Product Description

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, save time and 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.

LAVARIO has been awarded both a Utility Patent: 9,752,264, and a Design Patent: D816,923

4 SIMPLE STEPS

Lavario Portable Clothes Washer

Lavario Portable Clothes Washer

Lavario Portable Clothes Washer

Lavario Portable Clothes Washer

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.

Easy and effective clothes washing with a few caveats
4 Stars
Easy and effective clothes washing with a few caveats
This definitely cleans clothes and it works really well versus other options I've tested, but a few missteps make me think it doesn't deserve the 5 star rating everyone else is giving it. Also, before you purchase, I recommend looking at the manual online. It's posted to their website and gives a few more details that might help you decide if this device is right for you.Pros:* Worked great on exceedingly bad smelling clothes and sweaty workout clothes, just okay with a bath towel with a persistent mildew smell.* Lightweight, low difficulty, and good output. Durable construction.Cons:* Difficult to dry - Clothes are soaked with water no matter what you do (as other reviewers have pointed out) even as the documentation suggests you can press out the water under the basket once finished. The best I've been able to do is leave them in the bathroom on a drying rack with a high fan on them overnight. Even twist-drying them doesn't help.* You cannot remove the handle. In fact, there's a big warning at the beginning of the manual saying you could break the handle if you try. This is problematic both because it would be SO much easier to store the thing with the handle removed, but also because if you need to return the device, removing the handle is going to break it. I didn't see anything on this when I was researching this purchase. Note that there is actually a way to do this with a flathead screwdriver and some patience, but I wouldn't bother.* Soap - No suggestion on how much soap to use or how to run multiple cycles with one bucket of soapy water. I've tried to detail some suggestions below, but that seems like a big missing piece.Suggestions for use:* Bathtub: The bin holds a lot of water that might cause problems if knocked over, so doing this whole process in a bathtub might be ideal, especially in an apartment.* Soaking - If you have time, soak clothes for 4-8 hours (overnight). Note that earth-friendly soaps will start to smell bad after ~14 hours, since the whole point of earth-friendly soaps is that they break down once they get out to the sewers. Clothes get a lot cleaner this way and you break down a lot of stubborn smells / stains. You can use this in concert with half a cup of bleach, vinegar, or baking soda (see warning about bleach below).* Bleach: This is covered in the manual, but due to some splashing with this device, use caution with bleach, including eye protection and gentle cycling. I'd recommend normal bleach (sometimes listed as "color safe") and not chlorine bleach.* Soap use: I used the following to good effect: earth-friendly HE soap, 1/2 of the first "small load" marker.* Multi-cycle: The instructions only discuss a single cycle followed by a rinse, but you can save a LOT of water and soap by re-using the same soapy water multiple times to wash lots of clothes. After your first load, take out the wet+soapy clothes, set them aside in a bucket or bathtub, and add a little more water+soap each time to make sure that it covers the basket. I've done this a dozen times with no issue, and on two occasions reusing the soapy water 3x.* Bucket: I'd recommend having a spare one on hand for adding water, holding clothes inbetween cycles, etc. It's just very helpful* Draining: You can lift the bucket out of the water and rotate it a little so that it sits above the water to ease the process of draining. After that, you can empty clothes into the bottom of the bucket and press down with the empty basket to help get more water out. If you already have a method to wring clothes, you might skip this step.* Do what the instructions say x2 - Out of an abundance of caution, I double the recommended lift-push and cycles just because I don't want to mess about with the slow process of drying still-dirty / smelly clothes.Issues* Floating basket: if the basket rises to the top of the water, take off the lid and press down on all the clothes to get all the air out. Or put a bucket on top and add something heavy to create a counterweight.* Persistent mildew smell: For clothes with a mildew smell, you might want to soak longer and go through more lift-and-drop cycles. I also like adding baking soda (add to a full container of water before any clothes). I did roughly 20 minutes and 20 lift-and-push down cycles and that was effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars My review on the Lavario portable clothes washer.
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019
I wanted to buy myself a Christmas present of a portable, non-electric washer for camping and emergencies so I did a lot of research online and came across the Lavario portable clothes washer. It was more expensive than the other washers on the market, but when I watched the company's video, it made sense to me and I thought I would give it a shot.

In trying it out, I wanted to give it the most rigorous test I could so that I would know the validity of the claims on cleaning ability.

My son had a pair of muddy jeans. Dry dirt was in clumps around the bottom of the pants. He also had another pair of pants that needed to be cleaned, so I washed the two in the washer to test how well it would clean.

Now, if I was going to use my clothes washer, I would have scraped some of the dirt off the pants before getting started, but I wanted to see how good this hand washer was. I decided that I would do a regular wash first to see what dirt would come out. (The normal wash given in the instruction book is to cycle up-and-down approximately 10 times, soak 5 minutes, and then cycle up-and-down approximately 10 more times.) I lost count of the cycles, and I also did not count testing of the company’s claim of how easy it is to use. You see, my mom is 73, and she has problems with her wrists and shoulder, and I wanted her to do some cycles to see if she thought this was something she could manage. She was surprised, she said it was easier than it looked while I was doing it. She was able to push it up-and-down several times without any problems. Big win.

With washing machines, they have a normal cycle as well as a heavy-duty cycle, so I was not expecting a miracle. It also says in the notes that you may need to soak clothes longer than 5 minutes to loosen stubborn dirt. As one of the pictures show there was just a little bit of some dirt left after the 1st normal washing.

I did a second normal wash and the pants came out clean. The rinse water was clear. I am very pleased.

To ring the clothes out, the book says to take the clothes out of the basket and then use the basket to press the clothes against the bottom of bucket. This does not get out as much water as I would like, but that's OK, I can just ring them out by hand.

I highly recommend this product.
One thing that would make this product better would be a line marker at the two-thirds level so I would not have to guess as to the amount of water during filling.
