This was so helpful and got me so excited for my haier washer to arrive! I'm having a baby in about a month and was stressing out over how I would get to the laundromat, keep up with laundry with a newborn, etc so my husband ordered me the larger version of this model as well as the ventless haier electric dryer. We ordered it thru target and I got 5% discount with my target credit card as well as free shipping! Now my dreams of cloth diapering can come true as well! I have a portable dishwasher as well that hooks up to the sink and it works beautifully. Whoever invented these sink hookup machines is a hero.
had this washer/dryer set for a year now, live in a 1 bedroom apt so was a great solution, does a great job except things do tend to get tangled in the washer but we prolly load it too full sometimes, never had an issue at all that needed servicing. only thing is the wool lint filter in dryer is a pain , but we ordered extra filters im thinkin was less than 15.00 for a 3 pack from haier we just called number for service rite in front when you open the door, we use a baby hair brush to brush lint off wool filter and get 3-4 months out of 1 filter so can live with that, we found that very rarely we run the brush across the lint screen behind the filters about once every couple of months, but its never bad, we just do as preventive measure we use it on a daily basis, and sometime a couple loads a day, thinkin paid like 700 for the pair from wal-mart was here after 3 days. never have a problem with lint, dust from exhaust and we have no filter on vent. loads are usually dry after 90 min and like said prolly over load it from time to time, so no complaints, it doesn't get as hot hot as a regular 220 volt dryer and was skeptical about buying it, but over all for price and what it is am absolutely pleased and would recommend the set to everyone, oh yeah, since it doesn't get as hot as 220 volt my dress shirts are always wrinkled, tried drying them separate but still wrinkled so just hang them on shower rod rite from washer overnight and they're fine, guess that's only draw back can think of. but small price to pay considering only other option would be laundromat again would highly recommend to anyone who doesn't have room for full size set or 220 access
I've had mine for a month now I guess and really do like it. It basically works like a regular washing machine, but does seem to spin more water out than a regular machine. I'm in a travel trailer and had to change my sink faucet and add a converter so the connecter would fit. Sometimes it would spit water out but when I used two washers instead of one (and didn't have to tighten it as much) and it quit leaking.
well done, this review really convinced me to buy the washer and the dryer. My apt will have hookups and a space to put both. Haier needs to extend your warranty , you have been a great help to many consumers
What dryer do u use? And do u have to have like empty wall space in kitchen or can I roll it to the hallway closet when I'm not using it or roll it to side of fridge?
wow, awesome price!!! I live in an apt and am really sick of washing clothes by hand if I can't get to the laundromat. Regular price for these things are like $300..
I wondered how well one of those worked (I saw one in a pawn shop not too long ago). The flat washplate in the bottom that oscillates back and forth is what makes compact washers like that possible. The old style with the agitator in the middle wouldn't work for one that small because the agitator would take up too much space. And yes, camera microphones tend to over-emphasize the mid to higher frequency noises.
Excellent! Thank you very much for this video manual, because in original paper manual is only wrong and different information about starting washing process... One more time - thank you! Merry Christmas!
Aww I wish you were my neighbour! You are so considerate, your worried about the noise level of your washing machine and I have a person above me that blasts out music from 1am for hours. Wanna swap?! Thanks for sharing
+ReviewsTechNow, I'm sure noise is an issue, however I was looking for the workings of the washer more. it's this video that convinced me of the workings of the washer. I too live in an apartment. does the mat help stabilize it?
It does help stabilize it. Regarding the noise, I have had several different neighbors below me and none of them have complained about the noise in the 2 years I've had it.
Great video. Read a comment below about the unit making noise during spin cycle. I had the same issue. Called Haier and two days later technician came out to take a look at it. He said that it also needed to be exchanged. Explained that when its laying on the side during delivery it will mess up the center of the tub making it unbalanced. Make sure when its delivered that it is standing upright just like the box says. Company exchanged the whole unit no charge within 10 days. Very happy with it. Washes surprisingly good.
I can not wait to get mine I just ordered it. I have tried the Panda Portable compact washing XPB45 10lbs and I gotta tell you it was a pain in my butt..Every 3months contacting them for a replacement so I gave up..and Ima give this brand a try.. Thank you all so much for the videos and the postings...
Got ours brand new $70.00. A dent on the side that is hidden on by the wall. Best investment everrrrr. Yes, I got the dryer too, that was full price but worth every penny.
Hey, thanks for the vid. I'm going off grid and I think this unit will do the trick in several ways. It would be on a solar system for power, it will be interesting to see how much power it uses. Nice job.
