    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!

    Washes Better Than My Full Size at Home

    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.

    Perfect size for laundry room in my apt. Easy hookup. I'll use any wash cycle and spin. The spin cycle cuts drying time.

    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

    This is a good option when you have small children in the home. I do one load every 2 days. For a family of 5. When my oldest 2 are home we do one load daily at night. If you don’t over stuff it and use the heavy lid option it gets things clean. I also washed sheets and thin bed sets. Gets the job done. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have the middle agitator instead because the close does get tangled. So somewhere in the middle of the wash I push stop and untangle the clothes and start it back up so it gets all the close clean evenly. Or when I wash delicates it also has an option. Also I wish the hose came a bit longer. The spin will get your clothes almost 80% of the water out so it makes the drying process faster. We made an extension for it to be longer and we put some wheels under so that we can move it easily since have it in a small restroom. Easy to use and instal. Was delivered in great condition. When we bought this we did have in mind that we have to save as much water as we can in the home to make up for the washers water.

    Small Washer ... Big On Features

    I bought this for use at our Florida bungalow and as a surprise for my Valentine. So far, it has shown ideal service in all features. The size allows a small footprint in our laundry, easy hook up and space conservation in our outdoor shed area. All controls are easy to understand and use. I just find it a delightful little appliance! My wife enjoys it's simplicity and the transition from a normal size washers was a snap. The price point is good and it is well made. I did some exhaustive research before ordering this unit and I feel I was rewarded in my efforts. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. If one is ever found on display, I would recommend a look.

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but read the reviews and bought this. I couldn't be happier. The set up was easy, (except that my hot water valve got stuck open when I flushed the line, LOL) I started my first load, overloaded it a little, but it was my first try. All of the functions worked great. . . but when I took the laundry out I was shocked. The spin made them closer to dry than any commercial machine I have used at the laundromat ever. . . I love that I can set this to pre-soak, and extra rinse. . . and having 2 inlets for the hot and cold water means I don't have to mess with temperatures. . . And it came with the hoses, and an adapter if you don't have a regular hookup and need to use it from a sink.

Definitely recommend this washer to anyone like myself who lives in an apartment with small space. It is easy to store and bring out to use when I need to wash. I so like the convenience of it.

    This unit was very easy to set up, with the connections that came with it. It cleans my clothes quite well, and has a surprising amount of power for a smaller unit. I bought this washer because I don’t like taking my clothes to a public laundromat. That said, you will still need to do so for billy loads, but I don’t count that as a negative, being that you know you’re buying a smaller washer. Definitely recommend to anyone living in an apartment where normal laundry hookups aren’t available to you. I also want to say that the men that brought it out to me at the curbside were very helpful. Great customer service.

    Works well, clothes come out nice and clean. It is easy to move around. The set up was easy and came with everything needed for hookup. You can do a decent size load. The only setback was it had a dent when we received it. Best Buy service department helped rectify the issues.

    I was a little worried at first at the size of the washer. I was tempted to change my order. But when I got it I was so happy. It loads more than my last washer because it doesn't have the center piece that twist back and forth. And it washes pretty quick, almost twice as fast as my last washer so I can actually get two loads done in about the same time. It's also perfect for when I move it's a lot easier to move if I need to.

    I’ve had this little washer for a few months and haven’t found a single thing to complain about. I use it at my kitchen sink. It does a great job getting clothes clean. It’s easy to move and comes with all the accessories you need to use right out of the box. Shipping was several days quicker than expected. Thanks again Best Buy for never disappointing me.

    I've had this for about two months now and have done many loads in it. Together with a drying rack from Ikea, I love it. I did wind up buying a 10' hose and an extension kit for the drain hose so that I could set it across the kitchen from my sink, and with those in place it works great. As a single person I can get my laundry for the week done in under two hours, leave it to dry overnight, and it's ready to put away in the morning. Even without using a dryer it feels like this is the easiest way I've ever had of doing laundry.
