Compact washers are smaller, space-saving washing machines designed for apartments or homes with limited laundry space. They typically have a capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 cubic feet, making them ideal for smaller loads. Many models are stackable or can fit under countertops, providing flexibility in placement. These washers often come with various wash cycles and energy-efficient features, helping to save water and electricity. Some compact washers also include built-in dryers or can be paired with compact dryers for a complete laundry solution. Their convenience and efficiency make them a popular choice for urban living.
