Great washer

-Fast shipping. I ordered on Tuesday night, it was here Friday morning same week. -Packaged well. No complaints there. -Easy to assemble. Just had to screw on the bottom cover, faucet adapter, and water hose. All parts included. -Appearance. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because it had a dent and wasn't what was pictured as advertised. -Functionality. I've washed four loads already. No leaks from the bottom. The large load is really medium-small if it were a bigger machine. It's quiet. Easy to program to your settings. Drain hose needs to be a little stronger. But that's not much of a negative issue. It drained well. The spin is out of this world. My clothes came out cleaned, fresh smelling, and just about dry. I hung my clothes to dry in my bedroom with a space heater. They dried faster than expected. For the 69 minute setting (large load) it spins for about 40 minutes. I really can't complain about that. -Savings. The price for this washer was 199.00. Great price. To add, I used about a fourth of cup if not less of HE powder detergent and a few tablespoons of liquid fabric softener. Use Gain or Tide. I love Gain so that's what was used. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER DETERGENT THAN WHAT'S INSTRUCTED. The HE detergent will preserve your washer and prevent suds. For your clothes, the detergent will get all of them cleaned. But the small amounts water it uses, smaller measurements are mandatory. For the four loads I washed took about 3/4 of scoop included with detergent. More bang for my buck. -Transporting. It has two small wheels in the back. Since the washer is lightweight for me, it's easy to tilt and roll. It has handles to grip. I'm ok with that. I still might buy a dolly. -Overall experience. Completely satisfied. I don't have to go to laundry mat or wash clothes by hand anymore. I've been shopping around for about a year or more before purchasing this machine. Very comfortable and happy about my decision to get this one here. Will recommend to some friends.

Wonderful Washer

I couldn’t have asked for anything more. This washer is a life saver. It saves money, time and headache from going back and forth to the laundromat. I have had this washer for about 3 months and still working like a charm. Easy installment. And the loads that it can wash is incredible. Can’t beat it for the price.

I bought this washer with the dolly 3 years ago and I have no complaints about how it washes. Its compact but don’t let it deceive you bc I can fit a few towels in one load or a few jeans or a full size comforter with no problem. I hope this helps. Yahweh bless

dented washing machine.

after my washing machine arrived i removed it from the box and noticed a dent in the lower left side of the machine,It looked like something pointed and sharp rammed into it. The dent is about four or five inches. I also noticed two other small dents on the left side of the machine.

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS WASHER!!!!!

Purchased this washer for my apartment, ten days later the pump went! Ten days!!!!! Contacted Magic Chef, was told washer was under warranty(ten days I would hope so). They scheduled a repair with some contracted out repair company. When the guy from this company called me he was rude and told me he wouldn't send a repair guy unless I took the day off from work!!!!!! It gets worse. The day they were supposed to come they never showed. I called this guy named Rick who then told me if I didn't like the service to complain to magic chef! So I did. They were even worse then Rick! Finally I got them to get another repair company to service this disaster of a washer. I took the day off(again) and they went to the wrong address and refused to come back!!!! I returned the washer to Walmart and got a refund. Bought a haier, stay away from magic chef.

Works GREAT!

This product was a Christmas gift for my mother and she absolutely loves it. It's quiet, sturdy, and very durable for heavy garmets. The only negative is the wheels. There are only two wheels located on the back side of the washer. In order to move the washer, you have to tilt it back and roll it at an angle. This is not simple for older/elderly adults. Four wheels would've been a much better design.

Great compact washer

So far, so good. Only used it once, but very easy IF you read the directions. Uses only a small amount of POWDER detergent (says use only one-quarter of what soap manufacturer says). It is like the new low water washers so it sloshes the clothes back and forth but no rotating up and down. I was afraid they might not get clean, but really did. Used “large-bulky” setting for a set of full sheets, pillowcases, dish towels, small items

Surprised!

This was a great size and bigger than I imagined it being, which isn't a problem. It's just me and my husband and I use my washer about 2-3 times a week. We opted out of getting a dryer so we have a drying rack. I hook it up to the sink in the kitchen and my only issue is that the adapter for the sink may not be the correct size because it does spray a mist when it's on so rather than stressing to find a new adapter at Lowes, I just wrap a paper towel around it and it works totally fine. It makes me nervous to leave the water running though during the wash when it isn't using the water so I just turn off the water until it needs it again for rinsing. It has only had a code come up on the screen once but I recommend SAVING your manual because it has good information and a list of code errors and how to fix the issue. My issue was just "close the lid" hehe, I wanted to watch it washing but the lid has to be closed for it to wash which is smart I suppose. It's not very loud and I live in a two story home so if I go in the other room and have on light music or go upstairs I don't hear it all. You can get a good amount of clothes in without having to force it and towels are no biggy, I usually only put about 3 max in at a time with a couple other light clothes like underwear and socks. We have liquid detergent and SERIOUSLY it does NOT take much detergent at all. I recommend using just enough to fill the bottom of your detergent lid for a "large load" because a little goes a long way in this compared to a regular washer which is GREAT because we are saving on detergent - big time. Because we don't have a dryer and things have to air dry on a rack, the clothes do feel a bit stiff once dried, but I think it just has to do with how much detergent you are using and how long we let the clothes sit out to dry. If you catch them right as they are dry then they aren't stiff, but if you let them sit for an entire day they get stiff. Once you iron or put them in your closet or drawers though they loosen up like normal. Clothes come out clean and smelling good. I do have a KING size bed - so I wash the top and fitted sheets with a few other whites and use a little bleach and they all come out fresh and the machine can handle it just fine. The clothes do sometimes get tangled up because of the way it agitates the clothes, but that doesn't bother me i just untangle them as i'm putting them up to dry. Because it put it to my sink and have the water connected to just cold on the machine, I decide if I want to wash them in Hot or Cold water just by turning on the hot or cold faucet. Again, no biggy and at least i control how hot or cold I want it.
