I live in an apartment that has no laundry. I purchased a Haier portable washer a little over a year ago. Target had them on sale, and I also used a gift card, so my final cost was around $230.00---a great deal. But most important is, I love, love LOVE it!! It sits right to the left of my sink, out of the way so I never have to move it: I just pull the hose across the counter. I cover it with a round tablecloth when not in use. The absolute best is when I hang my bedding and clothes out to dry outside on my carousel rack; they smell so fresh. Best investment I ever made.
@@DaBonaFideTruth The increase is not much. I was paying $20 a week to wash my laundry as a single person. My electric bill went up $5-$6 a month. The same with the water bill. That's a big savings.
Thank you so much for your video!! I find your verbiage very articulate, clear and informative. I look forward to possibly getting a Haier. It’s brilliant that you read the model number more than once. Super helpful. All the best to you! 😀🙏❤️
FYI... dryers that vent up will collect lent in the house quickly as it dries, so clean your hose and where it collect to the dryer often. If those is lower, say on the floor out the door, you'll have less lent collection issues. Life experiences Iearned passing on knowledge. Both units look nice, enjoy.
Very cool. When I lived on the east coast and could barely afford my utilities, I would allow the dry to vent into the house, by placing a piece of old pantyhose loosely over the end of the metal hose and secured it with a rubber band. After the load dries, I would dispose of any lint and replace. It warmed the tiny trailer I lived in without making a mess.
Wow u made an old memory come back with that idea. My mom used to use a single leg nylon( half of panty hose) as a secondary filter on her dryer. Lol. When the leg filled up she threw it away. Never thought much of it til now when I read your comment. Now I know why she did.
You and you partner really have thought things out! You did your homework and improvised when needed in very practical ways. Thank you for a good instructional video.
Fantastic video! Your style is so calm and informative, and I really enjoyed seeing your setup. I didn't even know these things existed until a few days ago, and my mind is officially blown! No household chore is more irritating than having to plan when to go to the laundromat, so this is basically magic! Cheers! Stella
JC penny has both the washer and dryer on sale came up to $400 dollars for both. Online only. This review helped me with my decision to buy these. Thanks for such a detail review.
Brigitte Cedeno I was curious about the price, thank you for sharing. I hope I can get them both for $400 now. I'd anticipated that it would be more expensive.
Excellent video with great tips on how to fit it in a small apartment. I love how you guys have tweaked it around the curves. I think I feel more comfortable about pursuing a W/D less apartment now.
Great video very informative my wife just bought one two hours ago if she's had a load in there for about 20 minutes and they're not getting dry because of you I realized it takes 60 Minutes to 90 minutes to dry thanks so much keep up the good work
HAve to say . Your review was by far , complete , informative description of not only the specifics to the units but your own exoeriences and thoughts about your purchases and use . I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and valuble info.. Thank You VERY much...Youre AWESOME.. Peace
Great video! I like how you thoroughly explained both appliances in fine detail :). If I ever get a studio with no washer/dryer connectors, I’m def considering this.
I have been looking at a few models of compact washers and dryers and I have to say these are the ones I'm going to buy thankyou for such a great video
I have always simply used one leg of a ladies sheer stocking held in place with a band to catch the lint. Easy to change. Lasts a long time. No need to vent. An engineer told me about this. Venting is awkward inside an apartment. What a good hack!
I have had a washer /spinner for about 8 months & love it. But, I have wanted to go with this type set up next time. Thank you for posting. The dryer won't work for me as no way to vent it. Windows are painted shut being old apartments. At least I know now what needs done!! Thanks again!
I had a portable washer & a Dr. Dri portable dryer when I was living in Cincinnati. But because of a death in the family, we had to move to California. I almost cried having to leave it behind, anyway I am looking for another one. I really like your review, thank you. I am VERY interested in this set. Again very good review & thank you.
This video was very very helpful. I don't think you left anything out! Such a detailed video I don't think I need to watch another video or do any more research. Thank you!
Great review. It’s not as convenient to have compared to a full size set, but you live in a 1br, no hook ups, and it gets the job done so nicely, it’s wonderful! Brilliant!
Informative video. I like your clever solutions for properly washing and drying laundry. Looks like a very convenient setup to have! Properly venting a dryer in a small space is crucial! Don't want all that moisture from the dryer spewing back into the home. Happy washing!
I own my own home and it’s just me living here and this would be absolutely amazing I thought about getting a normal size washer and dryer but I don’t need it this would be perfect thank you so much for your video
There great little washers the one I had wasn't electronic controls like that it was knobs but anyway you need to get a lint trap over the water discharge water or your drain lines will get clogged up and the dryer works great with less then a load and put a dry towel in it when you start drying and the dry towel heats up and the cloths dry in half the time
Thank you for doing this review! I have the washer, and was looking for the matching washer. You can also fill it from the shower head spout if you have a set up with the water (hot/cold) on separate nozzles so that you can control water pressure (so the washer doesn't stop and ring an error).
This is a modified copy of DAEWOO washing machine with air bubble. I own one and is working flawless for over 12 years. The command panel is almost identical. I think this is a licensed machine from Korean Daewoo washing machine. A fine quality one.
