My husband and I live in a small apartment. The W/D hookups are in the basement, but, I can't get down there without help and forget trying to do it carrying heavy baskets. The washing machine was quickly delivered by UPS. It fits in a space in our bathroom. The washer comes with everything needed to use it, but, we bought a Y Washing Machine Mixer hose so we could attach a hose to both the hot and cold inlets. We also used Teflon tape, to seal the connections and upgraded the inlet hose to Stainless Steel. The washer is permanently placed on an appliance dolly to make moving it to the kitchen sink easier. It hooked up to our sink easily. We use Tide Pods and drop them in before we add any items. The drum holds up to two queen-sized sheets and four standard pillowcases. Liquid fabric softener is added, while the machine is filling up for its final rinse, 12 minutes before the regular cycle ends. This washer cleans very well and is very quiet. The spinning action, after the regular 42 minute cycle, spins the clothes very dry. This makes drying the clothes in the small Magic Chef dryer easier too. This washer was a great purchase. The only regret we have is not buying it sooner.

Ok, so my review title may be a little bit misleading but here's the deal (and I wish other reviews had mentioned this!) The machine is awesome BUT it sounds like a jet engine as it's taking off while it's in the spin cycle. JET ENGINE. I kept wondering when my neighbors were going to come pounding on my door - and then wondered if I would even be able to hear them over the machine. Other than the spin cycle though, the machine IS pretty quiet. My new quest is to find out how to not use the spin cycle but still get most of the water out of my clothes. It's a little bigger than I had thought (my fault for not measuring) but it gets items super clean and honestly - I love it! It's big enough to take on quite a bit and I will say - with the spin cycle most things don't take long to dry and I don't have a dryer. I hang things up and simply use a fan. Without the spin cycle remains to be seen. I will note that the manual is pretty lame - I am going to go online to figure out what all the different cycles are/mean and see if anyone has ideas on how to deal with the noise issue.

Customers are impressed with the 1.6 Cu. Ft. 6-Cycle Compact Top-Loading Washer's cleaning performance, quiet operation, and surprisingly large capacity for its compact size. Many appreciate the efficient spin cycle, which leaves clothes nearly dry, and the ease of use and installation. The machine's small footprint makes it ideal for apartments or smaller spaces. Overall, the positive feedback highlights its value for its price.
