I have this exact machine, bought it from Walmart website in August 2010. This machine has never leaked, I have not had one issue with this Haier washer. I think you will be pleased for a long time with this machine. Thanks for the plumbing tip.
Thank you for the excellent review. There is nothing better than hearing from a satisfied user. It gives me confidence my Haier will serve me well for many years. Much appreciated. -Dennis
This review is amazing! I got this washer as a gift recently and I have no manual or anything to even.know how to start. Thank you for the detailed and common sense review
hi dennis!!! i found your video when i searched for "how to hook portable washer to shower" and it led me to you! this was AMAZING and so helpful and made setup a breeze!! thank you so much for including the ASINs as well explaining in depth how each piece functioned. thank you 💗💗💗
I have the next larger size of Haier washer and I LOVE it! You did a very detailed explanation of the setup and workings of this machine. Thank you for that. Some people have bragged about the Panda double-tub machine. I don’t know why anyone would choose that time-consumer over this automatic machine except for the price. My opinion is for you to save your money and choose this automatic model instead. You put your clothes in and walk away. In about an hour, you come back to perfectly clean and almost dry clothes. It’s worth the extra cost.
Thanks for such a detailed review! I'd also like to suggest that you use a lint trap on the drain hose. You can buy it at your local hardware store, or use nylon stockings, and tie it to the end of the drain hose. This keeps the clothes' lint from clogging your drain. 😀
I actually came up with a better way. I read somewhere that vegetation likes "gray water" that comes from a washer because of the phosphorous and nitrogen in the detergents. If not done too much in one place, plants do as well as if irrigated with clean water. So I capture the drain water and pour it in different areas of my yard.
Sounds good! I just got my machine yesterday (yay!) and I'm having a hard time screwing on the metal plate. Did you use a manual screwdriver or a power drill for this? Also, do you recommend using WD-40 to help the screws go through the holes easier?
I used a standard philips screwdriver. They're sheet metal screws that will cut their own way through; so it does require a little more effort. I wouldn't use a lubricant like WD-40 because if they're lubed they might loosen from vibration when the machine is working. I hope that helps. -Dennis
WOW. You REALLY went into detail! I've had a few machines (that didn't have wheels) so I placed it on a $13 *dolly* bought off eBay that I simply rolled into my kitchen & hooked up to the sink when needed then rolled it into my dining room corner when I didn't. Many times ppl sell their used one's on Craigslist, Offer Up or FB Marketplace for $150 or less. Ppl have sold them (for as little as) *$25* bux! They are GREAT to have because it sure as hell saves you time, aggravation & money having to lug clothes to the laundromat then sit there until they are done! Thanks for the video!😁✔️
Portable washing machines are fantastic devices. I lived without one for 25 years and I could just kick myself for waiting so long. Mine is so convenient. Thanks for commenting. -Dennis
wow! this is impressive! I always learn so much watching your videos. Today I learned about plumbing stuff which I’ve never known about. You are such a gem! As usual, excellent job!
I am so happy for you Dennis and thank you for the link, I think I will look into this I live in an apartment and do my laundry at the complexes laundry which is a small fortune. May God contune to Bless You.
I purchased mine 1 week ago and have not looked back since. IM REALLY LOVING THE HAIER PULSATOR! Thx for the added hookup info. Will be buying those as well lol thx! 👍👍
Dennis! You are amazing! I just followed your step-by-step instructions using everything you showed in the video. It worked beautifully!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! This is the best tutorial on this topic out there!!! :)
That looks like a great setup Dennis. Glad your new washer arrived in good condition and didn't look as if it had been dropoped from and airplane as did the thule carrier!
Thanks Mea. I can't imagine people enjoying laundry day, but I am very pleased with this washer. It's a pleasure to use (compared to hand-washing in a five gallon bucket). -Dennis
I have this machine arriving this coming Friday. Thanks for a great tutorial in terms of how to put it together and how to use it. I will go over the instruction booklet thoroughly but I feel I have the basics down already!! Cheers!!
