Impressive Portable Washer

Super huge powerful machine gets clothes very clean. Easy to set up connect and use. Love all the functions and cycles. I am impressed with the 66 minute cycle that is amazing and gets laundry super clean plus gets rid of the excess soap. I like the extra rinse option and child lock feature. The delay feature an pause feature are nice too. I do not like that the machine only rinsed in cold water. But I trick it to rinse in warm by setting the machine temp. to cold hook up the water hose to cold and then cut the water on to warm from the faucet so that solves that problem, if you don't have a hot and cold faucet. I just have single faucet so it's basically one or the other but not both. If you are completely hooked up to hot and don't have a double sink faucet hooked up then the rinse cycle does not work because it has to be hooked up to cold which is crazy but no water will not come out. That is why I use the method above because I refuse to wash my laundry in 100% ice cold water. You can wash with hot with a single faucet but no water will come out for the rinse cycle. The see through lid is amazing but does not work if you are washing in hot temperature because it gets all steamed up. Comes with a very detailed fairly easy to understand instruction manual that was very helpful to me as I set up this machine. Makes some noise when washing but not very loud if it gets super loud then it is not leveled an it may not have the laundry evened out on the inside. The bottom roller wheels are ok but I would not depend on them at all. Best to get a dolly (with wheel lock function) and put your washer on that to move it around. If you are washing huge loads or heavy materials I would suggest using the spin only option after initial wash is over to make sure all the water is truly out.

highly recommend

I have had this washer for over a year now. we have not had one problem with it. It has a spot on the inside that catches all the lint and stuff. The lid is nice. you gently tap it down and it continues to close itself. I also like the fact they you can choose to give it either a 8 or 4 mintue extra spin cycle or an extra rinse cycle. We purchased a dolly to put it on so it can be moved around easily.

Did my first wash last night and couldn't belive how quite the machine was and the spin cycle gets the all the water out of the clothes. now am looking for a dryer to go with the washer. Am very happy with the waher. its nice not going to the laundry mat.

A Great Disappointment!

I read customer reviews for months before making this purchase. I saw enough negative reviews on almost every portable washing machine that I didn't purchase one for many months. Now that my RCA 3.0 cubic foot portable washing machine came, and I have gone through the trouble of fitting it into my environment, going through the learning curve, (about 6 weeks), I can say those customers who gave negative reviews about this product were telling the truth. Here is what I believe: Several bugs in the electronic design were never ironed out before making these in mass quantity. Once made, they want to market them and get them off of their hands, out of their warehouses. When they break, people are given a terrible run around. Maybe people, or companies that do not care about customer satisfaction. Yes the machine stretched out all my knits, it's very hard on cloth! And clothes get hopelessly tangled in each other during the fast spin. But sure enough, one by one, all of the things others were complaining about have also finally happened. The machine won't fill. I have the tool box in the bathroom and it's now 3:00 am. I have been up all night trying to fix it. I was able to get it to fill by very, very much taking apart, rethinking, putting back together try again, finally I switched over to the hot water hose and it worked. But now it won't finish the cycle. OMG! I bought the square trade warranty with it, I'm going to have to find out in the morning what I'm going to have to go through to get someone out here to fix it!

Bigger then expected ,

Is so big , I didn't know I have to lift my self to pick the cloths up , the hose is very small, and I do love it, we paid 335 on black Friday, so it was a trick because is now cheaper , smh I'm happy with it but this price $289 is better buy it now but also get a smaller one th is one doesn't fit in my closet where I used to storage the other one.

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.

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.

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.

It washer but received does not drain water

Well it washed the cloths pretty good but I noticed that they had some water left so I started to do a second spin dry, after 2 days suddenly it stopped draining yhe water. So returning the washer to Walmart. If this washer could ony drain the water and spin dry more I would give it a 4 star. I guess I received a damage or return item.