There's also a nifty hand-crank washer called the wonderwash at laundryalternative you may want to check out as well. It takes about 7 or 8 minutes to do a day's worth of laundry but isn't rough on the clothes like other hand-wash options. I have both, and would recommend this as a back up and that you get the full 3 year protection plan with the haier. If you pair it with the 82 watt x 5-minute spin-dryer found at the same website, and you you can make it even easier. As flawed as it is, if you are going to hang-dry stuff, the spin dryer cuts drying times in half.
thejubieexperience I actually have the Wanderwash as well. I bought that a few years ago so I woudn't have to use the public laundry at my old apartment. I do agree it was nice for what it was. Although I don't use it anymore since I have the Haier, I kept it in case my Haier quits. I never had the spin dryer, but it did always seem like a good idea.
Thanks for the review and video I'm thinking of getting one myself so hopefully it'll all go good ...just a small tip.. don't forget righty tighty.. lefty loosey ... :) .and thanks again
Im waiting for mine to come right now lol, you did a great job with your video i like your rubber mat idea. I am concered about the hoses but i know what to look for thanks a lot.
ok, this isn't my video, but I did buy it because of it. however, it's a lot easier then it seams, just check all portals that water can come out. and it's truly ready to just hook up. tighten everything down good. it's so good and works so nice. Enjoy it.
The rubber mat underneath it is a good idea. If I had this machine and I was going to air dry my washed items, I might consider buying a separate spin "dryer" to extract more water and speed up the drying process. The rpm on spin dryers can really get up there and garments come out almost dry, from what I've seen in TH-cam videos.
Great video i bought mine about a month ago, I'm moving into my apartment next friday, i can't wait to hook mine up. Excellent review, but please separate your whites, lights from dark, black; laundry! lol
I have mini wash from laundry alternative. It works well with the Nina Spin Soft. They have a fully automatic mini compact and as soon as I see a review on it I am upgrading to that machine.
I have very hard water too. How has it held up with the hard water? Vinegar is great at removing hard water build up. You can also use vinegar as a fabric softener and I think it works better than regular fabric softener. You also cannot smell vinegar when it’s done washing. You can even add a few drops of essential oil to it (I keep it on a old dish soap container with one drop lavender oil per oz).
+Mosbyraid2000 when I used it for the first time, I did not have the hose tight enough, and it leaked because it has to be tight to allow it to be pressurized. I have not had any issues after I tightened the hose.
hey everyone i bought this and love it used it 2 separate times, but did around 6 washes so far and loveee it.. i think safe to throw out the box now :P
Sadly. I left my unit behind on a east to west coast move. Now that I am no longer couch surfing and finally have my own place...my research states Electrolux bought out the Haeir company. Guessing Electrolux not happy with the workhouse Haeir competitor. Sure really do miss my Haeir.
thanks for your quick reply, and your great review. I forgot to ask. there's quite a few reviews on TH-cam for this machine, but not one (unless I missed it) mentions washing a pair of jeans....So, can this machine wash a pair of jeans? Mahalo!
I love my . I just got it 3 mo and it's great . The only thing is I don't know were you clean out the filler on this machine . Do you know ? I don't see any videos on this machine .
i've been using mine since June and just realized it has a lint filter so if you can post a video on how to remove thatd be good. and how to clean. thanks in advance.
Great Video! Thanks for this review! Very detailed. One question, do you choose the temperature of the water with the faucet setting or on the machine itself? Also, what temperature do you use?
Very odd questions, but...is this washing machine small enough that it could sit in a bathtub, and light enough that you'd be comfortable lifting it up and over the rim of the tub on a weekly basis? My apartment actually does have laundry hookups, but my landlord is paranoid and absolutely convinced that a washer would leak, so I'm not allowed to have one. If I can find a washer small enough to fit in the bathtub, I might be able to convince my landlord to let me have one. That way if somehow it DOES leak, the only place the water will go is down the tub drain.
it is light enough to lift, but I'm not sure about it fitting securely in a bathtub. It may fit, but if it moved around at all it wouldn't be very secure. In fact it needs to be on a flat surface or it can throw off the balance during the spin cycle.
the drain hose must be at a higher level than the washer or else it will not pump properly. If it is not higher, some of the drain water will backfill into the machine. They make that very clear in the manual. In fact, the hose is attached to the machine to avoid it being lowered and it says do not remove for that reason.
just purchased one and tried to hook it to the faucet, its not connecting (seems the faucet is too small to the connector). Someone told me to buy an adapter? I am not sure what to say when I go to homedepot or menard? please help? I need to start using it asap
You could measure your faucet and take the connector with you and just tell them you need that connector to attach to a faucet that is whatever size your faucet is
Thanks for the video. I've been considering getting one of these compact washers but I keep reading that while Haier cleans well it has problems with leaks from the bottom of the machine. How has your machine stood up over time,and have you had any such problems?