Dennis, I am kinda feeling sorry for you. You said 10 years washing laundry by hand! Here I have been going to the laundry mat, and complaining the whole time, I hate the laundry mat. I thought since you live in a double wide you have full size washer and dryer hooked up. Dennis, now I am so glad for you. I really hope this washing machine serves you well.
Thank you Jody. Yes, I live in a double-wide, but it doesn't have hookups for washer dryer (and the single-wides around me have them). I guess that was a choice of the original owner. The new portable washer has been working well. I'll never complain about doing laundry again. I'm very happy. -Dennis
Excellent excellent video, thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. Your tips will help me greatly. Your voice is so nice, calm and friendly I only have one little complaint, i wish you showed a full load of laundry. Im trying to decide between a .9 cu, 1.6cu or 2.0. It just for just one adult but it would be nice to see how many say, pairs of jeans can you add in one load comfortably with it being still wash, rinse and drain property without over loading. I also have queen size sheets and double sized fluffy like blanket. The kind you see sometimes on the back of a sofa.
Thanks for the positive feedback. As for size, I was limited by the size of the doorway the machine needed to fit through to wheel it into the bathroom where the hookups are. My machine can easily handle two thick pairs to jeans or four shirts at the large load setting. I hope that helps. -Dennis
These are available through the Sams club website! And if you are a plus member its FREE shipping, even for ALASKA! Which is great since I couldn’t find anyone else who would ship here. I just ordered mine last night, total cost $239. Im a happy girl.
Congratulations on choosing an excellent washer. I used mine again today. Three loads of laundry. I really like this machine. I feel confident you'll enjoy yours too. -Dennis
Haier makes some good quality appliances, I have 4 Haier roll around window air conditioners, they work quite well. I have one of the Haier A/C units in my basement as a dehumidifier. Haier A/C units have a dehumidifier setting, I run the drain hose in to my sump pit.
Alas, I'm not an appliance repairman. I wish I could help, but the problem could be almost anything - a gasket, a hose, the pump. You might consider having a repairman look at it. -Dennis
No studio lighting in the bathroom.... appalling... the nerve of some people! LOL Did seem strange seeing you outside the kitchen, kind of like when you see people in street clothes the first time. Very nice machine and what a joy it will be not to wash manually. On a cheap note, have been making my own laundry soap for over a decade - much better than detergents in every way. If memory serves it costs me a penny or so a load. There is a liquid version you can make as well.
And I didn't do a white balance either. I must be slipping. I looked into the idea of homemade laundry soap. It seems easy enough. I might try it. Thanks Jake. -Dennis
It's awesome to me too. I told a friend at lunch today how pleased I was that a mini-washer performed as well as a full-sized washer. It's a great little appliance. Thanks for giving me the word "awesome." I hadn't thought of that yet. Much appreciated. -Dennis
Great Video. I have a 24 ft travel trailer i want a wash machine but afraid of leaks so I googled hooking up wash machine in shower and found you. They no longer make your machine. Do you have another brand model you recommend? Thank you M:
I only own the one machine; so I don't know about the others. My consideration was size. Measure the door width and the space where you want to use it and store it. Buy one that would fit. Also, some don't come with casters, but you might be able to buy them separately. I hope that helps.
Directions on machine I’m looking at said machine must be transported upright and yet you’ve laid it on its side so is there a reason they say this or can I lay it to transport from the store?? Any thoughts ?? Thanks
You need to lay it on its side to put the casters and the bottom plate on. You'd probably be okay putting it on its side for a trip home from the store. I think "upright" is important if other boxes are stacked on top.
Once you ordered all the extra parts how did you hook the original hose up to those new parts? I bought those exact same extra parts you show. But the end does not fit the original hose that came with the machine. I have the exact same washer too.
Hi Randi. The brass insert that goes into the quick coupling fit into the gray end of the water supply hose, as shown in the video at 9 minutes 45 seconds. Everything fit together exactly as it should.
I have this exact machine, bought it from Walmart website in August 2010. This machine has never leaked, I have not had one issue with this Haier washer. I think you will be pleased for a long time with this machine. Thanks for the plumbing tip.

