Reviews
"But, the are large jeans and i didnt put the back wheels on so it was unstable. TIP: put all wheels on the bottom, make sure to tighten the connections and you shouldnt have any issues. I've only had to do an extra spin once for a load of towels and pants just so they would dry faster. I use fabric softener on the rinse cycle so my clothes dont dry stiff."
"If you are like me that your kitchen and bathroom faucets are not available to install the provided attachment, you can tap from the shower head instead. 3/4" male to 1/2" female adapter. Amazon link: http://a.co/8vRAZ2K. I attached some pictures which is pretty self explanatory for the install."
"Our apartment doesn't have the room, or the plumbing for a standard clothes washer, so we were delighted to find this compact little unit that could be rolled out when needed, and put back in the closet and out of the way when it's not. You just screw on a base plate, add the caster wheels, stick on the hose and tap connector, and you're ready to go! It has a plate in the bottom of the tub that twists and spins rather than a centre agitator like many machines, so it is much gentler on clothes. Recently I washed a puffy fuzzy bath mat with a rubber backing and found the machine did a great job. Tide Pods are super in this little machine, but liquid and powder cleaning agents also work well. It moved about an inch, and then beeped at me to open the machine and rebalance the load before continuing its cycle. Before buying this washer I looked at a twin tub portable version from another company. I wanted a machine I could put my clothes into and walk away, knowing it was doing all the washing, rinsing and spinning on its own. GREAT FOR YOUR OWN USE OR AS A GIFT TO A NEWLYWED COUPLE OR NEW MOM OR DAD. I highly recommend this portable washer, as it's good value for the price, and fits into our little apartment with ease. They also make good wedding and baby gifts to those like us who have limited space and/or can't hook up full-size appliances. We bought the Haier HLP140E 2-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Tumble Vented Dryer to go with this washer and love it too!"
"One secret to using this that I learned is to turn off the water after the wash water has all flowed in; that way, if you want to put in fabric softener, but you don't want to hang out over the machine, it will make a beeping sound when it needs more water for the rinse cycle and will not continue until you turn the water back on! Otherwise, you can time about 15 minutes for the wash cycle, keep the water on, and hope you don't get involved in anything more important."

Reviews
"You need to watch the water pressure but this soulution is easy, cheap and doesn't require plumbing skills."
"I reviewed it because I wanted to and I love spreading the word about good products that work and make women's lives easier!"
"Also the water hose does not fit into faucet, so it required some engineering for me to make it work."
"So far I have only used it up to the medium wash line, with the strength of the agitator I am afraid that filling it up to the high line might cause the water to spill out from under the lid. But (1) load washed 2 of my leggings size xl, 2 xl womens shirts, mens long johns, 2 boys school pants, 2 uniform shirts, 3 long footed fleece onsies for the baby, 5 t sirt onsies and about 8 pairs of socks... The spin tub is small and you have to split the load up in 2 to spin dry... but the spin dry is fantastic. I use a 50 gallon sterilite storage tub to drain the water into, then dumped it in my bath tub. The largest wash set to the highest water level says it takes 46L ... dude thats 23 - 2L pepsi bottles.. thats a lot of water."
"I also went to my hardware store and bought a showerhead diverter, a 30-in 1/2" faucet supply hose, and a brass "barbed" adaptor. * Sadly, 8 forgot the hose that came with the package, but I zip-tied it a couple times to get a decent seal. A decent load, to measure, is whatever can fit in the spin basket plus a one extra, light thing. Noise is compareble to an AC unit, and there are vibrations depending on where you place it and how level it is. I reuse my hot water, topping off the wash tub each time. Dry cleaners reuse their chemical wash hundreds of times over and your clothes come out fine, plus you'll rinse it all. All the coins needed, going back and forth, waiting for machines to open, ensuring I had enough quarters at the time, and the entire day had to be devoted to laundry more often than not. I live in the Bay Area and this ships for Los Angeles, so I got it within a couple days (excluding a holiday and weekend). As other have joked on here, it's in Engrish with such gems as "choke the dial" and "put staff not under." Sort your items keeping towels in one load, basics in another, denim in another, and so on. Step 3: Ensure middle dial is set to "Normal" or "Soft" and fill with water. The "inlet hose" is useless out of the box as you need an adaptor that the manufacturer assumed you had. Place the plastic insert in the bin on top of the laundry, close the lids. When putting away the machine, tilt it slightly toward the direction of the drainage hose to get the rest of the water out. I set the machine aside with the lids open as to prevent a musty smell in the future. It takes a bit more effort on your part to tend to each load, but it's easier than running up and down flights of stairs, digging in the sofa for coins, and fighting over the next machine. It's a really simple machine, gets the clothes clean, and I am saving some money from the get go compared to the few bucks it takes each wash in the laundromat."

