  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 36 5/8 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 20 5/16 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Depth: 20 3/4 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Height With Door Open: 47 13/16 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 1.6 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: false (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
    • Washing Mechanism: Impeller (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
    • Washer Load Type: Top load
    • App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

Q: For the water intake, is there one hose or two hoses used?

A: It uses two, but does include a cap for the unused inlet if you choose to just use one. Hoses are included in the package.

Q: What does an average load look like? Could i put 3 pairs of jeans in at once?

A: depends on your size and the style of your jeans- probably not if you are a size 22. Size 16 or less would probably be ok for 3 pairs of denim jeans. However, the good news is that even if you are a larger than a size 16, two pairs of jeans will fit nicely; and if you wash them on the 15-minute cycle they come out clean ready to hang dry or go into a dryer. The beauty of this machine is that it is extremely gentle on your clothes even on the Heavy cycle which is 44 minutes consisting of 1 wash and two rinse cycles followed by a super-fast spin. Also, I believe the dry weight limit per load is SIX pounds. Perhaps this comparison might help: 1 KING KNIT SHEET is all I can wash at a time. So it takes TWO wash loads to wash my KING KNIT sheets. I do not want to risk ruining the machine by filling it past the halfway mark with an item the will be extremely heavy once saturated with water. Hope this helps.

Q: Is this easily hooked up to a bathroom sink?

A: Yes, it is relatively easy to connect to a single bathroom sink faucet. I hooked mine up to the bathroom sink, and drained the outlet hose into the toilet. Works great.

Q: I would like to know is this machine used as a portable washing machine in the Kitchen with a hose that connects to the kitchen sink faucet, via adapter.

A: This comes with a couple of attachments that will allow you to attach it to a regular kitchen sink or one with special faucets. I hooked ours up to a standard kitchen sink. At first the mouth piece on the hose wasn’t fitting but I figured out if I took the black rubber washer inside another attachment it came with and placed it in the regular hose it fits snuggly onto my sink. They do sell additional hoses if it didn’t fit to your sink, but I really think the included ones fit a multitude of sinks. Sorry tried to easily explain it.

Q: I will have to store in closet and I'm 65. Can I roll it easy or do I need a dolly? And if I need a dolly do yo recommend one?

A: It is very light. You will be surprised. It also has wheels. You shouldn't need a dolly.

Q: Does it has a lint trap that can easily remove?

A: Hi there! Yes there's a lint trap inside of the drum, which easily clicks out and back in! Great little feature.

Q: Can I wash one bulky King Sized Bed Blanket alone at once?

A: It's going to depend on how heavy it is. . . you might be pushing it with a King size. A blanket might work. . . I comforter might be to much. I am very happy with mine. It does more than I thought it would I washed 4 pairs of jeans and some t-shirts and socks and everything got clean, if that helps.

Q: Does the Rinse cycle fill up with water or just spray your clothes?

A: Yes, the rinse cycle will fill with water.
