Really quie I had a larger version of this model but it wouldn’t fit in my new home so got this smaller model.
I have not been disappointed – it’s quiet, reliable and so easy to use.
Would definitely recommend this brand
Looks amazing Really happy with my purchase, it looks amazing and easy to use. Paid extra for Amazon to install and take away our old one which I’d highly recommend!
The only thing I’d say is that when a cycle has ended it doesn’t beep or make a noise to say its ready, minor negative but not a reason to avoid purchase!
So far so good. Very quiet machine. Wash programmes are great. Only tried the drier twice and it was good for a small load like underwear and socks. I tried towels and it would have taken hours. Great machine so fa
Best washer dryer I have every had. I love my new washer dryer. So worth the money. Dryer does not take long at all. Most washer dryer take for every to dry not this one 100% recommend. Looks amazing and all touch screen. Very good warranty.
Quick wash and strong dryer that’s all I ask fo Been looking for washer dryer that can actually dry up completely, this one does it.
And there’s 15mins quick wash.
Really that’s all I ask for with this price
Great quiet machine Needed a smaller depth washing machine/dryer to go into a cupboard. This perfectly fit the bill, but be aware that the size quoted isn’t the actual(add approx 80mmto include door and hisesat rear.) The machine is easy to use and extremely quiet. Unable to comment on energy efficiency as still to early into owning it. I would certainly recommend on noise reduction alone
Really Happy with this machine I am really happy with this machine, it is super quiet and carries out a really good wash – maybe due to the extra large drum size.
Lots of features that are actually useful! and it is really quite.
All in all I would highly recommend this machine.
A very decent, slim and quiet Washer Drye Bought this to replace my old Bosch VWF2401 that I had for over twenty odd years. Glad I purchased the 8kg ‘HWD80’ Model, as any thicker would’ve been a problem to get through the narrow doors I have. Definitely a tad deeper than the 46cm stated in the product dimensions by at least 4cm.
All in all extremely impressed with this Washer-Dryer. Drum Noise is almost silent until its doing a heavy spin. Most of the noise appears to be from vibration in where it’s situated, so may even be a bit quieter once I use the sticky muffling pads provided. Speaking of the drum, the size is huge compared to my old one, more than enough to accommodate the weekly wash of a small family, let alone me on my own!
Dryer also dries the capacity as it should, I half loaded the drum and it had no problems on the Smart Wash/Dry getting my bedding dried. The dryer itself isn’t too loud either, can barely hear it from the next room. The interior light for the drum is also very helpful in loading and unloading, especially in low light conditions.
The Cycles are all of variable lengths, and all settings like Temperature, Spin and Dry Time can be changed. It is also possible to completely customise a cycle to whatever you are washing so you can really get what you want out of a cycle.
My only complaint; the touch screen buttons. It can be a bit temperamental and fidgety. Might be my big sausage fingers but it always seems to lack any responsiveness without pressing hard on it. Would’ve been nice also to have had some functionality to connect it to WiFi and run cycles from an app like some other brands have, but that’s not a feature I’m overtly worried about.
Decent Machine. Worked Well for last 2 months Bought this on 26-Nov-2022 and was delivered on 02-Dec-2022. I started using it from 15-Feb-2023 only.
Machine looks good and works well. Not noisy except when its running in SPIN-DRY mode.
I was afraid that the dryer function may not be good as in the past I have noticed that washer-dryers are not very effective and people still install a separate dryer. However, this machine does a very good job of drying clothes.
With 2 weeks of usage, as of now, I am happy with this product.
Amazing washing machine First time getting a haeir washing machine. Have to say I’m really impressed so far with it. Functions are great and like the smart WiFi feature as well which gives you options for checking how long is left on a wash to being able to remote select your wash when say for example your on your way back home and you wanted the washing done when your back.
Only issue I had was the home install by Amazon home team as the guys didn’t connect the pipes properly resulting in the kitchen flooding. Would have installed the thing myself but I was away from home with work for a few days and my wife was at home and the machine we had broke down so we needed this one up and running.
But Amazon had compensated us for the damage so grateful for that.
Great machine but poor instructions and some missing features Great machine but poor instructions and some missing features. For example, there is no way to stop it when drying. With a dryer you would expect you could press a button to stop it any time, or even just open the door and see how dry they are to decide if you want to leave them in or not. But with this machine there is no stop button and the door is locked !!! You literally have to turn the machine off then reset it to get it to unlock the door.
Great machine, short hoses We couldn’t use it straight away because the drain hose is unusually short, so I had to buy an extension from a local shop. However the performance more than makes up for that! Our old 7kg Beko machine was so much louder, when the Haier is running almost all the sound is from the clothes tumbling. No residual odours even on items that previously didn’t smell very good. Several people in the house has sensitive skin so we make use of the extra rinse function – you can keep pressing the button for 1, 2 or 3 additional rinses. All in all I’m very happy with this machine.