"Dryer is great with multiple settings but not too complicated (for my husband) and I love the wrinkle guard for those times that I don't get to the dryer to hang/fold clothes when drying cycle is complete."
"Good quality, working so far two month pass."
"My last dryer I went with a more expense LG model that matched the front loader with the clear door to see through, all digital, tons of settings and options and gotta say I HATED that dryer. It didn't dry a normal size load unless you set it on high for an hour and a half, after just a few yrs the drum in it cracked which I found out was a common problem with that model. I've done about 10 loads in it so far, med, large and XL loads and I LOVE this dryer!"
"There doesn't seem to be much difference between low, medium and high heat. I put my fleece blankets in on low heat and check them every 5 minutes and even on low heat, they're hot as blazes."
"In the store, I thought the top of the control panel would be flat enough to continue to set my box of dryer sheets upon it, as I have no nearby cabinet; it's not, but that issue was easily solved and is not the dryer's fault. The drum tends to wrap sheets into a ball when drying, which I only do for one set of sheets at a time."
"The product and service was impeccable, I'm impressed,, seriously, EXCELLENT 💯💯💯💯💯😊😊😊😊😊✔️."
"It's a basic dryer and it works fine."

Reviews
"It's _different_ from regular washing/drying, you have to learn how to use it (takes maybe a week's worth of laundry to start figuring how to get the best out of it), and your circumstances may be different from mine and you might not love it, depending. If the clothes aren't coming out dry enough (as some reviewers claim), you're probably either packing the machine too full, or haven't figured out which setting makes them dry enough for you, or are thinking about the one heavy piece in a load of light stuff, or are expecting bone-dry. I chalk up the slight moisture to the better fabric care this washer/dryer provides - I think it's part of the reason my clothes are less wrinkled. Maybe if I lived in an area with very high humidity all the time, or had no air conditioning, this would be an issue, but it's not for me. Don't overfill (there's plenty of room in the drum, but you can't pack it tight and expect dry clothes at the end). 2. For me, the "long" times aren't considerably longer than a wash and a dry, and I don't have to handle wet clothes in-between. There's a lint filter in the wastewater line you have to empty about monthly, or when the machine tells you to. - Uses less electricity than my old top-loader and traditional dryer, but provides better fabric care, MUCH less hassle, MUCH more convenience. It's plenty big (capacity-wise), but you can't have two loads working, one in a washer and one in a dryer simultaneously. They stay on for 4 minutes, and I'd like 8, or at least the ability to turn 'em back on without powering the whole machine off-then-on while I'm unloading clothes. We put ours in a catch-tray - a plastic tray that's designed to help keep any leaking malfunctions from ruining your floor. A proper catch tray has a drain line attached (ours doesn't - lack of planning ahead). We also were able to get a "flat" catch tray online, that slides under the machine before you raise the sides and close the corners. Great purchase, and the difference in power usage will probably pay off the extra cost over just a few years. are looking at the "5:50" that comes up when you initiate a dry-only cycle, then not checking to see how long the machine actually runs. It's an adaptive cycle which reduces time by sensing the humidity of the interior of the drum. He arrived, took about 2 minutes to look at the machine, realized the problem, but didn't have the parts to fix it. I still am concerned that important parts might not be in stock when we need them; this repair provided a pain-free demonstration of that situation. ============ An update a little past 12 months in: After a little more than a year, the washer is still going great, and the love for it has not diminished here. For a post-installation install of pedestal, I recommend you get lifting straps (sold under many names; one that springs to mind is "forearm forklift") and a strong friend to lift, and another friend to position the pedestal under the machine. I cleaned the machine's tub out the best I could, and paid special attention to all the nooks and crannies around the door gasket (lots of pulp in there), and I ran a tub-clean cycle, while I shook envelope bits and paper pulp off of the couch cover over the deck in back of the house. I pulled the filter drain hose and tried to drain into a bucket, then pulled the filter, which turned into a little flood: recommend you have several buckets and a friend handy when handling this kind of problem. I chanced a load of laundry (grey to match the remaining pulp), and made it through fine. A number of loads later, the machine is still going strong, appears to have shaken off the envelope episode like a champ, and without a service call. I've been asked whether the machine makes the house more humid, and kind of fumbled for a response (generally, no, it doesn't). Here's a data point from an experiment: I borrowed a hygrometer (an Oasis musical instrument hygrometer, which helps musicians care for their wood instruments by measuring humidity and temperature and recording minimums and maximums - you can buy one on Amazon). After about five minutes of settling time in our kitchen (a good proxy for the rest of the house), no laundry run that day, humidity read 53%. I moved the unit into the laundry room/pantry (about 9.5' x 11', door open, also a freezer in the room) and let it settle there for a few minutes while I loaded the washer. I set a four hour delay and ran the laundry (mid-size load of jeans) overnight. I remain convinced that people who are having disastrous humidity or wet clothes problems are suffering from the reported installation issue where the drain pipe is too tall for the machine to effectively drain water. What I imagine happened is that there was a power-cut while we were gone, and Child Lock comes on as some kind of safety feature or something."
"Before purchasing, I knew this appliance would take longer than a traditional dryer, but 5 hours was ridiculous. As many other reviews have noted, the drain’s position relative to the appliance is critical. This machine uses cold water to dry the clothes – essentially cool tap water chills some pipes that act as a condenser to capture humidity from the hot air circulating through the clothing (like a dehumidifier). For some reason the pump is unable to move the water vertically to a wall drain (about 3 1/2ft above the floor) during dry cycle. Instead of pumping up into the wall, the water probably backflows into the machine and keeps the clothes wet, increasing humidity and lengthening dry time. For other loads, we put the drain hose into a 5 gallon bucket on the floor."
"I've read the reviews about how long it takes and how clothes don't come out dry and discovered that these are not issues with the washer as much as issues with owners not using it properly. On the time issue the machine weighs your loads and adjust the time to wash and dry based on that so if you overstuff the washer the time increases."

