Singles or couples in apartments, dorms, or RVs who want an affordable, lightweight portable washer for small loads and are comfortable operating wash, rinse, and spin cycles manually without needing full automation.
Skip if
Skip if you want a fully automatic machine that handles the entire process without monitoring, need to wash bulky items like comforters, or prefer a stainless steel drum. Fully automatic models and the Giantex EP21684 at $149.99 are better fits in those cases.

Overview
The Bonusall XYJ9707 sits at $98.99, landing just below the $100 threshold that many portable washer shoppers set as a ceiling. It is a semi-automatic top-loader with a plastic drum and push-button controls, measuring 25 x 25 x 40 inches. The footprint is compact enough for a corner of a studio apartment or the back of an RV.
Semi-automatic means you control each stage: connect the hose to fill, run the wash cycle, drain, then transfer clothes to the spin compartment or switch modes to spin. This requires more involvement than a fully automatic machine, but gives you direct control over cycle times, which some buyers appreciate. For anyone who has used a twin-tub portable washer, the process is familiar.
At 4.1 stars from 250 reviews and 16-plus units bought per month, the XYJ9707 has enough buyer feedback to be taken seriously. By comparison, the Pyle PUCWM11 at $89.99 has only a 3.6-star average, making the Bonusall a notably better-rated choice at a similar price. The Giantex EP21684 ($149.99, 4.2 stars, 15,200-plus reviews) is the clear step up if you want a more established product with greater capacity. For under $100, the Bonusall delivers the core function with a rating that reflects genuine buyer satisfaction.
Pros
- Price of $98.99 is competitive in the semi-automatic portable washer segment
- 4.1-star average from 250 reviews is above average for this price range
- Compact dimensions of 25 x 25 x 40 inches suit small apartments and RVs
- Semi-automatic design gives you direct control over wash and spin durations
- 16-plus units bought per month indicates steady, consistent demand
- Push-button panel is straightforward with minimal learning curve
Cons
- Semi-automatic operation requires you to manually manage each cycle stage
- Plastic drum is less durable over years of heavy use than stainless steel
- No exact capacity figure listed in available product data
- No smart home connectivity or programmable scheduling
- Bulky items like comforters or heavy towels are likely beyond its practical capacity
Performance notes
Semi-automatic operation on the XYJ9707 means you fill via hose, run a timed wash cycle, drain, then run a spin cycle to extract water. The degree of involvement depends on the cycle length you set, but you cannot simply start the machine and leave the room for a full automatic sequence. The plastic drum and push-button controls are standard for this price range. Wash times are flexible since you control them, which is useful for quick rinses versus longer soaks. The 25 x 25 inch floor footprint requires stable placement on a flat surface, and the 40-inch height is manageable but tall enough to require clear space above. With 16-plus monthly purchases, this machine has a currently active buyer base, suggesting parts and seller support are not at risk of disappearing imminently. Expect cycles to run 20-40 minutes total depending on how long you run each stage.
What buyers say
Two hundred and fifty reviews at 4.1 stars is a credible data set for a budget portable washer. The rating compares favorably to several competitors in the same price range, including the Pyle PUCWM11 (3.6 stars, 174 reviews) and the Costway FP10950US (3.6 stars, 103 reviews). Buyers appear to find the XYJ9707 does what it claims for small, regular loads. The semi-automatic process is likely a point of adjustment for buyers coming from fully automatic machines, but the rating suggests most find it manageable once the routine is established. The 16-plus monthly purchase rate shows the machine is actively selling rather than stagnating.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Bonusall XYJ9707 fully automatic?
No, it is semi-automatic. You need to manually initiate each stage of the wash process, including filling, washing, draining, and spinning. This requires more attention than a fully automatic machine but gives you direct control over how long each stage runs.
What is the capacity of the Bonusall XYJ9707?
An exact capacity figure is not provided in the available product specifications. Based on the 25 x 25 x 40 inch dimensions and the $98.99 price point, practical capacity is consistent with similar semi-automatic portables in this range, suitable for small daily loads rather than bulky items.
Does the Bonusall XYJ9707 need permanent plumbing?
No. It is a portable washer that connects to a standard sink faucet via a hose adapter for filling and uses a separate drain hose to empty the water. No permanent plumbing connection is required, making it practical for apartments or RVs where permanent installation is not an option.
