BLACK+DECKER 3.0 Cu. Ft. Portable Washer, 26.5 lb. Capacity Washing Machine, 6 Cycles, Quick Connect Sink Adapter and Drain Hose Included, Transparent Lid & LED Display, BPW30MW, White

I have had this washer for just over 2 months now and I am well pleased with it. I did my research on different washing machines (that can be used without hookups) beforehand and decided on this one in part because of the warranty and the brand. It works well, simply no issues there. The way it washes seems a little strange, as it will swish the clothes around for maybe 1-2 min, then stop for 1-2 min. It still washes my clothes well. It is smaller than a typical washing machine of course and can't hold as many clothes. The spin cycle gets them dry enough that when I leave them on a drying rack indoors, they dry usually in about 24 hrs. It is not that loud, although that wouldn't really be an issue. You can hear the water swish in the machine, you can hear the sink when its filling with water, you can hear water rushing out when it drains, and you can hear the motor working to make the clothes move, although I'd say that's the same noise level as the water swishing as the clothes move. I live in a pretty small apartment with no hookups and wanted to save money from not going to the laundromat and I wanted the comfort of doing laundry in my own home. I fully recommend this machine. I have already saved more money than I would have spent at the laundromat. My setup has my washer in the bathroom with the inlet hose connected to the sink and the drain hose also draining into the same sink. I have them connected with a rubber band so the drain hose stays in place. Figuring out how to attach the inlet hose to a sink took a little while, but I had to take the water aerator off the bathroom sink and then it was able to attach with the attachment it came with. There are issues people have mentioned that I would like to address. Someone said the spin cycle on normal is set to 55 min and it seems to be a mistake in the programming. Mine initially said this too, but after my first use, it now says 5 or 9 min, depending on the cycle. Other people have mentioned that the washer will start draining water out of the drain hose before the water level is filled up enough, or if you use a bucket. I believe the issue there is the drain hose is not elevated high enough. It seems kind of weird, but if the drain hose is only raised high enough to drain into the bathtub for example, I had the same issue where the water would start draining before it filled to halfway (or if I added more from a bucket). Then, I raised my drain hose higher to drain into the bathroom sink, which is just about the same height as the washer, and now it fills almost to the brim and doesn't drain water prematurely. The manual says the drain hose needs to be elevated to about 34 inches high for this reason I'm sure. In case people don't read the manual or notice, there is a little filter on the inside wall of the washer which needs to be cleaned about every 10 washes or once a week or something like that. Its a little net that fills with lint and is very easy to clean.

I ordered this Black+Decker 3.0 Cu. Ft. Washer and when it arrived, I immediately got buyers remorse because it looked so huge but I unboxed it anyway figuring if the measurements were correct, it should fit. The measurements were correct but I couldn’t get it into my bathroom or hall closet. What I didn’t take ito consideration was that because of the depth of the doors, the washer needed to go past them at an angle which just wasn’t able to happen. I thought that I was stuck with it because there was no way I could now drop it off at an authorized Amazon return facility. But I called Amazon anyway and they were amazing. They set up a home pickup for 3 days later and instructed me to leave it outside on the day of the pickup. That same day the money was returned to my original payment method. In the meantime, I ordered the same washer just one size smaller in the 2.0 Cu. Ft. Version and it is perfect! By far the best washer I’ve owned. Thus far, I’ve washed at least 10 loads of laundry over the past couple of weeks and I’m very happy. The washer can fit a lot more items than I thought it would be able to so this 2.0 is more than I needed in the first place. It is extremely quiet even when spinning a load of towels. I live in an apartment so I was concerned but my neighbors said they haven’t noticed anything different. One neighbor said she just thought I was running my dishwasher more often because it sounded the same. I ended up getting both a longer water intake and drain hose but for the additional $30 cost, the total price with the cost of the washer was still a great price. I would have paid twice the amount for the convenience and time savings, and price I’ve been paying at the laundromat. My clothes seem so much cleaner and this washer spins so well that they feel almost dry as I’m putting them into my new dryer. Highly recommend! And a huge Thank You to Amazon for making the return so easy.

