If you’ve ever hand-washed a pile of baby clothes or delicate bras at the sink, we totally get the struggle. It takes forever, your back hurts, and you still wonder if everything got properly clean. Throwing them in with the family’s jeans and towels doesn’t feel right either.
That’s where a mini washing machine comes in. It’s a small, separate washer just for baby clothes, underwear, bras and socks. They get their own gentle wash, away from muddy shoes and gym gear. In this guide, we’ve rounded up 5 mini washing machines you can buy in Singapore, from a S$39 cordless pick to a S$190 twin tub.
How We Picked
We looked at mini washing machines and we compared what really matters for small, delicate loads: capacity, wash and spin, hot water or drying, installation, Safety Mark and price. To be upfront, we haven’t tested these ourselves, and we couldn’t find independent tests. Prices were checked in November 2026, so do check the latest price before you buy.
What to Look for in a Mini Washing Machine in Singapore
- Safety Mark. Washing machines are controlled goods in Singapore, so they must be registered and carry the Safety Mark. It’s your best sign that the machine has passed electrical safety checks. Look for the Safety Mark number on the listing or the box.
- Capacity. Mini washers hold anywhere from 0.5 kg to about 3 kg. A newborn’s daily laundry or a week of bras fits in 1–1.5 kg. Go for 3 kg if you want to wash cot sheets and towels too.
- Wash and spin. A spin basket gets most of the water out, so clothes dry much faster on the rack. Without one, you’ll be wringing things out by hand.
- Hot water. Mini washers use cold water, including all five on our list. If you want to deal with germs on baby clothes and towels, a hot wash (60 °C and above) in your main washer is the more reliable option.
- Blue light or UV claims. Many cheap mini washers claim “blue light sterilisation” or “kills 99% of germs”. These claims are rarely backed by a test, so don’t buy on that alone.
- Water and drain. Some connect to your tap and drain into a floor trap. Others are buckets you fill and empty yourself. Check what your bathroom or service yard can handle.
- Cordless or mains. Cordless washers run on a rechargeable battery and work anywhere, but they’re small. Mains-powered ones hold more and usually spin harder.
- Size. Most are small enough for a cabinet or the corner of a bathroom, but twin-tub models can be about 58 cm wide.

- Heavy at 10 kg
If we had to pick just one mini washer for baby clothes and intimates, it would be the PowerPac PPW920. Its 3 kg drum fits baby clothes, cot sheets and towels in one go. At S$179, it’s great value from a brand with a Singapore Safety Mark and a 24-month motor warranty.
We like how practical it is. There are two tubs: one to wash and one to spin, so clothes come out nearly dry. You can run both at the same time, which speeds things up. The inlet hose connects to your tap, and the drain hose goes to your toilet or floor trap.
However, note that it’s semi-automatic. You’ll move the clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub yourself. At 58 cm wide and 10 kg, it’s also the widest pick here, so measure your bathroom or service yard first.
PowerPac PPW820 2-in-1 Mini Washing Machine — Best Compact Wash and Spin
Specifications
- Model: PowerPac PPW820
- Type: Single-tub mini washer with a removable spin basket
- Capacity: 1.5 kg
- Functions: Wash, rinse and spin; PowerPac’s listing calls it 15-minute fast laundry
- Power: 200 W
- Size: Packed 390 × 380 × 540 mm; 5 kg
- Safety Mark: 180162-12
- Warranty: Not stated on the pages we checked; check with the seller
- Price: S$99.90 (PowerPac on Lazada); S$132.05 (Challenger)
Pros
- Safety Mark at under S$140
- 1.5 kg suits a newborn’s daily laundry
- Removable spin basket for faster drying
- Light at 5 kg, easy to store
Cons
- No hot wash
- Spin capacity not published
- Warranty not stated
Looking for a small washer that won’t burn a hole in your pocket? The PowerPac PPW820 is our pick. It starts from about S$99.90, and it still carries a Singapore Safety Mark. Its 1.5 kg drum is just right for a newborn’s daily laundry or a week of bras and socks.
We like that it does more than just swirl. It washes, rinses and spins in one tub, using a removable spin basket to wring out the water. PowerPac calls it a 15-minute fast laundry. At 5 kg, it’s light enough to keep in a cabinet and bring out when you need it.
Just note what you’re giving up. There’s no hot wash, and PowerPac doesn’t say how much the spin basket holds. We also couldn’t find a warranty period, so check with the seller before you buy.
