Haier America 1 cu ft Portable Washing Machine Review
Today, we will give you findings on one of the portable washing machines that we found quite useful – the Haier America 1 cu ft Portable Washing Machine.
In this review, we will examine the product against the factors you should consider when looking for worthy portable washing machines.
Type of Loading
There are two main types of loading – front and top. The Haier America is a top loader but let’s delve a little deeper and see what differences there are between the two types of loading.
Top loading
The top loaders are for those who don’t want to keep bending over and straining their backs while loading and unloading clothes.
Being a top loader, the Haier America is very suitable for you if you have a back problem or just don’t like bending over.
Pros:
· Higher energy efficiency when using cold water
· Faster cycle time
· You can add clothes mid-cycle
· Respond favorably when you add fabric softener
· Comfortable operation as there’s no bending over during loading and unloading
Cons:
· Less energy efficiency when using warm water
· A bit louder than front loaders
· Uses more water and detergent
Front Loading
The front loaders are for those who prefer water and detergent efficiency above comfort during operation. With a front loader, you will have to put up with having to bend over every time you’re loading or unloading clothes.
Pros:
· Higher energy efficiency when using warm water
· Uses less water and detergent
· Quieter than top loaders
· Their spin speeds are higher, making it easier to dry the clothes
· Come with extra cycle options
Cons:
· Usually more expensive when buying upfront
· Less capacity than top loading washers
· Typically unable to add clothes mid-cycle
· Longer cycle time
Size and Capacity
The Haier America 1 cu ft Portable Washing Machine measures 19.5 by 19.5 by 33.5 inches, making it small enough to embrace. Again, the weight is 43 pounds, and denoting that some folks can lift it without help. Even if you’re unable to lift it on your own, we’re almost certain that you can lift and move it with the help of a friend.
The small size and weight qualify the Haier America as a perfect caravan washing machine you can take along when going on a trip or when going camping with friends.
Typically, washing machines have a capacity of around 3.5 cubic feet, with the larger models having a capacity of around 4.5. It is, therefore, clear that with a capacity of 1 cubic foot, the Haier America can rightly be categorized as a mini washing machine.
Durability
You need something that will do your laundry for a couple of years to come, don’t you? On that note, the Haier America is an excellent selection. Its tub is crafted from stainless steel, which is one of the most robust materials ever. As the tub is the most active part of the washer, you will enjoy the service offered for years on end.
Electronic Control Features
The Haier America has a set of buttons at the top, and these help you set various functions like the wash cycle. There’s even a button that lets you pause the wash so you can throw in a few more clothes mid-cycle.
Viewing the cycle status is a piece of cake with the unit’s LED lights and when a wash cycle is complete, an end-of-cycle signal notifies you so you can remove your clothes promptly and perhaps start a new wash cycle.
Highlighted features:
· A top loader that makes loading and unloading easy (no having to bend)
· Lightweight – 43 pounds only
· Stainless-steel tub for durability
· Selectable wash cycles – heavy, normal or quick
