Great product for the price
I've been using the HLP21E for the last month and it's been working great. You just need to make sure that you don't overload the machine. I recommend it for anyone looking for an easy alternative lightweight machine.

Great mini washer for apartment
I read a lot of reviews from different sites about this product. There are some reviews saying it is hard to install so I didn't make my decision until this July. I got this machine from Amazon a few days ago. I read the instruction carefully before installed. The instruction and the product indicated how to place the plate correctly onto the bottom. This machine is perfect for 2 persons. The clothes dry easily because the spin is strong enough. The machine is not very noisy, and understand it should have some kind of sound when it washes or spin. I used the box which came with this machine to cover it because I don't want my apartment manager knows, and it help a little bit on the sound.
I lived at the 3rd floor and my apartment doesn't have laundry. It saved my life a lot.
At the beginning, I thought that it would deliver by UPS but it was not. I tracked the package everyday to make sure I have someone standby to receive the package because it is a heavy case, over 60 lbs., I didn't want it returned. When I tracked the package was arrived the city, the shipping company will call or email you to contact them to arrange the delivery, I was so happy with it.

Lifesaver for apartment dweller!
I love this machine. I got it a few weeks ago and I have not been sorry. It's small and compact, I keep it in my small apt kitchen!. It's easy to move (I'm not strong). I save on laundry-there are 2 of us and I do all the light (in weight) items (4 loads/week) in the machine and send things like blankets and jeans to the laundry. But what a savings on my laundry bill! Not that it doesn't wash jeans or heavy items (I have washed them and they come out fine but I don't have the room to hang up so much laundry to dry).
If you have limited space, don't hesitate to get this washer. You won't be sorry!

Amazing washing machine!
This is bar none the best washer! Everything is included to simply hook it to almost any kitchen type tap, You don't need to run to the hardware store for an adapter (there is a washer to remove if it the inside thread). Ok from some of the reviews I see people can't read an owners manual, or are talking about an older modle. Read the Owners Manual then assemble the bottom plate, put in the almost idiot proof lint filter (it says Top,on the top and bottom on the bottom which is soooo easy to clean,and you must clean it every time.) level the machine adjusting the feet (you will need a level, I got a magnetic plastic one for 99 cents from the hardward store), and your ready to wash clothes. It's QUIET!!! very Quiet. You should use the HE laundry soap. It will nicely and quietly wash a set of full sized cotton sheets, including the two pillow cases, I have washed two pairs of heavy Jeans in it. I do a wash every other day. The controlls are so easy, and check this out you loose power and machine remember were it was in the cycle you just press the start button it takes off where it left off. It dings when it's done but does so quietly,if you leave the top up after putting in the clothes and soap it dings at the start of the wash cycle, to remind you to put the cover down. I can't even think of any thing negative to comment on. OH and the stainless steel basket is a HUGE plus if you live with hard water. One of the BEST features is whe the clothes come out of the machine they are dryer then any full sized I have used! This is a wonderful product, some of the negative responces are from people that either try to overload it or put in too much soap. I have used regular soap, but using less than a 1/4 cap full. With the price of gas and the cost to go to the laundrymat, This machine will save you a lot of money in a short time. It's Quiet!, does a great job of washing clothes! If you fear your landlord might not like you using this, you take the box it comes in spraypaint it white make a nice cover to hide it under. Save the packing material and when you move it's covert moving into your next apartment..lol

great little machine!
this little washer is excellent!
i checked reviews on several machines before buying this one. wanted the washer/dryer combo from thor, but there seem to be numerous mechanical problems. especially surprising considering the price. also looked at the little "wonder washer" mini portable washer and rejected it for the same reason. it's apparently cheaply made, doesn't work well and got more bad reviews than good.
the haier reviews made me a little nervous, too, until i noticed that all the bad ones said the same thing. it leaks if connections are not tight enough, it makes a horrible sound if the plate is put on upside down, and it mustn't be over-loaded or have too much detergent put in. all of this amounted to consumer error. i really needed the washer and decided to take a chance. it's one of the best decisions i ever made. the only problem i had was with installing the plate. as everyone has mentioned, the holes don't match and the screws are too large. i remedied this by very gently enlarging the holes on the bottom of the machine with an ice pick, being careful not to damage any working parts. got the machine running soon and i've been using it several times a week since it arrived two months ago.
one other thing. in reference to the metal plate being improperly installed, there were comments about instructions not being clear. something may have changed since those reviews were written because the instruction book i have is quite explicit, and the plate is clearly marked. the directions are actually pressed into the metal. there is no way i would have put it on wrong. either people were ignoring this or (more likely, i think)haier took note of the problem and did something about it.
anyway, if you're in need of a washer and short on space, do get one of these. it's well worth the money.
my sincere thanks to everone who wrote reviews, good and bad. you were all instrumental in helping me make this choice.
