Anyone Have Experience with AliExpress Washing Machines?

Of course, a good vented unit will often be the best option when it's possible to use one.

Well, that’s exactly what I wrote. But when a dryer is called a condensing dryer, it isn’t a heat pump unit because they call those heat pump units… even though it’s a form of a condensing dryer

How heavy is it?

Its 12kgs, so small outboard weight. We could go into towns every week, but if we are away holiday sailing that's quite a faff. This solves the problem and since the majority of the time we are away sailing in the summer, final drying on the guard rails easy enough.

I don't know how much water it takes because we have used a hose pipe so far, but perhaps 10 - 12L a wash. A spare 25L water container would do a couple of washes.

As previous comments, I would agree the dryer function is just so-so and I use it sparingly just because of the water usage (it's water cooled on the drying setting). I have two units still brand new in the box here in Texas if you're interested.

Do you still have a Winia unit available? I am interested in buying one. I am also in Texas next week (Dallas though).

We have used 2 Daewoo wall-mounted washers. The 1st one lasted approx 3 years before the main bearing failed. It was used quite hard because I was working and washing work clothes. We decided to try again, without establishing the cause of the bearing failure, because we don't have space for a standing cabinet type.

The 2nd Daewoo has lasted about 7 years, perhaps because we are cruising in the tropics with limited clothing. But, just by strange coincidence, the main bearing started complaining, just today. Knowing the symptoms, I don't expect it to last more than a few months longer. This time, I might try to take it to a back street repair shop to replace the main bearing. It's not something I'm confident to attempt.

Just our experience...
