Title: 3.0 cubic holds a good amount and washes very well.
Review: Make sure you remove all styrofoam supports before you try and use this machine!!! If you’re looking for a cheap reliable washer this is definitely what you want. If you don’t mind a tad bit bigger washer then I suggest you go check out your nearest Home Depot and Lowe’s for washers on clearance because I seen a whirlpool brand 4.8 cubic top loader for $475 which was really nice I would of bought that instead but I bought this first also I don’t know if the sink would work for the whirlpool so it is what it is. This black and Decker works with the sink which is why I went with this because my apartment doesn’t have a washer setup. So far so good with this washer it holds a good amount of clothes and being in an apartment with neighbors to the left, right, and below it’s great that this machine is quiet. When it’s on full speed spin which would be the loudest point for this washer you can’t hear it if your in the next room, also if your using a dolly to move the washer around you can put a shock resistant pad on the dolly and it will help even more with lowering the vibration and sound. As for the size it’s bigger then I thought it would be it’s about the same size as a regular washer it stands about 3ft tall out of the box but you can make it a little taller if you’d like. It’s still a good enough size to where you can tuck it away so it’s not taking up a lot of room which I like and if you put it on a dolly it super easy to move it around. It washes towels with ease and they come out super clean and if you use sent beads it’s really makes the clothes and the room smell very good you can smell it coming through the washer the sent on the clothes really POPs with this washer I’m not sure why but it’s way better then other washers I’ve used. I also love how you can mix and match different kinds of wash settings to how ever you want which not many washers do with other washers you kind of just get what they give you. Also keep in mind if you press the program button and it goes down the list of quick, bulky , normal and delicate the more you press the button you’ll notice the light starts to blink which means the settings on the left, So solid light is settings on the left and blinking light is settings on the right. As for how long this washer will last I believe it can last 10 years with no breaking down and if anything breaks on it I think it would be super easy and cheap to fix because I looked on the inside and the mechanism looks super simple and I don’t think it would be hard to fix plus black and decker has professionals that will come out and fix it. It also depends on how you treat it too if over load it you’ll probably get less time out of it but if you load it so there’s less strain on the motor it should last a long time. I like how the clothes come out nice and dry after the spin cycle so if you don’t have a dryer it doesn’t take much to get them fully dry. I also like the drain hose because it drains fast without the hose moving or falling and the water goes down the sink drain with no problems, I can have a bunch of dishes in the sink and the water has no trouble draining or filling up the sink. Also keep in mind it’s filling from a sink so it’s best to let the washer fill up half way before you put the clothes in so the clothes don’t soak up the water at the beginning making the fill take a lot longer. Over all great buy im very happy I bought this machine if anything changes I’ll update my review but I definitely recommend this washer and I also recommend the Comfee brand washer and Comfee brand portable dishwasher, if you need a portable dishwasher the comfee brand is amazing I’ve had mine for 4 years it works like new every time I use it and it runs and drains using the sink as well.