So I specifically bought this to bucket fill… I live off grid and don’t have any water source to directly hook it to. I have also had the Japanese style ones where there’s a wash cycle on one side and a spin on the other and they’re AWFUL. This is much much better. I had seen a couple reviews stating that they bucket fill this one, but not much info about water usage doing that or how it works, so here’s what I’ve learned so far (please note, this is for the largest model offered): The system seems to be weight based. Given that it’s hooked up to nothing I can hear the intake pump running at the beginning of a cycle. This will continue until the unit has enough water in it, but how does it know? I played around a lot and decided it’s gotta be weight based, which correlates with the size of load you’re running. So, I put my wash settings on “normal”, change the load size to small, add about 8 gallons of water + the drum 3/4 filled with clothes will get it to start. You’ll see the time for the wash drop from 37 minutes to 34 as soon as it’s got enough water. The cycle size you choose will affect how much water it wants, so I always choose “small” for size and this cuts down on how much water I use. The same thing happens on the rinse cycle. It drains the water from the wash cycle and wants another 8 gallons to do the rinse cycle. At this point it really depends what I’m washing if I choose to do this or not. I have a geriatric dog that makes a whole lot of laundry throughout the week, and for those items I don’t really worry about the rinse cycle. I’ll let the system run through the beginning of the rinse cycle where it is draining most of the wash water off, pause the program, turn the washer off and back on, and then put it on the “spin only” cycle. This cycle is automatically 27 minutes but I usually run it for about 10 and then stop it again. I use those little $3 Walmart micro fleece blankets for him and after 10 minutes in spin only they come out almost completely dry and smelling super fresh. I’ll hang them on a rack in front of a box fan and they’re bone dry within an hour. I also have a regular household pillow for him as a dog bed and that will spin out and dry super fast (2-3 hours) with the same method. This machine will hold two of the fleece blankets and the pillow at the same time, and get everything very clean on the normal cycle, small size. For my clothes I do want a rinse cycle so when the washer changes from wash to rinse I’ll let it drain the wash water, add another 8 gallons, and let the rinse cycle run. The main thing I listen for is if the inlet pump is trying to run. If it is, add more water. You’ll have to pause the system every time you’re adding more water or you’ll get an “E3” error, which just means the lid is open. So, all in all, it is kind of hands on if you’re a bucket filler. It uses between 8-16 gallons of water on small cycle depending on if you want to do a rinse cycle. Based on other reviews I was cautious to have the drain inlet at the proper height. I drain it to my bathroom sink and it works great. If it’s too low it won’t hold water, too high and the pump isn’t strong enough to drain. The drain hose has a nice moveable gooseneck on it and the power of the pump has yet to be so strong it kicks the gooseneck out of the sink, which has been my biggest fear. Despite the hands on nature of it, I really love it. It took me about a week of use, using it 2-3x a day to where I felt really comfortable not just standing over it staring and learning the sounds it’s making to know when it needs my attention. Living in a small space I can just attend to it while I’m doing other chores and it doesn’t feel like a pain. This may depend on how much you hate the laundromat or how much access you have to one. There’s only one laundromat nearby but this woman runs a wash and fold out of it and will tie up all the machines until about 3 pm, and then the rest of the community has a mad dash to try to get their stuff in so it feels like sometimes there’s a laundromat nearby, but it’s a huge source of stress to try to time my day around it’s availability. Other pros: it is really really quiet. I’ll run it at night while my s/o is sleeping and it doesn’t bother them at all. Whether you use the rinse cycle or not everything comes out smelling incredibly fresh. If you want to soak anything, just put it all in with water, soak as long as you want, then run the cycle as you see fit. Will definitely be keeping.

