How much laundry does the 1.7 cu. ft. drum hold?

It is rated for about 11 lbs, roughly a small to medium load: a few days of clothes for one or two people. Bulky items like a queen comforter will not fit.

Does it need to be plumbed in?

No. It fills from a faucet with the included hose and drains into a sink or tub, so it works in apartments without a laundry hookup. You do need a nearby tap and drain.

How does an impeller washer differ from an agitator model?

An impeller moves clothes through a low, spinning disc instead of a tall central post. That leaves more room for laundry and is gentler on fabric, but it cleans heavy soil less aggressively.

Can it be stacked or built in?

It is listed as stackable and portable, but it is a top-load unit, so stacking means placing it under a compatible dryer or shelf rather than building it into cabinetry.

Is it Energy Star certified?

No. It does not carry Energy Star certification, so expect higher water and energy use per pound than a certified full-size washer.

What cycles does it have?

Normal, bulky, delicate, heavy and quick wash, plus spin-only and extra rinse options. There is also a pause option for adding forgotten items.
