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 was suspicious at first BUT THIS WASHER PROVED ME WRONG*** I live in an apartment 2 bed 1.5 bath. This washer fits perfectly inside of .5 bath and the closet that I store it in. It was bigger than I thought, but it fits my queen sheets and queen comforter in it perfectly. The settings are amazing for this washer. If you need to pause it and accidentally hit the off button, the sensor in the washer knows not to overfill it. It will start from the beginning is the only thing. The water hook up to the sink adapter fit perfectly (it is included with the washer.) If you are worried about this I would run to your local hardware store, its pretty easy to find another adapter. You can use cold or warm water with cold water hose. You don’t even need a hose to fill it, you could use jugs of water but you have to fill it until the sensor tells you there is enough water. It makes the same sounds as a normal washer. It’s not too loud. The washer rings out the clothes really well. Literally the exact same as a normal size washer. I got to 2 year protection plan just in case but I have no leaks as of right now. The lint trap is really useful. It catches so much lint. (I have two dogs) If you are worried about your sink clogging you can always put a panty hose at the end to catch the extra security but the water is clear with no lint every time I observed it draining. Just make sure your drain is not slow flowing because it pushes out a lot of water at one time. You could drain it in the toilet or a tub rather than a sink. I highly recommend buying a dolly. It is very heavy for one person to move round the house. I wouldn’t leave this washing unattended due to the drainage hose. Just make sure something heavy is propped up on top of it or you tape it down when in use. Also, the plug is a three prong plug. Don’t worry that you are keeping the facet on the entire duration of the wash, the water does stop when not in use of the washers function. Overall I see me keeping this for a long time. Even if I were to move into another apartment, it is easy for me to hook up to a regular washer and dryer hook up. If you are having doubts about buying this, I wouldn’t. It is worth the money. It seems like it will last a few years. The money for laundry mat gets expensive it evens out in the end. You are able to do your own clothes in your apartment and not have to take extra trips. Plus there is always a risk people will steal your clothes at a laundry mat or even in your apartment building. I don’t notice a difference in my water or electricity bill. It’s that cheap! There is a sticker that comes with it that says how much it will cost. Igor the 1.6 and my estimate is 9 dollars for the year.

I have now owned the 0.9 cubic foot and 2.0 cubic foot models. Both are fantastic - of course there are a few differences.0.9 cu ft model:- relatively lighter weight and easier to move due to combination of compact size and plastic housing body- holds about one large bath sheet OR one queen size flat/fitted sheet OR six pillow cases OR five xl t-shirts OR four pairs of adult khaki/chino style pants- cold water only- internal lint filter with external lint bag to attach to drain hose- noisier due to plastic body not masking motor noises2.0 cubic foot model:- larger body and heavier - I highly recommend a locking furniture skate or dolly if you need to move it- holds a set of queen sheets OR two large bath sheets and two hand towels and two wash cloths OR four pairs of pants and three to four xl shirts- optional hot water hookup or cold water only operation- internal lint filter bag for ease of cleaning- soap dispenser tray at water inlet- quieter operation- hoses seem shorter because they attach to the back, rather than the top of the machineBoth machines:- Connect easily to sink with aerator style faucet- Need drain hose above the height of the top of the machine- Need to be relatively close to the sink unless you buy hoses other than those includedMy clothes are cleaner than they’ve ever been from a laundromat, no odors from the soaps or wash conditions of others. The machines both spin enough that the clothes come out as dry as they would from a full size machine. I put the little one though its paces - two loads or more per day, every day for over a year and I only “upgraded” so that I could do laundry less frequently and wash a queen size blanket. These machines have a surprisingly robust set of features for such compact wonders - they sense water flow, rebalance better than most full size machines, have impellers instead of agitators making them safer for delicates.If you’re stuck without hookups and need machines that will handle your entire household, these are a fantastic purchase.
