Perfect

I was surprised how big this washing machine is, it is great! I was able to unbox it and set it up myself. Within 20 minutes I was doing my first load of laundry. I have read other reviews where people were complaining about the washing machine shaking all over the place but if you use the balancing feet in the front it is perfect. There's also reviews that it is very hard to move around because there aren't any Wheels, there are two wheels in the back you just have to tilt the washing machine slightly As you move it and it will scoot around just fine. I store mine in a side closet after I drain the hoses and allow it to air-dry, so u move ut each time i ger it out and out it away. This is perfect for a two-person home. I have been able to wash king size sheet set as well as regular clothes without a problem. I have seen other reviews that water has spewed out everywhere when draining so I made sure that I fastened the drain hose on securely with a metal clamp before I started a wash and I hooked the drain pipe onto the edge of my kitchen sink. The one thing I would suggest is putting your faucet and water hose on one side of your sink and the drain hose on the other side of the sink. One other thing that I noticed when washing a heavy full-length terry-cloth robe and a fleece couch throw at once it became very heavy and did not spin well enough. If your washing machine gets off balance during the spin cycle it will push it to rinse again. It is adding water to the drum to make it balanced. So when you hear it getting ready to spin it would be better to be near the machine to make sure that it's not off balance, don't leave it unattended. Then you can pause it, open the lid and rearrange your heavy items. Otherwise you will be like me and you walk away to leave it and come back and it's rinsing for a third time so that is a lot of water being used. The machine is just sensing that it needs water to spin because it's off balance when all you have to do is move the clothes around. If that happens do like I did and turn off the machine, turn it back on and then push the button to spin only which takes about nine minutes. When it is doing a regular load of laundry and not the heavy items it spins perfectly in the items come out nearly dry so you can hang them up to dry and they will dry quickly or just a few minutes in the dryer. So far I have done about eight loads of laundry since I bought this so I will review later on a few months down the road to see how much it has withheld but I do not do a load of laundry per day.

Worth Every Penny!

We had been waiting to purchase a new washing machine but needed one for the main floor of the house due to the fact that as we have aged the basement trip has become too much for us to handle. This RCA 3.0 CF washing machine has been one of the best purchases we have made in years. It is LARGE, so make sure you have the space for it. It is almost as large as our old standard GE washer. Because it is large it has so much room inside to fit laundry. We have been able to wash a queen size comforter in this machine on a large setting which was surprising for us. There are numerous functions for this machine that you can see in the description provided by Walmart. We have found that the "quick" wash is great for items needing a fresh-up and the regular was works great for everyday washing. It has a nice spin cycle on it and the cloths come out just as dry if not dryer than our old machine. This machine is very user friendly and easy to understand. Our only con would be that it does take it a bit longer to fill than a "regular" machine with dedicated water hook-ups. We use this machine in the kitchen and purchased the Stalwart Adjustable Telescopic Furniture Dolly Roller which works perfect with this. One other thing we wanted to mention is that we did purchase the 4 year warranty that was offered by Walmart but hope we never have to use it! :)

RCA washer JUNK!!!!

absolutely junk!!! we have had this washer for 4 months and it is horrible! can't wash a full load. won't spin out your clothes. and don't even THINK about a full cycle wash. it will knot your clothes up so tight you would think you would never get them untied. I just ordered another brand and am going to sell this one at a loss. 400.00 bucks new. I am not a disgruntled customer. I rarely ever write reviews. but in this case I had to al least try to warn the public. and yes, I will let the new owners know how I feel.

Bigger then I thought

It came today and it’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be I haven’t used it yet but I’m definitely going to use it tonight. The only thing I didn’t like is that it has a small dent in guessing from it being transported but other then that it looks good

Excellent, Quiet and still love after 3 years

This maching was a great bargain. I paid $259 on walmart.com but I see the price has almost doubled. I have had it for 3 years with no problems. I replaced my 10 year old Malber that I paid $1000 and was looking for another machine that would fit in my apt bathroom. Wish I had bought a portable from the start. I have had no problems. I believe the price went up because of the China embargo.

Best machine for apartment living.

This machine is awesome has a big tub able to do a basket load at a time. Was way bigger than I thought but yet still compact enough to move to sink. Hooks up to kitchen sink and water drains slow enough to drain from kitchen sink. That is what I was worried about. Plugs into reular plug.

Great Washer

Does a great job washing clothes with a setting for anything you might need it for. Works just like a standard washing machine. It is also really quiet considering how well it washes clothes and how fast it spins. Comes with everything you need to attach it to your faucet and also drains right into the sink through a hose. Perfect for our small apartment.

Twists and stretches the clothes

I have had this machine for a few months now. It cleans the clothes well but twists them into a tangled mass of elongated ropes, so it is definitely hard on them. The drain hose is also too short. It uses less water than other machines, which I like, and has good options. It's good if you cannot have a full sized washer where you live.

Perfect

It’s the perfect size for a family of 4. It fits quite a lot no joke. First one I ordered was damaged but the return was fast and simple. I had to reorder the machine and second delivery was perfect, no damage and it arrived within 2 days. The machine is quiet and I have not heard any complaints from my downstairs neighbor.

Great Washer

I have only had it a couple of days but I am extremely happy with it. It holds more clothes than I thought it would. I have done a few loads and I am very happy with how clean they came out and how well it spinned. It is quiet and I love all the different washing features such as if you want an extra rinse or an extra spin you are able to do this.
