Product review (2 stars): Handy but NOISY
I purchased the Haier portable washer a month ago since I live in an apt in NYC and hate using the communal laundry rooms in my apt.  While I was pleasantly surprised by how much this little machine can hold and how easy it is to set up I am extremely disappointed in how loud the spin cycle is!  I live in a 1300 sq foot apt and keep it set up in the bathroom near our entrance but even with the door closed and sitting at the other end of the apt I hear it banging so loudly I am concerned our neighbors will start complaining.  I have tried every load level since I initially thought I was overloading it or putting in unbalanced loads but nothing works...even with 2 pairs of socks it knocks around like a sledgehammer once it gets to the spin cycle.  Its so frustrating since I am technically not allowed to have a washer in our apt so having a loud banging noise makes the entire experience nerve racking. If I were to do things again I would have purchased another machine for more money with a less offensive spin cycle.