So Quie Great machine so much quieter than our old one, very easy to use. Just make sure to level it correctly, slight adjustment while it was spinning helped find perfect level to reduce noise and vibration. My only negative is the sheer weight and sticky rubber feet made it really hard to slide into place and did leave black marks on the kitchen floor, which come off after a bit of scrubbing.
Quiet machine Been using it for a few weeks and it is very quiet and is easily the most stable machine we have ever had – no jumping and banging about the kitchen floor. It replaced a similar LG direct drive motor machine we had used for about 8 years and seems a fitting replacement.
Good Was apprehensive on the washer drier thing. Space saved was the deciding factor plus the Black Friday price trigger.
Glad we bought the 10 kg version as it lives in a cupboard upstairs and it’s with plenty of space about it. It sits on one of those vibration mats, 6 from a diy place. Same as a normal washer no extra things to worry about. Drains washing and drying down the pipe. The lint tray seems to be around the door and this is then washed down the drain on next wash. The same little door on front for the penny trap. I’m not sure how it keeps the condenser clean as I was always cleaning out the wet lint from the condenser on my stand alone condenser tumble drier unit.
I drain the penny trap filter every couple of weeks after I’ve finished just to eliminate any smells. Never found a penny either.
Performance. The menus take some getting used to. I stick to cotton then select speed, 1400 presently, then temp 40-60 depending on clothes. That’s it, when finished I take out the stuff I don’t want tumbled then shake the other stuff about a bit, place in my woolen drying ball things and stick it on 1 hour. I also remove the powder tray when drying and have it removed when the machine is idle any how.
I notice that when I start the drying function the machine uses some water. The clothes come out dry enough it still get stuck on the airer over night. I don’t like drying things crispy. Cuts down upon moisture in the home until I can dry outside again.
I’ve used gel pods, powder, liquid all seem good. I’ve used soda crystals, white vinegar and dettol stuff, all seem good. I’ve used tumble dry sheet and those woolen ball things, all seems good.
I don’t use the fabric softer liquid stuff.
Noise. It is quiet. Washing is loudest when it’s getting up to 1400 rpm, once there it’s fairly quiet. Drying is very quiet. I keep the cupboard door shut on washing but not drying.
Finally, it does look nice but more importantly it washes well and saves space. Quieter than my old separate machines. Doesn’t seem as robust, with more to go wrong, as it does more jobs but time will tell.
If it lasts at this current performance then I’m very pleased.
So quie This machine is ridiculously quiet. I bought it as a Which? Best Buy for efficiency etc. but I hadn’t anticipated how quiet it would be, which is my favourite feature.
It’s quite shallow, but with a larger drum to make up for it. Relatively simple to use with a combination of a dial and touch sensitive area.
It looks great too.
I can’t find any negatives so far, and I’ve been using it for a few months.
Very pleased indeed Our previous washer of this make lasted nearly 15 years so we hope this will be as good. It’s very easy to use, mind I must confess we were apprehensive the first time,as this has a lot more programmes.
The washing has come out beautifully clean with less moisture than our previous one.
I haven’t tried the dryer as yet so can’t comment will just make sure I follow instructions, as this one offers more than my previous.
The big drum I like as it gives me the opportunity of doing a big wash instead of several which saves time and power.
Overall I am very pleased up to now only had it two weeks.
I would also like to complement on the two men who delivered and fitted. They were very friendly pleasant, respectful and did a great job, they also made sure the washer was working OK before leaving.
Great washing machine This is a great buy
Pros
Very quiet when in use
Switches off after cycle is completed
Cons
Black door, so difficult to see washing when in use or when washing completed, so forget that washing is in it and needs to be taken ou
A lot of technically advanced functions for the price Compared to my last washing machine, this gives outstanding washing results. You can customise all 14 preset programs, add up to 3 extra rinses, and adjust the spin speed from 400 to 1400. Change the temperature from 0 to 90c and set wether your clothes are soiled with blood, grass, wine, juice, milk or mud. You can set the time for when you want the machine to start or end. As for the tumble dryer, i was equally impressed with the results. I can’t believe how well it dries the clothes, without being harsh on the fabric. Again, you can adjust all the settings on that, or let it do it’s own thing. Either way, the results are impressive. I have found a little trick to speed up the drying process, and that is, open the detergent draw whilst drying. This lets out a lot of the condensation, thus, cutting down the drying time considerably. You don’t need to keep checking on the clothes either, as it has all the relevant sensors built to take care of that. My machine is situated on floorboards, which isn’t ideal. It’s naturally going to generate more sound pollution this way, as to installing the machine on a solid concrete floor. Build quality of the machine is above average. It also has a light inside the drum. Now if you’re not used to having a light inside the drum, you actually wonder how you ever lived without one. This little light makes loading and unloading the machine somehow easier. It makes a mundane job enjoyable. The front panel is mainly touch sensitive which i prefer. This allows you to have more control over the machine. To top off my review, this machine also comes with a 2 year labor guarantee, and a 10 year parts guarantee. I mention this because i think that Haiers previous models weren’t without there problems. And when they did go wrong, which I found out through vigorous research, they went wrong mainly after a few washes into their life, leaving their customers totally in the dark. I am pretty sure that they have been forced to sort all these issues out, otherwise companies like Amazon would end up refusing to sell Haier products. When buying any new appliances, or anything electrical, i have always exhausted every avenue when it comes to research. I want to be sure that I’m not just buying something because it either looks good, or some salesman says its good, or because of the make. You would be surprised how many white goods manufactures are made in the same factory, using the same components, with the only difference being the badge on the front of the appliance, and maybe a few minor cosmetic changes, but with a substantial difference in the price, that’s the truth of it , that’s the world we live in today. To anyone looking at buying this product, i would say that you can purchase this product with confidence. Enjoy.
