Product review (5 stars): Haier HLP21E portable washing machine
I live in a New York City apartment.  Although there is a laundry room in our building there is nothing like having your own washer to do laundry at your own convenience.  No waiting for the machine, no correct change/dollars, no wondering what was washed in the machine before your wash...in otherwords a real must have item.
This adapts to the kitchen sink faucet so easily.  The drain hose never overflows the sink's capacity.
You can't wash many heavy items all at once.  You do have to plan how you'll do laundry.  I manage to get all my underwear, socks, t-shirts, night shirts (light items) all in one load.  My bed sheets and pillow cases in another.  Jeans, well, you have to be careful.  I would recommend no more than four pairs at once, of course, I'm petite so a larger/taller person I would recommend no more than 2 pairs at once.  Then the bath towels and I'm done!
I couldn't live without this machine now that I have it.  It is a huge value for the money.  Also, Haier is so easy to deal with regarding any  service problems or questions.
I would recommend this machine, or a larger one if you have more space, to anyone living in a large city apartment building.
