Giantex GX10587US-DK-GX-PF Portable Washer Review
Our verdict
The Giantex GX10587US-DK-GX-PF is a budget semi-automatic portable washer at $121.49 with a 17.6 lb capacity. The 3.9-star average from 119 reviews is decent but the low review count and absent monthly sales data mean there is not much to go on. Occasional use fits the profile; daily reliance is a gamble.

Budget shoppers who need a portable washer for light or infrequent loads, are comfortable managing the manual fill-and-drain process, and cannot justify spending more on a fully automatic model.

Overview
The Giantex GX10587US-DK-GX-PF is a semi-automatic, top-load portable washer priced at $121.49. Its 17.6 lb capacity sits just below the 20 lb of the Giantex EP21684, and the footprint of 14 x 22.5 x 25.5 inches keeps it compact enough for a closet or corner. The polypropylene drum and knob controls are straightforward. White and black finish is simple and unobtrusive.
The semi-automatic process here is familiar: you fill the wash tub manually, run the wash and rinse cycles using the dial timers, then transfer wet clothes to the spin basket. Draining happens through the included hose. No automatic fill or pump-out. It takes more involvement than a fully automatic machine, but the process is manageable once you establish a routine.
The 3.9-star rating from 119 reviews is reasonably positive, though 119 ratings is not a large enough sample to make confident predictions about long-term reliability. Recent sales velocity appears to be essentially zero, which raises a practical question about stock and support. By comparison, the Giantex EP21684 carries 15,200 reviews at 4.2 stars for $149.99 and demonstrates strong ongoing demand. The Pyle PUCWM11 at $89.99 with 3.6 stars and 174 reviews is cheaper but lower rated. The GX10587US-DK-GX-PF lands in a defensible price-capacity spot, but the slim buyer base is a real uncertainty.
Pros
- Low price at $121.49 puts it within reach of very budget-constrained buyers
- 17.6 lb capacity handles a meaningful load, above what countertop units offer
- 14 x 22.5 x 25.5-inch dimensions fit in tight apartment corners or RV spaces
- Freestanding design needs no permanent plumbing or dedicated hookup
- Polypropylene drum is lightweight, reducing overall machine weight for portability
Cons
- Semi-automatic operation requires you to fill, time, and drain manually
- 3.9 stars from only 119 reviews offers limited confidence in long-term reliability
- No recent monthly sales recorded, suggesting this model may have low current availability or demand
- Knob controls offer no preset cycles or programmable options
- No energy or water efficiency rating provided
Performance notes
The GX10587US-DK-GX-PF has a 17.6 lb load capacity, which is useful. You can wash a moderate pile of everyday clothes, a set of bath towels, or a lightweight blanket in one session. The semi-automatic design puts you in charge of timing: you dial in the wash duration, then the rinse and spin. The polypropylene drum keeps machine weight down but does not match stainless steel for fabric gentleness. Wattage and spin speed are not published, so drying performance is hard to quantify. Based on comparable semi-automatic twin-tub washers, spin extraction should be adequate for reducing drying time, but clothes will not come out nearly dry. The knob controls are mechanically simple and unlikely to fail from electronic issues, which is one argument for a basic design at this price.
What buyers say
At 3.9 stars from 119 reviews, the rating pattern leans positive but is not decisive. The sample is too small to clearly separate reliable machines from early-production flukes. Common themes at this rating level in semi-automatic portables typically involve appreciation for price and capacity alongside frustration with the manual steps and occasional build quality questions. The absence of recent purchase activity is a notable signal: it suggests this particular Giantex variant is not currently moving units, which may reflect competition from the EP21684 within the same brand family, a more popular and better-reviewed option at only $28 more.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Giantex GX10587US-DK-GX-PF fully automatic?
No. It is semi-automatic, which means you manually fill the wash tub with water, set the wash timer using the dial, and then physically move clothes from the wash tub to the spin basket. There is no automatic fill or drain pump.
What is the capacity of this portable washer?
The load capacity is 17.6 lb. That covers a moderate load of everyday laundry: shirts, jeans, socks, and similar items. Bulky items like comforters may be too large for the drum opening.
Does this washer need a permanent water connection?
No. It is freestanding and portable. You fill it manually with a hose or bucket and drain via the included drain hose, which you run into a sink, tub, or floor drain.
