Steinborg 2-Chamber Top-Loader: what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Two separate chambers: washing and spinning run in separate chambers, so you can work in parallel and do not have to awkwardly move laundry across
- 3 kg washing capacity: more than pure foldable washing machines, 3 kg covers a single household's laundry well per cycle
- Timer on board: the wash duration can be preset via the time setting instead of standing next to it
- Hoses included: inlet and outlet hose plus mains plug are included, ready to use straight away without extra purchases
- Safety functions: protection against overheating and short circuits is integrated according to the manufacturer
Points of criticism
- Small spin chamber: only 1 kg per spin cycle, with a full 3 kg wash load you have to spin repeatedly
- Considerably more expensive than the sister model: roughly twice as expensive as the practically identical cheaper Steinborg variant, the premium needs justifying
- No heating programme documented: the information makes no statement on water heating, warm water may have to be filled in yourself

Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Steinborg 2-Chamber Top-Loader in everyday use: two separate chambers (washing and spinning run in separate chambers, so you can work in parallel and do not have to awkwardly move laundry across) and 3 kg washing capacity (more than pure foldable washing machines, 3 kg covers a single household's laundry well per cycle). The weaknesses have to be stated honestly: small spin chamber. Only 1 kg per spin cycle, so with a full 3 kg wash load you have to spin repeatedly.
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.