Quiet, cleans well, looks amazing😍 Feels like a quality made product- German brand. I did my research and reviews and went for this over the more well known brands. I installed it myself, and it worked straight awayphew!
Tried short cycle, wash and dry cycle, which was long but was drying as well. It works out the weight and how long it needs accordingly. So far really happy. It also just looks really great in my kitchen! I even bought the fridge freezer of same brand and LOVE THAT TOO!
Not what was anticipated Nice looking machine however it is being returned for a refund as there appears to be a design fault with the drier. Within the first year had to call 4 times for an engineer as the FD error kept showing, indicating a problem with the drying cycle. Sending it back and will be getting a Samsung instead. On a hood note the Haier customer service is very good, when I called they were very helpful. Also I did not have to beg or barter with Amazon for a refund and was easily helped by amazon to arrange a collection.
So far was amazing So far this washer dryer was amazing but I only had it for 2 weeks and in reality it all depends how it ages.
I have open space so wanted something quiet and don’t have space for separate dryer. I have 12kg option and must say it so far performed brilliantly. Automatic option is not the best as it leaves clothes slightly damp but setting it up manually solves that problem. Clothes smell nice and fresh even after long drying cycle which is a very positive surprise
My last washer dryer lasted over 10 years but became really loud so had to swap it even that it was still going strong and I’m hoping this one will match the lifespan with all this amazing tech still working
Low Noise and energy use I bought this washing machine just over a month ago and have only used it a handful of times with a mixed load with dye snatchers (as I live on my own and the drum size is huge compared to my old machine). This machine is almost silent compared to my old one and so much more energy efficient-shown by the figures on my energy monitor. I didn’t think I had switched it on properly the first time I used it as it is so quiet but it gives a slight click when the door is locked. You are also advised to use a coin to clean out the pump once a month (which I haven’t done yet, so can’t comment on how easy this is to do). The machine itself is easy to operate using a dial and I like that the digital display shows you the temperature of the program and how long it’s got to run for. It is also easy to dry out the wide rubber seals of the drum and door (which is got tinted glass so you can’t see the washing)
A big downside is the manual-it refers to lots of different models and functions and it is really poorly laid out and confusing to follow. I still haven’t figured out what all the machine does and how the steam function works but I think I will get there eventually given time.
Overall it is a great value machine.
Good cleaning and, despite other reviews, good drying. Simple interface, though could be improved. I have tried one of the dirt-specific cleaning cycles, and it really worked. Drying, provided you don’t overload, is also very good. As good as an LG I bought last year.

We absolutely love it! It wasn’t cheap, but we’re glad we made the investment. Virtually silent, a big drum and everything is lovely and clean delighted

Best buy! So happy I bought this. I was worried about how dry the clothes would be but wow. Bone dry. It’s a long program but the book says it’s eco so I hope so. It’s quiet and looks good. Highly recommend

Shoddy installers Great machine but installers were not the best. Did not level the machine so vibrated violently when in spin mode, made some lame excuse about not wanting to fit the new water hose! Should have gone to AO.com as their installers are first class and was only 10 more…live and lea

Fabulous replacement for an old machine Ordered and delivered and fitted in 3 days with the most polite delivery crew I have ever met. The removal of old and installation of new was seamless and the machine is fabulous. It looks great, is so much bigger and quieter than my old machine and the 1400 spin means things come out much drier if you don’t want to tumble them. It washes brilliantly and although I’ve only used a couple of programmes so far it’s done really well. Looks very sleek in the kitchen and the light up drum is a great feature. If I had to make any suggestions it would only be that I would like the door hinges to allow for the door to go further back when opening but that’s simply because the area in front of my machine is narrow and the door sticking out is a slight pain. Highly recommend for the money
Great purchase Was not sure about paying the extra for a heat pump dryer but so glad I did. Much cheaper to use, reverse rotation so no more sheets etc in a big lump. And so quiet.
Good looking and functional washer drye This is the first wahser dryer that i have owned. Drying works very well, you can very much wear your clothes straight out of it. It’s not loud and looks pretty cool too
Easy to use efficie There is next to no noise from this machine, our clothes seem cleaner and using this machine is more efficient than using 2 separate machines

Quiet and efficient. Very quiet compared to a ten year old Hotpoint it replaced with some useful features such as the light in side the drum which helps avoid leaving a sock in there! All the usual features but it pays to read the manual as altering a program’s parameters doesn’t seem as instinctive as the Hotpoint. The Eco setting is getting a lot of use and adjusts the wash cycle according to weight etc – so far it has given great satisfaction.

