So far So Good !!!

I have had my Haier HLP21E for about a week now...I got it online for about $240 (including shipping).

The installation was a little bit tricky due to the akward diagrams on the manual. Luckily they have a 24 hour technical support 800 #.

The first time I ran the machine it leaked a tiny bit...but that stopped by itself the next day. I have used the machine for about 6 days in a row and it seems to work perfectly now.

There are a few quirks with the machine. The water temperature is controlled by the hot/cold handles on the sink. The washer needs to be fairly close to the faucet and sink because the hoses are not that long. I also have to use the handle of a heavy beer mug in order to weigh down the drain hose in the sink. Unless you have a dryer, the clothes need to be hung up to dry (I dry them on my shower curtain rod and most stuff dries overnight).

The good part about the washer is that my clothes come out clean and smelling great. I no longer have to haul all my laundry downstairs to the laundromat across the street. I'm also saving 3 bucks a load, which is what I used to pay at the laundromat.

So far I really like this little machine! I think it may end up being the best purchase I've made in a long time.
