Please tell me brands and the size that works best for a couple living aboard. Thanks !

Most people I know with a washer/dryer have a Splendide.

Five years now full time, started simple, and have if anything moved towards even simpler.

In regards a washer, have been quite pleased with the ‘best Choice Products’ portable via Amazon. Doesn’t weigh much, and although the load capacity isn’t huge it does the job. Runs off the 1000w inverter we have. Bought in 2018. So glad we are not tied to difficult hand washing or expensive and difficult shore laundering.

Seems like Amazon are out of stock of this washer when I click on that link. .. I’m liking the Spendide reviews at the moment followed by Daewoo

You say you are planning this for a liveaboard cat. There are two factors that you should always consider when buying stuff.

Salt air is corrosive and just about anything that is plain old domestic steel will RUST.
Weight, a sure way to turn a cat into a dog is to overload it, WEIGHT is a killer.

Corrosion, corrosion, corrosion.....What is the construction of these units?

Weight, weight weight.... How much do these units weigh?

From the OPs original feature list and additions, it's pretty much clear this will have to be a very large cat....... a "condo cat" = a dog .........
