Why didn't I buy it a long time ago!

Washes like a regular waher. I ordered this exact one like in picture but mine came in clear window to see the clothes being washed. it washes my blankets fine and comes out dry. can be paused to add more clothes or to add fabric softner. 51 minutes to wash a big load which is a little under a regular laundry basket of clothes. what I do is let the washer fill up with water on big load setting, then add clothes that way I won't over fill. it comes with the sink adapter and the hoses such as the hose that drains out water and the ones that connect to sink faucet to add water. It connects to regular 120 watt plug in. The only think is it has a lint filter inside the washer that needs to be cleaned regularly maybe every 4 uses because it does catch lint. Other then that it works perfectly. Don't be like me and not buy a washer Dolly to move it from the place you store it when not in use to the sink when your ready to use. Also if you buy a Dryer I got the Panda brand and it dries my load of clothes in one hour on high it also came with the hose for the drier and I just put it near a window and put hose blowing the air out the window. It feels nice to wash at home and not waste time, money and gass on dirty laundromat.

Large enough for most needs

I read a lot of reviews before buying this one. I'm pleased with it and it's performance. I was going to buy the smaller 2.1 size but so glad I got the 3.0. I even washed two blankets at the same time. Now I'm thinking of. Small dryer because I have to crank up my gas heat in order to dry all clothes within one day in my studio in Menlo Park...

Happy with merchandise

I absolutely love this washer. I got tired of having to go into my basement to do my laundry because I have a health issue with my leg. Climbing the stairs is hard on me and causes me a lot of pain. This washer sets on the main level of the house in the kitchen. It hooks up to the kitchen sink when it use and gets moved away from the sink when not in use. The washer is the size of my main clothes washer that is in my basement. It holds lots of clothes and cleans beautifully. I'm so happy that I bought it.

Pain in the butt, could be worse

Took lots and lots of trial and error to find correct sink adapter and by the time I located the right one, I could not return to the store. Nice size but much bigger than I imagined from measurements and my last machine, a Haier. The Haier was trouble free. This has a super short drain hose and electronical plug. The kicker is once it gets to Spin, it starts back at rinse over and over. Makes no difference the load size. I have to stand and watch it to turn it off. I didn't get the plan this time because in all the years I bought plans, the products worked fine. The washer is as big as I am, so I'm not in any rush to move it again. For now, it's just good to have my own washer again. Broken spin cycle and all. I've read that the customer service is nonexistent. You can even find this product on the RCA website where I tried to download a digital manual. They do have an older version. Since the Magic Chef one is the same, I downloaded their manual instead. Probably should have went with their brand. But yeah, glad to have a partially working washer. May see if I can find a repair person at a later date.

HUGE! Great for those without hookups!

This washer is about 24 inches L and W. I was able to get it into a small bathroom in NYC. My bathroom door is 24 inches, so with a helping hand we were able to get it thru perfectly. The install was easy. I extended my drain hose by purchasing a dishwasher discharge hose (6FT) to reach my shower drain. I attached the fill hose to the faucet, using the 4ft one provided. It needs to be tightened with a pair of pliers. When we first turned on the faucet, it was gushing water, but the only issue was it needing to be tightened more. I washed a half bag of a 5-year's old clothes using the LARGE load size, which takes 43 minutes on normal and 48 on heavy. He had about 6 fleece sweaters, 6 pairs of thermal pajamas, jeans, 2-3 long sleeves, 2-3 pairs of cotton pajamas, underwears and 8 pairs of socks. It holds a lot of clothes!!! It looks like it will even fit a king size comforter. I purchased a downy ball, as this does not have a fabric softener dispenser, and that has worked really well. I use liquid detergent about a capful for a large load. This washer uses powder as it has a dispenser for that. I purchased this for a family with 3 kids and this is definitely getting the job done!! I would highly recommend this to single individuals and families. It is convenient and easy to use. My kids love helping with laundry now!! I purchased a warranty from Walmart for $49, just in case anything happens in the next 2 years, I am covered. So far, it is washing great though, and I am pleased with this purchase.

Don't Buy- You can't get parts

I give this a one star. Fist off the washer was damaged in the delivery. Some dents on the sides. The hinge on the door was broken. I already took it out of the box and threw that away. Plus there was no way I could haul that back to Walmart in my car. It seemed to still work just fine. It washed a decent medium size load and worked great up until last week it stopped draining. I called the service number on the owners manual that took me to some Curtis company. They said it wasn't under warranty and they couldn't help me. They said I'd have to contact my local repair shop and pay for the repairs. I contacted a repair shop and it turns out you can not get parts for this model. If I would have know that I wouldn't have bought the machine. Very disappointed in the product.

Awesome

I was amazed at the size this holds quite a bit, features are easy. It says you can only use powder detergent in it which I don't like. I don't think it works well with the powder detergent. Spin cycle can get a little bit noisy. I probably isn't that noisy it's just do that to the fact that I keep it in my kitchen and I'm in a condo and the wall on the other side is the next person's living room and we're actually not allowed to have them in the units here. So that's probably why I'm thinking it's louder cuz I'm afraid they're going to hear it. I've only used it four times and it's works really well it's been dry sack Lowe's really well so yes I would recommend this.

I tried it.

I purchased a cheap wash that clean better than this but it was a headache to rinse. The rinse cycle starts in drain mode from wash so if you in a rush to add fabric softener there is a 4 minutes wait which I find it annoying. Sometimes you will have to rewash one item clothing even when was by itself.

Nice washer but

I love having a washer and not having to go to the laundromat anymore. I received this washer in March and have caught up with all my laundry. The washer is roomy. I am glad I purchased this washer. It washes the clothes well. The only thing I don't like is that it seems to tangle up the clothes. I put certain clothing such as tanks in a mesh bag. I also don't like that it seems certain material of clothing comes out sopping wet. Sometimes I have to spin certain items again for a few minutes to get the excess water out.
