Product review (5 stars): I LOVE this machine!!!
I received this machine from a friend who moved into a house.  He no longer needed it and gave it to me after having it for 3yrs prior.  It works like a charm and its USED!!!  I work as a waiter and even though the apartment complex I live in has a laundry room, it's not always accessible especially at 12:30am when I'm usually arriving home.  This machine is easy to hookup and use so that I ALWAYS have a clean uniform.

Having a queen size bed, it holds the fitted sheet and 6, yes SIX pillowcases.  I have used this machine faithfully for 9 months and not a bit of problems, well except the day the drain hose fell out of the sink and I now have the cleanest floor in my kitchen in the complex. LOL!!!  But other then that, I recommend this machine highly.  The end of cycle signal doesn't really bother me, I personally think it's cute, since I'm not in the room when it plays, it's really not all that big of an issue.  I think it's better then a standard buzzer.

As far as keeping it level, I would really reccomend that to you folks that have uneven floors.  Sometimes the load does become unbalanced, but remember, you have 2 options, either get up and balance it, or go to the laundromat in the pouring rain/snow and use thier machines, paying up to $10.00 per visit.  I believe the inconvience of re-distributing the load far outweighs the convience of having the machine in the first place.

I also reccomend using liquid detergent as opposed to dry.  If you desire fabric softener, a standard "Downy Ball" works well also.  Just drop it in at the start and remove it at the end, the spinning action will release the softener at the first rinse cycle.  The lint filter takes moments to clean, again, NOT a big issue seeing you must clean a dryer lint filter every load.  Also the Haier website recommends to put in 1cup of white vinegar in the last spin cycle to minimize lint.  IT works!!, I add the vinegar to the fabric softener, therefore allowing me complete freedom from getting up and adding it afterwards.

If your sink isn't deep, or the front counter is too thick to secure the drain hose to, try this:  after hooking up the supply hose to the faucet, hook the drain hose to the supply hose and rest the opening in the sink drain basket lift.  By positioning the faucet to "stretch" the supply hose, the drain hose should sit securely in the sink.
