Love my HAIER HLP23E

Date:March 29, 2011
Best Uses: Bedding / Sheets, Clothes, Delicates, Efficiency / Studio Living
Let me first say that this machine actually holds over 8 lbs. of wash, not 5 lbs. as stated.
Have been using this machine 3 times a week, doing at least 5 loads a week, for the past 8 months, and could not be more satisfied. My clothes come out extremely clean, there is almost no sound from the machine when it is running, and the 3 water level choices are very convenient. I wish it would have come with swivel wheels, but I purchased a square dolly with swivel wheels for easy movement which solved that problem.
I set a timer to go off 14 minutes before the end of the total cycle so that I can add fabric softener to the last rinse.
I originally had the Haier HLP21E which was the 1 cubic foot-6 lb. capacity model, and upgraded to this larger model. Haier products go far and beyond expectations and I am a diehard Haier fan.
Thank you Haier for making laundry day a pleasent experience!!

Mini washer - How did I ever get by without it?!

Date:July 27, 2010
Best Uses: Bedding / Sheets, Clothes, Delicates, Efficiency / Studio Living, Living Space Without Washer / Dryer Connections
As an apartment dweller, with no space for a regular sized clothes washer, I had endured the stress of constantly accumulating and hauling my laundry to the local laundromat. I did not like the endless 'go-no go' decisions -- running out of clean clothes?/enough to make the trip worthwhile?, the general chaos of finding unused machines, the variable mood of the staff and other washers. So I often opted for the expense of having my laundry done, but then I was bothered by missing items. I also always questioned whether my clothes were fully cleaned in the laundromat's short cycles and low volume of rinse water.
Haier's mini automatic washer solved all of my laundry problems. It fits between my sink and tub -- in less than 20" of space! The pulsating action gets my clothes very clean, and the spinner effectively removes most of the water. I wash several pairs of jeans, or six-eight polos but -- it is a mini: I wash my queen/regular sheets one-at-a-time with a towel, and wash bath sheets one-at-a-time also. I do not consider this a drawback of the washer: it's half the size of a regular washer -- so it only has half of its capacity! A few buyers express considerable shock that the load is not fullsized! Their upset is baffling, to say the least! Doing twice as many loads is a small price to pay for the incredible convenience of doing my laundry at home.
The washer has a quick-snap connector that fits to the sink faucet, and it works quite well -- but you can purchase a bypass connector at a well-stocked hardware store that will allow you to use the sink while the washer is running. An under-sink connector is another option, but requires some plumbing. Haier also makes a mini-dryer that uses a 120V house electrical supply, which I bought and highly recommend - but be aware that the dryer requires venting.
The washer runs quietly -- but sometimes does a noisy rock-and-roll to rebalance the load. It may give up and require a rescue: just open the top and redistribute the wet clothes. Other times it rebalances itself and hums back into its cycle. The Haier mini-dryer is also relatively quiet -- and very effective.
Many of us develop a real affection for our Haier mini washer. I have had guests beg me to demonstrate how it works -- and crowd into the bathroom to watch!