Brilliant! It’s sooooo quiet and barely moves during the spin cycle. I would say the dryer isn’t quite as good as my old one but then that was a standalone dryer so perhaps that’s the reason, but all in all, I’m happy with this purchase.
Omg omg omg #love This machine is so quite!
Beautiful to see and so, happy withy purchase. I’m sure I will get every sock washed and dried today. I read reviews and watched videos was so nervous but so happy now. Low energy usage which is why I cancelled. My first choice Hotpoint.
Quiet machine I really like this machine, it’s quiet, it washes the clothes very well and has lots of settings like fast which takes about one hour and a 15 minute wash, which takes about a quarter of an hour. I find it dries a lot of clothes in quite a small amount of time which is really useful.
Make sure you level the machine before installing it, otherwise it makes a horrible noise when spinning, but once it’s levelled it’s really quiet and all round a very good washer dryer!
Brilliant and quiet machine great value for money So easy to use looks great plus I love the light inside the drum helps find the dark stuff also looks good very quiet machine brilliant so far only had it a few weeks but totally worth the money
Stability during Spin Cycle Controls easy to use and machine quiet during wash cycle. Can be a bit noisy during some spin cycles but remains stable and does not move. Our last machine tended to dance across the floor during spinning at regular intervals.
HAIRE HWD80-B14979 WASHER DRYER Delivered, installed & tested by Amazon 14/12/2021 as a Christmas present for my daughter when everywhere else said “out of stock” Searched online for days and eventually arrived at this make & model which l’d never heard of. But after purchasing very comforting to find it was Which magazine best buy 2020. My daughter informs me that she quickly familiarised herself with the controls and has been using it ever since with no problems. When visiting it appeared to be of good quality build and very space age with it’s touch control facia and drum light. It’s not cheap but so far it has been money well spent.
Great machine terrible fitting service. Machine super quiet, cleans amazing. Controls a little complex but slowly getting use to it. However the fitting service where meant to fit noise pads but chucked them down the back of machine. Did not level machine so it wobbled which can damage the drum if left like this. Had to level it myself
Amazing washer dryer! After have 5 brand new hoover washer dryer kept breaking down, so decided to go with this machine and I highly recommend it to anyone. You couldn’t ask for a better machine. Very quiet, great cleaning quality! Dryer works perfect too. Not noisy and the loading light very helpful!
Ok so here’s a story about getting clean clothes So we love this washer/dryer and could not ask for a better machine. But here is the crux; we ordered it and allegedly missed checking the “buy now with delivery and removal” box which added a total of 20 to the delivery fee. I say alleged because the integrity of the first delivery team was put into question. We ordered on Sunday for delivery and install on Tuesday. A large man and small woman showed up with the unit, dropped it down the stairs to our flat and left it, uninstalled. Now that’s bad, right? We called CS and were basically told we had to order another washer/dryer, adding the delivery/removal fee because there was no way to correct the mistake. Paying for the delivery and removal of the old machine was half the price of the new machine so economically it wouldn’t work for us. It’s so confusing that an organisation of this magnitude couldn’t organise a service which they honestly offer. In the end? We got a new machine but really unhappy as customers. And it didn’t seem to matter to anyone. Edited; be aware!!!! There is a fault in the dryer, CODE FB. Haier is aware this is a factory error and will take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks to fix at their discretion. When scheduling for this inevitable fix, make sure the parts are sent to you directly as the repair person does not have parts with them which will add weeks to the repair. Haier does not care if you are happy or unhappy. I would honestly reconsider buying this machine. The hassle from both Amazon and Haier has made it not worth it.
Nice quiet machine, but be careful Nice looking machine and easy to use the dial to select programs etc. However, the stated depth of the machine is incorrect. Seems it doesn’t include the depth of the door, and excludes a section of the rear panel that protrudes 10mm or so. If, like me, you will put this in a cupboard then you might end up disappointed. I spent a day re-plumbing the waste to make extra space for it, and it now fits. The other issue I have is that there does not seem to be a way to select dryer temperature (other than selecting multiple 30 min programs, to avoid highest temp). Some of my daughter’s clothes (dryer safe, low temp) that previously went in our standalone dryer were shrunk in the machine. Lastly, the installers could not get the machine to work with the supplied hose, and had to use the hose that was already in place. Water pressure is not a problem in London, and the machine is installed on the ground floor so we were all a bit confused by this but doesn’t seem to have caused a problem.
All that said, it’s really quiet on both wash and dry sequences, gets everything nice and clean and feels like a sturdy unit. We were impressed by the build quality of a Haier fridge freezer purchased earlier in the year, which influenced our purchase. I would definitely recommend this machine if it fits your requirements.
Very good machine The dryer is better than I expected. There was a bit smelly after the first or second dry , but it goes away when we use it more. Very good machine, highly recommended.
