Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'd been looking at this washer for the past 2-3 months. I really wanted it, but, I didn't have a reason to justify it. This week, I got my reason. Doing 1 load of laundry here in NYC is (minimum) $5 - NOT including the dryer. A lot of people who live in apartment buildings have washer/dryers in their basements. People like me, who live in a brownstone/town-house DON'T. The other problem is - is it legal? A lot of landlords pooh-pooh the idea of getting washer and/or dryers in tenants apartments, because of the extra electricity drain (a lot of older buildings here don't have the greatest wiring), and the water hook-ups (the electrical costsis estimated at $14/year, based on 8 loads week.That's good for me!). After studying the reviews - particularly the one from Witzkeyman "Louie Arrighi" - a fellow NYC'er, I felt that his enthusiastic thumbs-up (and wonderful video), I would 'take the plunge.' Even though I ordered it yesterday, and they said I'd have it delivered by this Tuesday, I was VERY pleasantly surprised this morning, when FedEx rang my bell, and ... delivered it. After learning the 'do-not's' here (particularly about installing the bottom plate correctly), I had the machine up & running within 10 minutes (not to put anyone down, but, I found that the people who did gripe - about putting on the plate the wrong way, etc. - would not have had these problems...if they just read the instructions, which, yes, I hate them too, but they were very easy and fast). I'm one ecstatic apartment dweller now. This machine does what people like me need it to do; it does the day's load. The sheets from the bed. The towels & such. It's NOT a machine to give it a week's worth of laundry, and that's a blessing - to me. I don't have to collect dirty laundry all week, I can have it done, and ready for wearing the next morning. When it's spinning the clothes out (jeans are a great clothing item to judge by) at the end of the cycle, it really, REALLY gets the water out - to the point that the clothes are only slightly damp, and not soaking wet. Since it's been a really hot summer here in Manhattan, it's a perfect time to put this machine through it's paces. Every other day (color/white alternate), I'll put a load in after I've had dinner. Within about 15 minutes, the machine's finished, and I hang the clothes up to dry. By morning, they're good-to-go. As I said, the reviews here on AMAZON are always very important to me, especially when I'm not familiar with the product. Besides Witzkeyman Louie Arrighi's helpful, informative video about the Haier (by the way - the name of the company is pronounced like 'higher,' NOT like 'hair.' If you ever see a commercial of theirs - overseas - they say 'dream, think, etc. Haier'), I also found Vlad from San Francisco's review helpful. I also took note of, because, while he had difficulties, he did say that AMAZON did try to help, and I strongly agree with those words. Another reviewer (name escapes me) addressed the drying question. He said that the clothes were so slightly damp, he'd dry them on a rack or a line. Saves money, and helps prevent wear on the clothing. He was 100% spot-on. To all of you, I owe you a thanks for your advice. In conclusion - I had a Haier air conditioner at my previous address, and got a new one when I moved here (see my review on that), and having had terrific experiences with Haier, and putting them through tough work, I was doubly-sure the Haier HLP21N Pulsator...Portable Washer would also make me happy. And it has.
