Surprisingly good, for what it is.

by venat1 , Jun 11 '04
Pros: Price is right, reasonably sized, convenient. Cleans your clothes with no frills.
Cons: Plastic lid hinges and intake nipple. Loud. Gets "Jingle Bells" stuck in your head.
Like other reviewers of this machine, I am an apartment dweller who grew tired of lugging my laundry to the laundromat. My wife saw the XQBM22-C at a local discount store, and thought we should get it. I was quite dubious about because, frankly, I ...

Great value for the money

by epjh , Mar 04 '04
Pros: Small, quiet, cheap.
Cons: No proper way to secure attachments, intake hose attachment design.
Why I always wanted my own washer I've always wanted my own washer in my downtown apartment. A few years ago, I saw an Italian front loading combo washer/dryer (washes and dries in the same unit), and I thought that I found my match, but the ...

About Two Years and Still Going Strong

by jkuieck , Aug 11 '04
Pros: Inexpensive Compact Easy to use Durable Reliable
Cons: Jingle Bells! Badly written, poorly thought-out manual
Same story as everyone else: I live in an apartment and got sick of trips to the laundry room, hoarding quarters, etc. Found this product on epinions and found other reviews very helpful. Reasonably confident that Haier products are well-built and ...

Great washer for Manhattanites (and apt dwellers in general)

by zhany2 , Jul 09 '03
Pros: Small, lightweight, and works very well
Cons: Awful documentation, and plays Jingle Bells when finished washing (not a joke!)
Why a portable washer? Since I've been spending lots of time in Manhattan (I live in Bosto ...

LOVE this washer!

by karengr , Aug 22 '04
Pros: Quiet, small, efficient, portable
Cons: can't store hoses well
I live in an apt. on the second floor out in the country. After lugging a month's worth of dirty laundry 17 miles to the nearest laundromat during a busy month, then spending $30 and still taking damp clothes home, I decided there had to be an ...

Now that it's working, it seems to be working; not recommended for heavy duty items.

by pros-n-cons , Jun 08 '04
Pros: Compact & cute. Decent job cleaning. Lightweight clothes practically dry after spin cycle. Year warranty.
Cons: Likely hard to service for parts. Customer service virtually useless. Cannot conveniently switch water temperatures.
First of all, THANK YOU to everybody who writes Epinions because they have been very helpful to me! Hope this review helps someone too. SUMMARY (also see "Conclusions" below): * New machine arrived NOT WORKING. * Two-week wait for repair person, ...

Attention Other Studio Dwellers!

by studiodweller , Oct 03 '04
Pros: size, portability, mechanical quality and quietness
Cons: lack of casters without additional purchase, plastic body
Let me summarize by saying that this little machine is worth it's weight in gold, and is definitely worth the precious floorspace you need to give up in order to add it to your furnishings. You can fit it under something like a cabinet or one of those ...

The Little Washer That Could

by Storm01 , Apr 11 '06
Pros: automatic, efficient, portable, affordable
Cons: small water leakage
Around this time last year, I found myself in a serious predicament...I had somehow accumulated a mountain's worth of dirty laundry and couldn't quite figure out how it had happened. What once was a few pieces that needed washing turned into an ...

BY GOLLY IT REALLY WASHES WELL!!!

by risita , Feb 25 '04
Pros: Ease of use, simple instructions, small enought to tuck away anywhere.
Cons: First signs of leakage frightend me but all gone now. Nothing else to report
I've been doing my own laundry since I was 14 (1985). Up until then, my mom did laundry old school style...with a washboard in the sink. I will never to this day understand this! As soon as I was old enough, I knew better, so I headed to my nearest ...

I have poor performance from the Haier 4.9lb portable washer

by lydiasplace , Mar 02 '04
Pros: It IS small, light, and easy to assemble.
Cons: The leaks are major, it does NOT WORK, cute design but not a SMART design.
I bought this based on the reviews here at Epinions, lol! I actually do appreciate the well written reviews here and I know you were sharing accurately what your experiences have been. Mine was a great price online, just under $200.00, and I was so ...

We got what we paid for, sort of

by jmulvey70 , Jan 15 '05
Pros: Easy to figure out controls, set wash cycles, and control water temperature
Cons: Fragile construction, mediocre cleaning, hard on clothes, and nonexistent manufacturer support.
I also bought this machine, in part, because of good reviews online. We had a 2-month-old baby (now 15 months). I didn't expect perfection, but I was still disappointed in the performance of this machine. Basically, if your clothes aren't all that dirty ...

Decent Performance for the Money

by jeffersonb , May 22 '04
Pros: Price, effective cleaning, convenience, size
Cons: Small leaks, some spin cycle problems, some tangling of clothes
I too was looking for a small washer for my one bedroom apartment (my building is without laundry and I was sick of going to the laundromat). I wanted a front loader like is common in London apartments, but when I was able to find one it was outrageously ...

No sir, I am not giving it up!

by grumpy4090 , Aug 23 '05
Pros: You get what you pay for. The machine operates efficently and quietly.
Cons: Need a better manual and the term fully automatic should be reviewed.
I had been shopping for an apartment size washer for the last 6 months. This will be my second machine. The first, another brand I gave to a friend. After a lot of comparison shopping and learning what the limitations are of a less than full size washer, ...

Great VALUE!

by vitalmodelscom , Feb 01 '06
Pros: Great value, efficient, small, light, gets job done
Cons: Jingle Bells Melody, nowhere to stow hoses.
I have now owned my Haier XQBM22-C 4.9LB portable washer for 7 months, and let me tell you, this baby hasn't skipped a beat. I use it about 3 - 5 times weekly, I have definately put this machine to it's worth. So what exactly should you expect? ...

A Great Little Washing Machine

by xiaowan , Jan 13 '04
Pros: Easy to assemble, runs great, clean design, compact.
Cons: A little leakage, nothing a few rags couldn't handle. Plays Jingle Bells.
Zhany2 pretty much said it all. What can I add? I live in a small apartment complex in the Bay Area that has a laundry room, one that the landlord doesn't maintain in working order (something I didn't discover until after I had moved in and run a few ...