Title: A little weird for bucket filling but works great once you get it down.
Review: So I specifically bought this to bucket fill… I live off grid and don’t have any water source to directly hook it to. I have also had the Japanese style ones where there’s a wash cycle on one side and a spin on the other and they’re AWFUL. This is much much better. I had seen a couple reviews stating that they bucket fill this one, but not much info about water usage doing that or how it works, so here’s what I’ve learned so far (please note, this is for the largest model offered):The system seems to be weight based. Given that it’s hooked up to nothing I can hear the intake pump running at the beginning of a cycle. This will continue until the unit has enough water in it, but how does it know? I played around a lot and decided it’s gotta be weight based, which correlates with the size of load you’re running. So, I put my wash settings on “normal”, change the load size to small, add about 8 gallons of water + the drum 3/4 filled with clothes will get it to start. You’ll see the time for the wash drop from 37 minutes to 34 as soon as it’s got enough water. The cycle size you choose will affect how much water it wants, so I always choose “small” for size and this cuts down on how much water I use.The same thing happens on the rinse cycle. It drains the water from the wash cycle and wants another 8 gallons to do the rinse cycle. At this point it really depends what I’m washing if I choose to do this or not. I have a geriatric dog that makes a whole lot of laundry throughout the week, and for those items I don’t really worry about the rinse cycle. I’ll let the system run through the beginning of the rinse cycle where it is draining most of the wash water off, pause the program, turn the washer off and back on, and then put it on the “spin only” cycle. This cycle is automatically 27 minutes but I usually run it for about 10 and then stop it again. I use those little $3 Walmart micro fleece blankets for him and after 10 minutes in spin only they come out almost completely dry and smelling super fresh. I’ll hang them on a rack in front of a box fan and they’re bone dry within an hour. I also have a regular household pillow for him as a dog bed and that will spin out and dry super fast (2-3 hours) with the same method. This machine will hold two of the fleece blankets and the pillow at the same time, and get everything very clean on the normal cycle, small size.For my clothes I do want a rinse cycle so when the washer changes from wash to rinse I’ll let it drain the wash water, add another 8 gallons, and let the rinse cycle run. The main thing I listen for is if the inlet pump is trying to run. If it is, add more water. You’ll have to pause the system every time you’re adding more water or you’ll get an “E3” error, which just means the lid is open.So, all in all, it is kind of hands on if you’re a bucket filler. It uses between 8-16 gallons of water on small cycle depending on if you want to do a rinse cycle.Based on other reviews I was cautious to have the drain inlet at the proper height. I drain it to my bathroom sink and it works great. If it’s too low it won’t hold water, too high and the pump isn’t strong enough to drain. The drain hose has a nice moveable gooseneck on it and the power of the pump has yet to be so strong it kicks the gooseneck out of the sink, which has been my biggest fear.Despite the hands on nature of it, I really love it. It took me about a week of use, using it 2-3x a day to where I felt really comfortable not just standing over it staring and learning the sounds it’s making to know when it needs my attention. Living in a small space I can just attend to it while I’m doing other chores and it doesn’t feel like a pain. This may depend on how much you hate the laundromat or how much access you have to one. There’s only one laundromat nearby but this woman runs a wash and fold out of it and will tie up all the machines until about 3 pm, and then the rest of the community has a mad dash to try to get their stuff in so it feels like sometimes there’s a laundromat nearby, but it’s a huge source of stress to try to time my day around it’s availability.Other pros: it is really really quiet. I’ll run it at night while my s/o is sleeping and it doesn’t bother them at all. Whether you use the rinse cycle or not everything comes out smelling incredibly fresh. If you want to soak anything, just put it all in with water, soak as long as you want, then run the cycle as you see fit. Will definitely be keeping.

Title: Works very well
Review: I was in an apartment with no washing machine, and this was a lifesaver. I hated going up and down the stairs, dragging my laundry to the laundromat. It works very well. You have to make sure that you don’t overload it, but that’s with any washing machine. It cleans very well. It does fit quite a bit of laundry in each load, I hooked it up to my kitchen sink and it worked great. Very impressive. It does vibrate quite a bit so I did get a portable appliance cart with wheels and that helped a lot. If you live on a second floor, the people downstairs are probably going to hear it no matter what. I am very particular with appliances that say that they clean and I felt that the washing machine cleaned very well. If I did have some clothes that were a little bit more dirty than usual like my boyfriend’s construction work clothes I would let them soak overnight. I would do that with any washing machine. it fits quite a bit, but you are not going to fit a bed comforter in it… sheets yes.

Review: The machine can hold a significant amount of laundry for its size (15 pounds) - which is why I purchased this. It is notably good quality and smart looking so it does not look out of place outside of a closet, in the open, as pictured. That’s hard to find as most top loaders could not pull off a “nice looking” aesthetic. Spin cycle is great and leaves clothes very dry. It came with all necessary attachments to have this up and running in 5 minutes from opening the box. Well packaged and not a scratch on it when delivered (rurally, even). Really impressed with this machine so far! Would certainly recommend. If it holds up to time and usage I would recommend this machine based on specs as it currently outperforms anything in its size/weight capacity and I did a lot of research prior to purchase. Will update review if I note any unreasonable failures.

Review: Love this machine. Works well with little noise,, takes up little space, and can be installed two ways. You can use it as a portable and attach it to your sink or you can use it as a permanent machine by attaching the hot and cold water hoses into your laundry hook up. Definitely worth the price. Which also was great!!!!

