Jujojb ZM-017G Portable Washer Review
Our verdict
The Jujojb ZM-017G is a $58.89 countertop portable washer for single items or very small loads. Its 55 dB noise rating is quiet for the class, and the 12 x 12 x 13 inch drum keeps the footprint minimal. At 3.7 stars from 180 reviews, buyer satisfaction is mixed, which is worth noting at this price point before you commit.

Individuals needing the smallest possible countertop washer for delicates, one or two garments at a time, or occasional hand-washing of small items, particularly in dorms, RVs, or tiny apartments with almost no floor space.
Skip if
Skip if you need to wash more than a few garments per load, want fully automated operation, or plan to wash anything heavier than a t-shirt. The Giantex EP21684 at $149.99 offers a 20 lb capacity and far more buyer confidence if you can stretch the budget.

Overview
The Jujojb ZM-017G sits at the lower end of the countertop portable washer market at $58.89. Its 12 x 12 x 13 inch drum is small enough to sit on most kitchen counters or bathroom ledges, and the three-cycle menu handles the most basic wash variations. Operation is semi-automatic: you fill, select a cycle, and manage draining yourself. The plastic drum and 110V power supply are standard for this class.
At 55 dB, the ZM-017G is measurably quiet compared to portables that operate at 60-68 dB. That matters in a studio apartment or shared living space where a machine running at odd hours would otherwise be disruptive.
With 3.7 stars from 180 reviews and 20-plus units bought per month, this machine occupies the occupied but mixed end of the buyer satisfaction scale. For context, the Giantex EP21684 earns 4.2 stars from 15,200-plus reviews at $149.99, offering 20 lb capacity and a genuine spin basket. The Avanti CTW84X0W-IS costs $269.44 for 0.84 cu ft and has only 58 reviews at the same 3.7-star average. The Pyle PUCWM11 at $89.99 also sits at 3.6 stars from 174 reviews, making the Jujojb a competitive option in this lower tier for buyers who genuinely cannot spare counter or floor space for anything larger.
Pros
- Price of $58.89 is low, placing it among the most affordable countertop washers available
- Footprint of 12 x 12 x 13 inches fits on nearly any flat surface
- 55 dB noise level is quieter than most portable washers in this price range
- Three cycles give basic options for different fabric types
- Lightweight plastic drum keeps the overall unit easy to reposition
Cons
- Semi-automatic operation requires manual filling, draining, and cycle switching
- Drum size of 12 x 12 x 13 inches restricts loads to a few small items
- 3.7-star average from 180 reviews indicates mixed buyer satisfaction
- Plastic drum is less durable than stainless steel over extended use
- No smart features, timer display, or advanced cycle options
Performance notes
The 55 dB noise rating is the ZM-017G's most competitive performance spec. Below 60 dB is considered quiet for washing machines, putting this machine in territory where it can run in a small apartment without drawing complaints from neighbors or waking light sleepers. The three-cycle menu provides enough variation for a basic routine, though the absence of a dedicated spin-only mode or temperature control limits adaptability for different fabric types. The 110V power draw is standard and requires no special outlet. Since operation is semi-automatic, you stay close during a cycle to manage the stages. Drum capacity in a 12 x 12 x 13 inch form factor realistically handles a single outfit or a handful of small items per run, which defines the practical use case tightly.
What buyers say
A 3.7-star average from 180 reviews places the ZM-017G in mixed territory. This rating is identical to the Avanti CTW84X0W-IS, which costs $210 more, suggesting that price alone does not determine buyer satisfaction in this category. The 20-plus monthly purchases confirm the machine has active interest rather than being a stale listing. Positive patterns among buyers at this price are likely driven by the small footprint and low cost. Criticisms at 3.7 stars typically point to capacity limitations or the semi-automatic process being more involved than expected. Buyers should enter with realistic expectations about what a $58.89 countertop washer can do.

Frequently asked questions
How much laundry can the Jujojb ZM-017G wash in one load?
The drum dimensions are 12 x 12 x 13 inches, so practical capacity is limited to a single outfit or a handful of small items like socks and underwear. It is not suitable for towels, jeans, or multi-garment loads.
Does the Jujojb ZM-017G require a permanent water hookup?
No. It is a semi-automatic countertop washer. You fill the drum manually using a nearby sink or bucket, and drain it after each cycle. The compact design and lack of permanent connections make it easy to store when not in use.
How does the Jujojb ZM-017G compare to the Giantex EP21684?
The Jujojb is much smaller (12 x 12 x 13 inches) and cheaper ($58.89) but offers only 3 semi-automatic cycles and very limited capacity. The Giantex EP21684 costs $149.99 and holds 20 lb per load with a 4.2-star average from over 15,200 reviews. The Giantex is a more capable machine; the Jujojb is for situations where counter space is the absolute constraint.
