We report details of the apparatus and the experimental procedure leading to production of the Bose-Einstein condensate of ^{87}Rb atoms. Basic hydrodynamic properties of the condensate, like quadrupole oscillations and free fall expansion, are investigated. They provide also characteristics of the magnetic trap crucial for interpretation of future experiments.
