5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!, July 26, 2007

The first washer arrived damaged. I called Target and they were so helpful. UPS picked up the damaged unit with no problem. The new one arrived a couple of days later and thankfully was in perfect condition. We easily put it together. As others have mentioned the directions were kind of vague. But other than that assembly went quickly. It is now up and running. I did two loads of wash in my own apartment last night! It is like a miracle!

I was considering the smaller 8lb. model but I am so glad that I upgraded. The 11lb. model has an agitator, wheels that come with it and are optional to attach, a bleach dispenser and a fabric softener dispenser. It is also super quiet.

I would recommend this to anyone who hates the laundromat and is sick of dragging their clothes out of the house to wash them. I just wish I had know these portable washes existed sooner, I would have bought one a long time ago. It is going to change my life!

If you are thinking about buying one - just do it, you will not regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars I got in time for winter - apt. living so much easier, September 4, 2007

This compact washer is great - especially for a condo / apartment. I got it out of pure laziness..didn't want to have to walk to the laundry mat when the snow hits the ground. Totally worth it! Now here's the down side x 3:

1. some of the manual instructions can be slightly confusing to a
non-mechanic (probably a lost in translation problem since this is a Chinese product).

2. the rear casters are impossible to remove (to put the rear wheels on). I had to hire a plumber to do this.

3. The hoses are definitely too short...but a trip to the hardware store (for extended hoses and some kind of plumbing adapter) worked out that problem. You may also want to pick up a Y-adapter.

But it washes great. Check your apartment amperage! You may not be able to use the microwave or A/C at the same time.

THIS WASHER HOLDS MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. ITS QUIET, WASHES EVERYTHING CLEAN, SPINS OUT 99% OF THE WATER. THE OTHER REVIEWER IS RIGHT ABOUT REMOVING THE BACK LEGS-ITS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE SO YOU CAN LEVEL THEM. HOWEVER I BOUGHT FURNITURE SLIDERS AND GAVE UP TRYING TO REMOVE THE LEGS-JUST ATTACHED THE SLIDERS AND SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I HIGHLY RECOMMENT THIS WASHER; FOR THE MONEY YOU CANT BEAT IT.
