BLACK+DECKER 1.7 Cubic Foot Portable Washer, BPWM16W

THE DELIVERY WAS DEFINITELY QUICK. THE LOAD SEEMS TO BE SENSED AND BALANCED FOR THE SPIN, SHOWING THAT THE QUALITY IS PROFESSIONAL. I DO NOT OVER-LOAD (4 OR 5 ADULT CLOTHING ITEMS MAX). THE FAUCET CONNECTION WAS DESIGNED IN THE 1970S AND LETS SOME WATER SPRAY SO I TIE A PLATIC BAG AROUND THE CONNECTION TO DIRECT THE LITTLE SPRAYING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SINK...NO BIG DEAL; MY MOM USED A TEA TOWEL OVER THE SAME CONNECTION HARDWARE TO ABSORB THE SPRAY). THERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL INTERNET VIDEOS THAT SHOW THE EASY SETUP AND USE. THERE IS ALSO A WARRANTY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT ONLINE WHO RESPONDED QUICKLY. THE CONNECTIONS (TO ALLOW WATER FILL DRAIN) ARE INCLUDED. I'VE USED THE MACHINE FOR TWO MONTHS AND CONTINUE TO USE THE MACHINE. THE QUICK CYCLE IS 15 MINUTES DURATION, AND WASHES, RINSES AND SPINS CLOTHES (4 OR 5 ITEMS MAX) TO NEAR DRY OR AS NEAR DRY AS THE LAUNDROMATT SPINS CLOTHES. MY CLOTHES APPEAR CLEANER FROM THE QUICK WASH USING THIS MACHINE THAN WHEN I USED THE LAUNDROMATT. THERE ARE ROLLERS ON THE MACHINE BUT THE TIPPING TO USE THE ROLLERS IS NOT ERGONOMICALLY CORRECT AS THE HANDLES ARE NOT POSITIONED PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. A ($35) PLATFORM WITH WHEELS ARE SHOWN ON INTERNET VIDEOS AS A WAY TO EASILY SLIDE AND STORE THE MACHINE. I USE $8 FURNITURE MOVING DISKS THAT SLIDE UNDER THE FEET AND THEY SLIDE THE MACHINE EASILY AND TAKE-UP LESS SPACE. I'M DEFINITELY GLAD I BOUGHT THE MACHINE ADDED BONUS IS THAT THE MACHINE LOOKS MODERN NEW. I READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY, HIGHLIGHTED IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WATCHED ONLINE VIDES BEFORE I USED THE MACHINE. THERE IS A 'PAUSE' BUTTON IF YOU NEED TO STOP THE MACHINE DURING A CYCLE.

the 2.0 size doesn't have the single hose inlet that sits on top of the machine. It has 2 hose inlets in the back. The water for a large load comes up to 3 holes down from the inside rim of the tub. I do not fill with clothes past that row Clean the lint trap every 3rd wash and keep an eye on the outlet hose. put a strainer in the sink to catch stray lint and if I didn't watch it could overflow the sink. the speed of the draining water can overwhelm and fill a sink really fast. The spin is very quiet. If you dont have a faucet with interior threads use plumbers tape to make hose connection secure to sink faucet. I ddint do a white hot wash yet. I did cold and warm and used the cold inlet. I am considering a Y valve to add to the faucet a hot wash may use cold or warm to rinse, this Im not sure of. The screw for the bottom grate was too short and too small to secure it but that didnt stop the washer from working. I think this is big enough to sheets and thin quilts or blankets. this wouldn't wash a thick comforter full to king sized - twin twin xl maybe. It does sense the soap levels and will rinse until it feels even on the rapid cycle - potentially extending wash times. the rapid got my clothes as a clean as a laundry mat would. the bulky/heavy cycle gets clothes really clean looks like it does in the picture.