A Great Modern Slick Machine Upon moving into my new apartment, the previous owners left the original Hotpoint washing machine which worked ok.
However it started to develop several issues over the course of 7 months.
I fixed those several issues, and kept it going until black Friday came and I thought it was time to upgrade.
I was eyeing up the new version of the same model I had “Hotpoint RD966JKDUKN” but it was always out of stock.
So I looked at alternatives. My first choice was a Samsung machine, most of my friends and family have Samsung washing machines and they have been very good.
The Samsung range of machines had quite a deep depth which may not be suitable for my kitchen.
I came across the Haier model range and was intrigued by its modern looks and features.
Haier is very popular in Asia, but its just starting to make a few waves here in the UK and Europe.
There have been a few reviews where people have had problems too which was also a concern.
With Haier being a direct drive with no belts the noise levels were pretty low which really ticked the boxes.
Further research into the brand I decided to go for one.
I went for a Drier model, granted drier models aren’t as reliable as their separate counterparts, but the thought that I would only seldom use the drier for duvet covers during the winter months.
I had two main requirements for a machine, first requirement would be its noise levels, with my kitchen being open plan I wanted a quiet machine.
With the second, I needed a machine with a small depth size. Where the machine will be positioned, my kitchen sink cupboard door will swing out in front of it so the depth of the machine has to be taken into consideration.
At 46cm depth, no other machine came close in matching this spec.
Once purchased, I installed and positioned the unit myself.
The transit bolts were a little tricky to remove but came out with a little persuasion
The acoustic foam strips were also fitted, not too sure they make much difference but I fitted them anyways as it was super easy.
Things to look out for upon first run
-Always use new washers if using your existing cold water hose. (I used my existing hose as its an extra long one due to the position of the cold water pipe feed)
-If the machine rattles at high speed, the machine is not level. Adjust the feet of the machine.
(May prove tricky if there is no room to access the feet whilst the machine is in position)
A little kitchen cupboard/skirting disassembly may be needed)
What a lovely machine.
It looks fantastic, the touch screen interface is nice to use, and once you get to the know the menu it’s a breeze to use.
There is a very slight delay when pressing the on/off button which is normal.
A few pro and cons listed below from my experiences in using the machine.
Pro’s
-Modern Looking with great features
-Rotational knob has a lovely damped feeling when rotated (doesn’t feel cheap)
-Love the LED illuminated light inside the drum (Stays on for around 2 or 3 mins and then switches off)
(You can twist the main knob to turn the light back on during use if you want)
-Very quiet when on high speed spin and normal wash spin (The water fill and drain pump is quite noisy though — although I don’t think any machine can get rid of this noise)
-Build quality seems fantastic, including opening the door and its seals. It should last a long time if cared for.
-Wash programmes are customisable and you can select what you want from different temperatures and spin speeds.
-Auto wash programmes are there if you want a quick and easy selection
-Easy to access pump maintenance flap. Features a drain tube to empty prior to removing the drain pump filter which is handy.
-Wash cycle is A rated on the new scale
-I-refresh feature actually does work (Removes odours from clothing)
-Two year guarantee from the manufacturer (if you choose the washer only version its 5 years)
Con’s
-Touch screen interface is not as sensitive as your phone for example
-Not so simple to use, you do need to read the manual
-Not really suitable if you need a simple machine with one knob and a start button.
-Due to the updated energy rating. The machine drops to a D rating due to the drier feature.
-Not really suited to the older generation (It may be too complicated to use for them)
-No wi-fi or app control features
I was abit sceptical in trying a new brand, but I am glad I took the plunge and purchased one.
As per the lists above, there are a lot more pro’s than con’s to this machine.
I really didn’t mind the unit not having any Wi-Fi or app control features.
You still have to physically load and empty the machine with clothes, so you have to set it all up and run it so apps and Wi-Fi doesn’t really make any sense to a washing machine in my opinion.
Providing you are fine with the modern touch screen interface this machine is fantastic.
Wait for special sale events where it’s usually reduced in price.
Installation tip I researched this item well, its a great machine washes clean, flexible programmes, not so quiet on the full speed setting but quick and bearable. Dryer works well and the time can be tailored to your needs. The one I ordered from Amazon had to be returned as the installers took out the bolts but left the iron transportation bars on the back which damages the drum when used. As a result the machine made an awful racket (there is an example video of the vibration and noise posted but the buyer thought it was the machine itself rattling) and actually turned itself off the couple times I tried it. When I realised the problem I sent it back and got one from elsewhere..those installers did take the back bars off but I had to explain to them what the noise reduction pads supplied were for! Note to Amazon and all suppliers – take time to train your installers – not every machine is the same!!!!