Review: Purchased this compact washer for next summer when we set up our new RV. I am truly amazed by this small washer. It is currently set up in my laundry room at home. I use my home washer for larger loads and have used the Black and Decker compact for smaller loads to test it out. I am thrilled with it. Best decision to purchase it. I can pick it up easily although I decided to purchase a dolly for it. It is easy to move, easy to use, quiet and efficient. I will continue to use it over the winter for smaller loads. Word of advice to anyone buying….remember to not overload and use the right quantity of HE laundry soap. It is a wonderful machine so read the manufacturer’s instructions and don’t treat it like a full size machine. I love mine.

Review: Haré una reseña con funcionamiento o usos.Apenas la tengo por 3 días y ya la usé 7 veces. Eso sí, tardó casi un mes en enviarse (Amazon Internacional Standard) desde la fecha de compra. Aproximadamente 20 días. El envío sólo fue de 2 días.Las medidas de profundidad contando la manguera de desagüe es de 48cm, la medida de ancho con espacios laterales recomendados es de 45cm y la altura es de 78cm.Es decir, una ves que la abres y sacas de la caja, es muy bonita y da ternura por lo compacta. Pero esa es su ventaja.Las cargas habituales que realice fueron de :15 boxers talla M, o 5 a 7 playeras talla M o G, o 2 pantalones de mezclilla talla 32.No la llenes a más de 3/4 de ropa seca.Detergente se recomienda usar los que tienen el logo "he" high efficiency (alta eficiencia). En mi caso recomiendo el detergente mexicano "Newen" de venta también en Amazon. Ya que es biodegradable y concentrado (alcanza a lavar bien con una a tres cucharadas 10 a 30ml) en lugar de los detergentes comerciales que usas tapas de más de 100ml. Aún así en las instrucciones se recomienda usar la mitad de lo que dicen los envases.En cuanto a ruido, es muy silenciosa incluso durante el centrifugado.Respecto a las conexiones, los aditamentos con los que viene, fueron suficientes para conectarla a la llave del lavabo. Viene con dos gomitas dentro de la conexión rápida. Dependiendo si es para rosca interna o externa se pone o se quita el empaque superior.La manguera del desagüe, TIENE QUE ESTAR POR ENCIMA DEL NIVEL DE AGUA DE LA LAVADORA, es decir, si la dejas en el suelo, jamás se va a llenar.Tiene varios modos de lavado. Únicamente el modo Pesado (Heavy), Gentil (Gentle) y Remojar (Soak) te dejan modificar todos los parámetros de lavado. El modo Normal y Rápido sólo permite cambiar nivel de agua y número de enjuagues.El lavado (Wash) se puede seleccionar hasta 20min, se pueden seleccionar hasta tres enjuagues (Rinse) y hasta 9min de centrifugado (Spin). Cualquiera de estos tres parámetros se pueden omitir al dejarlos en 0.El modo rápido tarda 15min y el modo más tardado 88/90min.El atrapa pelusa en verdad funciona.No tengo ninguna queja al respecto. Si acaso el tiempo de envío y el costo que se paga por importación (va incluído en el precio).Si esta lavadora se vendiera en México costaría $1,200 pesos menos es decir entre $5,500 a $6,100 pesos. Que bien lo valen.En verdad recomiendo la lavadora.Como extra les recomiendo comprar un codo a 90° para la manguera de llenado y quede más cómoda la conexión en la lavadora.Haré actualización al mes o 3 meses, a ver qué tal va.Ha pasado un mes, y todo funciona perfectamente, igual que el primer día. El modo de lavado "Pesado" es mi favorito, el cual personalizo en cada lavada. Recomiendo usar jabón Persil.

Review: Absolutely thrilled…sorry I didn’t purchase this sooner…well made… easy to use washing machine and the Black and Decker Brand didn’t disappoint. I placed it on a cart and wheel it into my kitchen. A couple of tips the outtake hose I placed a nylon sock at the end to capture the lint…I also have a big stock pot filled with water to anchor the outtake hose through the handle which sits low into the kitchen sink…no worries about water damage…I’ve ordered the Black and Decker Dryer also. Apartment laundry room…Good Bye! Just to the nylon didn’t work as well as I thought so I purchased from Amazon metal mesh lint catchers that have plastic twist ties…works great!
