This washer is so convenient, perfectly sized, washes my clothes beautifully-but it's not built to last. First off I had to buy an extra rubber washer to put in the hose because of a massive leak. It's fine for now, though I hear a clicking sound during spin which I'm praying is nothing. We had taken the back plate off for a look inside, and this is very hastily put together and rather primitive (clumps of wires literally taped together). I don't understand why the company wouldn't put a bit more effort into this because when working it is wonderful.
Also-use common sense and don't put to much in there at once, don't try to wash blankets and towels, and make sure to use high efficiency detergent. I will probably try a Danby or Avanti when this one goes, I just hope I can get at least a year and a half out of it.
Based on all the reviews listed here - and the price - I chose the Haier HLP21E. Thanks for all the info on the bottom plate and the screws. I only had to purchase s stronger screwdriver to force the screws through the metal. The machine is so quiet I had to keep checking to be sure it was running. The faucet adapter works with the bathroom sink and the hose runs into the bathtub, draped over the bath rail. A great purchase.
LINT FILTER - Does anyone know how to remove it? Thanks!
I can't review the Haier HLP23E Portable Top-Load Washer, yet, on its page.
But, so you know, if you came here (like I did for weeks) to try to find out something ..
I've had mine 48 hours so far (a dozen loads of laundry) and I love it! I read all of these reviews before I ordered it; so far, no surprises. Of course it's different, but appears to be equally great. Thank you to everyone who reviewed the Haier HLP21E here!!
The only bad thing I have to say about this washer is that I wish I had bought the next size up. You can only fit 2 pairs of adult-size jeans -OR- 2 large, heavy bath-towels and have the machine operate optimally. I tried 3 pairs of jeans as a test, and the washing action was too impeded to clean them effectively. However, for socks, undergarments, light blouses, light towels, etc, it's FANTASTIC. It gets them cleaner than the agitator washers I'm used to using, especially if you use the "Heavy" wash cycle. Another plus is that it's gentle enough to wash some of my "hand-wash only" clothing.
I am extremely happy that I purchased it. I live in a mobile home, and it fit easily through my doorways, hooked up flawlessly, and doesn't thrash or bounce around as it washes (which was a big concern given my uneven floors and the small size.) For the most part, it handles my weekly needs, though I will still need to use the laundromat for large loads. (Blankets, for example.) For me, that's only every other month or so.
It came with nearly everything needed to connect it. However, if you are hooking it up to traditional laundry-room outlets, where hot-water and cold-water are seperate lines, you will need to buy a "Y" adapter. I found one easy enough at a local hardware store. This allowed me to hook the washer up permanently, although I need to manually open the lines to get the desired water temperature. I experimented a bit with the faucets and marked the handles so I know how far to turn them to get "cold", "warm" or "hot". Also, since I don't expect to disconnect the lines anytime soon, I bought plumbing tape to use around the threads to help seal the connection.
As for the "assembly," some people have posted that they put the convex end of the plate toward the floor (bulging side closest to the floor.) I used to write technical manuals, and the directions on the plate seem to suggest that it be installed with the concave side facing the floor, though the wording is slightly ambiguous. However, I installed it concave side facing the floor, and it works just fine. I am unsure as to why they don't ship it with the plate already installed, it would prevent confusion.
I just bought this machine from Walmart as it is recommended in a popular Chinese online forum, mitbbs.com for Chinese students overseas. After installed and tested it today, I must say I am not very satisfied and here are my comments:
1, manual is in English, French, and Spanish. It should have
Chinese! Most Japanese products have manuals in Japanese, and sometimes also in Chinese. Are we ashamed of our language? There are many potential Chinese customer here!
2, the bottom plate is difficult to install. In my case, it is due to improper positioning of the angle pieces holding the plastic feet or wheels. Had to
bend the the plate, and only able to screw in 5 screws instead of 6.
3, typos in the manual, e.g, page 12, a lot extra "f"s, "in its final position" becomes "fin fits ffinal locatfion". Be professional!
4, should specify the size/thread of the quick sink adapter with the washer. The sink faucet in my old rented apartment is 13/16-24 male. The sink adapter with the washer doesn't fit. Couldn't find the right adapter in Homedepot (they
only have adapter of this size/thread for female sprouts). Checked online and found:
http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com/ace-female-adapter-1316-24-thread-p-33649.html?ref=42
went to a local ace hardware store and finally bought the right sink fitting:
#40098, dishwasher snap adapter set, 4, 13/16"x24 THD. $5.00.
5, should specify quantitatively the noise level in dbs. So people have a rough idea.
6, manual shows the washer facing up for installation of the bottom plate. how about the electrical wiring on the back panel. Will it be damaged?
7, Online registration process is time consuming and so many wired questions.
8, no clear serial number on the back plate, just printed on a small piece of paper sticker. Also no specification of the format, so hard to distinguish number 0 and O.
Haier is a famous brand in China, I wish to see high quality product from them, so there will be less people blaming China for poor quality imported product.
