Product Information
Full details
The DMD Collective Portable Washing Machine is an ideal laundry solution for those living in flats, caravans, camping sites, or holiday homes where space is limited and full-sized appliances are not feasible. This compact twin tub unit offers a 4kg wash and 3kg spin capacity, providing a convenient way to handle smaller loads quickly; however, users should note that the machine requires manual water filling and draining, making it less automated than standard residential washers.

FAQs
Does this machine heat its own water?
No, you must fill the wash tub with water at your desired temperature manually.
Can I wash heavy items like curtains or duvets?
The 4kg capacity is best suited for light to medium laundry items. Heavy items may exceed the motor capacity and are not recommended.
Is this machine waterproof?
It is rated IPX4, meaning it is water-resistant against splashes, but it should never be submerged in water.
How do I drain the water?
The machine uses gravity drainage; ensure the drain hose is lowered into a floor drain or bucket to allow water to exit.
Can I leave the machine outside?
While it is water-resistant, it is intended for indoor or sheltered use and should be protected from harsh outdoor weather.
What is the maximum cycle time?
The wash timer can be set for up to 15 minutes, and the spin timer can be set for up to 5 minutes.
Troubleshooting
Machine will not start
Check that the power plug is fully inserted into the socket and the timer knob is set to a specific time.
Water is not draining
Verify that the drain hose is positioned lower than the tub and is not kinked or obstructed.
Excessive vibration during spinning
Stop the cycle, rearrange the clothing evenly inside the spin basket, and ensure the unit is on a level surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Space-saving design perfect for small apartments or caravans
- Separate compartments allow for independent wash and spin cycles
- Simple mechanical controls are easy to operate and durable
- Includes essential IPX4 water resistance for bathroom or utility safety
Cons
- Requires manual water filling and drainage

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the machine is straightforward due to its 1.5m cable and standard UK power requirements. Place the machine on a flat, level, and stable surface near a water source and a drainage point. Since the machine does not have an internal heater, use water at the desired temperature filled manually into the wash basin. To maintain the appliance, clean the lint filter after every use to prevent blockages, and ensure both tubs are thoroughly dried before storing the machine for extended periods. Always disconnect the power supply after completing your cycles to ensure electrical longevity.
