Haier USA has portables on their web site. All "no longer available " I am inclined to think that they are branding their portables as GE's and raising the price by branding them GE. That is so deceptive. AT over $800.00.. A few stores are having sales now, at 749.00. Haier is just cashing in on an American Brand name. And I will be in need of a new machine to replace my 8 year old 1.6 Haier portable. I have been very happy with the small portable but it is just wearing out. And I don't want to invest any more money in it. Replaced the trans (under extended warranty) and just recently the pump. We are in end of life problems with the last 2 of our Min Pins and generating a lot of small blankets and cleaning rags. Hauling out the wringer for small loads is not efficient. and the Haier is getting very noisy over all. And 2.8 cf is a much more usable size tub. I know the Magic Chef is far less expensive at the 2.0 cu ft. I was waiting for the HTL (think that is correct) from Laundry Alternitive To see what capacity it will be. Any one know when that might be? (Thomas?}

Haier bought GE Appliances so I guess they are trying to expand the GE line (and upsell it) by branding their portables as it. | ||

A video !!!! Exciting
Thomas a video would be great.
I am willing to wait... I would be very interested in the fully automatic. I hope the machine I have now holds out till June. If that is when it may come out. Would be a super B-Day gift to myself. A full size Whirlpool or amana is around 3 cu ft. Correct? Or ??? I am not as educated on tub capacity as many here are. I just know I would like a machine that I can wash 5 hospital scrub sets at a time. large size with 5 under shirts large size and 5 sets of socks. A machine that can handle 3 Cal king sheets in 1 load. Do you think I would work for those loads? | ||

3 cuft minus agitator is about right I think. What will the spin speed of the fully automatic be like? | ||

Walmart stocks a RCA 3.0cuft version for 320$ I think. So that priceing is just insane, given these are basicly carbon copies of each other. For those prices, you can get compact FLs of simmilar capacity that even allow stacking afterwards... | ||

Guys, i'm getting ready to make the video to show you some of the HATL semi-automatic washer that is coming early 2019. Let me ask one thing... how many bath towels would put in a regular Whirlpool/kenmore/amana/roper/whatever brand, same washer with an agitator available on the market nowadays? Consider them all white and very dirty and you want them clean. average "cheap motel" towels. | ||

How much would you put in the Maytag super size tub? The new HATL can wash more than 8... Actually, 8 towels is nothing for it. LOL Video coming soon, maybe tomorrow if I have time... What about 12 bath towels? does it sound fair enough for a test? Maybe 15? IDK if I have 15 bath towels available, let's see... Anyway, I also have face towels, washcloths and bath mats. | ||

Drum size I guess to get better comparability to other solutions you should just list tub size in cuft as usual. Many brands tried to convince people by hideing true volume ratings and using EU like loading suggestions and all failed. If you can beat similar compacts by specs, you have won already. Once you get bigger retailers on board (Amazon, Walmart) you are basically set for the long-term. | ||