Hodekt Mini Washing Machine — Best Budget Pick for Bigger Loads
Specifications
- Model: HODEKT Family Mini Washing Machine (7 kg)
- Type: Semi-automatic, top-opening washer with a spin (dehydration) basket
- Wash capacity: 7–8 kg; Hodekt says a load fits 10–15 baby clothes or 10–15 pieces of underwear
- Spin: Up to 3 kg at 740 rpm
- Water levels: 5
- Programmes: Timer-based wash and spin; Antibacterial Essence Wash, Healthy Wash, Deep Mites Removal, Clean and Soft Wash, Wash and Dry
- Features: Auto power-off, anti-tangle, blue light “sterilisation” (seller claim)
- Inner tub: All plastic
- Power: 350 W in the spec list
- Size: 410 × 420 × 670 mm
- In the box: Washer, drain basket, drain pipe and a Singapore 3-pin plug adapter
- Safety Mark: Not found on the listing; check before you buy
- Warranty: Not stated
- Price: From S$75 (Hodekt Official Store on Shopee, smaller variants); S$79 (Hodekt on Lazada, 7 kg)
Pros
- Biggest drum on our list at 7–8 kg
- Spin basket at 740 rpm
- 5 water levels and several wash modes
- Cheap from about S$75
Cons
- Tall at 67 cm, so it needs floor space
- Comes with a plug adapter, not a Singapore plug
- Blue light claim not backed by a test
- No Safety Mark or warranty found
If you want to wash more than a handful of pieces at a time, the Hodekt Mini Washing Machine is the budget pick we’d go for. Hodekt rates it at 7–8 kg, the biggest drum on our list. It says one load fits 10–15 baby clothes or 10–15 pieces of underwear.
We like that it covers the basics well. You get 5 water levels, a timer and modes like Deep Mites Removal and Clean and Soft Wash. A spin basket then dries up to 3 kg at 740 rpm, so clothes come out ready for the rack. It also switches off on its own when it’s done.
However, note that at 67 cm tall, it’s more like a small washer than a portable one. It comes with a Singapore plug adapter rather than a local plug. We couldn’t find a Safety Mark or warranty either, so check with the seller before you buy.
JOMO 4L Mini Washing Machine — Best Budget Pick
Specifications
- Model: JOMO 4L Mini Washing Machine (2026 version)
- Type: Cordless mini washer with a spin basket
- Capacity: 4 L tub
- Spin: JOMO claims an 86% spin-dry rate
- Modes: 3 wash modes, with reverse rotation that JOMO says mimics hand washing
- Features: Built-in drain hose, blue light “cleaning” (seller claim), anti-vibration suction cups
- Made for: Underwear, socks and baby clothes
- Weight: 800 g
- Size: 262 × 182 mm
- In the box: Main unit, spin basket and press plate
- Battery: Not published
- Safety Mark: Not found on the listing; check before you buy
- Warranty: Not stated
- Price: S$38.97 (JOMO Living on Shopee); S$39.58 (JOMO Living on Lazada)
Pros
- Cheapest pick at under S$40
- Just 800 g, fits in a suitcase
- 3 wash modes with gentle reverse rotation
- Built-in drain hose and spin basket
Cons
- Small 4 L tub
- Battery size not published
- Blue light claim not backed by a test
- No Safety Mark or warranty found
Looking for a mini washer that won’t burn a hole in your pocket? The JOMO 4L Mini Washing Machine is our pick. It costs under S$40 at JOMO Living’s Shopee store, the cheapest on our list by far. Even at that price, it comes with a spin basket and a built-in drain hose.
We like how gentle and portable it is. There are 3 wash modes, and JOMO says its reverse rotation mimics hand washing, which suits bras and baby clothes. At just 800 g and about 26 cm across, it fits in a suitcase. Suction cups on the base help keep it steady and quiet.
However, note that the 4 L tub only takes a handful of small items at a time. JOMO claims an 86% spin-dry rate and blue light cleaning, but neither is backed by a test. We also couldn’t find the battery size, a warranty or a Safety Mark. Treat it as a cheap helper, not a replacement for a proper washer.
