My little washer arrived in perfect condition, brand new and ready to use. I placed it on a dolly with 360-degree rotating wheels for easy mobility, though it’s so lightweight I can lift it effortlessly. The attachment connected seamlessly to my bathroom sink, and the drain hose fit perfectly into the tub. I was impressed with how well it cleaned my clothes—after five loads (equivalent to about two regular washing machine loads), everything came out fresh and spotless. And the quiet spin-no shaking spin cycle! Um yes!!!! Moving forward, I plan to do smaller weekly loads, which is so much more convenient than hauling laundry to the laundromat. Absolutely worth it!

UPDATE: This is a fantastic washing machine. Mine is still running strong and does a great job. Don't worry about the quality of this machine. This size can wash my queen size sheets easily. It handles my throw rugs, too. My only complaint is that when measuring to check clearances in my rv's closet, I didn't leave room for the hoses so it's too tight a fit for me to use the whole closet because I can't slide the inside door open. Drat. I wanted a machine that could accommodate sheets and pillowcases for a queen sized bed. This is larger than what is required. It will easily wash 3 pair of jeans, 3 pair of denim shorts and 3 shirts. Maybe more. I'm surprised that it can also manage my poofy mattress pad. This is an impressive washing machine. It is very quiet and stable. There is very little rattling when it enters the rinse mode and when spinning at full speed. It's a snap to install, but it is heavy. My clothes come out no different than they did in the larger machines. The "quick" setting on a medium size load takes just 22 minutes! A full load on "normal" takes 37 minutes. The longest setting takes 57 minutes. The bottom of the tub is a plastic shield and the sides are stainless. There is a small, easily accessible filter on the side of the tub that needs to be emptied every 2 or 3 loads. The tiny wheels on the back might be inadequate considering it is supposed to be portable. If you are going to move it around your place, save your back, get a wheeled stand. There is no way I could manage this thing without help. It weighs 80 pounds. I'm glad I chose this machine knowing that it is distributed by an American company that offers some service if there are issues. There are a number of other off brands that cost as much as 30% less, but after reading the negative reviews, I discovered if there are any issues with damage during shipping, or with the machine, the cost of having to return a hunk of junk makes this look like a bargain. If there are any issues with durability, I will update. But today, this machine is nicer than I anticipated and I'm confident it will save me more in laundry expenses than I was spending at the Laundromat by multiples. It is much nicer than what I anticipated. That doesn't happen often. Warning: When measuring your space, be sure to include about 3-4 inches to accommodate the hose connections on the back. Also, make certain the drain hose is fixed above the height of the machine.

So I specifically bought this to bucket fill… I live off grid and don’t have any water source to directly hook it to. I have also had the Japanese style ones where there’s a wash cycle on one side and a spin on the other and they’re AWFUL. This is much much better. I had seen a couple reviews stating that they bucket fill this one, but not much info about water usage doing that or how it works, so here’s what I’ve learned so far (please note, this is for the largest model offered): The system seems to be weight based. Given that it’s hooked up to nothing I can hear the intake pump running at the beginning of a cycle. This will continue until the unit has enough water in it, but how does it know? I played around a lot and decided it’s gotta be weight based, which correlates with the size of load you’re running. So, I put my wash settings on “normal”, change the load size to small, add about 8 gallons of water + the drum 3/4 filled with clothes will get it to start. You’ll see the time for the wash drop from 37 minutes to 34 as soon as it’s got enough water. The cycle size you choose will affect how much water it wants, so I always choose “small” for size and this cuts down on how much water I use. The same thing happens on the rinse cycle. It drains the water from the wash cycle and wants another 8 gallons to do the rinse cycle. At this point it really depends what I’m washing if I choose to do this or not. I have a geriatric dog that makes a whole lot of laundry throughout the week, and for those items I don’t really worry about the rinse cycle. I’ll let the system run through the beginning of the rinse cycle where it is draining most of the wash water off, pause the program, turn the washer off and back on, and then put it on the “spin only” cycle. This cycle is automatically 27 minutes but I usually run it for about 10 and then stop it again. I use those little $3 Walmart micro fleece blankets for him and after 10 minutes in spin only they come out almost completely dry and smelling super fresh. I’ll hang them on a rack in front of a box fan and they’re bone dry within an hour. I also have a regular household pillow for him as a dog bed and that will spin out and dry super fast (2-3 hours) with the same method. This machine will hold two of the fleece blankets and the pillow at the same time, and get everything very clean on the normal cycle, small size. For my clothes I do want a rinse cycle so when the washer changes from wash to rinse I’ll let it drain the wash water, add another 8 gallons, and let the rinse cycle run. The main thing I listen for is if the inlet pump is trying to run. If it is, add more water. You’ll have to pause the system every time you’re adding more water or you’ll get an “E3” error, which just means the lid is open. So, all in all, it is kind of hands on if you’re a bucket filler. It uses between 8-16 gallons of water on small cycle depending on if you want to do a rinse cycle. Based on other reviews I was cautious to have the drain inlet at the proper height. I drain it to my bathroom sink and it works great. If it’s too low it won’t hold water, too high and the pump isn’t strong enough to drain. The drain hose has a nice moveable gooseneck on it and the power of the pump has yet to be so strong it kicks the gooseneck out of the sink, which has been my biggest fear. Despite the hands on nature of it, I really love it. It took me about a week of use, using it 2-3x a day to where I felt really comfortable not just standing over it staring and learning the sounds it’s making to know when it needs my attention. Living in a small space I can just attend to it while I’m doing other chores and it doesn’t feel like a pain. This may depend on how much you hate the laundromat or how much access you have to one. There’s only one laundromat nearby but this woman runs a wash and fold out of it and will tie up all the machines until about 3 pm, and then the rest of the community has a mad dash to try to get their stuff in so it feels like sometimes there’s a laundromat nearby, but it’s a huge source of stress to try to time my day around it’s availability. Other pros: it is really really quiet. I’ll run it at night while my s/o is sleeping and it doesn’t bother them at all. Whether you use the rinse cycle or not everything comes out smelling incredibly fresh. If you want to soak anything, just put it all in with water, soak as long as you want, then run the cycle as you see fit. Will definitely be keeping.

