Product review (5 stars): Great Machine!
I'd like to thank all of you for your reviews of this machine.  It made the decision to buy it a whole lot easier.

I've had this washer for about 2 1/2 weeks and couldn't be happier.  No leaks of any sort. No problems hooking it up, well, except that the gooseneck on the drain hose is too small to hang over my sink, so I tie it to the faucet.  Eventually I'll replace the hose with a better one but it's not a big deal.

To roll it around, I bought an adjustable file caddy, like you put under a filing cabinet to move it around. Made it as small as I could (14"x18") and while it's not a perfect fit, it makes moving it from the sink to the closet and back a lot easier.  I take it off to wash since the casters on it don't lock. Good thing it's a light machine.

In about 14 loads I've only had to balance a load once when I washed a single pair of jeans instead of my usual two.

As far as detergent goes, I switched to liquid detergents a long time ago, but I've found that even the regular detergent, as opposed to the new HE ones, do not create a lot of suds.  I'm use to seeing more suds in a big washer so one time I did put in 3 oz. but all that did was force me to run the rinse cycle again to get the soap off my clothes.  That's how you learn.  But it still did not oversuds and leak.  I normally use between 1.5 and 2 oz. of detergent for a large load and that seems to do the job.

How dry the clothes come out seems to depend on the type of material.  Sheets come out almost dry.  Towels and jeans have quite a bit of water left in them but an extra spin cycle takes out a lot more.  Everything else seems to fall in between.  But I can do a load at night, hang everything up and they're all dry by morning.  As far as wrinkling and clothes being knotted up, I don't find it any worse than any of the full sized washers I've used.  At least I don't have to untangle my clothes from the agitator.

I finally had a chance to try the Reset control and it worked fine.  I started out with a medium load and decided after it had started that it should have been a large load.  Just turned the knob to Reset and put it at Large.  It stopped pulsating, added more water and then started washing again.

The manual says it will stop in the wash cycle if you lift the lid.  Mine doesn't but does if it's in the spin cycle, which to me is much more important.

Funny, I thought the Jingle Bells that everyone mentions was going to be very loud and annoying but I don't find it that bad.  I know you can stop it by turning the machine off but I find that it gets rid of quite a bit of water in that last minute so I let it finish.

One comment about the pricing.  I'm in Canada and while we can get other Haier products, the washers aren't here yet so I had to find a place in the US that would ship to Canada.  That involves extra shipping costs, duty, taxes and then converting it to Canadian funds. I bought it for $169.99 US and my final cost in Cdn dollars was $337.00, which to me was a steal.  Every other machine I looked at locally and online, LG, Kenmore, GE, Danby, etc., would have cost me a minimum of $600, plus tax. I must admit that ordering something as big as a washing machine online was kinda freaky but it arrived here safely, right on schedule, and right to my door.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this machine to anyone who lives in an apartment or for any other reason needs a small washer.
