Or..... The only "non automatic" machine I would consider is a vintage "Meister", that H-axis countertop washer/dryer. Then i'd buy a separate spin dryer. I always wanted to have one of those just because they're cute. And it would fit my needs at the moment. | ||

haier for me I'd take that Haier if I was in a similar situation-seems it is actually a pretty good mini washer that does a good wash job,some people on here that have used that machine have spoken highly of it :) | ||

Look at Panda twintubs. Both include shipping from Amazon or Ebay within the same price range as those two. Both have powerful spinners; a towel can dry completely at room temp while you sleep.
Simple plastic machines, little to go wrong. Each function (agitate/pump/spin) has its own motor; no 'transmission'. So light even a feeble geezer like me can pick them up. They do a splendid job. They are fully manual except for clockwork timers on agi and spin. I have the larger one, XPB-45. It will hold an entire queen bed set at once. But loaded that heavy, best to agi for short times between long soaks. And spin half the load at a time. Both should be lighter than the two you're looking at so the manager shouldn't have a problem. | ||

Haier 1.0 A Great choice
Haier 1.0 Used this washer for 2 years until I overloaded it a killed the transmission. I reviewed all larger portable washers and the Haier is highest rated. I have a 6 year old Haier 1.5 still going. Control panel is reluctant at times.
The 1.0 will spin clothes nearly dry. So they hang dry quickly. Rca the reviews I read are not so good. Having not used it I can't say much about it. And The haier is small. and quiet. And cleans really well lint bag does a great job. | ||

Tom....most all of these machines are built the same, with the same features, some have the impellor, and some have an agitator.......powerful little units that adjust to the load....full water wash and rinses....
if you could consider going a few dollars higher, check out this larger model, great capacity, for now and the future..... lint filter, softener dispenser, and detergent dispenser.... the 'air dry' feature that will spin a load at speeds up to 800rpm, for a time frame up to 90 minutes, clothes will come out almost dry..... just a thought....

Yes it has a lint catcher and very light
The one I had had a nylon bag for a filter and it clips into a port in the side. also worked super.
The 1.0 haier spins I think at 700 rpm. however my 1.5 spins about the same sorry can't find the specs. The lint filter in the 1.5 is a clip in style. and also works super. I found both these machines function great and are quiet. I only went to the wringer because A. Cool factor. B It can manage 3 king size sheets. Faster laundry day. and I enjoy being involved in my laundry. At least I don't feel weird saying that here. LOL. The 1.5 can only handle 2 sheets. And the 1.0 1 at a time. | ||

Craigslist If your in a large city
I am sure in a large city craigslist is an excellent option. The Haiers are a no bells or whistle machine.
1.5 has bleach dispenser Usless. 1.0 I don't think it does. And no Fabric softner dispenser. They are good machines. Shoot in your situation (if it's temporary) the bucket and plunger method with a laundry spinner would work and a spinner is less expensive than a washer. I don't know if you ever checked out the bucket and plunger method on U-Tube. Really redneck but it works. I know I've used it. | ||

Yogi, I love you! THanks for suggesting that other model... The price difference is minimal and it's a little bigger and with much more cycle options. Silly question, it has one or two water inlets? Does it come with the sink adapter to use only the cold fill and use the sink faucet to select the temperature? | ||

not exactly clear in the ad.....
but in the reviews, the customers state all parts are included to hook right up to your sink.... there are a hot and cold hoses, and should be a port cap for the hot side if using as a portable.....faucet adapter and drain hose included..... the only thing that may be an issue is if you have an odd style faucet......I even hooked mine up through the shower hose you should have it up and running within 15 minutes after getting it.... keep us posted.... | ||

Here at the hotel the faucet connects to one of those connectors because i already use the eco-egg. I know it will be quite easy to install it. I'm going to buy it as soon as I deposit the paycheck I got tonight. | ||

Machines with dispensers
My Haier 1.5 has the bleach dispenser and it doesn't release all the bleach in the load so I had tie dyed clothes next load, NOT HAPPY so I add bleach to the wash water, so it rinses out completely..
MY POINT IS the extras are great but these machines have not been around long and possibly all the extras don't work as they would in a normal machine. Find the brand with a multitude of reviews and make a choice off of that. Bells and whistles are great but if they don't work properly????? it is time consuming and a pain. But worth the effort. Older the production of a brand the more information you can be sure of. | ||
