Small Washing machine

Marina
Laundry question - I live in an apartment complex with shared laundry, it's clean, but there just one very big washer and dryer , big enough for pillows and comforters. As I can imagine (FTM) there will be a lot of baby laundry, pretty much everyday. What do you mind thing of getting a small washer and dryer like Panda( $150) that doesn't require hookups? If it helps me through the first year - fine, I don't expect much more. Or should I just use shared washer as needed ?
Thank you
