The Arksen Model 048-GM-48030 is a perfect choice as a portable laundry solution for dorms, 
apartments, lofts, small houses, camping, RV’s, or when traveling — anywhere laundry facilities are non-
existent or expensive. Easy to use, portable washers and spin dryers use less water, less detergent, less 
electricity and operate faster. 

As a result, they save you both time and money, and are better for the environment than traditional units. 
And, of course, they are also space savers! And with an 11-pound capacity, it’s one of the largest capacity 
units currently on the market. 

FEATURES

Washer features a large 11 pound load capacity for doing light to medium laundry loads

Dual function feature allows for a spin wash and spin dry at the same time

Gravity Drain System — Washer features a built-in drain pump which effortlessly automatically drains 
water from the washer

Clear Lid allows you to see the wash and dry cycle and monitor the water condition

The compact size of this washing machine makes its completely portable and perfect for small spaces

Easy operation allows you to simply put in your load of clothes, fill with water, set the timer and start 
washing

This machine is ideal for doing small loads of delicate clothing like under garments, socks, towels and 
printed T-shirts

Note, that the spin dryer is not a traditional dryer and will not completely dry clothing. A clothing rack or 
clothesline is needed, to complete the drying process.