The machine can hold a significant amount of laundry for its size (15 pounds) - which is why I purchased this. It is notably good quality and smart looking so it does not look out of place outside of a closet, in the open, as pictured. That’s hard to find as most top loaders could not pull off a “nice looking” aesthetic. Spin cycle is great and leaves clothes very dry. It came with all necessary attachments to have this up and running in 5 minutes from opening the box. Well packaged and not a scratch on it when delivered (rurally, even). Really impressed with this machine so far! Would certainly recommend. If it holds up to time and usage I would recommend this machine based on specs as it currently outperforms anything in its size/weight capacity and I did a lot of research prior to purchase. Will update review if I note any unreasonable failures.

Love this machine. Works well with little noise,, takes up little space, and can be installed two ways. You can use it as a portable and attach it to your sink or you can use it as a permanent machine by attaching the hot and cold water hoses into your laundry hook up. Definitely worth the price. Which also was great!!!!

Purchased this compact washer for next summer when we set up our new RV. I am truly amazed by this small washer. It is currently set up in my laundry room at home. I use my home washer for larger loads and have used the Black and Decker compact for smaller loads to test it out. I am thrilled with it. Best decision to purchase it. I can pick it up easily although I decided to purchase a dolly for it. It is easy to move, easy to use, quiet and efficient. I will continue to use it over the winter for smaller loads. Word of advice to anyone buying….remember to not overload and use the right quantity of HE laundry soap. It is a wonderful machine so read the manufacturer’s instructions and don’t treat it like a full size machine. I love mine.

Haré una reseña con funcionamiento o usos. Apenas la tengo por 3 días y ya la usé 7 veces. Eso sí, tardó casi un mes en enviarse (Amazon Internacional Standard) desde la fecha de compra. Aproximadamente 20 días. El envío sólo fue de 2 días. Las medidas de profundidad contando la manguera de desagüe es de 48cm, la medida de ancho con espacios laterales recomendados es de 45cm y la altura es de 78cm. Es decir, una ves que la abres y sacas de la caja, es muy bonita y da ternura por lo compacta. Pero esa es su ventaja. Las cargas habituales que realice fueron de : 15 boxers talla M, o 5 a 7 playeras talla M o G, o 2 pantalones de mezclilla talla 32. No la llenes a más de 3/4 de ropa seca. Detergente se recomienda usar los que tienen el logo "he" high efficiency (alta eficiencia). En mi caso recomiendo el detergente mexicano "Newen" de venta también en Amazon. Ya que es biodegradable y concentrado (alcanza a lavar bien con una a tres cucharadas 10 a 30ml) en lugar de los detergentes comerciales que usas tapas de más de 100ml. Aún así en las instrucciones se recomienda usar la mitad de lo que dicen los envases. En cuanto a ruido, es muy silenciosa incluso durante el centrifugado. Respecto a las conexiones, los aditamentos con los que viene, fueron suficientes para conectarla a la llave del lavabo. Viene con dos gomitas dentro de la conexión rápida. Dependiendo si es para rosca interna o externa se pone o se quita el empaque superior. La manguera del desagüe, TIENE QUE ESTAR POR ENCIMA DEL NIVEL DE AGUA DE LA LAVADORA, es decir, si la dejas en el suelo, jamás se va a llenar. Tiene varios modos de lavado. Únicamente el modo Pesado (Heavy), Gentil (Gentle) y Remojar (Soak) te dejan modificar todos los parámetros de lavado. El modo Normal y Rápido sólo permite cambiar nivel de agua y número de enjuagues. El lavado (Wash) se puede seleccionar hasta 20min, se pueden seleccionar hasta tres enjuagues (Rinse) y hasta 9min de centrifugado (Spin). Cualquiera de estos tres parámetros se pueden omitir al dejarlos en 0. El modo rápido tarda 15min y el modo más tardado 88/90min. El atrapa pelusa en verdad funciona. No tengo ninguna queja al respecto. Si acaso el tiempo de envío y el costo que se paga por importación (va incluído en el precio). Si esta lavadora se vendiera en México costaría $1,200 pesos menos es decir entre $5,500 a $6,100 pesos. Que bien lo valen. En verdad recomiendo la lavadora. Como extra les recomiendo comprar un codo a 90° para la manguera de llenado y quede más cómoda la conexión en la lavadora. Haré actualización al mes o 3 meses, a ver qué tal va. Ha pasado un mes, y todo funciona perfectamente, igual que el primer día. El modo de lavado "Pesado" es mi favorito, el cual personalizo en cada lavada. Recomiendo usar jabón Persil.

Es una lavadora muy útil para espacios pequeños o donde no hay suficiente agua yo la utilizo una vez a la semana y ya tengo 2 años con ella, obviamente hay que tratarla con cuidado.
