I live this washing machine . I live in an apartment and this is the perfect size, not too small. It washes your clothes very good . You can connect it right to your faucet, but I can’t connect mine that way because I don’t have a standard faucet. But I did connect mine underneath, directly to the water line. I had to purchase a few extra pieces but it’s ok that’s what worked for me. Overall it’s perfect.

One week in, all great!

As described and very satisfied after a couple uses. Very quick set-up, easy to use and works wel. Completed a medium and a large load. I did stay with the two loads to see how things went and was happy with its operation, not as noisy asexpectedand closed door made watching a tv a non issue. Taking a chance paid off - great product.

Must read the Manual!!

Set up takes a few mins but its not bad. If you need the inner thread you have to use the adapter and remove one of the washers. then you will see the inner thread. I do stress to read the Manual. I didnt and I was having a lot of problems. Ex: my clothes were still very wet once the quick cycle was done. When I tried to put it on spin only it was washing them again. Only when I read the Manual did I know there was a difference in the cycle if the light was flashing it or not flashing. After that it was soooo much better doing laundry. I was on the verge of returning the washer. Its bigger then you think it is which I was very happy with and I do recommend buying the dolly. So much easier to roll it around if you aren't going to have it stationary.

DO NOT BUY!!!

Not worth it. Item came a little banged up but it was superficial so no big deal. The problem is that it doesn’t spin properly and my clothes are almost soaking wet after a cycle. I live on the third floor. No elevator just stairs. If it wasn’t such a hassle to return the item I would have from the get go. $400 is a lot of money to practically give away in these times! Definitely DO NOT buy!!!!

GOOD BOY

I got tired of loading 4-5 giant bags of laundry into my car every 4 weeks so I decided to get a machine for the apartment. This is a large machine, nothing like the compact small ones for a tiny load of laundry. I was shocked at the height and capacity of the actual machine. It works well and has line for hot and cold. I use my kitchen sink to dispose of the after wash water and you should always make sure there is nothing in sink to block the drain. I only had one error so far and that was the tub not draining during the rinse cycle. After a few trys, then going to the manual, all I had to do was reposition the drain hose (don't ask me why) and the water drained. It gets my clothes clean and the spin is powerful enough that I do not need a dryer. I do use dryer if my work clothes need to get some wrinkles out. Overall a good purchase. Now I have to reconfigure my kitchen to handle the largeness of the washer/dryer combo. I will not be putting large king size blankets/comforters/pillows/sneakers, saving those for the laundry mat.

I purchased washer as an early Christmas present for my son who has a growing family (one young child and another on the way) when their washer broke. I have the smaller version of this washer so I knew it worked well. My son and his girlfriend love the washer because it does not take up nearly as much space as their previous one. It’s designed slimmer and taller so it still holds a normal size load. It was easy for my son to hook it up to the sink (they are not using the faucet adapter) and easy to manage the setting and controls. They love it. The only con is theirs like mine doesn’t really come with a proper laundry detergent, fabric softener

Satisfied customer

This washing machine is amazing! It's practically full-sized but just small enough to keep in a kitchen or laundry room. I currently don't have the hookup for the traditional washer but this one is great. If u have a smaller portable machine and you're looking to upgrade then this is a must buy. I ordered online via Walmart and it arrived in less than a week. It was very heavy so one or two guys need to carry it and assemble it. The first couple of washes were a bit noisy but after it was "broken in" it's now quiet but powerful, and it works like a charm. It's great to do laundry in the comforts of your own home. I definitely recommend!

Happy with it SO FAR...

This machine is taller than I expected, they apparently made it taller so that it would still fit where the lesser capacity units fit - for me it is a good trade off. The "pulsator" is powerful, and they're not joking when they tell you to mind your zippers and such. This is larger than any other portable washer I've seen so far. It's almost like a regular-sized washer with portable hookups! The unit is fairly light weight for it's size. I was able to fit a twin quilted micro-fiber blanket in it with room to spare. The controls are easy to use, pretty much you choose on in each column to do a load. The hoses are very cheap, I'm replacing them with a better set. THE ONE COMPLAINT I have so far, is the "quick-release" adapter does not have a way to release the pressure before removing it, so cover it with a rag or you may get a face full of pressurized water. I reserve the right to edit this review at a later date, depending on the number of problems that may/may not arise. FOR NOW, I'M HAPPY WITH THIS UNIT.

Love it!

I love this machine. I was a little hesitant to order due to the reviews about many receiving it "banged up", but mine was delivered in perfect condition! I love it, it is so much bigger than expected. I immediatly startung washing and set up was easy. I would recommend a dolly, this machine is extremly heavy. It does have 2 wheels but to be honest they are useless. This is a great investment!

I love this washer!

I love this washing machine! 3 cu ft is a major upgrade from my much smaller 1.7 cu ft washer, I can get so much more laundry done faster than before. Its very effective cleaning power is awesome, too. The only drawback I have is the spin cycle sounding like a jet is about to take off every other minute during the process.

Hi TyaS, we are happy to hear that you are enjoying your RCA 3.0 Cu Ft Portable Washer. It is normal that the spin cycle generates noise as the motor spins the drum at high speed to extract water.
