I had heard all kinds of different, great things about the Haier HLP23E Electronic 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot Touch Pulsator Top-Loading Portable Washing Machine, and I was in need of a new washing machine so I chose to purchase one for myself.
I am quite pleased with my purchase. I really liked that the unit is quieter than a traditional laundry machine. This made a huge difference since this noise was so irritating. I also have had no problems with balancing the machine or with water intake. It fills quickly so long as there is high water pressure. The machine balances itself by stopping and starting until the clothes are balanced.
The high water level can accommodate a lot of clothes. I do about 3 loads a week, and it uses a lot less soap than traditional washers. However, the regular wash runs for about 45 mins which I found excessive. The quickwash runs for about 22 minutes and I find that my clothes are perfectly clean. I only use the regular wash for very soiled items. My unit came with casters so I had no problem. You may also buy casters at the hardware store, as the casters the machine comes with are actually fairly standard.
Hooking it up to the sink did require a trip to the hardware store but it was easy to find the adapter as I brought the intake hose with me. It is one of the larger compact washers out there - 20 inches wide. That way, it is large enough to fit a decent sized load, yet small enough to fit most closets and other tight spaces.
Overall, I am kicking myself for not having bought this fantastic washing machine earlier. I would have saved lots of money at the laundromat as well as time.
