Zyerch XQB201A-GOLD6 Portable Washer Review
Our verdict
The Zyerch XQB201A-GOLD6 is a fully automatic portable washer with a 2.0 cubic foot capacity at $207. Its 3.9-star average from 163 reviews is decent but not exceptional. The gold finish stands out visually, though it does nothing for performance. Buyers who want a larger automatic drum at a mid-range price will find the specs reasonable, but low recent purchase activity means this model has not built a strong community track record yet.

Overview
The Zyerch XQB201A-GOLD6 is a freestanding, fully automatic top-load portable washer with a 2.0 cubic foot drum, priced at $207. It measures 19.7 x 19.7 x 33.6 inches and operates with touch controls. The gold finish is the most distinctive feature visually, making it stand out on the market where white and gray dominate.
At $207, it falls between the budget Giantex EP21684 at $149.99 (which is semi-automatic and has 15,200 reviews at 4.2 stars) and the Avanti CTW84X0W-IS at $269.44 (which offers only 0.84 cubic feet and 3.7 stars from 58 reviews). The Zyerch's 2.0 cubic foot capacity exceeds the Avanti by more than double. It is also fully automatic, unlike the Giantex.
163 reviews at 3.9 stars is a modest but not insignificant sample. That average is workable but does not inspire the same confidence as a model with ten times the ratings. Recent purchase data shows minimal recent sales velocity. The 19.7 x 19.7-inch footprint requires a dedicated floor or counter space with vertical clearance of 33.6 inches. For buyers who value a hands-off automatic wash cycle and want more drum room than the Avanti offers without going semi-automatic, the Zyerch is a reasonable option at this price.
Pros
- 2.0 cubic foot capacity handles more per load than most comparably priced portables
- Fully automatic touch controls eliminate manual water filling and tub transfers
- Gold finish offers a distinct look for buyers who want something other than white or gray
- Freestanding design works for renters with no permanent hookup
- Available at a mid-range price of $207, below higher-capacity full-size alternatives
Cons
- 163 reviews provides limited confidence compared to established models in the category
- 3.9-star average indicates some buyers had mixed experiences
- No published spin speed or wattage makes direct performance comparison difficult
- 19.7 x 19.7-inch footprint requires dedicated floor space that compact apartments may lack
- Gold finish may not match every kitchen or laundry area aesthetic
Performance notes
A 2.0 cubic foot drum translates to roughly 10 to 12 lb of laundry per load, covering a few days of everyday clothes for one person or a small batch of towels. Fully automatic operation sequences through fill, wash, rinse, and spin without you needing to intervene between stages, unlike semi-automatic units where you physically move clothes from wash tub to spin basket. Touch controls keep the interface clean. Spin speed and wattage are not listed in the available specs, which makes it harder to assess how dry clothes will come out or how fast cycles run. Based on comparable 2.0 cubic foot fully automatic portables, expect moderate spin extraction at around 800 RPM and cycle times in the 30 to 45 minute range. The freestanding design needs a flat, stable surface and faucet access within hose distance.
What buyers say
163 ratings at 3.9 stars paints a cautiously positive picture. It is not a product with any obvious controversy in the rating distribution, but the low volume means a small number of negative experiences can move the average noticeably. The near-zero recent purchase velocity is the most informative data point: despite a reasonable price and decent capacity, this model is not currently driving strong buyer activity. The Giantex EP21684 and other competitors with deeper review pools continue to draw more first-time portable washer buyers. Buyers who choose the Zyerch are likely doing so based on the capacity-to-price ratio and the distinctive finish rather than brand loyalty or community consensus.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Zyerch XQB201A-GOLD6 fully automatic?
Yes. Once you connect the fill hose and select a cycle using the touch controls, the machine handles filling, washing, rinsing, and spinning without further input. You do not need to move clothes between tubs or set separate timers.
What are the dimensions of this portable washer?
The Zyerch XQB201A-GOLD6 measures 19.7 inches wide, 19.7 inches deep, and 33.6 inches tall. Allow additional space behind and to the sides for hose routing. Confirm you have at least 34 inches of vertical clearance for the lid to open fully.
How does the Zyerch compare to the Giantex EP21684?
The Zyerch costs $207, is fully automatic, and holds 2.0 cubic feet. The Giantex EP21684 costs $149.99, is semi-automatic with a 20 lb load limit, and carries over 15,200 reviews at 4.2 stars. The Giantex offers a stronger buyer track record at a lower price; the Zyerch adds automatic convenience and a slightly larger drum.