So far I am very Happy with my new machine. Apparently they tested this machine by standing 7 coins on they’re sides and on full spin they all remained standing. Well i can confirm i did it with A 1 coin & A 50p & both passed the test.. Also the machine looks great. It washes clothes very well. So yes I’m very HAPPY With my new machine. Would i recommend it to others? I certainly would without hesitation. I’ve heard on several occasions buy cheap buy twice. Well i have already learned my lesson there. I beleive these machines are tested for a working life equivalent to 20 years of service the same as 2 other very well known German brands. I phoned and added the 2 years parts & manifacturers faults free 2 year Guarantee. I really hope i wont be needing to use it. I have to say for now I’m over the moon an easy 5 stars from me. Thank you.. Ohh the only thing i will say it weighs the same as A small house. Like yes it’s seriously heavy. And read all the instructions well before 1st use make syre all cross suports / transit bolts/ bars and screws are removed & stored safely incase you ever move and have to package it for transit again. Not like my mother who bins everything then recently moved and had her machine damaged due to being moved incorrectly.. That’s all folks.
Love it! For years I have had a tiny 3kg washing machine that was so noisy it had to go on at night as my son wouldn’t tolerate it otherwise. We finally decided that enough was enough and after some kitchen cabinet cutting we bought a ‘normal’ sized washer and dryer, seeing as my dryer from the late 70’s had started to make a knocking sound too. I did my research and decided on this one. I am not disappointed! This is a mid priced machine and is well worth the money. Firstly, it is so quiet that I can have the machine on in the day with my son around and he doesn’t immediately try to leave the house, it was worth the price for that alone. Secondly, it’s really easy to use and I love that it adjusts the washing time depending on the weight of the load. It looks good, the light is a nice touch. If it has any flaws they are the following but they in no means take away from it’s brilliance. 1. It would be nice if you could turn the light on if you wanted as it only goes on at the start and end of a wash (if the machine is still on) and because it has a dark door you can’t see what’s going on inside without the light, no bigge really. 2. The front, especially the door, is quite static’y so attracts dust super easy, meh. 3. If you don’t take the clothes out of the machine as soon as it finishes drying they can be super creased, *shrug*. So, in conclusion, if you wanted a new washer/dryer you will not be disappointed if you buy this – the novelty hasn’t worn off yet and I’ve had it about a month now!
Excellent washer drye My first Haier product which replaced a 9 year old Hotpoint WD. Easyish to install – tho machine is very heavy so needs a couple of people to manoeuvre, plus there are lots of bolts and bars to remove when you unpack it. Had a fault when delivered but fixed by the Haier within a week so all fine now.
Machine is very good for both washing and drying functions:
Likes:
Very quiet, even on spin
Light in drum – who knew this would be so handy
Programmes – good range and easy to set; most can be customised with spin speed and temperature, including the super quick Express Wash which is very handy (my old Hotpoint didn’t allow this)
I-Refresh is incredibly handy for cushion covers, coats, jackets etc – basically anything you can’t wash, it’s a bit like having your own dry cleaning facility
Drying – way better than my old machine, dries a full load of cottons in less than an hour using auto function
Big drum – means fewer washes; also means that quick washes are more effective as clothes have more room to move
Slim – fits easily under the counter
Looks – very sleek and modern
Watch out for:
Cant interrupt programmes halfway through not even drying which has to complete before you can unlock the drum
Eco wash takes ages – washes at 40′ and lasts over 2.5 hours; seems to use just as much water and way more movement than a standard wash, so not really getting how this saves money
Instructions – no information on what the programmes actually do! Trial and error and some videos on YouTube. Also note the manual is wrong on the different drying levels – the T-shirt is ready to wear not cupboard dry (which is the hanger)
Drum – the front door is plastic and a fingerprint and dust magnet, you’ll be cleaning it frequently!
Great quality 👌 and far price It’s great I like the idea I can go out know that my washing is washed and dry ready to wear as well for the next day with the set programme of ion ready

It’s modern and easy to use looks fab I paid extra for the old washing machine to be taken away and the new washing machine to be installed, the two delivery guys bogdan and Martin were brilliant and went the extra mile to help with disconnecting the old machine a delivering a great service 🙂
Brilliant wash but touch screen challenges Having now used this machine for a couple of months, I can say that I love it! I can’t however give it full marks as the touch screen can be difficult to use. It took ages for me to be able to switch the damned thing on when I first used it, and even now it can take a few goes. I can’t imagine any visitor will be able to use it if we’re away. But otherwise, a brilliant machine.
Better than the reviews I spent a lot of time looking at reviews, and I have to be honest, all the negative points are written by people clearly over filling their machines.
You have to remember that the wash weight is different to the dry weight, so yes, if you fill the drum to the brim and still expect it to dry you’re going to be waiting a very long time, as well as damaging your machine.
As I learnt from my previous washer dryer – never select “wash and dry” because things never come out dry. I always select a wash cycle and program a dry to start straight after. The cycle is considerably quicker than my previous machine despite having a larger capacity. I can do a full wash and dry in 4 hours, my last machine took 5 and a half!
I love the touch screen, makes the machine feel so high tech! And the light inside the drum; of all the unnecessary features I never knew I wanted, this is it.
Yes, this really is as quiet as it claims! My last machine was so loud and violent that I caught it trying to run a marathon in my kitchen on several occasions and there was no way I could put a last minute load in at night ready for the morning without it waking people. I barely hear this washer dryer. I don’t need to close the kitchen door anymore just to hear what I’m thinking in a different room.