Make sure you remove all styrofoam supports before you try and use this machine!!! If you’re looking for a cheap reliable washer this is definitely what you want. If you don’t mind a tad bit bigger washer then I suggest you go check out your nearest Home Depot and Lowe’s for washers on clearance because I seen a whirlpool brand 4.8 cubic top loader for $475 which was really nice I would of bought that instead but I bought this first also I don’t know if the sink would work for the whirlpool so it is what it is. This black and Decker works with the sink which is why I went with this because my apartment doesn’t have a washer setup. So far so good with this washer it holds a good amount of clothes and being in an apartment with neighbors to the left, right, and below it’s great that this machine is quiet. When it’s on full speed spin which would be the loudest point for this washer you can’t hear it if your in the next room, also if your using a dolly to move the washer around you can put a shock resistant pad on the dolly and it will help even more with lowering the vibration and sound. As for the size it’s bigger then I thought it would be it’s about the same size as a regular washer it stands about 3ft tall out of the box but you can make it a little taller if you’d like. It’s still a good enough size to where you can tuck it away so it’s not taking up a lot of room which I like and if you put it on a dolly it super easy to move it around. It washes towels with ease and they come out super clean and if you use sent beads it’s really makes the clothes and the room smell very good you can smell it coming through the washer the sent on the clothes really POPs with this washer I’m not sure why but it’s way better then other washers I’ve used. I also love how you can mix and match different kinds of wash settings to how ever you want which not many washers do with other washers you kind of just get what they give you. Also keep in mind if you press the program button and it goes down the list of quick, bulky , normal and delicate the more you press the button you’ll notice the light starts to blink which means the settings on the left, So solid light is settings on the left and blinking light is settings on the right. As for how long this washer will last I believe it can last 10 years with no breaking down and if anything breaks on it I think it would be super easy and cheap to fix because I looked on the inside and the mechanism looks super simple and I don’t think it would be hard to fix plus black and decker has professionals that will come out and fix it. It also depends on how you treat it too if over load it you’ll probably get less time out of it but if you load it so there’s less strain on the motor it should last a long time. I like how the clothes come out nice and dry after the spin cycle so if you don’t have a dryer it doesn’t take much to get them fully dry. I also like the drain hose because it drains fast without the hose moving or falling and the water goes down the sink drain with no problems, I can have a bunch of dishes in the sink and the water has no trouble draining or filling up the sink. Also keep in mind it’s filling from a sink so it’s best to let the washer fill up half way before you put the clothes in so the clothes don’t soak up the water at the beginning making the fill take a lot longer. Over all great buy im very happy I bought this machine if anything changes I’ll update my review but I definitely recommend this washer and I also recommend the Comfee brand washer and Comfee brand portable dishwasher, if you need a portable dishwasher the comfee brand is amazing I’ve had mine for 4 years it works like new every time I use it and it runs and drains using the sink as well.

Super easy installation, regardless if you are using your faucet or have the laundry pipes in the back. My apartment is small but also comes with the laundry lines in the back the installation and connection was just plug and play. Simple as hot to hot, cold to cold, plug in electricity, and drain house to water spot. Tried it with a few different loads already and it does a pretty good job on cleaning everything. Spin power is good from the settings i tested it with so far and the clothes come out fairly dry, if you have a dryer it be super fast, my apartment doesn't have that so I hang dry and clothes are pretty much good to wear the next day. The machine has a lot of functions so depending on how heavy your clothes are or what you are washing. Only downside I would say is that it does tend to use a bit more water compare to a full size front load machine.

