When I first looked at this washer, my first thought was "What have I done". It looked like a small washer that wasn't going to satisfy my needs. Boy was I ever wrong. It fits perfectly in my bathroom. I live in a mobile home and space is at a premium. It was a snap to set up. Just make sure to read & follow the directions and you will be done in no time.
It holds a great deal more clothes than I anticipated and the whole cycle was quiet and the clothes were well washed. GREAT machine.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Let me just say that I am so happy I made this purchase! I was really shocked how big this thing is. I been hauling my clothes back and forth to my parents now for years and I just got sick of it, especially with gas prices these days. Now I'll save so much money just on gas alone to be able to pay for this. Hook up was so very easy and fast. You gotta be careful with the sink hose hookup to make sure there are no small leaks. I used a small pair of pliers to tighten an extra bit and it worked great, but it is plastic so dont tighten too much. The only thing I really dont like about it is that if you lift up the lid while the water is filling up it beeps like crazy until you put it down. The soak feature is really nice when you set it on a heavy load. My first load was a quilt I had on my queen size bed and it was such a work horse. Came out really clean. I was also able to do 5 tshirts and 3 pairs of shorts all at the same time and it did great! Very very quiet as well. I had to mute the TV several times just to see if it was still running. The spin is really good too, gets most the water out of the clothes so they are not so wet when done. I dont have built in washer hookups so this was really great for me, I have an older house built in the 1950's. The bottom cover I almost threw away because it was stuck in the box and I didnt see it but I found it. It didnt fit too well, the holes didnt line up very well but I made it fit. I got the rollers that fit at Home Depot later in the day and they work great as well. I live in the Dallas area so not sure if all Home Depots carry them. I'm just very happy with this purchase. I would love to have a full size but like I say I dont have the hookups for it yet and just splurged on new electric, so this works great for me now. The price on this was really great too at Home Depot. Love my Home Depot. Be sure to read all thru the manual before you start because I didnt know until I got it all going that you can change sides for the outlet hose to the right or left to your preference. Went with the great reviews on this before I decided on this model, so glad I finally did too! What a lifesaver and gas saver too! It's going to be bigger than you think once you get it. this is my first experience with a Haier product and so far I love it!
Yes, I recommend this product.

If you are considering whether or not to buy this, just do it. This is the best purchase I have ever made on anything for my apartment.
It fits more clothes than you might think (1/2 to 3/4 of a fully stuffed coin washer), and only takes 40 minutes on a regular cycle. You can even control the water level based on how full your load is.
I seriously love this. No more walking outside to do laundry, going up and down stairs, wrestling with quarters and scary basements. This hooks up so easily in our bathroom (the sink is the water input, and we have the drain pipe hidden behind the shower curtain going into the tub). I would recommend that you measure your bathroom carefully -- we had enough room so that we can just leave it in there in a corner, but if you anticipate needing to move it around you might want to purchase the wheels (they do NOT come with it even though they are in the picture).
Other pros: SO QUIET. You control the temperature of the water with your faucet, so you can get pretty darn exact. Uses less detergent. The pulsing action twists clothes up less than a normal washer which is great for permanent press and delicates.
Potential cons: If I didn't have my fiance at home, I would have had a really hard time getting this out of the box, tipped on its side to screw on the bottom plate, back upright, and into the bathroom. If you are a woman of average strength, make sure you have a strong friend come help you on delivery day. Also, we didn't need the wheels, but they are not included so take that into account if you think you need them.
Yes, I recommend this product.

After reading all the reviews, some good and some bad, i was unsure of what to expect, but am so pleasantly surprised at how great this washer really is. Its pretty quiet, fits more than i originally thought (can fit a twin comforter without issue), and does a great job. The one thing i had a small issue with was the fill hose leaked slightly when first attached but now even that stopped, i guess it just needed to work in. Overall this is a wonderful small machine that handles washing like a big machine.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was very surprised when this washer turned up within 3 days of placing my order ten thumbs up for that. I unpacked it and read the manual and put it together in like 45 minutes. I hooked it up and it worked like a charm. Very QUIET, washed the clothes clean and did i mention it was QUIET. I live in an apartment and the washer that they have in the basement want washing your clothes clean at all....This little washer not only washes it clean it spin it dry too. I love it. Oh, and in case I forgot it is QUIET too....
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was so happy when the washer came in. It looked very nice, perfect size but the first wash scared me. This washer is so load when wash and spin is a nightmare. I have to turn on the TV very loud and still you can hear this washer. I have to look when my neighbor are leaving to work so I can start washing. Waste of money! The funny part is that I paid so much for shipping and now to return it will cost me another $40.

