We have a tendency to think of certain products as being set in stone in terms of their capabilities. If you had asked someone three decades ago what they thought a phone could be, they’d have said it was obviously for making calls. Taking pictures? Sending messages? Playing with apps until your Total Screen Time reminder shames you into stopping? The age of the dial tone phone could never have anticipated the Age of the iPhone, and the same can be said for portable washing machines versus their old-fashioned stationary counterparts.
However, it’s true – today, portable washing machines are more common and capable than ever before. Case in point, the Panda pan6320w portable machine. Let’s take a closer look at what it does and which traveling situations may best suit its capabilities.

Compact Design
One of the first things you’re bound to notice about this model is that it’s incredibly compact. You’ll have a hard time finding a smaller model than this. That said, it still weighs 60 lbs. While that is by no means as heavy as portable washing machines can get, it’s far from the most lightweight model.
Capacity
Pop the lid and you’ll find that storage capacity of 1.34 cu ft to be surprisingly spacious. You can fit a fair amount of clothes in there, and the fact that this model offers 10 lbs of weight capacity means that you can wash a bunch of clothes at once without fear.
The 110 volts of power offered by this model is pretty standard among portable washers. Eight hundred RPM is likewise a relatively standard figure, though it’s certainly on the speedier side of that average.
Programs
The Panda PAN6320W offers 10 washing programs that give you a greater degree of control over how you want to wash your clothes, as do the five water levels. In contrast to that 110 voltage, this is not as common a feature for portable washers, but it’s certainly a welcome surprise. If you have a specific way you like to wash your clothes, this greater degree of control can ensure that this machine operates just the way you want.
Portability
Still, possibly the most important feature is one that has nothing to do with washing, but the transportation of the unit. As stated, 60 lbs is hardly light, but this model’s inclusion of built-in rollers and casters allows this washer to glide across the floor while you pull it along. That’s something that simply is not true of other units, and it’s definitely a welcome addition for anyone tired of hauling around heavy portable washers.
Faucet Connector
Finally, another typical feature for portable washers found in this model is its ability to connect to faucets. This makes it easier to get water flowing into the system and thus start the washing process. Note that the measurements included with this model’s adapter are according to US Standard adapter measurements, so if you are looking to use this with a non-American faucet, you may have some additional makeshift adapting work to do.
Pros and Cons
Some of the most promising features offered by this model include:
- The rollers make the unit much easier to transport
- Good weight capacity
- Good RPM
- The washing programs give you lots of options
- Durable build
Some potential warning flags to consider about this unit are:
- 74 dB is a bit noisy in general, although still quiet for a washing machine
- A bit pricier than other models
As mentioned, the rollers included with this unit help make this a much more portable washer than others, while its solid weight capacity and RPM do a good job of actually getting your clothes clean. The durable build means that this washer should keep working for years to come. The washing programs allow you to wash your clothes in a variety of different ways.
However, you may not want to do so while anyone’s trying to sleep. Seventy-four decibels isn’t outrageously loud, but it’s still louder than some other models on the market. This model’s also on the pricier side as well.
In Conclusion
Our rating: 
4.7 / 5
Despite the extra noise and costliness, however, you get what you pay for, and in the case of the Panda pan6320w portable machine, that means a solid, highly convenient portable washer with an excellent roller system.
If you’ve thought that washers could only be and work a certain way, a unit such as this model from Panda will open your eyes to new portable washing possibilities.