Minilife Portable Mini Washing Machine — Best Cordless and Travel Pick
Specifications
- Model: Minilife Portable Mini Washing Machine
- Type: Cordless, rechargeable mini washer with a disinfection mode
- Capacity: 2 L; Minilife says one load fits 3 pairs of underwear, 2 bras, 5 pairs of socks or 1 set of baby clothes
- Wash modes: 3: 3 min (quick), 5 min (daily) and 8 min (deep clean)
- Disinfection: Turns salt and water into sodium hypochlorite by electrolysis; Minilife claims 99.9% anti-bacterial cleaning (not tested)
- Inner drum: Food-grade materials (Minilife)
- Battery: 4000 mAh; about 120 minutes of use; charges in about 3 hours (5 V / 2 A; USB-C per the listing title)
- Power: 10 W
- Materials: ABS, PP and PC
- Size: 168 × 152 × 208.5 mm
- In the box: Main unit, charging cable and user manual
- Spin: Not mentioned
- Safety Mark: Not found on the listing; check before you buy
- Warranty: Not stated
- Price: S$72.50 (Shopee); S$138.36 (TikTok Shop)
Pros
- Cordless, with about 2 hours of use per charge
- Quick 3-minute wash mode
- Disinfection mode using just salt and water
- Compact at about 21 cm tall
Cons
- Tiny 2 L capacity
- No spin mentioned, so clothes come out wet
- Not sold by an official store
- No Safety Mark or warranty found
If you travel a lot or don’t have a spare power point near your sink, the Minilife Portable Mini Washing Machine is the one we’d pack. It’s cordless, and its 4000 mAh battery gives you about 2 hours of washing per charge. At about 21 cm tall, it fits on a bathroom counter or in a suitcase.
We like how quick and simple it is. There are 3 wash modes: 3 minutes for a quick wash, 5 for daily and 8 for a deep clean. It also has a disinfection mode that turns salt and water into sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in bleach. Minilife says the inner drum is made of food-grade materials.
However, note that the 2 L drum only fits about 1 set of baby clothes or 2 bras at a time, and there’s no spin. Minilife’s 99.9% claim isn’t backed by a test, and it says not to add salt and detergent together. Rinse baby clothes well after disinfecting, and check for a Safety Mark before you buy.
Which Mini Washing Machine Should You Buy?
- Want the best all-rounder with a Safety Mark? Get the PowerPac PPW920.
- Want a small, Safety Mark-certified washer under S$140? Get the PowerPac PPW820.
- Want a big drum for less? Get the Hodekt Mini Washing Machine.
- Want the cheapest washer with a spin dryer? Get the JOMO 4L Mini Washing Machine.
- Need something cordless for travel? Get the Minilife Portable Mini Washing Machine.
Our Verdict
For baby clothes and intimates, we think the PowerPac PPW920 hits the sweet spot. You get a 3 kg drum, a separate spin tub, a Singapore Safety Mark and a 24-month motor warranty for about S$179. If you want something smaller and cheaper, the 1.5 kg PowerPac PPW820 is the most affordable pick we could confirm has a Safety Mark. The Hodekt gives you the biggest 7–8 kg drum for less, but no Safety Mark or warranty we could find. The JOMO and Minilife cost less but publish very few specs, so check their listings carefully.
FAQ
Why wash baby clothes and intimates separately?
Baby clothes and underwear are delicate, and many parents prefer not to mix them with muddy shoes, gym gear and towels. A separate mini washer gives them a gentler wash, and you can use a baby-safe detergent without changing your main laundry routine.
Do mini washing machines really sterilise clothes?
Be careful with these claims. Many cheap mini washers say they use “blue light” or “kill 99% of germs”, but we couldn’t find tests to back them up. The Minilife takes a different route, making a mild bleach solution from salt and water, so rinse well afterwards. A hot wash of 60 °C and above in your main washer is the more reliable option for things like towels and cloth nappies.
Does a mini washing machine need a Safety Mark in Singapore?
Yes. Washing machines are controlled goods in Singapore, so they need to be registered and carry the Safety Mark before they can be sold here. Both PowerPac models list theirs. For other brands, check the listing or the box for a Safety Mark number.
How much can a mini washing machine hold?
It varies a lot. On our picks, it ranges from a 2 L drum (Minilife) to 7–8 kg (Hodekt). As a rough guide, 1–1.5 kg fits a newborn’s daily laundry or a week of bras and socks.
Do I need to connect a mini washer to a tap?
Some do, and some don’t. The PowerPac PPW920 uses a hose that connects to your tap. Bucket-style washers like the Hodekt, JOMO and Minilife are filled by hand, though the Hodekt and JOMO have drain hoses.
Can I wash bras in a mini washing machine?
Yes, but use the gentlest cycle and a mesh laundry bag to protect the hooks and underwire. Fasten the hooks first so they don’t snag. For padded or very delicate bras, check the care label, as some are still best washed by hand.
