I am looking to buy a mini washer with spinner attached. I am currently pregnant and I only wash cloths about once a week it is getting difficult going so far to wash cloths and becoming very expensive. if I buy one I will most likely use it every day so it has to be able to pump water out automatically it can not be gravity fed, I won't be able to pick it up when I'm 7,8,9 months pregnant. In my house hold already is Me, My husband, and his daughter. Will it even be worth it getting one and how much will it increase my electric bill. I'm not as worried about water, we get it for free, but my electric bill is already about 120 a month. I can't afford it to be much higher than that. It would be great if you have had experience and can let me know if it will work out, I really don't want to buy a large washer and dryer, that will really raise my electric bill, and I can't have that. please and thank you so much!!

You are not addressing the important issues. You do not want to have to lift your washing machine: it's bad enough just having to lift the clothes. You can get washers and dryers on the local craigslist, but only get a front loading washer, and then set them on boxes so you don't have to bend over and lift the clothes.
The electric bill is not a problem, but venting the dryer outside is. You absolutely have to have a dryer vent, and you have to clean that vent once or twice a year to prevent a fire. So be sure you can get to it, whatever it takes.
RV equipment is a circus. You can see what's available at www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=rv+washer+and+dryer but I recommend you go to a used appliance store. I got my washer and dryer both for $430. I set the dryer on a stack of bricks so the two doors were the same height. But you can get a storage chest someplace to hold the machines up.
I say again, you really don't want the kind where the dryer sits above the washer.
