First, delivery was awesome - within 3 days of ordering. Delivery was directly from Amazon and 2 gentleman brought this washer up two flights of stairs and placed it inside the doorway of my apartment home - this was a Sunday delivery as well -so much appreciated that service! Unpacking was super easy- I chose to cut the side of the box open as opposed to pulling the machine up and out of the box ( too heavy for that ). From delivery at my door, including set up to actually washing the first load of clothes was less than 30 minutes! Again, super easy! There were NO dents, NO damage, NO errors and NO issues. The machine was in perfect brand new condition and very well packaged! I did laundry this day from 12 noon to 10 p.m. that evening, many, many loads truly testing it out!
Now, to the questions ---
1. Does it hook up to kitchen sink? YES it does. ( see photos )
2. Does it have all the attachments you need including a sink adapter? YES it does. There is a small silver
connector you attach to the faucet first, then a simple push and pop secure connector placed over the silver connector ( see photos )
3. Does it have both hot and cold water hoses included? YES it does. ( see photos )
4. Is it easy to read and work the control panel? YES it is. ( see photos )
5. Could you use it at your bathroom sink as well? YES you can.
6. Does it leak? NO it does not leak - simply ensure your hoses are securely connected.
7. Is it loud? NO it is not loud at all and will NOT disturb your neighbors.
8. Does is spin well? YES it spins exceptionally well, so well you could simply hang your clothes on hangers to dry overnight if you do not have a dryer!
9. How long does it take to do a full load of laundry? Start to finish is 44 minutes for a full large load and approx. 14 to 25 minutes for the quick smaller loads.
10. How much does the washer weigh? The washer weighs 75 pounds.
11. Are there handles to move it? YES there are grip handles on both sides of the washer. My unit did not have wheels but, it is not difficult to move on linoleum, wood or otherwise- carpet might be a little more challenging but, with an extra hand no problem! ( see photos )
12. How big is the washer? This is a large kitchen counter height washer - for a good depiction of height and width ( see photos )
13. What is the inside drum like? The inside drum is stainless steal with no center agitator ( see photos ).
14. What is the washer's lid like? The lid is soft close and is "see through" but, it does have a darker cast to it even after you remove the protective covering from shipping - you cannot truly "see" your clothes washing if using hot water as it will steam the lid - with the cold water option you are able to see them slightly better.
15. Can I open the lid and add more clothes anytime I want? YES you can.
16. If I don't have hot and cold water hook ups can I still use both? YES you can, simply connect both hoses as you normally would to the back of the washer and switch them out as needed during the cycle. The machine will stop and beep an error if the correct temperature hose is not hooked up ( example would be washing hot and rinsing cold ) - when paused - simply switch out the hose and press start and the cycle will finish. ( see photos ).
17. Is there a warranty from the manufacturer? YES there is.
18. Is there an instruction manual included? YES there is.
19. How does the washer drain and is there a drain hose included? YES there is a drain hose included. This is a long white plastic hose connected to the bottom left when facing the washer - this hose runs up and over and into the sink, it is more than long enough for a kitchen counter and/or a bathroom counter ( see photos ).
20. What electrical outlet do I need? A standard home three-pronged outlet is perfect. ( See photos )
21. Is the power cord included? YES it is.
22. How much can I wash in this washer? This is a generous size washer drum for sure! I would NOT overload but it is more than adequate for a single or small family. ( see photos )
23. Can I wash sheets and blankets? YES you can. A full size or twin blanket, a Sherpa style blanket or thin larger blanket would be fine but, not a king, queen or full comforter, however sheets and pillow cases of all sizes are fine!
24. Can I wash full size towels in this washer? YES you can. I have fit all sizes of towels in this washer!
25. Can I wash rugs in this washer? YES you can but, it would depend on the size of the rugs. I was able to wash bathroom rugs ( large size ) runners from my hallway as well as toilet lid covering and small step out rugs from bathtub area. All my rugs have rubber backing and are nice quality thick ones from Bed, Bath and Beyond.
26. Can I use liquid detergent? YES you can.
27. Can I use powdered detergent? YES you can.
28. Can I use fabric softener? YES you can.
29. Is there a separate compartment for the detergent? YES there is however, I have used the compartment and also added detergent directly to the wash with no problems.
30. Will I love this washer? YES YOU WILL! I am exceptionally happy with this washer and after reading and reviewing quite literally every price point and every portable washer from Amazon to Home Depot to Lowes - I am confident I made the right choice and I'm certain you will be too! Hope this review helped and if so give it a thumbs up!