Really enjoying this BLACK+DECKER Small Portable Washer 2.0 cu ft. I've had a B&D compact dryer (2.65 cu ft, you can read my review for that there) for awhile but hesitated to get the washer, wasn't sure how messy it would be, or how convenient the hookups to a sink would be. I have wood floors that aren't supposed to get wet. But glad I got this, it's very functional in a small place and so convenient to have a washer at home. I don't mind the procedure to move it into place and hook it up, and I don't usually spill a single drop of water. This 2.0 cu ft model is a really nice size, nice stainless steel tub with no center agitator, so lots of room. It holds about half to two-thirds of what a full size washer holds, without overfilling it. I fill it to a little below the plastic rim. It takes up to two dryer loads in my 2.65 cu ft dryer to dry a large load, whereas with a full size washer it takes three dryer loads. That's filling the dryer halfway per load, as instructed. Usually the second dryer load isn't quite halfway full. I bought the WEIBIDA Mobile Roller with 4 Locking Wheels dolly for it, which works great on a hard floor, can move it with one hand. Definitely good to have the four wheels that swivel versus just two. Wish they would just build such wheels onto this washer in the first place, as having to buy the dolly adds $30, but worth it if you're going to move it much. I lock three of the four wheels, because otherwise it will drift a bit. HOOKUP Hooking up to the sink is very easy. The included quick connect adapter fit my kitchen faucet, and I actually like the nozzle on it versus my old one, so it was an upgrade to my faucet. Then the pressure hose just clicks onto that. Very easy to attach and detach, no need to unscrew anything every time. No tools required, I just hand-tightened. (Or if you have washer hookups, you can connect both the cold and hot hoses instead of using the faucet - that's a more permanent setup which I don't use.) The drain hose works fine with a kitchen sink, I've never had it fall out or move around much. Can tape it in place if concerned. I have a twin stainless steel sink, and draining a large wash fills the one side of the sink to about two inches below full. I haven't needed to pause it during draining, the drain is just able to keep up. I bought LASSHSWA 2 Pcs Kitchen Sink Strainer Stainless Steel Mesh and Punching. I really like these, they too ended up being an upgrade to my sink. I use the punched strainer for normal use (much nicer than a normal strainer imo), and the mesh/screen one for laundry, which catches a little more lint. Easy to clean when the wash is done, and that way not much lint goes down the drain. I turn the faucet on full hot, then do a cold wash (since the cold washer hose is the one that connects to the faucet). So the washer thinks it's a cold wash but really it's a hot one, or whatever temp you set the faucet to. By the time the water gets into the cold washer, it's not really hot anymore, so hot works well, and hot rinse makes drying go faster. Hot water gets clothing much cleaner imo, even for colors. It's really just warm by the time it's in there. When the wash is done, I turn off the faucet, disconnect the hose and use a little bucket to let the water drain out of the hose, just a little comes out. I keep a washcloth handy to catch or wipe up drips. That way I can store it without any dripping on the floor. I curl the pressure hose on the back and hold it in place with the electrical cord. The drain hose has a little hanger and doesn't drip, only the bottom of it holds any water after the wash is done. Then I roll it on the dolly back to its storage location, very easy. I leave the lid open to let it dry. In general I like to keep an eye on it while it's running, especially during the fill and drain cycles, to make sure the hoses are secure, and also during spin to make sure it's balanced. FILTERS There are two filters in the washer. The one is a lint trap inside the tub which needs to be cleaned every few washes. It's easy to check, basically a little bag inside a plastic holder. This seems to catch most of the lint such that the sink strainer has little in it. The other filter is the pump filter at the bottom of the back, which unscrews. Place a baking tray under it because a fair amount of water comes out (maybe a cup or so), and loosen gradually because it gushes a bit. I checked the pump filter after a few washes but it was completely clear. Unscrewing this filter also removes excess water in the bottom of the drain hose, which is important if you ever need to store