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.

In lust

OMG, I am in lust. Although slightly larger than I anticipated but not much I still appreciate this piece of machinery and have recommended it already. I was worried about the possible sound of it but to compare it is no lounder than a dishwasher. Setup was simple except one small something and that is I have to obtain a split adapter in order use both hot and cold water hoses. But, no complaints.

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 my portable washer!

This portable washer has great size and you can wash a comforter or two depending on size I can wash one queen size comforter and sheet set easy. I love the quality of the cleaning of my clothes and I can get many clothes washed in one day. Overall, this was a wise and economically helpful choice! Space is not an issue just the best choice for those reasons. Yes. I would have preferred the 6.0 washer that I still keep in my basement but I like this washer just the same. As the quality of this washer is not less than my 6.0 washer. Just a tad bit smaller however, it makes less noise and it washes like a champ!

There will be dents

First off, this thing is HUGE. I took measurements of the space I had for it before purchasing, but in person, it's so much larger than I had imagined. It was very easy to set up. I did run a small load and so far, so good...for a quick wash, it said it would take 40ish minutes, but many minutes were spent idling, not actually washing, rinsing or spinning. Unfortunately, my machine arrived with some dents. From what I can tell, they're all cosmetic and the washer seems to be working fine.

This Washer is a Life Saver

This is a must buy! It was a lot bigger than I expected. I am able to put my king comforter ( $40-$50 ones from Walmart) in there with no problems. I also was able to put 7 full sized towels in there with no problems. It is a little smaller than a full size washer. I will say it’s not as “portable” as the smaller ones. The washer IS NOT on wheels. It works best if you station it as close as you can to your sink for a permanent setup. The hose isn’t long at all, so you will need to buy an additional hose and a clamp from a hardware store. I got both from Home Depot for $12. In the back of the machine, it comes with a hot and cold port. I live in a apartment, and I kept the hot port covered. If I want hot water, I just turn it to hot. The washer will leave black streaks if you slid it across a tile type floor. Sometimes while washing, I smell a burning type smell, but it hasn’t affected the way it works in anyway. The smell also doesn’t last very long. If you purchase this machine, make sure you clean the blue lint trap inside of it.

Nice washer

I just started using it and it will take a bit to get use to. I thought it was broke at first because it drains different during the rinse, spin cycle. It doesn't spin at the beginning to get rid of water,it draina first then spins the rest of the water out. I seen in reviews people having trouble with the spin cycle not getting the water out ,you might want to check the length of the drain pipe it should only be about 35 inches. Overall it's a nice looking machine and the drum is huge. Will update when I've had a chance to use more.

Excellent for a portable washer

This washer is a life saver. It is plenty big to do fairly large loads of laundry for a portable washer. It does function as well as a full size would recommend if you do not have washer hook ups. Install is easy. Good water levels. If you are hooking this up make sure you have a large drainage area. I use the bath tub hook it up to the bathroom sink. Agitates and is level. Noise is comparable to a regular full size.

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!!!!

Amazing but basic design

I'm not sure if my floor isn't level enough or my load is uneaven or to heavy but every now and then the washer will splash and it will run down and out the sides on to the floor I also think my water is to hot causing a build up of condonation witch runs down the side. The size is perfect I replaced a full size washer with it. If you purchase perhaps place it in a pan made for washers. I have it in seller with concrete floor. The water isn't running on the outside but inside of the tin cover.