The settings in my opinion are very straight forward. I double checked the instructions just to be sure but everything was self explanatory.
I’ve had this less than a week and so far it has been a god send! And it comes with a 2 year warranty so even if something does go wrong Haier will cover it.
Damp wash solved Been wanting a washer dryer ever since I moved to the UK. I was hesitant as they are not known to be effecient. Read many reviews about clothes still being damped etc. My first wash I did mix with a dry cycle. Left it over night as it took 4 hours to complete. Next morning clothes were still damp. Frustration kicks in because it spent 4 hours doing what? I decided to try the fast program (which takes 1h 10min)… I did not select the dry cycle instead I waited for the program to be done and selected the seperate dry program afterwards instead. I changed the dry level until I saw all three icons pop up and a timer starting from 30 min up to 1h 30 min. Did an hour first and extended it with 30 min. Not sure how much energy it uses, but this works best to dry my clothes. In total it took 2h 40 min to wash and dry your clothes properly.
Great modern machine, perfect for smaller spaces. I bought the 8kg/5kg model of this for my flat. I had initially chosen a beko model of the same capacity however it didn’t fit through the narrow door of my kitchenette so had to get something more thinline with a smaller depth but i still wanted a good washer dryer so had to pay a bit more for the haier. At that point for me it became more important to get something that fit into my kitchen rather than saving money as my last ancient machine that came with my flat had just died.
These machines are very fancy, modern and most importantly they are very slimline for the capacity! I could have potentially even fitted a bigger model as even those are more slimline than standard machines however i went with the 8kg to keep on the safe side as i live alone anyway.
The machine is very quiet, it looks great, dryer works well (but as with any dryer be careful what you dry) and has a good capacity. It is a premium to pay but its worth it. The LEDS inside are a cool touch.
One thing i will say is the touch control to turn it on can be slightly confusing at first, You need to very lightly put your finger over the power button to turn it on. For the first while i was so confused as to why i was turning it on while brushing against it whilst washing the dishes but had difficulty when i actually went to switch it on. Only a slight niggle and once you know you know.
Good and efficie A great machine, quiet, and efficient. My only minor issue is getting used to a touch screen which is not as quick to respond. E.g. touching for 3 sec to get a response.
Haier German engineering Well being a single guy thought I would mention that this washer/dryer is fantastic,I read all the other reviews so I wont bore people with repetitive praise it is 5 stars if it had 10 stars on Amazon it would have had 10**********
Sehr Gte.
Very impressed Certainly not disappointed with its performance!
The pre programs on this product are fantastic, and the drying cycles actually dry. It’s very quiet compared to others, looks cool, and for the size of the drum, the loads you can get in there is impressive. Nice touch with the I-refresh program.
Well done Haier!
This is so Quiet and Feature Packed. The best washer/dryer machine eve This really is a quiet machine with hardly any motor noise even during the spin cycle, which is ideal for my open plan kitchen/living room. The machine automatically rinses its door seals to keep them clean, however there is usually a little clean water left on the seal (even after a drying cycle), so I just give it a quick dab dry with a tea towel before i pull my dried laundry out, but that is the only negative I can say about the machine, but this is well worth it for the assurance that it provides that no residues and mildew will not build up in the machine.
I purchased this as it was described as ultra-quiet and as I stated at the start of my review it does not disappoint. We needed a quiet washer/dryer as our dog barked at our old machine when it changed cycle and we have an open plan house following our recent re-model – This washer/dryer is quieter than our Kettle. I have only had a just over a week so I have not really had the opportunity to use many of the cycles yet but I can confirm that the quick 15 minute wash is excellent and the dryer dried our clothes at the first attempt, something my previous washer/dryer was not able to do.
In summary, I am happy with this washer dryer. There are plenty of washing options. The timings for the options are pre-set but you can easily change them. Another important factor is that the dryer is really good with three drying options. The auto weigh function and the fact that it can automatically adjust the timing just work so well. The machine is so very quiet! It also looks great. Absolutely no negatives, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The best washer/dryer I have ever owned!
Well beyond expectations Absolutely amazing unit. Never before had I thought it worthwhile to buy a more expensive product until now. It is so quiet, efficient and great at its job.
Worth the money!! Super quite! Like, unbelievably quite. Can fit double the load we used too in our previous washer (used to have an 8kg)
Clothes smell fresh, auto weighs your washing to use just the right amount of water.

Does what it says on the tin 4* Very efficient modern machine, well worth the price tag. I would recommend to friends and potentially looking for a second one in the future.

Good upgrade I decided to purchase a new machine as my old one was over 14 years old and needed upgrading. With the current pandemic and washing a lot more frequently than normal I decided on this model due to the larger drum capacity and added dryer. It arrived fairly promptly however did arrive with a few scratches on either side of the machine which was disappointing and the reason I’ve dropped a star. Thankfully, due to placing it underneath my kitchen counter they are not visible, though I know they’re there. It has a lot of different programmes which is useful and it is quiet when running, though noisier than my last machine when spinning. Not sure if it’s supposed to be that loud or not, but as long as I don’t do my washing late at night then it’s not too much of an issue.
