I had for 7 years another brand and I LOVED IT.
Forced to buy a new one and a different brand, since that one was discontinued I decided after some research on this Insignia.
I will list everything I don't like about this machine.
1. Is wider by 1 inch and the washing capacity listed at 1.6 C FT is smaller, can you believe it?
2. It takes way less water, one load the largest is smaller than previous machine and my washing time longer. 12 inch inside is not filled with water, I wanted to add manually but it won't work and I had to let the water out
3. It has one hose for hot water one for cold water, I have to watch when it rinses since it won't take hot water, it will stop working.
4. It doesn't wash the clothes as well as previous machine, they don't come as clean, I am using the same (the best german) detergent. For me, the test is the kitchen towels.
5. The drain hose is fixed, when is done washing I have to play with that drain hose up and down in order to get all the water out, since I don't want to store it in the closet with water in it.
If you live in a building apartment and use a closet to store it, like I do, 1 inch means a lot.
I also have to be very careful since being one inch wider makes a huge difference where I am storing it, with the fixed drain hose attached is actually 2 inch wider.
It looks well build, for this I gave it 2 stars but has some very important shortcomings , in my opinion, it doesn't make it better as function just better looking.
Sadly I didn't pay attention at return details as being only 15 days and I am stock with this failure of a portable washer. I read 30 days, but is for different products, major appliances is only 15 days, remember.
If you never had a portable machine or a better one to relate too, this might work. Remember you need 23 inch wide storage space, add one inch at least for the fixed drain hose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I needed a washer after my old one stopped working. I did not want to spend a lot of money and this washer was the best purchase I have ever made. It is small but it works for me. Eco/Normal mode only takes 15 minutes and the chime to say it is done is wonderful. Cannot say enough about this washer.

It takes so much time to do laundry that’s a fact nobody likes to deal with. Having it set up to the kitchen sink cuts the laundry task in half! Love the fact it has hot and cold inlet valves so in the future if my full size machine breaks I have a backup. The spin cycle is quiet not like a full size machine. Hopefully it will last!

Due to the COVID 19 my sister was not able to go out and do laundry in NYC. Best Buy deliver this quickly to her. Washer works well and is compact enough that she could fit it in her small apartment.

My wife absolutely loves this thing. We still have to use the community dryer in our complex, but it's so great to have at least the wash done from the comfort of our apt. Best money ever spent!

This has been one of our favorite purchases since we moved into my apartment. We do not have a car and had no easy way of getting to a laundry Matt so this was great to add to our place!