How do you clean lint my machine just threw up all this gunk onto my husbands clothes i tried letting the machine run on hot water and bleach to clean it but the dirty stuff didnt come out into the sink. Dont know where its coming from
Thank you for the review. I was looking for a small apartment portable washer and your video helped alot. Are there wheels on it or can you put wheels on it the move it around?
Hi! Thanks for the review! I have washer hook up in my place but the space is so small that I'm thinking of getting this. Does it only hook up to a sink? Thanks!
How do I drain the stored water inside it? I have been using this for 2 years now and it's heavier to move around. It sounds like there's water inside it not in the place where we put clothes in, that part gets drained. But water is in inside the machine and I don't know how to take it out. It's making moving the machine around really hard. Can anyone please help? Thank you
thank you. I have a issue here. When I wash clothes, it stops for a while between steps (spin, rinse). It seems that if I do not open and close the pad, it will not continue. do anybody else have that problem?
I am about to order mine in a few minutes, How's the washer doing so far. I live on the second floor too and you put my mine to ease about the noise...My biggest problem now is to have it delivered without the manager seeing it being delivered...LOL!
the washer works fine. I just used it this weekend. I know what you mean about hiding it from the manager. We carried mine in at night after they went home.
That is great, I order mine yesterday, they will give me a call on the delivery day, maybe I can request a time.to avoid the manager. I just sign a 15 month lease also yesterday, And nowhere in the lease says I can't have a washer. But thank you so much for your response. I also subbed to your channel.
Hi. It was just by chance that I found your video! I too have a Haier Portable Washing Machine that I bought off of walmart.com back in 2013, and it works great- until recently. My drain hose broke in two places! Have you had any leakage problems with your drain hose? I looked in the instruction manual to see how to replace it- nothing.
Hi just a quick question I am looking to buy the exact same washer but it ask what size I would like to purchase it in. There is a 2.1 cu FT and 1.0 cu FT option. What size is the one in this review
Thanks for this review! Any issues with lint? I was just on Haier website and the 1.0 cu ft does not have lint filter. The 1.5 cu ft does but I live in a studio and hesitant to go with the larger size just to have the lint filter...
Hi,first of all, thanks for your detailed video review. I'm considering purchasing this, but I'm worried about how long it will last. It's been about two years since you've reviewed this portable washer. have you had any problems with it? Is it still going strong? I've heard some accounts that these washers start going out at 2-3 years.
I have one coming it it is on its way! You say the instructions were confusing. ...can you be more specific on that? And you say after 2 years your machine is still working great?
yesman1956 the instructions were just very vague. But I figured out how to use it on my own in a few mins. It is very easy to operate. And yes it is still working great. I just used it today in fact.
Hi again. I was wondering if this is large enough to wash queen-size sheets? How about a queen-sized mattress pad? How many bath towels can you wash at a time? Thanks for all your help. :)
I have washed sheets but larger things like mattress pads may not work. When I was my comforter and large blankets I do it in a normal size washer. I can do just a few towels at a time. This washer is great for clothing, but large heavy items don't do too well.

Amanda Lyn you definitely won't regret buying it. Mine is a lifesaver. I was considering the drier, but I don't have much room.
Thank you for the review trouble shooting potential problems and how quiet it is esp for your neighbors
Thank you for the review, went through a few and yours is my favorite!!
Thanks!
Great view! Very helpful! Thanks

Dark clothes in one load & white & light colors in another load.
What dryer do u use? And do u have to have like empty wall space in kitchen or can I roll it to the hallway closet when I'm not using it or roll it to side of fridge?
Good review. Just got one from Craigslist for $80. Now I need a mat.
champagne5552000 thats a great price. The mat does a good job for the sound.
wow, awesome price!!! I live in an apt and am really sick of washing clothes by hand if I can't get to the laundromat. Regular price for these things are like $300..
Best thing I ever purchased..
Thanx for making the video! Very helpful information

Very informative. Exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you very much for posting your video.
no problem
I loved my little Haier!! When I moved, I didn't need it anymore. So sad to see it go. It was great.
