If you intend to use this as a portable, expect the installer to be clueless. The first time I purchased a portable washer from Best Buy, the installer insisted that I needed washer hookups for hot and cold water. I absolutely could not convince him that the washer was portable and should hook up to my sink faucet. He was so rude that I finally asked him to leave. I paid my apartment maintenance man to hook up the hoses that way I needed. It took him less than 10 minutes. However, it required some physical strength that I lack. Recently, I've been talking to Best Buy reps. They are still clueless about portable washers. I need a hose extension in order to use the washer without blocking my kitchen. They keep trying to order a coupler, which is included with the purchase. They say I cannot order the extension through Best Buy. Another call and they say I need two hoses. Again, they are unclear that it is portable. No one has the same answer. I am disabled, barely surviving on Social Security, and cannot get the help I need with this simple purchase. My hands are weak. I cannot connect a hose extension properly. This is so frustrating that I am becoming too rude to make any more phone calls. I've already wasted hours on the phone. So, I caution you to NOT rely on "expert installers" if you intend to use washer as a portable that rolls up to a faucet. Apparently, this is not a common purchase.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello. These do not require a tech pro guy and comes with installs that explain what is needed to install each appliance. Just remember that the installers will have all necessary tools to do the installation and have installation training. You can speak with Best Buy salesman about cost to do installation. Hope this helps you out in making your decision. Geoff@GEA
