Product review (5 stars): Great for Apartment Dwellers
Since Amazon won't ship this to my location, I ordered it from a warehouse club.  In my opinion, the Haier HLP21N 1cu washer is fantastic.  I am able to wash about 4 bath towels at a time, or a few pairs of pants and shirts.  I don't think it's loud - but that is subjective.  The washer goes through the wash/rinse/spin cycles automatically.  It makes an audible alarm when the complete wash cycle is done.