Absolutely great video I'm also looking for a dryer, you did a wonderful presentation yes I enjoyed every minute and you answered all my questions thank you
A nice informative video. A couple suggestions. Install separate connections to the plumbing under the sink in either the kitchen or bathroom. Not a large expense considering the convenience. Of course this will vary with your skills and what’s available under the sink, and your ability to shut off the water if renting. Foam insulation board or plywood can be a sturdy substitute for the cardboard window panel. With a little effort it can be secure with cheap vise grips preventing the window opening. Can keep pets and children in and Darth Vader out So he’s not interrupting your videos. I actually use those on any window with questionable latches or with window units.
I'm in the process of during research on buying a portable washer for my apt .... you went step by step , great explanations at a100....... thank you , HAIER should compensate you because you just sold one of their washer/dryer ,..... getting one tomorrow
great video thank you so much one important thing I think you should point out is that it plugged into a regular wall outlet I think this very important especially in an apartment setting 😊
I have an older model of that washer. I used it in my 26' travel trailer that I lived in for 2 years. It worked great. I am now in a small house that has a washer and dryer so it sits unused in a small space in my kitchen. A lot of times I will hang my clothes to dry inside near a heater instead of using a dryer.
@@sandralee9155 this was so long ago, but for other people wondering.. the hose did come with it, I had to buy a small adapter at Home depot but that was all. I ordered from Haier website, but I am sure amazon sells it now. still have it, still love it
Excellent review. Well done, and very creative of you and your husband. I just wish I could find that model dryer, they don't seem to be around anymore.
1. Make a bucket with a hole through the lid to put your dryer hose in. 2. Drill many holes for air to escape. ( Kinda like a sprinkled donut ) + 1 larger hole to refill water. 3.Put a few litres/quarts of water in it to catch any lint and dust particulate that comes out of it. 4.Put an exhaust or small fan in/by your window or just recycle the heat in winter time. This will save bulky hoses running all over the place and a bit of $ in winter. P.S. You are really cute!
I just discovered the portables for some reason, but I have a basement w/washer/dryer. But it's good to know these are out there as one day when I get older & full of arthritis to make steep stairs, I can get a set of these!
Shana Webster I have the washer, a smaller one, and I seriously can't live without it! The electrical is a mere $13.00 a YEAR, and the water usage minimal. My landlord pays water; I've had mine over a year and her accountant hasn't noticed any discernable increase. BUY ONE :)
I have had the same Haier washer and dryer for three years. The washer just broke--I believe it's the pump that broke actually. The washer was annoying because it would twist up the clothes and damage them. Some delicate things were better to wash by hand. Other than that it was fine. It washes TINY loads. The dryer is VERY slow and can take only about three towels at a time. for regular clothes (not towels) it can hanldle about 1/3 of a regular size dryer load. It generates heat similar to blow dryer using your 120 V. It takes 2 to 4 hours to dry a load. Which is fine for one person like me. I had a regular washer and dryer my whole life, so this was hard to get used to. But--I was NOT goig to go to the laundrymat. So, I am happy with both. I will replace or repair the washer. This is probably the BEST alternative to no hookup washer and dryer you can get. Don't expect them to last a long as a big washer and dryer though.
i have had a haier hlp21n-wm for about 10 years. a few months ago i replaced the belt. last year the drain hose which cracked from bending it into the washer repeatdly because it drains into the bathtub. i got the dryer that was available at the time as well. it's still going fine. i've bought a new wool lint filter that is part of the lint trap assembly. it gets pretty full with 2 cats and a corgi. mine is a slightly smaller. it's a 1 rather than 1.5 and can fit queen full, fitted, and pillow cases in one load. about 2 sweat pangs, 2 shirts and socks, etc. i use beach towels that i can do one in. they get pretty heavy when wet. sometimes i'll add washcloths or socks but nothing big with the towels. i liquid plumber the bathtub every couple of months. the lint trap is pretty good but some still gets through. they're a good brand. they were better when they were made completely in new zealand. the newer models are made in china like everything else.
This is a great review. I have been looking for a small washer and dryer. I have the full size ones but they are 2 stories down in the basement. I want to get smaller ones to put on second floor and use them for small items. Shirts, socks, underwear, etc. An just use the large ones for jeans, hoodies, etc. This will save some much water and energy.
Adding this to a playlist so that when I finally get my own place (and it probably won't have in-unit washing/drying), I won't waste money at public laundromats. I was actually wondering about this not too long ago.
Ingenious way that you found to vent the dryer and block the rest of the window up ! Excellent.
Your invention of the cardboard adaption for the window was very clever.
It comes with the dryer or you can buy one. She did not invent it LOL
USFanlovesjiwoo that piece of cardboard does not come with the dryer.... she made it... you must be thinking of the metal vent
I had no idea anything like this existed. Thank you for sharing this.
Alpha17x I didn’t either! I highly recommend the both especially the washer for apartment or tiny house dwellers.
thats because you and little Lordfontloroy spend too much time plating video games
I LITERALLY just heard about this. I've been missing out 😫
Alpha17x I washed my full light weight comforter in mine. Ran it though twice just to make sure. Came out wonderfully clean and fresh smelling.

