With a capacity of 5 gallons and a lightweight design, it's perfect for RVs, camping, and small living spaces. Made in the USA, it combines durability with incredible cleaning power, allowing you to wash jeans and delicates in under 20 minutes while saving money and resources. ## Description From the manufacturer LAVARIO is the best portable washing machine in the world. Our patented “ power flow technology ” is totally unique because it drives water through fabric with amazing cleaning action. Only minimal arm strength is needed because gravity does the work on the down-stroke and buoyancy makes the up-stroke easy. Lavario is non-electric, portable, east to use, and proudly manufactured in the USA. Lavario can be used in a bathtub, shower, with a kitchen sink, or anywhere convenient to drain water. Lavario is gentle on delicates and tough on dirt. Great for RV living, apartment dwellers, dorms, fine fabrics & athletic wear, cloth diapers, pet blankets, and more. Make less trips to the laundromat and save money. Lavario is also ideal when you have only a few items to wash and it doesn't make sense to use a big electric washer. Saves time and the environment. LAVARIO has been awarded both a utility and design patent, was a finalist for the Global Innovation Award for design excellence from the International Housewares Association, and has received numerous awards for outstanding quality and innovation. "Our goal was simple. Design the best portable clothes washer in the world. We wanted it to be non-electric and hand-powered so it could be used anywhere - and - made in the USA. We wanted a simple machine which could do small loads – but not just socks and underwear - jeans and sweatshirts too. We tested all the popular portable washers sold online, all in the 60 to 100 dollar range, and we were surprised by what we found. None of them could properly wash even light articles like socks and underwear. Lavario was meticulously engineered for durability and performance. We are immensely proud of our washer. Yes, we are 25 to 50 dollars more expensive than competitors, but we stand alone with the best portable clothes washer in the world… the only one that washes real clothes like jeans and sweatshirts. Lavario is worth every dollar. That’s why we assure your complete satisfaction." - Howard Silagy, Inventor & CEO 4 SIMPLE STEPS Fill With Water & Detergent We suggest 10 gallons (5 to wash and 5 to rinse), but you may certainly use less for smaller loads and to conserve water. We recommend cool to lukewarm water (50°F - 75°F). Max water temperature should be 100°F, which is equivalent to a typical hot shower. Put Clothes In Basket A typical load might consist of a pair of jeans, shirt, t-shirt, underwear and socks. Fill the basket loosely so that the water flows freely through the clothes. Easy Up & Down Motion Our patented "Powerflow" technology drives water through your clothes for an amazing clean. Only minimal arm strength is needed because gravity does the work on the down-stroke and buoyancy makes the up-stroke easy. Drain & Rinse Lavario is easy to drain in a sink, tub or outside. A standard garden hose may be attached when you wish to direct water away from where you're using it. When done, simply hang them on a drying rack or clothes line. PATENTED "POWERFLOW" TECHNOLOGY Non-electric and simple to use Generates powerful waterflow which blasts dirt from fabric 5 gallon basket holds the equivalent of one small electric load Easy to fill in tub, shower or with a sink or hose Ultra-light and compact Awarded 2 Patents Made in the USA USE IT ANYWHERE RV's & Cabins Perfect for RV's, Cabins, Small Homes, Mobile Homes, Camping, and more. Lavario is portable and easy to use anywhere there's a water supply. Apartments & Dorms Save time and money by taking less trips to the laundromat. Convenient and easy to use in a bathtub, shower or with a sink. Lavario can be used as a hamper between washes. Fine Fabrics & Delicates Lavario is ideal for delicates, fine fabrics, and athletic wear. Cleans clothes in less than 20 minutes. Lavario is also ideal when you have only a few items to wash and don't want to use a big electric washer. Baby Clothes & Diapers Lavario is the best way to clean your precious little one's baby clothes. It's also perfect to wash cloth diapers hygienically outside the family washing machine. Review: Effective and easy - I bought my lavario for a small holiday flat where I didn`t want a large plumbed in machine, but did want to stop going to the laundrette. It is well designed, looks smart and does the job very well. Basically, it enables you to do bigger hand-washing loads than you could do in the sink, but more easily and more effectively. I use it in the shower cubicle which is ideal for filling and emptying it. So far, I`ve used it for medium loads and I`ve washed duvet covers in it. I`ve also bought a spin dryer to get rid of excess water before hanging the washing outside to dry. This combination is brilliant and easy on water, electricity and time. Very pleased with my purchases. Review: Lavario WAshing machine - Have had mine for a couple of years now; mostly used for sport clothes, but it works well for bedding and towels as well, provided you have some means to spin water from the washing afterwards. I am not sure that portability is a big selling point, as the lavario is bulky and a weird shape with the handle installed, but it is low impact for clothes rather than bashing them around inside an electric machine, and for me cleans better than the hand crank style manual machines. ## Features - PATENTED Best portable clothes washer in the world.

I don’t expect dry, but is it still super wet?** A: The wringing out feature is utterly and completely unwell. It takes forever to drain out, first of all, and the you have wring out the sopping wet laundry by hand. The feature is pretty much useless. **Q: How does the lavario spin water out of clothes? I realuze you rinse as much as you would need to get soap out of clothing, but ring out?** A: It does not spin the water out. You can move the clothes from the washer basket to the bucket and press down on them with the basket. This produces moderate results and you will want to wring them anyway so I don't bother. **Q: How many gallons and cubic feet is the barral can part not the piston 5 gallon part** A: Thank you for your question and patience. We wanted to ask the inventor to confirm this information before answering. Our bucket (barrel) is 1.38 cu ft (2,393 cu in), and 10.4 gallons. We hope this is helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective and easy *by L***D on 30 June 2019* I bought my lavario for a small holiday flat where I didn`t want a large plumbed in machine, but did want to stop going to the laundrette. It is well designed, looks smart and does the job very well. Basically, it enables you to do bigger hand-washing loads than you could do in the sink, but more easily and more effectively.

Very pleased with my purchases. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lavario WAshing machine *by J***N on 7 February 2021* Have had mine for a couple of years now; mostly used for sport clothes, but it works well for bedding and towels as well, provided you have some means to spin water from the washing afterwards. I am not sure that portability is a big selling point, as the lavario is bulky and a weird shape with the handle installed, but it is low impact for clothes rather than bashing them around inside an electric machine, and for me cleans better than the hand crank style manual machines. ### ⭐ Not impressed *by J***N on 11 October 2019* I may as well have bought a bucket and a plunger. I see this as quite a pointless washing machine as it takes up loads of space because the handle can’t be removed and there is no way of spinning the clothes so everything is soaking and you have to wring it out by hand. Very disappointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/93923498-portable-washing-machine-hand-powered-tub-and-insert-design-eco](https://www.desertcart.is/products/93923498-portable-washing-machine-hand-powered-tub-and-insert-design-eco) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
