About Cotton Treats

Updated on

Cotton Treats is an independent buying-guide site for people who need to do laundry at home but have no laundry room. We help you pick a machine that fits your space, your water setup and your outlet.

Our readers live in apartments, condos, RVs, cabins and small houses. Many are renters, retirees or downsizers who are tired of trips to the laundromat.

What we cover

We cover portable washers, twin tub washers, plug-in dryers, ventless all-in-one combos and washer and dryer sets. Brands include BLACK+DECKER, COMFEE', ROVSUN, Giantex, Costway, Euhomy, Midea and Hamilton Beach.

You'll also find setup and care help: how these machines fill and drain, how to keep them clean and what to check when one leaks or stops heating.

How we put our guides together

We read the specs, features and maker information for every machine we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one for a while.

Then we write it up in plain words, with clear picks and side-by-side comparisons. Our How we research page explains the steps.

What we don't do

We don't make or sell washers or dryers, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

Cotton Treats isn't affiliated with any appliance maker or store.

We don't claim to have tested every machine ourselves. When we recommend one, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

We don't give electrical or plumbing advice. For outlets, wiring or permanent hookups, ask a licensed electrician or plumber, and read your lease first if you rent.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