Best Clothes Dryers

Panda 2.65 cu.ft Compact Laundry Dryer, White
Perfect for small living spaces such as apartments, dorm, or condos. It comes out warm air, it's fine if leaving in the room in winter.
Reviews
"They only say how to mount the dryer to the wall (I guess that's an option), but they don't explain how the vent is supposed to work. It's a bit pricier than I would've liked, leading to the minus 1-star, but it's a good product that has met my needs and I'm glad I made the splurge."
"Clothes do take longer to dry being its half the power of a standard 220v dryer. But a longer dry time sure beats going to a laundromat or my building's gross laundry facility down in a dungeness setting in the basement. This dryer is perfect if you live in an apartment with no special venting or electric. I prefer this washer over any other portable washer because it replicates the old school agitator found in the middle of the washer which moves and thoroughly washes the clothes. Being Pandas controls are on the bottom which is perfect if mount on a wall or have a stand. But i dont have dryer stand kind of money so i improvised. Go to ikea and purchase the "Lack" side table it costs $9.99 and raises the dryer off the floor enough to comfortably get clothes out dryer and reach controls with out crawling on the floor."
"It takes a long time but i love my dryer it makes my house smell so good."
"I searched for quite a few dryers similar to this and they are at least 150 dollars more than this one, the Avaya dryer is very similar to this dryer and many of the reviews stated there was a loud screeching noise when they used their dryer, I have not had this problem with the Panda dryer when it is loaded properly, if you overload it, you will get a high pitched noise. The only downside to this review is i havent received my electric bill yet to determine how much this will cost me, but other reviews for the Avaya dryer said it didnt raise it too much, so we will see."

