Affordable, compact, high quality washing machine
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.I got this during COVID, as I did not want to go to the shared laundry room. This was affordable to me and is a great help since. I was worried about the setup, but it was pretty straight forward actually. I did not have a wall-mounted hot/cold washing machine water line. So, I decided to go with the Sink-water inlet and draining. The washing machine comes up with the mountings that are necessary to attach the water inlet to the sink tap. But remember, in this method you can only use one water hose. So, the way I use it is to keep both hot water and cold water running on the tap and just have one water hose attach to the washing machine that supplies the mixed water. I hope this does not sound too complex. I have also attached an image to clarify. Moreover, the washing machine does an excellent job of cleaning the clothes along with rinsing them nicely. I mostly use the "extra rinse" feature though which in total makes the washing cycle about 65 minutes. For me, this is an excellent compact washing machine that I would highly recommend.

Perfect tiny washer
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.I've had this washer for 3 years or so and it has been amazing. I'm sad to see that it is no longer being made because I can't imagine a more perfect washer for tiny places like our duplex. It washes like any other washer but its compact so fits less clothing which is exactly what we needed. It is also pretty.

Perfect little washer!
||Posted .This washer is absolutely amazing for small apartments! Such a good price and does a great job washing. You can fit a decent amount of clothes in one load even though it’s smaller than a regular washer. Saving me so much money at the laundromat! I just hang dry everything so it’s perfect if you don’t have a hookup for a full sized washer/dryer.

Washes Better Than My Full Size at Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.I've been using this washer in a vacation condo for two years and could not be more pleased. It actually washes clothes better than my full size home washer. It holds more laundry than I was expecting, such as complete queen sheet sets, or multiple shorts/shirts. I stubbed out hot/cold connections in the bathroom with quick disconnects (see photo), and it drains into the bathtub, so using it is a breeze. Using the existing casters didn't work well, so I put it on a small wheeled platform that I bought on Amazon.

I wish I bought this sooner
||Posted .Wow, this washing machine is everything I’ve ever wanted in my studio. I like all the different washing features and how easy it was to set up. It is somewhat big which might be a con for some but it works great for me because I have an open kitchen. It hooks right up to the sink and drinks into the sink. I bought this paired with the magic chef dryer. I’m in heaven

Portable washing machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Smaller than I thought it would be. Had one that was 1/2 size of regular machine. This one feels like its 1/4 size. The drain hose doesn't stay in place while draining into my sink so I have to put a weight on it. Perhaps if it were draining into a non builtin counter sink it would be better.

Perfect machine!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I was nervous buying this. But absolutely love it! It has a 15min quick wash that is perfect for my laundry. Relatively quiet. Easy to hook up and use! Only downside is only 2 very small wheels. Hard to catch good angle to move machine. But my clothes are so much cleaner than laundry room in my complex. Spins very dry and then I hang on a rack for couple hours. Highly recommend!

Great not that little washer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.So far so good. After 3 weeks of use the washer is great for an apartment. Is very quiet, you can load a regular person use of clothes from one or two weeks. Bed sheets also fit in this washer. There is a 15 min wash that is great for gym clothes or daily needs. It is bigger than I thought. I am very happy with it.

Q: QuestionWhat does an average load look like? Could i put 3 pairs of jeans in at once?
Asked by Sarah.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionFor the water intake, is there one hose or two hoses used?

Q: QuestionIs this easily hooked up to a bathroom sink?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionI 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.
Asked by CFamily.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionCan I wash one bulky King Sized Bed Blanket alone at once?
Asked by Coquita.
- A:Answer 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.
