  1. Sunflower

    Clothes well cared for, clean, almost dry after spin
    Most everything dry after few hours; towels overnight

    Mine placed in laundry closet; replacing previous thin
    stacking laundry unit (110 electric dryer + washer)

    Highly recommend. Not to difficult to move, just tip and go using side handles.

    Fun to watch washing from clear top Even neighbors come watch.
    Joy for all

  2. HarlemLady

    I love my new washing machine. It fits nicely into a space in my kitchen it’s small machine but so efficient. it washes a nice size amount of clothes. The price was good for my pocket. I recommend this machine. I just love it

  3. Olivia

    I really like my washing machine. It was fairly easy to install although I paid someone to do it because I didn’t want to wait a month for Best Buy’s installation service. This machine washes the clothes good and fills up with the perfect amount of water for the different load sizes. The only cons (my reason for 4 stars) are that the inside is kind of small and I think there is a possibility that my washer had a previous owner due to a small dent in it upon arrival. One of the wash cycles doesn’t complete and if I select that specific cycle (34 minute wash) I have to restart the machine and select a different cycle (rinse & spin only) to complete it. It doesn’t bother me as I have figured out a way around it and there are plenty of other wash cycles to choose from that work fine. I think that was the reason the previous owner returned it thinking it was a dud when it’s actually a powerhouse. Overall I am pleased with this washing machine as it does exactly what I need it to do…wash my clothes well.

  4. RJNYC

    Terrible experience. Ordered “open box” for 30 bucks less, and got almost “open trash can” with dents and metal wrinkled so big that it’s embarrassing. The product itself is good, but customer service sucks.
    Now, when I want to return, there is no chance to do anything. I have to deliver it myself to the store which is not that easy in New York CIty. Thanks for a nightmare customer support.

  5. Bluebae

    So happy with it. Easy to use and store. Just buy a base with wheels so it’s much easier to move from storage area to the sink.

  6. tmax247

    Wonderful little washing machine. Spins close so well that they are almost dry when I take them out of the washer. Has a quick wash which is great for lighter clothes. On quick wash it actually fills, agitates, drains, spins and then fills again and agitates for the rinse. Your almost getting 2 wash cycles in 15 min., although the second agitation does not have soap.

    Love, Love, Love it.

  7. Tvgreat

    Washes great and the spin dry feels like it almost dries the clothes. Fits perfect in my small apartment. Quiet and even has a fast 15 min wash cycle. Fits a good amount of clothes.

  8. IRONFIST

    Cleans well. Yet, some detergents melt the surrounding plastic and tub ring. Do not use some dissolvable washer sheets. Like Fresh Fiji….

  9. Didar

    I got this during COVID, as I did not want to go to the shared laundry room. This was affordable to me and is a great help since.

    I was worried about the setup, but it was pretty straight forward actually. I did not have a wall-mounted hot/cold washing machine water line. So, I decided to go with the Sink-water inlet and draining. The washing machine comes up with the mountings that are necessary to attach the water inlet to the sink tap. But remember, in this method you can only use one water hose. So, the way I use it is to keep both hot water and cold water running on the tap and just have one water hose attach to the washing machine that supplies the mixed water. I hope this does not sound too complex. I have also attached an image to clarify.

    Moreover, the washing machine does an excellent job of cleaning the clothes along with rinsing them nicely. I mostly use the “extra rinse” feature though which in total makes the washing cycle about 65 minutes.

    For me, this is an excellent compact washing machine that I would highly recommend.

  10. tamaribu

    Great compact washer. Not really moveable, but super easy install. Does the job with plenty of features, low water and energy use. Happy camper!

  11. options

    controls are not flexible enough. performance is good so far. there should be more options for drain hookup. I had to rig a working substitution.

  12. km361

    I received this washing machine last week via shipping to home. I set up the machine using the instruction manual. It said to do a test wash where the setting has to be rinse/spin; I set it according to the instructions and pressed the start/pause button but nothing happened and it displayed E1. I did an actual wash with a large load displaying a timer of 44 minutes; first was wash setting and the water properly dispensed into the machine and washed the load but when it came time to rinse at 23 minutes it didn’t do anything and again displayed E1. I contacted Best Buy and Insignia (which just reroutes to Best Buy) and will get a replacement shipped/this one picked up but in the meantime if anyone has ideas as to how this could be fixed it would be great.

  13. mps8563

    DO NOT BUY ONLINE
    Just as many others have said, i even purchased an extended warranty just in case – mine arrived DENTED, DIRTY, and WET
    im a many year loyal best buy customer and this isnt what should happen, ever.

  14. Robert

    Great machine nice space saving easy to move around.

  15. DAMAGE

    Please do not buy this portable washing machine. The first thing I did before buying this product was I call and ask if I can wash a queen size blanket on this portable machine, they said yes, ok fine, i saw all youtube videos about the machine, fine, I saw people putting a decent amount of clothing, so decided to buy the product. When the machine the first thing i did was to put the blanket to wash, and the machine STOP working, so i have to take out the blankit out of the machine full of water, my aparment got floated by the water on the machine, i have to out the blanket on a plastic bag like garbage, after that, i decide to do another cycle to see if had such a bad luck and to prove that the machine stop working, and yes the machine didn’t worked.

  16. Yuyu

    good washing machine but got it dented ………………………..

  17. Will

    We needed an additional washer to wash baby clothes since we didn’t want to use our old one. This works wonderfully. We got geek squad protection just in case too.