I was looking for information about this washer and then you showed the dryer. I'm buying them tomorrow. Thanks so much.
I have that washer, I love it. For apartment dwellers, it's a must. Saves me so much money too.
About how much are you saving ? With it being plugged in and using water from the sink, by how much have your water and light bill increased to?
@@DaBonaFideTruth The increase is not much. I was paying $20 a week to wash my laundry as a single person. My electric bill went up $5-$6 a month. The same with the water bill. That's a big savings.
How much was it??
Does it have to be plugged into the sink or can you use a washer hookup?
Thank you so much for your video!! I find your verbiage very articulate, clear and informative. I look forward to possibly getting a Haier. It’s brilliant that you read the model number more than once. Super helpful. All the best to you! 😀🙏❤️

best video on smaller washers and dryers
I have the same model of Haier washer in my apartment for over 3 years. It's still working well. A great little machine for small families
Signed in to say thanks, this review was perfect for my needs, you covered every question and item I was wondering about.

Love my Haier. Makes life so convenient. Thanks for showing the dryer and some additional tips.
I have this dryer and the smaller matching washer. They are both great. No problem.
John Keels is it 0.9 washer?
Rayza Mendez 1cubic ft
Nice that see come back massage
You and you partner really have thought things out! You did your homework and improvised when needed in very practical ways. Thank you for a good instructional video.
Fantastic video! Your style is so calm and informative, and I really enjoyed seeing your setup. I didn't even know these things existed until a few days ago, and my mind is officially blown!

Thanks for the detail information about the water hose setup !! This changed my mind & glad you talked more about the dryer!
JC penny has both the washer and dryer on sale came up to $400 dollars for both. Online only. This review helped me with my decision to buy these. Thanks for such a detail review.
Brigitte Cedeno I cant find this? Have a link to it? I really want to buy this washer/dryer combo
Brigitte Cedeno 😂😂😂🤣😂😂
Oh wow! Thanks, the dryer is $65. cheaper from JCPenney's then where I was going to get it originally!!
Brigitte Cedeno that is really cheap for both units . They usually cost about 500 a piece .
Brigitte Cedeno I was curious about the price, thank you for sharing. I hope I can get them both for $400 now. I'd anticipated that it would be more expensive.
Thank you for your video! You have helped me in my quest for new washer and dryer.
I bought the RCA apartment washer 2.1 cubic ft (second hand) this past Monday. I love it two loads in.How did I live without this?
Excellent video with great tips on how to fit it in a small apartment. I love how you guys have tweaked it around the curves. I think I feel more comfortable about pursuing a W/D less apartment now.
I love this!! I was scared of getting an apartment without a washer/dryer but your video is very helpful, thanks for the recommendations

Thank you so much for the great presentation, I was skeptical about buying both but you have convinced me.
Going to buy both. Thanks for sharing your experience and thought on the product. 👍