Reviews
"I mostly use the Heavy Duty/Perm Press cycle on Normal and my wash is clean and done in a half hour. There are three timer positions within that cycle which effect how long the wash agitation lasts...Heavy, Normal, Light. On Heavy the wash agitation is around 15 minutes. Using that as a reference the complete cycle time (start to finish) on Heavy is around 37 minutes, Normal is around 31 minutes, Light is around 28 minutes....your times may vary depending on your water pressure and height of tub fill."
"Even when I rented, I had an the old-style agitator washing machine I dragged from apartment to apartment so when I went to buy a new one, I was a little bit unsure because the new HE styles always came with groans and complaints that clothes were never clean and that the machines felt cheap. He said he would be GLAD to sell me the new machine I had selected, but he just wanted to *show* me the Speed Queen. Being in a laundromat gave it a weird connotation, but honestly -- those machines are in absolutely CONSTANT use and this company is able to create a machine that can deal with it, and furthermore, make it their specialty since residential sales are clearly not their strength. I could not find a single place on the international interwebs that said they were a "bad buy". Most of the reviews on the newest designs the big guys were making were negative. That their electronic components were unreliable and often rendered the machine useless when they failed prematurely. It's going to cost you *more* than an entry level HE machine, which is enough to scare most people off. It looks like something you could buy on Craigslist for $50, why should you spend [enter list price here] on it? My friends and coworkers still whine about their HE machines giving out, breaking down, requiring replacement every 5 years. Their white socks look like they ditched shoes for a day and wandered a swamp. I've only had this machine for 6 months, but I know I won't be replacing it in 5 years. My appliance dealer, though, gave me *in writing* that everything is covered for 10 years... except the transmission. Yeah, this washing machine smells like America's heartland... because that's where it came from. I'm giving this Speed Queen a FIVE STAR review because it's unafraid to be unoriginal. It has ONE JOB, cleaning your clothes, your sheets, your curtains, your small areas rugs like it's 1990... and it actually freaking does it right the first time."
"SPEEDQUEEN 432. PROS: HOT' WATER: straight out of the tap and is not diluted by cold water as many new machines today. QUICK 'CYCLE: A Heavy duty hot water cycle is just 30 minutes. ADD' WATER 'FEATURE : Becaue the government has placed water restrictions on all washers the water does not go all the way up to the top. Water will not automatically let out after seven minutes as most new machines do. COMMERCIAL MACHINE: heavy duty commercial quality washer, same as the laundromats use. NO 'COMPUTER: No lid lock, no computer to malfunction, simple rotary dial. CLEAN 'CLOTHES: Gets clothes really clean, and if you have grass or dirt it washes right out of the machine unlike some new machines. It has no computer, no lid lock, no automatic release of water if you try to soak the clothes in the manner prescribed by SpeedQueen. No 2 -3 hour wash cycle with the hot water as in the new style machines. Regular hot water cycle is still only 30 minutes!! 'the Speed Queen is only machine on the market where you can still get hot water out of your tap without it being diluted with cold due to the new government regulations). Many machines get great reviews in Consumers Reports but then the actual reviewers out in the real world say the machines fail due to computer errors, or spins holes into their clothes, or in spite of all precautions their clothes smell like mold. There are many real world reviews that say the water temperature for a hot water wash was really 60 degrees in the winter. If you have allergies and need a hot water cycle then do lots of research and get a certifed NSF'allergen cycle. People sticking a thermometer in the water are getting 60 degrees for a hot water wash. Computer errors abound this year in the land of washers. At this point there are too many problems with the washers this year so I went with the Speed Queen as it has no computer, a hot wash in just 30 minutes and my clothes will not smell like mold. I still LOVE this machine."

"My wife and I were getting extremely tired of washing dishes every night. Neither our local Home Depot or Lowes carried anything in the portable variety. More hassle than they are worth… Imagine the headache of rolling a dishwasher out to your sink, hooking it up to a faucet, plugging it in, running the discharge hose into the sink… really??? I went back to search mode and reluctantly bought this SPT getup. The only differences are the additional attachments, wheels on the bottom, counter space on top, cement weight in the rear (to counter balance the weight of dishes on an extended rack), and a power plug. I got rid of all attachments that were unnecessary, placed caster coasters under the wheels, plugged it into a well hidden extension cord and installed lines just like a regular dishwasher. Physics: The discharge pump does not have to fight gravity to make it up to the sink. Pots, pans, ladles, tongs, forks, knives, plates, glasses… stuck on food, dried mac and cheese, greasy pans… ALL CLEAN."
"It had a little trouble with removing peanut butter (because I was sort of terrible about rinsing) and it didn't dry the greatest, but even still I would recommend this to anyone!"
"As an added bonus its on casters so it can roll away when you dont need it and the countertop is great to store your dish gel and rinse aid (I use finish, BTW)."
"So far this has been an awesome dishwasher."
"Just the perfect size dishwasher for our small house."

