Product review (5 stars): This is the one..
While the all in one compact washer and dryer by Haier gets great reviews from a compact appliance website vs amazon's less than great reviews of it, this stand alone compact Haier washer received consistently positive reviews everywhere I searched.  The capacity is large enough for 2 people's wash and is about 75% capacity of a full sized washer. I did lots of research before finally picking this model.

The first one I received was extremely damaged- it looked as if it was squeezed from its sides and burped itself out the front.  The outside panel was bent out of shape with dings all around the container, not even an option to keep it.  Amazon was quick to exchange it and the next day fed ex picked it up.  A week later I received a new one in much better shape.  Like people said on previous reviews, an internal styrofoam packing around the inner drum could prevent all of the shipping damage problems, but for the most part everything else is packed well.

Most people who use this machine will roll it out to their kitchen or bathroom sink when they are ready to use it;  I decided to put it in a small closet adjacent to the bathroom and hard plumb it to the water lines underneath the bathroom sink.  The awesome thing about this machine is that it has a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet, it doesn't just combine all the water into one inlet like other compact machines; it has the option for a hot water wash.  Hard plumbing requires picking up 2 qty, 6' length, 3/8 size connector *dishwasher* hoses at H.D. with adapters included in the bag to hook it to the back of this washer.  Just needed to buy the 3/8" T connector to run one line to the washing machine, one to the sink coming off the water line.  The washer drain hose will still need to go down the sink, but I am looking into hard connecting that soon as well.

Operation of the machine is straight forward, decent led display, easy to set your options and pause.  I used the kill-a-watt meter on it and the washer proved its energy efficiency through all cycles including spin, using only 2 - 2.25 amps and only 150 - 269 watts.  However, only during the beginning agitation cycle, it pulsed the bathroom lights slightly that were on that circuit, might be a slight interference on the line from the washer's electric motor.  Not a big deal after the agitation cycle is done.

Have run about 5 loads so far, and yes the back "legs" are removable, there is a small wrench tool included in the bag to remove the pegs and put the included wheels on all the way around.

You cant beat the price and performance of this compact washer.