The machine does not work once it gets to spin. I guess it doenst have enough power to do so, and i dont know what to do about this. Is there any i can email to help me out about this or to get my money back?
Leak water everywhere and every times, and can not work at my second useage. I have asked to exchange, but didn't get it back until now.
Just got my portable washer yesterday. It came from Target, was double-boxed and arrived in perfect condition. I had no trouble following the set-up instructions, and had the machine up and running within an hour. I live in a small cottage, with a connected livingroom and kitchen (where I run the machine). The first load was a week's worth of socks, underwear and a set of scrubs (for one person), and I selected the medium water level, which was plenty for this load. The machine ran through the wash cycle without a problem, and was surprisingly quiet. The spin cycle did a great job of removing water from the clothes. This washer is perfect for me, a single person in a small living space, and so far has exceeded my expectations.
Great washer if u dont have much space or room and it doesnt even taken up alot of space either when your done using it u can just put it in a small corner out of the way and it doesnt take much room up either...i defenetly would recommend it and its worth the price coz you pay more other places good deal to.
I heard about it on a Wednesday, researched it Wed night, bought it on Thursday and I now it is Saturday I am head over heels in love with it. I feel like Wall- E!
For the past 5 years I have lived in a walk up NYC apt without laundry in the building or a real washing machine hookup. I am very busy, hate wasting my days off lugging heavy bags to the crowded, dirty, noisy expensive laundromat, and don't like the lack of control, poor quality, sock loss, stinky detergent and insane cost of dropping clothes off, so the laundry has been a thorn in my side for a long time. I was very suspicious of this machine but thought I would give it a try and I'm so very glad that I have.
FACTS:
The setup was super easy, it hooked onto my sink in a flash, I have had no leaks at all, and the wash cycle system is simple and intuitive.
I have been running it on the ' high' water level, and sometimes even adding more water to the top with the manual override. It's been working fine, no leaks at all.
I am using the water draining into the sink as a gray water pre wash for my dishes and will save the rinse outflow in the summer for my plants.
PROS:
The price is pretty unbeatable.
Total control- over the wash time and cycles- heavy to delicate - water temperature, and everything else.
Ease of use- it is very intuitive.
It's not silent when it runs but it's quiet enough. Certainly not disturbing or annoying.
My clothes are coming out way cleaner than at the laundromat. I mean WAY CLEANER.
The clothes come out dry enough so that they will dry overnight.
My cat is entertained by the sink outflow and likes to sit on the machine ...
If you work at home it's a no brainer to deal with and segments your work periods ( aka gives you excuses for little breaks!)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Someone smart mentioned this in another review and they were right: it is IMPERATIVE that you attach some sort of filter to the outflow tube that drains into the sink. It will catch a LOT of lint that would otherwise go down and perhaps block your kitchen plumbing. They mentioned attaching a paint strainer with a rubber band but I am cheep and I used very small gauge plastic mesh 'baggie' that my fresh garlic came in at the supermarket. I clean this every 2 washes or so, it's a bit annoying but worth it, since it catches a surprising amount of lint.
You should attach the outflow tube to the inflow tube with a bungee or something so it doesn't jump around when draining into the sink.
I have had some in unbalanced loads, but that's my fault for overloading. When it gets unbalanced it goes into perpetual rinsing. It's easy to override. This has happened in 2 of my 6 large loads.
You can have the faucet on for the whole time the machine is running its cycle. I turn mine on in the beginning of the wash cycle and turn it off when the rinse is done. I didn't think it would work but it did.
It's kind of heavy to move around without wheels, and it seems the caster set is long gone but I just put it on a small wheeled dolly I had and it's no problem. It doesn't have locking wheels but the weight of the machine itself keeps it from moving without permission.
If you are washing anything with a drawstring waist like running shorts or sweatpants make sure to knot the drawstring before washing. The washing motion tends to suck the drawstrings out and I had one side of the drawstring of some running shorts disappear into the waistband wasteland.
As far as capacity, I was worried, some people on youtube are talking about washing one full sheet at a time. I haven't washed sheets yet and I may take those to the laundromat, but I'd say it takes about one third to one half a normal load.I only wash one 'big' thing like jeans or sweatpants per load, then add a lot of little things like underwear socks a couple of T shirts to finish the load etc. Based on reviews, I'm not going to wash my comforters or curtains or klippan sofa cover in it at all.
Definitely use liquid detergent and definitely let the water load first and add the clothes second. Very soon you will be able to eyeball how much soap and clothing it can take. I 'll be honest and say that am using 99 cent store HE detergent and it's fine.
I was worried about cost of electric use but at 10 cents per kilowatt it's rated to use $25 of electricity a year. Even at 14-16 cents/kw in NYC it's still low. Nice!
OVERALL
If I have trouble I will update this but so far so good. Obviously it's not for the Duggar family, heavy duty work or for people who don't want to ever think about loading or detergent, but for the price for the apartment dweller, it's potentially life changing. Beyond cost of laundry, it's already paying for itself in the time I can spend to work at home while it's working versus wretched wasted hours at the dreaded laundromat.
