Haier HLP23E Electronic 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot Touch Pulsator Top-Loading Portable Washing Machine Description
Ideal for small apartments or homes with limited space, this portable washing machine connects to a sink in just five easy steps with the included quick-connect sink adapter. The appliance features a 1-1/2-cubic-foot tub that can accommodate loads both large and small, plus an electronic control panel with an LED display for simple operation. Choose from four wash cycles (soak, wash, rinse, or spin); four water-level settings (very low, low, medium, or high), depending on the size of the load; and six cycle programs (standard, heavy, gentle, quick wash, wash, or spin). It also provides a power "on/off" button, a "start/pause" button for starting or pausing the wash cycle, function indicator lights, a beep to signal the end of the cycle, and automatic shut-off after about 10 minutes. Leveling legs make it possible to stabilize the unit even if it sits on uneven ground, and its see-through top lid allows for checking in on the wash cycle at a glance. To ensure safety, the unit will not operate with the lid open. Accessories include a power-cord clip, a water inlet hose, a drain-hose outlet plug, a gooseneck drain hook, a drain hose clamp, a lint filter, and a water filter--both filters can be removed for cleaning as needed. Fully assembled, the CSA-approved washing machine measures 19-11/16 by 21-1/8 by 34-23/32 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Love this thing. It's quiet, hooks into your sink (I extended the hoses with clamps and hose from Home Depot) and just does the job. Prior to having this in my house I was stuck heading to the local laundromat, which is demoralizing to say the least. Now I use this + a drying rack and I'm good to go.
For anyone with a small apartment and shared laundry, this is a MUST. Totally worth the money. The construction and performance of the unit is really good (so far), so go for it!.

I can honestly say that we have used this machine every day for eight months and we love it! We even wash cloth diapers in it and as long as it is not over loaded it will clean very well. There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to operating it so here is what i have to pass on:
- Read ALL the instructions! (we missed the part about venting the water hose to a sink as tall as the machine and had leaks until i did)
- Don't over load it, Especially on your first wash! (if you do have an issue and need to stop it's a lot easier if you don't have a big load of wet dirty clothes to deal with as well)
- Secure the water venting hose! (The water will come out with a bit of pressure and can propel the hose out of the sink draining all over the floor)
- Be mindful of old pluming. (we have old pipes in our bathroom and they couldn't take the water pressure and did leak)

I've had this washer for a couple months now . . . and I love it!
Set up was very easy (I got a T-connector for less than $20 to take the water from my showerhead, I can swivel the water between the washer and the shower, no need to reconnect anything, and it was very simple to find the right part at the hardware store.) It's quite compact and fits well in my bathroom. Cleans clothes great! Even better than my previous standard-sized front loader.
This unit will pay for itself monetarily in no time . . . and has already paid for itself in terms of my time setting it up, by my not having to sit around scroungy laundromats on weekends!
What a wonderful item, December 8, 2011 By

We bought this item cause I can no longer go to the local laundry mart since it is not handicapp accessible. But this Item in my own home has been a great wonderful fantaastic and an enjoyable product! It only takes a very small amount of detergent and it rinses into the sink drain and then spin so dry that shirts take less than 15 minuts ahnging to dry. WHAT A GREAT ITEM.
I can not sing its praises in the space provided, but you will love it! DO NOT overload and in 60-90 min [Depending upon wash duration you choose,] the clothes are clean and they are almost dry to boot!
I had to download the instruction book offline cause I threw it away accidentally. My unit came inside a box that was inside a box with big bubble-wrap in between the boxes. But even that was not difficult. I hope that anyone who orders this can enjoy it as much as I do.
Amazingly enough it only took three loads to figure out the correct weight in KG vs lbs [1 lb = 2.2 kg] and if you follow the instructions you will have clean clothes that are darn near free.
I have tracked that I spend on average $45.50 per month to wash and dry...but with my investment, it will take about 5 months to pay for itself. WHAT a bargain. It was worth the wait! It dropped $200.00 after Thanksgiving and I loved shopping for it.
Whatever you do get this washer. It will make your life so much easier!
This is a Spectacular Product!!!!, December 8, 2011 By

It should be 100 stars, out of 5!!!!
I absolutely LOVE my Haier washer. The 1.5 cubic foot is the way to go! Don't buy the 1 cu ft.
The energy cost is about $21-$30 a year!!!!!!
It gets my clothes as clean as ANY washer.
It uses much less soap than regular washers.
It is quiet.
The short cycle is great for most things (22 mins).
It is big enough to wash a sofa cover! And cal king sheets and pillow covers, all at once...that's why you want this instead of the 1 cu ft. I don't think it's much bigger, but it does so much! I can do one to two loads a week, and it takes care of everything.
It's just a spectacular product. Really... Quiet, efficient, easy to use. I can't say enough about it. I would heartily recommend this product. It is so much cheaper and more convenient than going to a laundry mat, and so much more SANITARY! It is inexpensive to operate.... pennies a load, versus $5 a load...Everything about it is amazing! I wish I had had it ten years ago!!!!!
To me, it is the most beautiful thing in my kitchen! I don't care that it is out. I don't have a cabinet for it... but I would move anything else out of the house to give it space. The most useful product I've ever own!
Best little washer, November 12, 2011 By