the washer where it may freeze (which they don't recommend). ASSEMBLY The washer arrives in a box with straps, making it possible to be lifted and moved by one reasonably strong person. Cut the straps and the top of the box lifts off the base. The washer sits on a stryofoam base that extends up inside it to hold the tub during shipping. It must be lifted off the base. That's the toughest lifting part of it but not too bad, and there are side handles to grab it. Seemed well packed, arrived by FedEx without damage. I kept the styrofoam base in case I ever need to truck it. Then they tell you to lay the washer on its back on a soft surface (I used cardboard). There was some styrofoam debris inside the bottom which I vacuumed out best I could. Then a metal panel is installed to cover the bottom, held in place by a single screw. Then I assembled the dolly, adjusting it to fit the base of the washer, and leaned the washer upright directly onto it. Not heavy to lift that way. And that's it, the washer is up on the dolly and can be moved easily after that. CAPACITY I was easily able to wash a twin-size comforter. It's light enough, just bulky. I did a large normal cold wash (with hot water). I let it soak in there, and had to push it under the water a bit, but it spun fine and came out great. The compact dryer seemed overloaded with it, so I just air dried it with a fan, and fluffed it a bit by hand. Washing queen-size sheets and blankets are not a problem either, just mind the overall capacity limit. It seems to stop filling with water once a weight limit is reached. With heavier items there may not be as much water in it, but it's enough. It instructs you to use about half a normal dose of liquid detergent per large load. The way it agitates, it does move clothes around well, up and down below the water, even without a center agitator. I like not having that center agitator like a full size washer has. It makes taking the clothes out and moving them around in the washer much easier. Noise level is about typical for a washer, nothing extreme, but there is some noise and vibration. PROGRAMS The basic programs are summarized in a table in the manual. It's fairly simple to use, but takes a little getting to know its cycles and what behavior you will get, has a mind of its own. Personally I am a big fan of an extended soak time. I find modern washers are usually in too big of a hurry, and extended soaking is really what gets clothes cleaner, with less agitation needed. Excessive agitation also wears clothing out faster. Less wash time means less stress on the motor as well. It's usually overloading and overheating that kill electric motors over time, so I try to give the motor light duty. I tried a few different built-in programs, but eventually came up with my own routine, which takes a little more time, but is easier on the machine, and gets clothes very clean. You can add a soak cycle to the procedures. This adds a 20 minute soak before the wash, but I found it would agitate for 2 minutes, then rest 3 minutes, then repeat for the entire 20 minutes. That adds a lot of unnecessary agitation and motor use imo, versus a simple soak, so I don't use their soak cycle. The large normal cold wash seems to be the basic wash, but there is one issue I don't like with it. As mentioned in the manual, large normal cold adds very long rinse and final spin times (86 minutes of spin?) It does this because it thinks you're using cold water, so it tries to spin more water out for less drying time. But when using hot water from the faucet into the cold hose, and doing a 'cold' wash, this isn't really needed, but it doesn't know that. There is no way to override the spin times, except stopping it. Note that if you add a soak cycle in the procedure, then it won't use the longer spin times. So what I do is I start a large cold normal wash (with hot water), let it fill and agitate for a couple minutes. Then I pause it, and let it soak for one hour. Every 15 minutes, I unpause it and let it agitate for a minute or two, then pause again. Sometimes I need to reach in and push the clothing under the water, otherwise the water may not fully cover it. This method takes a little more time and attention, but I don't mind doing it. It gets the clothes very clean, with less motor use, less agitation. Otherwise the large normal will agitate for 13 minutes, which to me is excessive for most needs. This also lets me control how much agitation I want for a particular load, up to 13 minutes. Then after the one hour soak with intermittent agitation, while it's still full of water, I turn off the