Gladys Colon I have the same one it is worth it
I love my washer.
I have always simply used one leg of a ladies sheer stocking held in place with a band to catch the lint. Easy to change. Lasts a long time. No need to vent. An engineer told me about this. Venting is awkward inside an apartment. What a good hack!
A very good video of why you chose these. Thank you. You are helping me decide what I am wanting and needing.
That's really nice! Your husband did a great job hooking the drain hoses up!
This is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing. I think I am going to get one myself!
Thanks for the great review I ordered the Washer it arrived in two days and its perfect...
Thanks for the video. I just got the washer and dryer and they're fantastic !!!
Aneta Krzeminski what was the cost?
Thank you I have been searching for apartment size washers and dryers to prevent catching cabs to the laundry. That will save tons of money
Thank you for this wesome vid. Yay to you and your awesome husband!! You've sold me on this product. Purchasing these ASAP!!
Was thinking of getting a set like that your video really helped me on buying them. Great video
I have had a washer /spinner for about 8 months & love it. But, I have wanted to go with this type set up next time. Thank you for posting. The dryer won't work for me as no way to vent it. Windows are painted shut being old apartments. At least I know now what needs done!! Thanks again!
Pretty cool and I like the way you engineered the vent hose to go out the window.

Your apartment looks super cozy. I love it.
Love love love the reviews and demo!
So awesome 😉 your setup. Love the window trick and in the kitchen.
Nice video. Full of info. Straight to the point with relevant chitchat. Saving.

Very nice and informative video. You and your husband are very resourceful. Thank you for the information.
Yes madam... really liked this video...you and your husband had arranged everything within the limited area with clean setup...keep it up...!!! 👌

Great video very informative thank you for doing it. My wife and I enjoyed it!
Sounds wonderful, expect all week its been between 0 and 11 degrees. But thank you for the video; I'm going to keep looking for possibilities.
Great video you guys! Great ingenuity as well! This was very helpful, thank you!
Absolutely great video I'm also looking for a dryer, you did a wonderful presentation yes I enjoyed every minute and you answered all my questions thank you
Wow, you've done very well, I like the review ! I need this set up in my life. :-)
I had no idea! Thank you for this educational video. Rushing to pick up my dryer. Tired of communal washing and smelly clothes
you have a great setup. i'm glad I watched this video!
Love this video thanks for the great tips will be investing in a haier washing machine.
A nice informative video.
A couple suggestions.
Install separate connections to the plumbing under the sink in either the kitchen or bathroom.
Not a large expense considering the convenience.
Of course this will vary with your skills and what’s available under the sink, and your ability to shut off the water if renting.
Foam insulation board or plywood can be a sturdy substitute for the cardboard window panel.
With a little effort it can be secure with cheap vise grips preventing the window opening. Can keep pets and children in and Darth Vader out So he’s not interrupting your videos.
I actually use those on any window with questionable latches or with window units.
Great video. Thanks for all the info.
I'm in the process of during research on buying a portable washer for my apt .... you went step by step , great explanations at a100....... thank you , HAIER should compensate you because you just sold one of their washer/dryer ,..... getting one tomorrow
Wow, you guys are very smart. Really enjoy the video. Bravo 👏 and thank you 😊
Good video... Love the sprinkler setup!
Very informative. Thank you.
great video thank you so much one important thing I think you should point out is that it plugged into a regular wall outlet I think this very important especially in an apartment setting 😊
I have an older model of that washer. I used it in my 26' travel trailer that I lived in for 2 years. It worked great.

that was great, thank you
m4al does that hose attachment to the sink come with this washer? Also what's the price and where can I buy it dear?
@@sandralee9155 this was so long ago, but for other people wondering.. the hose did come with it, I had to buy a small adapter at Home depot but that was all. I ordered from Haier website, but I am sure amazon sells it now. still have it, still love it
Very nice. Looking at these for cabin use. Thx for review
thank you! you did a great job
Excellent review. Well done, and very creative of you and your husband. I just wish I could find that model dryer, they don't seem to be around anymore.
This is such a great video and very helpful!!!
This is great! Thank you for sharing this!
1. Make a bucket with a hole through the lid to put your dryer hose in.
2. Drill many holes for air to escape. ( Kinda like a sprinkled donut ) + 1 larger hole to refill water.
3.Put a few litres/quarts of water in it to catch any lint and dust particulate that comes out of it.
4.Put an exhaust or small fan in/by your window or just recycle the heat in winter time.
This will save bulky hoses running all over the place and a bit of $ in winter.
P.S. You are really cute!
That's very informative. Did enjoy this video. Thank you!
Thanks, you gave me a good idea to vent the lint outside
Thank you for the heads up and being thorough!
I have this washer! I love it.
I just discovered the portables for some reason, but I have a basement w/washer/dryer. But it's good to know these are out there as one day when I get older & full of arthritis to make steep stairs, I can get a set of these!
This is perfect. Good review. Thank you.
You were awesome thank you so much for sharing and helping