Best Ice Makers

Opal Nugget Ice Maker
Portability - Compact countertop design plugs into any electrical outlet at home and can come with you to your next camping or tail gaiting extravaganza.
Reviews
"Didn't even get a refill because my ice in my yeti was better than that crap they were selling... 2) I have been walking around randomly saying "Nugget Ice" and smiling... 3) Scared to post on my social media, because I know people will hate me even more for my awesome life. 4) My daughter woke me up this morning and first thing she said was "the ice is full"... A warm glow of happiness washed over my body... 5) I quit drinking beer because it doesn't go with nugget ice."
"I have long been a fan of "chewy ice" or as we called it where I lived in the south "Sonic ice" since only Sonic and hospitals had it. It makes sonic ice. It is not 100% exactly like Sonic's, this is more like pellets, but it has the same mouth feel and chew of Sonic's ice. If you want Sonic ice, this is the only thing sub $1500 that does it. Lastly the smaller ice like this easily outlasts normal cubes and the larger sphere ice by nearly a 2x margin in my "testing" (ie drinking liquor side by side) so far, and that was always how it was in the past with real Sonic ice. It spits out ice pretty quickly as well, with ice coming out within 5-10 minutes and will hold up to 3 lbs in the bin, which also lasts hours before melting. Slow falling white means defrosting whereas faster falling white means making ice, a little confusing. If you are a hard lover of Sonic or "chewy ice" and have the money to spend, this is a wonderful machine and I love the ice it makes!"
"Once cleaned and sterilized it began making ice just fine strongly recommend this product to anyone."
"We've had ours almost a year and it's had to be replaced twice already."
"We love our Opal ice machine!"
"The only issue is the condenser fan is a bit loud when the machine is making ice."
"Had many ice makers."
"We received the icemaker promptly and it appeared to be well packed. Before using it or even plugging it in, when I bean looking at the inside of the icemaker, there were clearly visible lines on the inside from the ice bin drawer sliding in and out."

Reviews
"I purchased this oven based on descent reviews but read a few that made me nervous. The design of this range looks great and is good quality. I had zero problems but I had a professional installer do the job so... maybe that helped? I have zero issues with the oven racks - again I'm not sure what happened for the other reviewer but they are pretty standard - I suppose if you misalign there could be a problem but that would happen in any oven."
"Absolutely LOVE this oven."
"Of course with the price of a Thermador or similar professional range all I could tell her was, "someday." This Thor Kitchen range does not seem to suffer that same loss of cooking power on LP fuel. Awesome job Thor Kitchen, thanks for finally figuring out that average households...with average income want that chunky professional looking range just like you find in home designer magazines!"
"Range is good, Super powerful burners!"
"Solid, even heating, no fancy electronics to break."

Best Range Hoods

Broan 413004 ADA Capable Non-Ducted Under-Cabinet Range Hood, 30-Inch, Stainless Steel
Enter your model number to make sure this fits. Non-ducted filter - effective non-ducted filtration system removes smoke and odors.
Reviews
"It prevents the steam from escaping all over the kitchen and does a decent job of filtering out odors, however, not as well as a fan that is vented externally but that is to be expected."
"My kitchen is the typical big city teeny kitchen."
"No it doesn’t suck in a lot of air, but it is a ductless vent, so it won’t operate like one that has a duct system."
"Love it!"
"If you do only light cooking this would be nice, but if you cook a lot of different things using a lot of different techniques I would suggest getting a more powerful range hood."
"This is a replacement for the old hood that came with our house."
"Not the most top notch, but for the money this hood works great."
"If I move it to the back burner.... most steam just bounces off the inside of the unit and almost nothing is drawn in by the fan. This fan sucks."
