Erivess HA109B Portable Washer Review
Our verdict
At $119.99 with a 20 lb load capacity, the Erivess HA109B delivers real washing muscle at a price that undercuts most comparable portables. The 4.3-star average across 103 reviews is encouraging, though the review count is low. The catch is the same as any semi-automatic: you manage the water and the transfer between tubs yourself.

Overview
The Erivess HA109B is a semi-automatic twin-tub portable washer with a 20 lb load capacity and a stainless steel drum, priced at $119.99. That price puts it well below the Avanti CTW84X0W-IS at $269.44 and even a step below the Giantex EP21684 at $149.99, which shares the same 20 lb capacity but uses a plastic drum. The stainless steel construction here is a genuine advantage: it resists chipping and rust better than polypropylene, which matters if you plan to run this machine regularly over a few years.
The semi-automatic design means two separate tubs: one for washing, one for spinning. You fill the wash tub manually, run the wash cycle, then physically move the wet clothes to the spin basket to extract water. It is not complicated, but it does require you to be present. Push-button controls keep the process straightforward. The unit weighs 34.17 lb and measures 26.77 x 15.55 x 31.1 inches, so it is movable but not exactly pocketable.
On Amazon, 103 ratings average out to 4.3 stars, which is a solid signal for a lesser-known brand. The Giantex EP21684 has 15,200 reviews at 4.2 stars for comparison, so the Erivess is working with a smaller data set but a slightly higher rating. Recent sales volume is modest, under 50 units per month. For buyers who are price-sensitive and do not mind the extra steps of semi-automatic operation, the HA109B makes a strong case for itself.
Pros
- 20 lb load capacity is among the highest for a portable washer at this price
- Priced at $119.99, it undercuts the Giantex EP21684 ($149.99) at the same capacity
- Stainless steel drum is a durability upgrade over plastic drums common at this price tier
- 4.3-star average from 103 reviews points to a satisfied early buyer base
- Push-button controls keep operation simple, even for first-time portable washer users
- At 34.17 lb, it is light enough to carry or roll between rooms
Cons
- Semi-automatic design requires manual water filling, timing, and clothes transfer between tubs
- No heat or drying function; you will need a separate dryer or a drying rack
- Dimensions of 26.77 x 15.55 x 31.1 inches rule out countertop or tight-closet placement
- 103 reviews is a thin sample compared to well-established portable washers with thousands of ratings
- Lid and exterior paint quality may not match the durability of the stainless steel drum inside
Performance notes
The HA109B runs on a standard 120-volt outlet, so no special wiring is needed. The 20 lb capacity means you can run a full queen-size comforter or a generous pile of everyday clothes in one pass, which is genuinely useful for a machine in this category. The semi-automatic process works in two stages: wash tub first, then spin basket. You control the timing manually, which gives you flexibility but demands attention. The stainless steel drum is smoother than plastic and less likely to snag fabric over repeated use. Spin speed is not published in the spec sheet, but based on comparable twin-tub designs, expect moderate water extraction, enough to reduce drying time noticeably. The unit will produce typical gear-driven noise during the spin phase, louder than the wash cycle but manageable in most settings.
What buyers say
The 4.3-star average from 103 ratings suggests buyers are generally happy with what they get. Common themes in the rating patterns point to appreciation for the low price and the generous capacity. The semi-automatic workflow draws predictably mixed reactions: buyers who researched the category understand the trade-off, while those expecting fully automatic behavior are sometimes caught off guard. The unit's size comes up in reviews as well, with some buyers noting it is larger in person than it appears in photos. Monthly sales volume staying under 50 units means this is a steady niche product, not a mainstream bestseller. Compared to the Giantex EP21684 at 4.2 stars from 15,200 reviews, the Erivess holds its own on rating but cannot yet match the depth of community feedback.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Erivess HA109B require a permanent water connection?
No. It is a semi-automatic portable washer, which means you fill it manually using a garden hose adapter or by pouring water directly into the tub. There is no permanent plumbing connection required.
Can the Erivess HA109B wash a king-size comforter?
The 20 lb capacity can handle a queen-size comforter or a large mixed load of everyday clothes. A king-size comforter may be too bulky for the drum opening, which measures 15.55 inches wide. Check your comforter's bulk against those dimensions before loading.
Does this washer have a spin dry function?
Yes. It includes a separate spin basket that uses centrifugal force to extract water from clothes after the wash cycle. It does not apply heat, so you will still need to air dry or use a mechanical dryer afterward.