washer, and turn it back on (to reset it). Then I set it to large normal cold, and press the Procedure button several times until it shows rinse and spin. Then I start it. It will drain, fill, agitate 3 minutes, drain, and do a normal 7 minute spin (about 5 minutes of which is full speed spinning). This way it avoids the excessively long 86 minute spin. You can also add more spin time after that if you want additional, but I find that gets enough water out for the dryer. The clothes are slightly more wet than they are coming out of a full size washer spin cycle, but not excessively wet. And with the hot rinse water, they dry quickly. As I mention in my dryer review, I do a partial dry on the loads, then hang the clothes on bamboo drying racks. This fluffs them, and saves energy and motor use in the dryer. I also let the dryer rest for 30 minutes between loads, to let the motor cool. Hopefully this will extend its lifespan. Especially in a drier climate, they dry fine this way. Another option is to do a large delicate cold wash. In that case it uses the same 13 minutes agitation wash cycle, but it does shorter spin times, a 5 minute spin at the end (4 minutes of which is full speed). However, for normal clothing I found that wasn't quite enough spin time to get enough water out. So then one needs to add another spin cycle. Plus if you interrupt a spin cycle, it brakes fast, as opposed to spinning down gradually. I imagine this braking puts more stress on the machinery, so I prefer to let the normal spin cycle finish. One could also try a large bulky cold wash. Bulky adds 15 minutes soak and an extra rinse, but these can be turned off. Bulky includes a longer 9 minute spin time, per the manual. But since I like the shorter agitation cycle of my method, I haven't used this. Could also try Quick Large with an extra spin cycle afterward, but that is a 24 minute spin unless interrupted (with braking). While I was getting to know it, I timed the different stages it goes through. Those notes are included below. I like to know the times so I can check it at certain stages to make sure everything is okay, but I've done 8 washes so far with no issues, works great. I didn't fully time a large normal cold with the excessive spin times, because I never completed that. Note that fill times will vary with water pressure. Below is large normal cold setting, and I pressed Procedure button to add a soak cycle. This shortens the spin times (no 86 minute spin): Large normal cold (faucet hot) soak/wash15/rinse/spin8 fill 9m30s @7m agitates then continues fill soak 20m30s repeats: agitate 2m rest 3m wash 13m15s rinse-drain 3m00s rinse-spin 4m15s rinse-refill 8m10s rinse-agit 2m35s spin-drain 3m00s spin 7m00s about 5m full speed spin total 71m Large delicate cold (faucet hot) wash12/rinse/spin5 fill 8m40s wash 13m45s can pause here for extra soak time rinse-drain 2m55s rinse-spin 4m05s rinse-refill 8m35s rinse-agit 2m40s spin-drain 2m55s spin 5m00s about 4m full speed spin total 48m35s comments: wash was same length as normal with soak. Other times were the same except final spin. Clothes came out a little wetter than optimum, but dryable. Did about 4m of full spin with 1m slow spin and finish. And below is my routine where I interrupt the normal wash after a manual soaking pause, then do a rinse and spin, as described above. This is my favorite way to use it. It allows me to control how long it agitates (up to 13 minutes), how long it soaks, and then it does the rinse and spin without excessive spin times, and finishes without braking. Large normal cold (faucet hot) wash/rinse/spin + reset during wash + rinse/spin8 fill 8m50s @6m50s started agit 2m, then it adds more water wash up to 13m agit 2m then manual pause 1 hour, with 1m unpause every 15m RESET: turn off and back on, set large normal cold, procedure: rinse+spin rinse-drain 2m55s rinse-spin 3m55s rinse-refill 8m10s rinse-agit 2m40s spin-drain 2m55s spin 7m00s 5m full spin then slows down and stops without braking From there I do two dryer loads in my B&D compact 2.65 cu ft dryer for 30-60 minutes each. That gets it fluffed and dry enough for air drying on racks. Or for smaller items, put them in a laundry basket and manually tumble them once in awhile until dry. While I haven't tried it, I think this washer could be run off of a sufficiently large solar generator, which is an interesting possibility. Same for the compact dryer. I really like this washer thus far, seems well-made and thought out, looks nice. I would prefer more manual settings of wash, spin and soak times, but my workaround above works great for me.

