Product review (5 stars): I love my Haier washer, and my Haier dryer!
I purchased this washer several months ago, and I love it.  Years ago, I owned another one of their earlier models, but this one is even better.  The manufacturer seems to really listen to their customers.  It works well with no problems whatsoever.  It is important to remember to drain the emptying hose very well, as it holds about 2 cups to water after the machine is turned off.  I keep a small decorative metal pail (from JoAnn's) next to my sink, which I use to empty the water into after each use.  I place the bucket on the floor and place the hose slightly along the floor with the end of it pointed up, and a couple of inches up from the floor, so the water won't drain onto the floor.  This allows the water left in the machine to drain into the hose.  Then I point the end into the bucket and lift the hose slowly from the machine connection point, so the water will drain into the bucket.  You have to do this several times, as the hose holds quite a lot of water.  The hose connected to the faucet, I empty into the sink and place it in the machine when not in use.  Don't forget to clean the lint filters, and remove them carefully.  And I use cold water only - I'm not sure if the hoses can handle hot or very hot water.  Evidently Haier is the largest small appliance company in the world, and they have recently purchased General Electric's (a very old company) small appliance section.  Their headquarters are located in China, and they are a very good company, and have improved with time.  I will always buy Haier.