Hi, good video. You don't need to worry about hard water scale. Just wipe or soak with vinegar. It will dissolve and leave no mess behind.
Awesome Machine
I feel for ya man. I couldn't imagine not having a washer and dryer in my house.
Thanks you did a very good job explaining the washer & how to use it, Wamart has it cheaper than Amazon.
D Davenport your welcome, I am glad to help
do I need to press for rinse or it Will automatically rinse it
yemi ola it will automatically go to the rinse cycle after washing
The quick pulsing at the end of the wash is to try and balance the load for spinning. Mine does the same thing.
Thank you for sharing great infor

Thank you all so much for the videos and the postings...
Yina A. Santos You will love it! Mine is still working perfectly and has never had any service issues so far.
P.S. you Rock for thinking if your neighbor below. I got a rubber mat too. Great Tip.
+Nina Olmita Lopez thanks, there's nothing worse than a loud annoying neighbor
Got ours brand new $70.00. A dent on the side that is hidden on by the wall. Best investment everrrrr. Yes, I got the dryer too, that was full price but worth every penny.
Hey, thanks for the vid. I'm going off grid and I think this unit will do the trick in several ways. It would be on a solar system for power, it will be interesting to see how much power it uses. Nice job.

Thanks and you're welcome
Im waiting for mine to come right now lol, you did a great job with your video i like your rubber mat idea. I am concered about the hoses but i know what to look for thanks a lot.
I hope you enjoy it! My hose has been fine. They suggest replacing it every 5 years.
MSRAVEN How do you like the portable washer, I am ordering mine in a few minutes.
oh i like it it does just for what i got it for. my hoses are fine some people tend to overload it,i don't so mine is working fine.
That is great, I will have mine by June 16th, Mine will be for the under wears t shirts and face towels.Thank you so much, I can hardly wait!
Hey MsRaven I got my washer today, about to wash my first wash! Yeah!
ok, this isn't my video, but I did buy it because of it. however, it's a lot easier then it seams, just check all portals that water can come out. and it's truly ready to just hook up. tighten everything down good. it's so good and works so nice. Enjoy it.
is it still good?

The rpm on spin dryers can really get up there and garments come out almost dry, from what I've seen in TH-cam videos.
+Vince P that's true, they can be very helpful
Nice and simple. No need to be transferring clothes 👍 It looks like half a cup of the laundry soap would be the amount for the wash cycle.
i have 1 i love it
Ingrid Orejuela mine is still running strong and it was one of the best purchases I ever made!
Great video i bought mine about a month ago, I'm moving into my apartment next friday, i can't wait to hook mine up. Excellent review, but please separate your whites, lights from dark, black; laundry! lol
Thank you. And I normally do seperate my clothes, just not socks and towels lol
Can I skip the wash and go straight to rinse?
great video
Thank you
+ReviewsTechNow can you wash jeans and towels pretty good? what do use to dry them?
You can only do a couple pairs of jeans at time since they get heavy when wet. You can do several towels. I hang dry my clothes.
I have mini wash from laundry alternative. It works well with the Nina Spin Soft. They have a fully automatic mini compact and as soon as I see a review on it I am upgrading
to that machine.
Marcia T I saw that as well. It seems to be about the same as the Haier with the disc agitation and spin cycle. Also the capacities are the same.
I really want to see a review on that actual machine by laundry alternative. The compact automatic 5.5 thanks for the review though :-)
I have very hard water too. How has it held up with the hard water? Vinegar is great at removing hard water build up. You can also use vinegar as a fabric softener and I think it works better than regular fabric softener. You also cannot smell vinegar when it’s done washing. You can even add a few drops of essential oil to it (I keep it on a old dish soap container with one drop lavender oil per oz).
The hard water never ended up being a problem while I owned it.
Nice
+Mosbyraid2000 when I used it for the first time, I did not have the hose tight enough, and it leaked because it has to be tight to allow it to be pressurized. I have not had any issues after I tightened the hose.
hey everyone i bought this and love it used it 2 separate times, but did around 6 washes so far and loveee it.. i think safe to throw out the box now :P
How do you know when to shut the water off
Sadly. I left my unit behind on a east to west coast move. Now that I am no longer couch surfing and finally have my own place...my research states Electrolux bought out the Haeir company. Guessing Electrolux not happy with the workhouse Haeir competitor. Sure really do miss my Haeir.
thanks for your quick reply, and your great review. I forgot to ask. there's quite a few reviews on TH-cam for this machine, but not one (unless I missed it) mentions washing a pair of jeans....So, can this machine wash a pair of jeans?