  18. John

    We bought this about 10 months ago. I wanted to wait to see how it did before i wrote a review. So first thing first. It did come on time which was a plus. It came well packed, and came in perfect condition. I was a little skeptical at first from reading the reviews, but so glad we decided to order it. Its well worth the money and it works really well was very impressed. We would definitely recommend this washer. Very easy to use and install.

  19. donnahoney

    this item works great
    it looks like it was beaten with a crowbar.
    but it works.
    I would recommend if you want undamaged products to transport them yourself.
    this came ups and it looks like they damaged the outside body .

  20. Nice

    The machine is nice. It does not wash as I expected, it rotates to wash instead of agitation, I guess it’s something new.

  21. Viziobuyer

    Watches clothes well big machine for such a small load size tho

  22. 65Nana

    Perfect size for laundry room in my apt. Easy hookup. I’ll use any wash cycle and spin. The spin cycle cuts drying time.

  23. nchalreyhardtail

    Excellent washer . It does better than the big Roper washer I had. Efficient and options for washing ..

  24. DB87

    Great! Washes great and the clothes come out almost dried

  25. Saira

    Works really good and weighs light. Very emooth and washes more clothes than it looks.

  26. DeborahinOkemos

    I bought this washer earlier part of this year and I can’ t be more pleased with it. It washes my laundry beautifully. This was truly my best investment especially because of the low price!

  27. Rman

    I received it and it was heavily damaged. It was a real hassle to return it to a store.

  28. Fefe

    Great washer perfect for me and my husband. Its perfect for two people.

  29. Avidreader

    The water pumping function stopped working after a few weeks.

  30. Maria

    Excellent washer, easy to use for small apartments

  31. Tara

    I’ve had this washer for over a year and it is one great machine!! Washes great. Holds a lot. Stores nicely. I needed to make a dolly for it because the wheels weren’t that great but not a big deal. Definitely recommended

  32. bklove

    Best pandemic purchase to avoid going to laundromat in NYC. Great size for a tiny apartment.

  33. Nebra

    I’ve been using this washer in a vacation condo for two years and could not be more pleased. It actually washes clothes better than my full size home washer.
    It holds more laundry than I was expecting, such as complete queen sheet sets, or multiple shorts/shirts.
    I stubbed out hot/cold connections in the bathroom with quick disconnects (see photo), and it drains into the bathtub, so using it is a breeze.
    Using the existing casters didn’t work well, so I put it on a small wheeled platform that I bought on Amazon.

  34. Electrabeth

    Purchased for my sister. She likes it. It is small enough that she and I were able to move it into her house ourselves, but large enough that she can run laundry for her family of four.

  35. HorribleCompany

    Horrible, terrible life changing experience that has still not been resolved almost 3 years later.

  36. TechMe

    I got 8 months out of it. Best small washer around until it broke down.

  37. AbsolutelyPrefect

    Bought my grandson his first washing machine for his first apartment..this was perfect.he loves it..great product..works just like a large machine..it was definitely worth the money..

  38. Charlie

    Absolutely love it. I started doing smaller loads of laundry during covid to make sure my scrubs were not just sitting around the garage/ house. Energy efficient and soooo quick. Zero issues. It’s light weight and advertises as a small apartment/ rv washer because you can hook it up to your water source/ sink and let it drain in your kitchen or bathroom sink and tuck it away when you are done!!!!

  39. Teisha

    The Washer has stopped spinning and called the repair guy out to repair and he wants to charge $600 That is more than what I paid for the Machine

  40. Kassie

    This apartment From the washer was the best thing I’ve purchased

  41. aaaa

    Nothing works right on this, warranty will probably be too annoying to redeem since I don’t own a vehicle. At least the one main wash cycle works ok…

  42. Crystal

    This washer works great! Washes well and spins well. Great for an apartment.

  43. Moonchild

    It’s super small but definitely gets the job done!

  44. coco

    I’ve had my washer for less than two years. I have never written a review on a product before, let alone a negative one, but I am disappointed.

    I loved this machine, but it stopped working. An error code (E1) keeps popping up, preventing my clothing from going into the rinse cycle.

    I have read the user manual in full and talked with both customer service at Best Buy and Insignia. Their suggestions were to ensure the door is shut, the water was on, and try to turn the machine on and off, none of which worked. Neither company demonstrated technical knowledge of the machine, each suggesting to reach out to the other, which was frustrating.

    Because I am just outside of warranty, I would have to pay $99 minimum to have a technician check on my machine, nearly 1/3 of the original cost. It just doesn’t seem right that it would break before two years. I am happy to follow a guide and do it myself, but neither company has provided helpful resources. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know!

  45. Great

    Small but powerful piece of utility. Perfect for small places.

  46. Mita

    I’ve had this washer for 3 years or so and it has been amazing. I’m sad to see that it is no longer being made because I can’t imagine a more perfect washer for tiny places like our duplex. It washes like any other washer but its compact so fits less clothing which is exactly what we needed. It is also pretty.

  47. Texans

    Terrible portable washer I would not recommend anyone paying money for this pile of junk.

  48. Becky

    I have had this washer for 2 years and I truly love it. It suits all my needs and I’m so glad I purchased this one over others that I was considering.

  49. MichelleM

    This has been amazing, bought overt 3 years ago and still working great. I live in an apartment without hookups. This hooks nicely to the kitchen sink and i can adjust the water temperature with the sink. Holds a decent amount of clothes as well.

  50. WilsonD

    I will recommend this merchandis to all my friend because it’s really good