This washer does exactly what I need it to do! it got my clothes clean, it's compact and easy to move out of the way. The one thing I am slightly disappointed in is how much noise it really does make. I Asked my downstairs neighbors if they heard it and unfortunately the did. :/ This washer doesn't use up a lot of water and the standard wash cycle isn't that long (only 36 minutes) so it didn't bother them that I did a load at 9 p.m.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I live in a building that shares a common laundry room on each of 3 floors - but I hate having to clean up after everyone else - plus the hassle of often waiting to use the machines - however, we're not supposed to have personal washers in our units - regardless, I bought the Haier & couldn't be happier - I purchased a shower head nozzle diverter that allows me to attach the water intake hose & choose between my shower head and the water hook up for the washer - just get a 1/2 inch female to 3/4 inch male adapter which allows you to fit a standard washer connection (like the end of a garden hose) onto the standard shower head fixture - then I placed the drain hose over the hand rail inside my shower so it flows straight into the drain - attached the sound diffuser that comes with the washer (to the bottom of the washer) & plugged it in - took a couple minutes to get the hang of cycle setting & water level by using the start/pause button - but it purr's like a kitten - for extra vibration reduction I also placed some felt furniture scooter pads under each leg of the washer too - but the unit is already so quiet on wash & spin cycles that it really didn't matter much - overall it's given me my Tuesday (former wash day) back & I simply now hang everything up to air dry on a new rod I rigged across 2 doors at the end of my bedroom - does relatively small but adequate loads - I run it for 2 wash/spin cycles - with high water setting - to make sure all the soap's out & I'm rockin' - if you're considering this unit due to lack of space or noise concerns then rest easy - 1 thing tho - I don't recommend hooking it up to a sink - too much pressure for many faucets that use flexible feed hoses under the sink - best to use the shower which is solid pipe all the way thru - good luck & enjoy!! - Eric H.

I just purchased this washer arrived in three days . I love it it was very easy to do my first wash and soo very quiet! It even has a spin cycle only if you want to just spin and a rapid wash too. I love the three water levels and cycles. Easy to hook up to your bathroom sink or in your kitchen and it has castors! It is lightweight too. I would be paying 2.00 a load so I am sure going to be saving at least 24 dollars a month on laundry great! I plan to buy the matching dryer too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

3 months off the electrical grid and this is rthe only machine that our Duracell 1800 PowerCell will "turn over". It is an awsome little machine and cleans beautifully. We have a laundry room and ignore the sounds it makes lol!

We needed an affordable portable washer for our apartment. The laundromat was eating us out of house and home and many machines typically didn't work. The laundromat was certainly within walking distance but during the winter, the snow and ice would make this problematic. I knew there were affordable portable washers and dryers out there so I found these two as a Christmas present to my wife. She said they were definitely a good investment! We are both very pleased. The lack of an actuator spindle allows larger loads in a smaller space. Actually, the washer handles surprisingly larger loads for its deceptively small appearance! The washer is amazingly quiet! By attaching furniture moving pads to the feet, we can slide the washer with ease from its berth to the sink and back. What a great washer this is!

If it worked more often, it would be great. The very first day, water started gushing out of the bottom of the unit. Repairman had to reconnect a hose under the machine. Two weeks later, water came gushing out from under machine. I turned it over this time and looked underneath. The other end of the same hose has come off - it almost seems like it isn't quite long enough so I have to call a repairman again. Sure wish I could wash clothes, especially all those towels I have to use to mop up water.

We bought this washer for our RV. I have used it for several loads thus far and love it. I didn't like using the washers in the campground laundry room. It is great to have it to wash small loads or you can wash fairly large loads too. I also like having two rinse cycles.
