Surprising Versus: Portable Washer Tests 1.7Ct., LED Mafia…Home Essentials Reimagined We were intrigued by the BLACK+DECKER Small Portable Washer’s sleek design and compact size. Its 1.7-cu.-ft. capacity felt just right for daily refreshes, and the transparent lid—paired with a forgiving 6-cycle system—made operation intuitive. The LED display was a subtle nod to modernity, though its minimal brightness did little to illuminate our doubts. The machine’s footprint is deceptive; it packs a decent punch for its size, handling our delicates without excessive jostling. Yet, its performance left us wondering if the convenience outshines the compromises. Would a tiny washer truly redefine home care? With clothes spilling over more often than we’d like, the jury is still out.