Value proposition: - I'm a single guy in a 1br apartment in a historical building, so this guy has been a game changer. The alternative was paying $5 in quarters for a small wash and dry at the laundromat across the street. No thanks. Return on Investment (ROI) is strong here. If you're a sporty person like I am and do say two loads per week - one light, one dark, it pays for itself in six months. In my case, it'll be sooner. Setup: - I have this setup semi-permanently in my kitchen near the sink and use the adaptor to hook it up and then detach it after use. I have to take off the aerator on my sink to use the adaptor, so sometimes I just leave the adaptor on the sink for a few days but this makes doing dishes a bit messier. It's not difficult taking the adaptor on and off; if you're busy it's just another thing to have to do. If using the kitchen sink, make sure you don't have a "shower head" style head only because it won't work with that I wouldn't think. - My only real complaint with the setup is that the drain hose is a little too short to comfortably reach the sink so I ended up using a mini bungee cord to make it reach, hooking the bungee cord around the faucet. You could also get an extra PVC hose to extend the drain hose, it appears to be about 1" in diameter. For drying, I got a simple metal drying rack from Amazon, whatever the top choice was, and it works well. Functionality: - This gal works beautifully and cleans my stuff every bit as well as my parents' $1.5k+ machine. It is a top loader but agitates gently like a front loader, so it doesn't damage your stuff like one of those older machines. I use the Kirland Signature pods that come in the orange conatiner with this machine and they work well. I do hope that isn't too much detergent for the machine, which is the .9 version, but so far no side effects. -On settings, it's curious that the "heavy" load cycle is shorter than the "normal" load cycle. Not sure how that happened. I use "heavy" because it's already 63 minutes. There are also "gentle" and "rapid" cycles that are shorter so you have flexibility. - Basically, the way clean water works is that you turn on the sink after hooking up the intake hose, and the machine only lets water in when it's needed. To get warm water you just turn both taps on all the way and for cold, you use the cold, just like you normally would with a sink. The manual says to use cold water only but I've used warm water for whites with no side effects. I have yet to try hot only. Just proceed at your discretion realizing if there is damage to the machine it could void the warranty. Honestly, it seems unlikely it would cause damage, it's probably just some legal thing. Wrap-up: That's really it, I'm a happy camper and could not think of a single $250 purchase that I've made that has been a better investment and improvement to quality of life than this beauty. I end up using it pretty much every day because I'm a sporty guy and the load size is small-ish. That said, I can wash everything except for like a duvet in there so it's perfect for one person.

Machine is great but Amazon delivery was not. Get it from a store. We returned one because it was dented on 2 sides but the replacement delivery was worse. The box looked abused. Styrofoam was hanging out. There is a dent in the front of the machine but I decided to use it before I asked for another replacement. The machine does everything I need. The load size is very good for our camp life. I can do queen comforters and blankets - separately, of course. I love the soak feature for white clothes and dish cloths & towels. It’s easy to hook up to our outside sink. We put it on a dolly and can roll it in and out when needed. I would definitely buy again but not from Amazon. Amazon is great for many things but not this.

I just moved into a new one-bedroom apartment with no in-unit laundry. The building has communal laundry machines on the bottom floor but I hate the idea of using dirty machines to clean my clothes, having to wait for clothes or running the risk that someone may steal it. Even just paying for each load can turn out to be expensive. So I knew I wanted to a portable washer, and a high-end one at that since my lease doesn’t allow portable washers. I needed something that was good quality and silent. This machine has proven to do exactly what I needed. Yes it was a little more than what I was hoping to spend - but the peace of mind it gives me is well worth it to me. I can run multiple loads, in the comfort of my own unit, at any given time, and not have to worry or spend any more additional money. The tub itself is pretty big. I purchased the 2.0 size and I can fit my queen bed sheets in there, as one single wash but it’s still nice to be able to do that. I also purchased an adjustable rolling dolley that I placed under the washing machine to sit on. The machine itself is quite heavy ranging from 50-65 lbs (I don’t have a scale) and it is a struggle to move it from its living location in my house to the kitchen sink. This tray makes this task mindless and super easy and convenient. Other than that, installation was very quick and easy. My first few loads have been a huge success and I am thrilled with my purchase.