I bought this washer because I live on the third floor, and I was tired of lugging clothes down all those stairs. I love this washer machine it works just as good as a regular size washer. It takes a little longer to wash clothes but it is worth it. It was very easy to put together. Only con is it doesn't have any wheels, so I have to push it to the sink every time I want to wash. Other then that it was a great investment.
NYC deal, November 2, 2011 By

Just got my HLP23E last week, still on test-washing laundry mode. Best price at J & R Music World for $219.99 (less than $240 including tax for NYC resident) plus a free $10 giftcard (store's anniversary). There's 4 of these left after my purchase. Can park car in a parking garage 2 blocks away, spend $200 or over in store for free 2 hr parking, use your driver's license to borrow a large push cart from store & easily haul it back to parking garage. Washer fit into backseat of my mid size sedan (do need one person pushing & another person pulling inside backseat area). BTW, if you're petite like me, you do need a friend to help move this washer from store to inside your home.
Gift From the Heavens!!!, October 21, 2011 By

My husband and I live in an apartment with no washer or dryer. For a year we've gone to a laundry mat with no A/C every week and spend $25-$30. I finally had enough when I saw a homeless man eating out of the trash inside the laundry mat just a few feet from me! I went online that day to look for a small washer and dryer that would work with a 120 v outlet. I kept seeing Haier brand and read all the reviews and decided to purchase them from home depot which was the best price and most well know website. To sweeten the deal Home Depot had a discount offer at this time that got us $25.00 off our purchase which made the price cheaper than the other websites. Yay! We were happy so far.... Even better we got the washer and dryer in less than a week and both at the same time. Hooking up the washer was super easy just connecting some hoses to the bathroom sink. I was so surprised how much I could fit in one load. The largest load it fit and washed perfectly was 3 of my husband's work jeans and 2 of my jeans. In just 3 loads I had all my laundry done. It was very quiet but the swishing noises made my kitten and dog curious. Also I used the Downey ball and it work perfectly! Largest wash load took only about 45min. I'm so sorry I waited so long to buy this washer, it works great and I'm very happy with the size and price. Haier washing machine:$219.00, Price per YEAR to use:$38.00, Not wondering who washed their clothes in the washer before me and watching a homeless man eat from the trash while sitting in a laundry mat for over 2 hours: PRICELESS!!!
A must have if you live in an apartment/condo and do not have a designated spot for washer, October 3, 2011 By

If you live in a house and have space for a full size, skip this review and the machine. This is not the device for you and it will not be fair if you buy it and compare to a full set. But if you live in a apartment/condo with limited space, this will save your most trips to the laundry room.
Also, people who are highly attached to a dryer may not find the entire experience very pleasant at the beginning. However that is a temporary side effect and will disappear by continued use. Not only your clothes will smell nicer naturally, and will last longer, you will also help save green house gasses by letting nature dry your clothes organically instead of by burning fossil fuels. That being said, some of that energy will now be required for the iron as nature lacks in that area a bit (clothes dried on a rack after out of this thing will be wrinkled). However, you cannot beat the feeling of a nicely ironed and fold tshirt.
We still go to the laundry room for sheets and stuff as it gets a bit painful to dry those big items. Plus this washer is not very efficient on the water use so for larger and less frequently washed items laundry room is a better choice.
It does what it is supposed to do and it is great to be able to soak clothes (cant do that very well with the laundry room). We leave the whites sitting with a bit of bleach over night and after the wash next day, whites look really white. Noise doesn't bother us all that much but could be a bit more annoying if you are in a studio or something.
All in all a great product for a small(er) living space.

I just purchased this 1.5 cb ft (washes 8.8 Lbs.) washer. This washer works great. It was up and running 10 minutes after it got here. Very easy setup. On Standard setting all my clothes came out clean. It has 6 Cycle Options, 4 water levels. Spin dry gets clothes as dry as any washing machine. Very quiet. Had all the parts needed to hook to facet. Need Philip's Head screw driver to place sound limiter (plastic vented sheet part) to bottom, 4 screws, is all. Simple. Took only a minute. I'm getting as good of results as Laundry Matt I used to use. Very happy with purchase HIGHLY recommend it. Home Depot is worth checking first on price.
