This Steinborg offers the same core data as the more expensive sister model, 3 kg washing and 1 kg spinning in separate chambers, at roughly half the price. A selector between delicate and normal washing, a timer and a transparent lid are included, and hoses come with it. At approx. 58 × 60 × 35 cm it is compact enough for the kitchen, bathroom or motorhome and the budget pick in the field.

Steinborg 2-Chamber Top-Loader: what works and what doesn't

What works well

  • Best price in the field: roughly half the price of the identical sister model with the same core data, a clear budget pick
  • Delicate/normal selectable: a selector separates gentle from normal washing, more control than with simple foldable models
  • Two separate chambers: washing and spinning run in parallel in separate chambers, which saves time in the process
  • Compact dimensions: at approx. 58 × 60 × 35 cm it finds room in the bathroom, kitchen or motorhome
  • Complete set: inlet and outlet hose as well as mains plug are included, no accessory purchase needed

Points of criticism

  • Spinning only 1 kg: the spin chamber holds only 1 kg, so a full 3 kg load has to be spun in portions
  • Near-no-name brand: Steinborg is not an established white goods brand; durability and service are harder to assess than with branded appliances
  • No heating programme documented: water heating is not stated, a limit for heavily soiled laundry

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Steinborg 2-Chamber Top-Loader in everyday use: best price in the field (roughly half the price of the identical sister model with the same core data, a clear budget pick) and delicate/normal selectable (a selector separates gentle from normal washing, more control than with simple foldable models). The weaknesses have to be stated honestly: spinning only 1 kg. The spin chamber holds only 1 kg, so a full 3 kg load has to be spun in portions.

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.

“Steinborg Mini Washing Machine with Spin (2 Chambers): best price in the field and delicate/normal selectable, in exchange for spinning only 1 kg. At 7.9/10 a fair deal from €60.”