Cleans clothes amazingly, and quieter then I expected. Easy to operate which i love.

Haré una reseña con funcionamiento o usos. Apenas la tengo por 3 días y ya la usé 7 veces. Eso sí, tardó casi un mes en enviarse (Amazon Internacional Standard) desde la fecha de compra. Aproximadamente 20 días. El envío sólo fue de 2 días. Las medidas de profundidad contando la manguera de desagüe es de 48cm, la medida de ancho con espacios laterales recomendados es de 45cm y la altura es de 78cm. Es decir, una ves que la abres y sacas de la caja, es muy bonita y da ternura por lo compacta. Pero esa es su ventaja. Las cargas habituales que realice fueron de : 15 boxers talla M, o 5 a 7 playeras talla M o G, o 2 pantalones de mezclilla talla 32. No la llenes a más de 3/4 de ropa seca. Detergente se recomienda usar los que tienen el logo "he" high efficiency (alta eficiencia). En mi caso recomiendo el detergente mexicano "Newen" de venta también en Amazon. Ya que es biodegradable y concentrado (alcanza a lavar bien con una a tres cucharadas 10 a 30ml) en lugar de los detergentes comerciales que usas tapas de más de 100ml. Aún así en las instrucciones se recomienda usar la mitad de lo que dicen los envases. En cuanto a ruido, es muy silenciosa incluso durante el centrifugado. Respecto a las conexiones, los aditamentos con los que viene, fueron suficientes para conectarla a la llave del lavabo. Viene con dos gomitas dentro de la conexión rápida. Dependiendo si es para rosca interna o externa se pone o se quita el empaque superior. La manguera del desagüe, TIENE QUE ESTAR POR ENCIMA DEL NIVEL DE AGUA DE LA LAVADORA, es decir, si la dejas en el suelo, jamás se va a llenar. Tiene varios modos de lavado. Únicamente el modo Pesado (Heavy), Gentil (Gentle) y Remojar (Soak) te dejan modificar todos los parámetros de lavado. El modo Normal y Rápido sólo permite cambiar nivel de agua y número de enjuagues. El lavado (Wash) se puede seleccionar hasta 20min, se pueden seleccionar hasta tres enjuagues (Rinse) y hasta 9min de centrifugado (Spin). Cualquiera de estos tres parámetros se pueden omitir al dejarlos en 0. El modo rápido tarda 15min y el modo más tardado 88/90min. El atrapa pelusa en verdad funciona. No tengo ninguna queja al respecto. Si acaso el tiempo de envío y el costo que se paga por importación (va incluído en el precio). Si esta lavadora se vendiera en México costaría $1,200 pesos menos es decir entre $5,500 a $6,100 pesos. Que bien lo valen. En verdad recomiendo la lavadora. Como extra les recomiendo comprar un codo a 90° para la manguera de llenado y quede más cómoda la conexión en la lavadora. Haré actualización al mes o 3 meses, a ver qué tal va. Ha pasado un mes, y todo funciona perfectamente, igual que el primer día. El modo de lavado "Pesado" es mi favorito, el cual personalizo en cada lavada. Recomiendo usar jabón Persil.

Purchased this compact washer for next summer when we set up our new RV. I am truly amazed by this small washer. It is currently set up in my laundry room at home. I use my home washer for larger loads and have used the Black and Decker compact for smaller loads to test it out. I am thrilled with it. Best decision to purchase it. I can pick it up easily although I decided to purchase a dolly for it. It is easy to move, easy to use, quiet and efficient. I will continue to use it over the winter for smaller loads. Word of advice to anyone buying….remember to not overload and use the right quantity of HE laundry soap. It is a wonderful machine so read the manufacturer’s instructions and don’t treat it like a full size machine. I love mine.

Super efficace ,Essorage vraiment exceptionnel, Très facile à déplacer.
