Product review (5 stars): Worth buying if you live in an apartment
Great buy for living in an apartment -- and hooking up a real washer isn't an option. I was skeptical at first, but I have to say this washer is amazing. It's a newer model than the HLP23E, and the 24E has a stainless steel tub. I looked into the previous model more than half a year ago, but the price range at the time was around $350-400. The 24E had a "roll back" at Walmart, and I got this model for $259. The 1.0 Cubic Foot was $229, but for an extra $30 to have 50% more capacity? Seemed the way to go for me.

I will say, this was bigger than I was expecting. The unit itself is 65 pounds. I carried it myself, but it was an awkward carry due to the shape. The sink hose that comes with it is a piece of trash. I read the manual and watched youtube reviews prior to installing, and mine would NOT stop leaking. I reseated the factory installed washer in the sink hose, then the leak change from that location to the adapter where it snaps on and off. I went to home depot and got a different sink adapter, and a much higher quality hose for the sink (braided stainless steel). Connected that to the sink and washer, no leak. Just needed a tight hand-tighten to the faucet adapter and it was good to go.

I have it on carpet, so I put a square wooden ply-board under it. Keeps it level, didn't have to adjust anything, don't have any problems with vibration or noise -- the machine is very quiet for what you should expect from a washer. I also got a drain hose extension to run it to the bath tub, which in my opinion is a lot better than using a sink.

So, the machine is great. I'll update after a few months of use. Best of all, no more carrying laundry to a residential laundry facility (or laundry mat). No more dealing with the rancid smells and cheap detergent some people seem to use. No more waiting on an available washing machine. No more coin operated machines. It just saves so much time, effort, and within a year it should pay for itself.
