat for a rinse. There is no automatic spin cycle, meaning clothes leave the machine wet and require hand-wringing or a separate spin dryer. This takes more involvement than even a semi-automatic washer. What you get in return is extreme lightness and a price point that is hard to match.
The rating story is encouraging for such a minimal product. A 4.3-star average from 418 reviews compares favorably to the Pyle PUCWM11 (3.6 stars) and Pyle PUCWM23 (3.6 stars), both of which are larger and more expensive. Over 100 monthly purchases indicate consistent real buyer demand, not just occasional curiosity. The Dezitrek appears to have found a clear audience that understands its limitations and is satisfied with what it delivers within them.
Pros
- Priced at $69.99, far below most portable washers
- 1.9 lb weight makes it genuinely portable for travel, camping, or tight storage
- 4.3-star rating from 418 reviews is strong for an ultra-budget manual washer
- Over 100 units purchased monthly reflects consistent active demand
- Simple knob control requires no programming or learning curve
- Compact enough to operate on a countertop, in a bathtub, or outdoors
Cons
- 4.4 lb capacity accommodates only a few small items per cycle
- No spin cycle; clothes exit wet and require hand-wringing or separate equipment
- Single manual cycle: no temperature adjustment, no rinse count variation
- Plastic drum may wear faster than stainless steel over extended use
- Not suitable as a primary washer for regular adult household laundry
Performance notes
The 4.4 lb capacity translates to roughly two adult t-shirts, a few pairs of socks, or several small delicate items. The manual cycle requires you to add water, run the knob through agitation, drain, add fresh water for a rinse, agitate again, and then drain. Each phase takes a few minutes of active handling plus soak time. No spin function means clothes must be wrung by hand to remove most of the water before hanging. At 45 dB if the Dezitrek is quiet by portable-washer standards; in a small apartment, it will not disturb adjacent rooms. The 1.9 lb body offers no stability during agitation, so it can shift on a counter unless secured. Total active time per small load: roughly 10 to 15 minutes, not counting dry time.
What buyers say
A 4.3-star average from 418 reviews is a genuinely positive outcome for a manual-cycle budget washer. The 100+ monthly purchases indicate this is not a novelty item; buyers are returning to it for a specific purpose and appear to find it adequate. The review rating outpaces both Pyle models in this comparison despite the Dezitrek being simpler and cheaper. The pattern suggests the main buyer is someone with minimal laundry needs who chose this over hand-washing entirely. Buyers who find it unsatisfying are likely those who expected more capacity or automation than the specs describe.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Dezitrek Portable Washer have a spin-dry function?
No. This is an agitator-only washer. After the wash and rinse cycles, you drain the water and remove clothes manually. To extract more moisture, you can hand-wring items or use a separate portable spin dryer.
How much laundry fits in the Dezitrek's 4.4 lb capacity?
Four point four pounds of dry laundry is roughly two adult t-shirts, four to five pairs of socks, or a similar small mix. It is best for daily washing of a few items rather than accumulating a week of laundry.
Can the Dezitrek be used without connecting to a faucet?
Yes. Because operation is manual, you can pour water directly into the drum from a bucket or pitcher. This makes it usable in locations without running water, such as campsites or off-grid accommodations, which is a practical advantage over automatic machines.