Mahalo!
Michael Lauck you can wash jeans, but not more than a couple at once because jeans get so heavy when wet.
I want to get one and dry over the bathtub with a fan. You don't have a post about the dryer and was wondering if you do the same.
+Toni Bartling I never had the dryer. I would just hang dry my clothes
Great demonstration! A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will clean that sink. Then use Windex daily to make the sink shine.
Jennifer Deschepper thanks for the tip! I will try that.
ReviewsTechNow if that doesn't work, something with acid like vinegar or lemon juice might help.
I love my . I just got it 3 mo and it's great . The only thing is I don't know were you clean out the filler on this machine . Do you know ? I don't see any videos on this machine .
kathy ogden there is no filter.
i've been using mine since June and just realized it has a lint filter so if you can post a video on how to remove thatd be good. and how to clean. thanks in advance.
I'm not aware of there being a lint filter. There is a filter for the incoming water you can clean with a toothbrush.
thanks
👍
Great Video! Thanks for this review! Very detailed. One question, do you choose the temperature of the water with the faucet setting or on the machine itself? Also, what temperature do you use?
Thank you! You have to just adjust the temperature at the faucet. Typically I just use cold water and everything comes out clean.
Hi, nice review! But I have a question, where did you get the adapter shown in 3:00 in the video? Could you tell me the type of it? Thanks a lot.
That is included. You shouldn't have to buy any additional parts to make it work.
the attachment to the tap faucet come with it?
Yes

You could measure your faucet and take the connector with you and just tell them you need that connector to attach to a faucet that is whatever size your faucet is
Thanks for the video. I've been considering getting one of these compact washers but I keep reading that while Haier cleans well it has problems with leaks from the bottom of the machine. How has your machine stood up over time,and have you had any such problems?
if it leaks there is a fastener not tight or no rubber washer in the attachment.
Did it ever work again? Planning on buying a used on tomorrow...
How do you clean lint my machine just threw up all this gunk onto my husbands clothes i tried letting the machine run on hot water and bleach to clean it but the dirty stuff didnt come out into the sink. Dont know where its coming from
I'm not sure. I've never had that problem.
Thank you for the review. I was looking for a small apartment portable washer and your video helped alot. Are there wheels on it or can you put wheels on it the move it around?
It includes wheels you can put on. Or you can put stationary feet on it if you won't be moving it. I put the wheels on.
If you use hot water to wash do you need to switch the faucet to cold water for the rinse?
yes
i have been looking at this washer for a month now great video how is the machine washing levis? thanks
since wet jeans are so heavy I wouldn't put any more than 2-3 pairs at once
Hi! Thanks for the review! I have washer hook up in my place but the space is so small that I'm thinking of getting this. Does it only hook up to a sink? Thanks!
the hookup is for a sink but you can probably get an attachment at the hardware store or something.
Thanks!
I would like to know does the water needs to stay on when you use the machine or can i just shut it off?
You can leave the faucet on, the washer starts and stops the flow. You can turn it off after it fills back up for the rinse.
Does your washing machine make a loud thumping noise when it spins?
if the clothes are not centered it will not spin evenly. Mine spins fine as long as they are centered.
Hi, I could you please tell me if you still have the washer and is it still giving the same results as when you first useded it?
I do not own it anymore but it is still working
How do I drain the stored water inside it? I have been using this for 2 years now and it's heavier to move around. It sounds like there's water inside it not in the place where we put clothes in, that part gets drained. But water is in inside the machine and I don't know how to take it out. It's making moving the machine around really hard. Can anyone please help? Thank you
Are you going to the live the water on for the whole washing?
+yemi ola you do leave the faucet on and the washer lets it in when its time
can you wash sheets, and blanket (separately) does a blanket fit?
I've done sheets but haven't tried blankets. I think they would be too heavy.
Where did u buy the rubber mate?
at Menard's
thank you. I have a issue here. When I wash clothes, it stops for a while between steps (spin, rinse). It seems that if I do not open and close the pad, it will not continue. do anybody else have that problem?
Hi. Can you please tell should I keep the water coming until the load is done completely and if yes doesn’t it cause leaking? Thank you in advance
Sughra Haidari yes you leave the water on. If it leaks you need to tighten the connection.
