HAVA T02 at a glance
In short: the HAVA T02 scores 8,4/10 in our mini washing machine review (from €254). Biggest strength: a true fully automatic. Main compromise: clearly more expensive.
All specifications come from manufacturer data sheets and the Amazon catalogue and were cross-checked before publication. The rating is an editorial overall assessment based on this data; we do not trial products ourselves.
HAVA T02: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- True fully automatic: washing at the push of a button without moving laundry over or draining water manually, clearly less manual work than twin-tub devices
- Heats itself to 40/60 °C: the integrated heating element loosens stubborn stains and works against bacteria and allergens, with no boiler nearby
- Drain pump up to 120 cm: pumps the water up to 120 cm, for example into the washbasin, flexible even without a floor drain
- 8 programmes, 4 water levels: covers different textiles and load sizes and allows separate spinning
- High-quality drum: stainless steel drum plus a soft-close glass lid look more durable and premium than the usual plastic devices
Points of criticism
- Clearly more expensive: at around €254 it costs a multiple of simple camping washing machines, and the comfort has its price
- Only 3 kg despite being fully automatic: capacity stays limited to single and couple households, too small for family laundry
- Needs a fixed spot: at 42 × 45.5 × 75 cm it needs a permanent place and is not a device to stow in a cupboard

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the HAVA T02 in everyday use: true fully automatic (washing at the push of a button without moving laundry over or draining water manually, clearly less manual work than twin-tub devices) and heats itself to 40/60 °C (the integrated heating element loosens stubborn stains and works against bacteria and allergens, with no boiler nearby). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: clearly more expensive. At around €254 it costs a multiple of simple camping washing machines, and the comfort has its price.
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