Looks like I'll have to use some good ol' fashioned elbow grease! Thanks!
Great idea with the vacuum cleaner tubes. Cool beans. Thanks.

The fittings you listed were crucial!
I used my Della automatic washing machine for the first time and very satisfied with the results.
Portable washing machines are fantastic devices. I lived without one for 25 years and I could just kick myself for waiting so long. Mine is so convenient. Thanks for commenting. -Dennis
wow! this is impressive! I always learn so much watching your videos. Today I learned about plumbing stuff which I’ve never known about. You are such a gem! As usual, excellent job!
Thanks Nancy. I'm glad I can offer more than cooking videos. -Dennis

Very good video. Full of lots of information. This same manufacturer is the one that bought out all of the GE appliance division a few years ago,
That looks like a great setup Dennis. Glad your new washer arrived in good condition and didn't look as if it had been dropoped from and airplane as did the thule carrier!
Thanks Mea. I can't imagine people enjoying laundry day, but I am very pleased with this washer. It's a pleasure to use (compared to hand-washing in a five gallon bucket). -Dennis
Thank you for sharing your time with us. I do enjoy your vlogs.
Thank you for the feedback Cindy. I enjoy doing these vlogs and I appreciate knowing others enjoy them too. -Dennis
If your clothes are feeling still when air drying add fabric softener will work wonders
I have this machine arriving this coming Friday. Thanks for a great tutorial in terms of how to put it together and how to use it. I will go over the instruction booklet thoroughly but I feel I have the basics down already!! Cheers!!
Good demonstration, very precise. Thank you!

Omg. Great video. I watch a lot of them. Now I will get one. Do one on dryer

Thank you for detailed explanation

Thanks Mr Krasker. My Haier A/C has been working fine for many years. Hearing from you, I now feel even more confident in the Haier brand. -Dennis
Great explanation of connections for shower .thanks
Very nice video with great explanation.
You are excellent at making videos - thank you! Only thing missing is links to those adapters you used on Amazon
Great review!!!! Very professional and informative!!👍👏
Great video.
Just the right info I needed! Thank u very much for sharing!
Great review and information - thank you!
Thank you 😊
Very nifty device.
Thanks. So far it has been really useful. I'm surprised how well it works for such a compact appliance. Almost as useful as an Instant Pot. -Dennis
Your explanation finally solve my confusion. Very healful. Can you provide the link for buying all the parts that connects to the shower? Thanks
If you notice at the bottom of the video when he goes over the parts, he lists the amazon skus - so just type in the numbers after ASIN :)
Good idea, casters. All those fixturesoom like a hassle.. we'll see..
Thanks for this...I have an almost similar model...but it has started leaking from the bottom.What could be the reason?
Alas, I'm not an appliance repairman. I wish I could help, but the problem could be almost anything - a gasket, a hose, the pump. You might consider having a repairman look at it. -Dennis
excellent

You were so excited I would have been happy to have seen a grainy Polaroid :^)
Let me know if you have any questions on the soap.
Not sure why, but that's awesome! :)
It's awesome to me too. I told a friend at lunch today how pleased I was that a mini-washer performed as well as a full-sized washer. It's a great little appliance. Thanks for giving me the word "awesome." I hadn't thought of that yet. Much appreciated. -Dennis
I like you sir. Just subscribed. Thanks!

You need to lay it on its side to put the casters and the bottom plate on. You'd probably be okay putting it on its side for a trip home from the store. I think "upright" is important if other boxes are stacked on top.
Have you had any problems since you bought this? In a sense of having to replace any components?
There are no problems at all. Everything is working fine. I really like this washer. Thanks for the question. -Dennis
Does this use standard house power? I've watched a couple of these videos and no one ever mentioned about the power.
That's a good question Joyce. I wish I had thought of that when I did the video. Yes, it plugs into a standard outlet. -Dennis
Once you ordered all the extra parts how did you hook the original hose up to those new parts? I bought those exact same extra parts you show. But the end does not fit the original hose that came with the machine. I have the exact same washer too.
Hi Randi.
The brass insert that goes into the quick coupling fit into the gray end of the water supply hose, as shown in the video at 9 minutes 45 seconds. Everything fit together exactly as it should.
Mobile Home Gourmet ASMR ok thanks. I think it's just the sink adapter is stuck in the grey part. I bought it used.
Did the castors come with it or did you buy them separately ?
The casters came with it.
Can you wash a comforter or sheets or a coat on a high water level?
If they're from a king size bed, probably not, although the sheets might be washed separately. A heavy winter coat might be too large.
Ok thanks for the review. 👍
Do you keep the water running the whole time?
Yes, you leave the water on. The machine has its own valves for filling itself when needed. It's nicely automatic. -Dennis
Oops, that should read "dropped from an airplane". Forgot to check my typing!
I cant find a adapter to fit my sink?? ☹
kyvonna smith ,you can fill it with an pile until you found the adapted.
My old machine will not drain and rinse ! Anyone ever have this problem?