I am about to order mine in a few minutes, How's the washer doing so far. I live on the second floor too and you put my mine to ease about the noise...My biggest problem now is to have it delivered without the manager seeing it being delivered...LOL!
the washer works fine. I just used it this weekend. I know what you mean about hiding it from the manager. We carried mine in at night after they went home.
That is great, I order mine yesterday, they will give me a call on the delivery day, maybe I can request a time.to avoid the manager. I just sign a 15 month lease also yesterday, And nowhere in the lease says I can't have a washer. But thank you so much for your response. I also subbed to your channel.
Omg! I got my washer about an hour ago. I order it on the 20th, that was really fast I am about to wash my first load.
how did you avoid your landlord? having same issue here

Hi. It was just by chance that I found your video! I too have a Haier Portable Washing Machine that I bought off of walmart.com back in 2013, and it works great- until recently. My drain hose broke in two places! Have you had any leakage problems with your drain hose? I looked in the instruction manual to see how to replace it- nothing.
Luckily I have not had any problems
wow u did a great job! thanks a lot! now I can find my one! 😊👍 one queation for u- do u have idea that how much power bill might come for using this?
My bill didn't change enough for me to notice
Did you notice a difference in the water bill?
Hi just a quick question I am looking to buy the exact same washer but it ask what size I would like to purchase it in. There is a 2.1 cu FT and 1.0 cu FT option. What size is the one in this review
+kanishiajayden 1.0
Thanks so much
it wld be nice if we are told where this wm is available. so that it cld be easy for us yo locate the location of the availanility
considering this video is almost 6 yrs old you can probably only find it used
do you know how to clean the lint filter other than that I think you are right it is a great product
I'm not sure. I don't even really know that it has one. Lint has never been a problem so far.
thanks
Hi , Use baking soda that helps with hard water believe it or not!An borax is good tp mix with it or npt your choice
Thanks for this review! Any issues with lint? I was just on Haier website and the 1.0 cu ft does not have lint filter. The 1.5 cu ft does but I live in a studio and hesitant to go with the larger size just to have the lint filter...
Personally it has never been a big issue with mine.
ReviewsTechNow Thanks as I would rather go with the smaller of the two. Thanks for fielding questions even after almost 2 years of your post!
You're welcome! I'm glad my video has been such a big help to so many people.
Do you know the diameter of the adapter? I'm not sure it will fit my sink.
I'm sorry but I don't know. I don't own it anymore
Hi,first of all, thanks for your detailed video review. I'm considering purchasing this, but I'm worried about how long it will last. It's been about two years since you've reviewed this portable washer. have you had any problems with it? Is it still going strong? I've heard some accounts that these washers start going out at 2-3 years.
Mine works fine.
I have one coming it it is on its way! You say the instructions were confusing. ...can you be more specific on that? And you say after 2 years your machine is still working great?
yesman1956 the instructions were just very vague. But I figured out how to use it on my own in a few mins. It is very easy to operate. And yes it is still working great. I just used it today in fact.
ReviewsTechNow thank you kindly
How much is this washer?
I just bought one used, is it supposed to take few minute breaks then start again over and over?
It does pause sometimes between starting and stopping
does this machine still work to this day? Any problems?
yes it still works great. No issues.
What about hot or warm water?? I heard these manufacturers say cold water only?? How do u wash ur whites with hot water with that???
The instruction manual says you can use hot water up to 122 F.
can you connect it to the out side hose
+Elizabeth Gutierrez probably but I don't think it is meant to be operated outdoors
Hi again. I was wondering if this is large enough to wash queen-size sheets? How about a queen-sized mattress pad? How many bath towels can you wash at a time?
Thanks for all your help. :)
I have washed sheets but larger things like mattress pads may not work. When I was my comforter and large blankets I do it in a normal size washer. I can do just a few towels at a time. This washer is great for clothing, but large heavy items don't do too well.
ReviewsTechNow Great, thanks for much for getting back to me so quickly, appreciate all the info. :)
Can you wash a full size blanket in it?
You can but that would be all you could do in a single wash.
How long did you own it for? Want to know how long the unit will last. Thanks!
Rocco Salerno I had it for over 2 years. But the person I gave it to still uses it.
Do you keep the water running the whole time?
You keep the faucet on but the machine controls the flow of water
Can you post a video on how to remove the lint filter? i have one but havent figured it out yet
+Jenny Hudson its not a dryer...
I know it has a lint thing though look at the manual its inside on the side of it
I have exact same as you
+Jenny Hudson the washer does not have a lint filter
