Perfect size for a small apartment (the actual size of this washer is 16" x 17" x 31"). I was a little sceptical about buying a product with no reviews, plus the dimensions in the amazon product description are incorrect, but I did some research and decided for this model. So far it works amazing and I am happy with my purchase. Its very quiet, easy to hook up and use.
I do not know who gave less than 5 stars !!
This is absolutely the best washer ever. I think it is even better than my regular size miele washing machine.
If you hook it up to your faucet you can control water temperature. I have received it yesterday and already washed all my bath towels ( 3 each wash) cloth diapers( 30 hemp inserts) white load ( 7 adult tshirts, socks underwear and i could fit more)
No more going to laundromat!!! This washer will pay off in a month.
I do not care i will have to wash every other day!
Washer is quiet ( you can realy only hear pump pumping out water during the spin) not much noise. When I close my bathroom door i can hardly hear it.
Guys you will not regret! This is a little magic washer!

Update - 04/25/2018 Just a 3 month update and everything still working great! The washer did develop a very small leak between the fill valve and the outlet into the wash tub that would drip a small amount of water (1 teaspoon or so) during the filling process. Having a 1 year warranty I wasn't worried about a repair bill but knew it must be a simple fix and being handy I was able to remove the top of the washer and discovered the the tube between the solenoid and the water outlet wasn't sealed properly. A quick cleaning of the original adhesive and using some contact cement worked beautifully and no more leaking. Aside from that minor hiccup the washer has worked flawlessly. Very happy and highly recommend this unit. Still gets 5 stars from me.
Original review - I purchased this washer after living in my studio apartment for 5 years and having only a single shared community washer and dryer for 12 other units.
I used to have to wait until later in the evening to gain access to the wash room due to a wash addicted tenant who would do several loads about 5 days a week, and occasionally leaving her wash unattended overnight. I had no idea washers of this size even existed until I did some casual browsing here on Amazon one evening. Knowing I had a small unused area next to my bathroom sink of about 19" wide, I searched for options and was considering a dual tub countertop machine when I came across this Magic Chef unit. The dimensions would fit exactly where my available space was with about 1" on both sides and a couple inches from the rear. The small size is perfect for singles but might prove to be just slightly too small for 2 people unless you are ok with doing a couple loads to get everything done.
The unit is very quiet, including the wash cycle complete beep. No one seemed to describe it but it's definitely not something that might alert neighbors and less quiet than the beep a microwave makes when it's done. Although not recommended, I do have mine on a carpeted area and haven't noticed any vibration except one time when I think I overloaded the tub. I'm still learning how much to fit, but about 1/2 of the tub seems to be ideal which is a couple jeans or 5-6 t-shirts, etc.
Installation was a breeze which only involved removing the aerator from my bathroom faucet, and replacing it with the quick adapter, attaching the single water line to the washer and the other end to the quick adapter and tightening. I used a velcro strip I had laying around here to attach the drain hose to the water line and aimed it at the drain for the sink so it is aimed at the drain. You can use a zip tie or something else if you need a quick way to secure the drain line without using the "U" shaped hook.
I also purchased the small 1.5 cu ft. dryer

to go along with this unit and will write a more comprehensive review on that page but I did want to touch on it for a moment and say that I feel they really compliment each other since a full load in the washer is pretty close to the capacity of the dryer although the dryer does take a fair bit longer to dry a load than it takes the washer to complete a cycle (~30 minutes for the washer to 60-70 minutes for the dryer). You really can't go wrong with this combination if you have limited space and a lack of hookups.
Wow I’m surprised at how much this machine fits in one load and it does a great job! I read other reviews here before buying so I had to add mine. This is super efficient easy to set up and use and works really well. It exceeds my expectations. Photos showing dollies and sink lint strainer and other Magic Chef dryer all those items are sold here separately.
Just thought I'd share the comparison in sizes for the Magic Chef 0.9 and 2.0 cu. ft. washers and the 1.5 and 2.6 cu. ft. dryers. We like their small sizes, although the 2.0 cu. ft. washer is more of a compact size not a portable. This is perfect for us, but if you are looking for portable to move around alone, the 2.0 cu. ft. washer is a two person move. Remember to check for damages on the outside of the delivered box and take pictures before you open the box.

I have had both Haier washing machines and this one is so much better. I was worried with the small size but my queen blankets fit well. This lil machine spins like nobody's business to! I am so grateful to not be using the coin op machines in my building anymore. A Definite buy!
Works great only wish the hoses it came with were a little longer.
Love it! Great size for small loads. I added a Y connector to the water inlet to allow hot/cold. Just a little heads up...I was having problems with my hot water heater. I couldn't get hot water, just warm. I installed a new HWH and it still did the same thing. THEN I read online a comment from an apartment building owner that had a tenant that was having the same problem. The owner installed a new HWH but the tenant was still experiencing lukewarm water. Upon further investigation, the owner found an apartment size washing machine with a Y adapter on the inlet valve. Apparently, the water was running through the Y adapter before it moved through the water lines and the washer valve was mixing the hot and cold water before moving on. So I turned off the water supply to my washing machine and VIOLA I have all the hot water I need. So, if you experience this problem, just turn the water off at the valve.
I received my tiny washer and no joke it's small but don't let the size turn you away. I had 2 weeks worth of clothes to wash, i was hesitating to go down to the laundry mat. So i was able to wash everything! of course not in one shot and it took awhile to wash what i had but i did it! The heavy stuff is like the linens (towels, blankets, comforters) this is heavy and you can put maybe two blankets but be careful because it will move the washer a bit. So i'm happy with my choice and i believe you will be too. I hooked it up myself in the bathroom sink, and i'm constantly watching the water doesn't spill over. But it's all good! Now i'm thinking where can i put a dryer....
Quiet operation. Used it two nights in a row. First night one load at normal setting at 31 minutes. Second night two loads at rapid setting at 19 minutes each load. So far so good...
Update: It's been four months now. It is still working. Just make sure the load is even so that it wouldn't be making a huge noise while spinning. I forgot to mention that I'd purchased an extended warranty plan. It's all good. Beats going to the laundrymat and waiting...
