Amazing washing machine!
This is bar none the best washer! Everything is included to simply hook it to almost any kitchen type tap, You don't need to run to the hardware store for an adapter (there is a washer to remove if it the inside thread). Ok from some of the reviews I see people can't read an owners manual, or are talking about an older modle. Read the Owners Manual then assemble the bottom plate, put in the almost idiot proof lint filter (it says Top,on the top and bottom on the bottom which is soooo easy to clean,and you must clean it every time.) level the machine adjusting the feet (you will need a level, I got a magnetic plastic one for 99 cents from the hardward store), and your ready to wash clothes. It's QUIET!!! very Quiet. You should use the HE laundry soap. It will nicely and quietly wash a set of full sized cotton sheets, including the two pillow cases, I have washed two pairs of heavy Jeans in it. I do a wash every other day. The controlls are so easy, and check this out you loose power and machine remember were it was in the cycle you just press the start button it takes off where it left off. It dings when it's done but does so quietly,if you leave the top up after putting in the clothes and soap it dings at the start of the wash cycle, to remind you to put the cover down. I can't even think of any thing negative to comment on. OH and the stainless steel basket is a HUGE plus if you live with hard water. One of the BEST features is whe the clothes come out of the machine they are dryer then any full sized I have used! This is a wonderful product, some of the negative responces are from people that either try to overload it or put in too much soap. I have used regular soap, but using less than a 1/4 cap full. With the price of gas and the cost to go to the laundrymat, This machine will save you a lot of money in a short time. It's Quiet!, does a great job of washing clothes! If you fear your landlord might not like you using this, you take the box it comes in spraypaint it white make a nice cover to hide it under. Save the packing material and when you move it's covert moving into your next apartment..lol

great little machine!
this little washer is excellent!
i checked reviews on several machines before buying this one. wanted the washer/dryer combo from thor, but there seem to be numerous mechanical problems. especially surprising considering the price. also looked at the little "wonder washer" mini portable washer and rejected it for the same reason. it's apparently cheaply made, doesn't work well and got more bad reviews than good.
the haier reviews made me a little nervous, too, until i noticed that all the bad ones said the same thing. it leaks if connections are not tight enough, it makes a horrible sound if the plate is put on upside down, and it mustn't be over-loaded or have too much detergent put in. all of this amounted to consumer error. i really needed the washer and decided to take a chance. it's one of the best decisions i ever made. the only problem i had was with installing the plate. as everyone has mentioned, the holes don't match and the screws are too large. i remedied this by very gently enlarging the holes on the bottom of the machine with an ice pick, being careful not to damage any working parts. got the machine running soon and i've been using it several times a week since it arrived two months ago.
one other thing. in reference to the metal plate being improperly installed, there were comments about instructions not being clear. something may have changed since those reviews were written because the instruction book i have is quite explicit, and the plate is clearly marked. the directions are actually pressed into the metal. there is no way i would have put it on wrong. either people were ignoring this or (more likely, i think)haier took note of the problem and did something about it.
anyway, if you're in need of a washer and short on space, do get one of these. it's well worth the money.
my sincere thanks to everone who wrote reviews, good and bad. you were all instrumental in helping me make this choice.

Haier HLP21E portable washing machine
I live in a New York City apartment. Although there is a laundry room in our building there is nothing like having your own washer to do laundry at your own convenience. No waiting for the machine, no correct change/dollars, no wondering what was washed in the machine before your wash...in otherwords a real must have item.
This adapts to the kitchen sink faucet so easily. The drain hose never overflows the sink's capacity.
You can't wash many heavy items all at once. You do have to plan how you'll do laundry. I manage to get all my underwear, socks, t-shirts, night shirts (light items) all in one load. My bed sheets and pillow cases in another. Jeans, well, you have to be careful. I would recommend no more than four pairs at once, of course, I'm petite so a larger/taller person I would recommend no more than 2 pairs at once. Then the bath towels and I'm done!
I couldn't live without this machine now that I have it. It is a huge value for the money. Also, Haier is so easy to deal with regarding any service problems or questions.
I would recommend this machine, or a larger one if you have more space, to anyone living in a large city apartment building.

Why NOT? 2nd time buyer and ECSTATIC!
I had the smaller version for 2 1/2 years and after much abuse it finally stopped spinning (... and I mean ABUSE)! It stopped spinning after I shoved a comforter into it (yes - I should have known better). And that one I bought for $145 delivered. (UPDATE: all the old one needed was a new belt! So my best friend will be getting a few years of service out of it as well!).
This time around I decided to get the larger model and how happy am I? I had it in my house and doing wash 1 1/2 days after ordering (and that was with normal shipping).
I don't have (and did not with the other one) any of the issues others have seen with leaking etc. First of all, I read directions.... There is some small assembly. Pay attention and make sure everything is tight and you wont have issues.
DO NOT USE NORMAL DETERGENT..... BUY HE only and you'll be fine.
As with my previous one, I am happy as a clam. Cannot to this day, 2 1/2 years after buying my one, understand why I put up with laundry mats for so long.
If I hadn't overstuffed the old one (time after time after time), I am sure it would still be working today..... And I dont mind, I was spending $100 a month at the laundry mat, so it paid for itself in six weeks.
This one I got for $245 delivered, so it will pay for itself in 10 weeks. I can live with that.
Go for it. You really have nothing to lose and if you are spending 80-100 bucks a month at the laundry mat, you would still make out even if the thing broke after 2-3 months.
Makes sense to me.
OH - A QUICK TIP FOR THE DRAIN HOSE - I tie it to the water intake hose... therefore it is always in the sink and I never have to worry about it coming loose... I tie them together about 5-7 inches from the end. Then the end of the water intake hose goes to the faucet, and by default the end of the drain hose sits in the sink tied to it
For other great info - clcik SEE ALL REVIEWs from me (there's only one) and its for the other model, on there I have picutres and part numbers for connecting to a bathroom sink (and it all applies to this model as well).... as a matter of fact, the wheels I bought for the first one, fits this one without any adjustments at all.
Rating: - EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE!!!
I've had my washer for almost a year now and it's been working great. I've had no problems with it at all.
I rent an apt and my landlords have no idea that I have this washer ( I bought it while they were away on vacation). I live upstairs and they live downstairs.
I don't want to ask them for fear they'll say no.
It makes a litle humming noise. That's it!! You can't even hear it in the next room. It's really a quiet little machine.
When I'm done using it, I slip the box that it came in, over the machine and then I place a long black cloth over it with a small doiley on top of it and then I place pictures on there so it looks like a table. (Gotta do that when the landlords need to do something in my apt- which is not very often thank goodness.)
I love this machine. It washes everythng so clean.
I can't tell you how much money I saved by not going to the laundromat. Athough I still have to go to wash my quilts but that doesn't cost all that much.
I never had any water spills... I always keep my eye on the machine. Last thing I need is for my landlords to find out. Oh dear.....
It's an EXCELLENT machine to have. :):)
