A compact washer is a smaller, space-saving washing machine designed for apartments or homes with limited laundry space. These machines typically have a capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 cubic feet, making them ideal for washing smaller loads of laundry. Compact washers often come with various wash cycles and settings, allowing users to clean different types of fabrics efficiently. Many compact washers are also energy-efficient, using less water and electricity compared to standard-sized models. Some models can be stacked with a compact dryer, creating a convenient laundry solution for tight spaces. Brands like Bosch and LG offer popular options in this category.