Fab machine We already had a washer/dryer by Samsung but needed to upgrade to a bigger better one as we had nothing but issues with the old one. The instructions were easy to follow and once the machine was in I couldn’t wait to get it on. The machine has a light inside which is so handy. I started with just a wash cycle and I couldn’t believe how much more washing fitted in this 12kg drum compared to the previous 9kg drum or how much quieter the machine was when it started and when spinning. Then I tried a wash/dry cycle which I was dreading at first to be honest as our previous Samsung machine made a really loud whirring noise when the drying cycle started and would take a minimum of 6 hours to dry 6kg of washing. I put the full 9kg of washing on the dry cycle and tried for 2 hours at first, when it had finished it was still a bit damp so put it on again and it was for 1.5hours and that did the trick. So 9kg of clothing dried in just under 4hours compared to 6kg and over 6 hours and best of all no loud whirring sound.
Game changer, time saver! I have just upgraded to this from a standard washing machine. Having never owned a washer/dryer before I feel like I’m now living a life of luxury and am wondering why I didn’t make this step years ago! It’s literally a game changer and time saver! I’m loving not having to put the washing out or swap machines!
I’m loving how energy efficient this is, it makes me want to use it over and over again and it doesn’t make me feel guilty using the dryer over putting the washing out!
The large capacity of 12kg is amazing, I can fit so much in the drum it saves me having to do as many washes a week plus it’s perfect for duvets and larger items too.
There are lots of settings so it’s great for many materials and on a couple of them you can manually change the spins, rinses, temperatures etc. There are 3 different drying options which I’m still playing around with-so far i’m enjoying the options and seeing the different results.
The machine is so quiet, it’s a godsend! My washing machine was quite noisy but I often don’t even know this is really on because it is just a soft background noise.
It looks modern and the lights are actually one of my favourite features as is the steam function, I’m looking forward to testing that out on stains! The LED lights are so snazzy and the light inside the drum makes loading and unloading so much easier, especially when I have to find something to take it out etc.
I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, not just large households. Just remember to take the transportations bolts out of the back before using it like I didn’t!!!!
You won’t be disappointed-i’m showing my age here but it’s my best purchase so far this year!!!
Excellent!!! This washer dryer has changed my life!
Having two young children I have alot of laundry, I also only have a small amount of space in my house and was unable to have a separate dryer. I would use my washing machine several times a day which in the winter months or rainy days is hard to get the clothes dry.
Now, each load I do half can go in the dryer which doesn’t take long and the other on the radiator. This cuts my laundry time down by almost half, keeping the dirty basket under control.
It is extremely quiet on both wash and dry. Quick and easy to use. Child lock on the door and on the controls.
Plus, the light on the inside of the drum entertains the little one
Overall amazing!!!
I had a larger version of this model but it wouldn’t fit in my new home so got this smaller model.
I have not been disappointed – it’s quiet, reliable and so easy to use.
Would definitely recommend this brand
Really happy with my purchase, it looks amazing and easy to use. Paid extra for Amazon to install and take away our old one which I’d highly recommend!
The only thing I’d say is that when a cycle has ended it doesn’t beep or make a noise to say its ready, minor negative but not a reason to avoid purchase!
Very happy so fa
Compared to our old washer dryer that our landlord refused to replace its amazing.
So far so good.
Very quiet machine. Wash programmes are great. Only tried the drier twice and it was good for a small load like underwear and socks. I tried towels and it would have taken hours. Great machine so fa
Best washer dryer I have every had.
I love my new washer dryer. So worth the money. Dryer does not take long at all. Most washer dryer take for every to dry not this one 100% recommend. Looks amazing and all touch screen. Very good warranty.
Great washe
Like- how quiet it is
Dislike- the loud thud when the water goes i
Quick wash and strong dryer that’s all I ask fo
Been looking for washer dryer that can actually dry up completely, this one does it.
And there’s 15mins quick wash.
Really that’s all I ask for with this price
Great quiet machine
Needed a smaller depth washing machine/dryer to go into a cupboard. This perfectly fit the bill, but be aware that the size quoted isn’t the actual(add approx 80mmto include door and hisesat rear.) The machine is easy to use and extremely quiet. Unable to comment on energy efficiency as still to early into owning it. I would certainly recommend on noise reduction alone
I am really happy with this machine, it is super quiet and carries out a really good wash – maybe due to the extra large drum size.
Lots of features that are actually useful! and it is really quite.
All in all I would highly recommend this machine.
Love it!!!
Easy to use, glad I bought the 10kg size drum load!!
Would highly recommend!
Bought this to replace my old Bosch VWF2401 that I had for over twenty odd years. Glad I purchased the 8kg ‘HWD80’ Model, as any thicker would’ve been a problem to get through the narrow doors I have. Definitely a tad deeper than the 46cm stated in the product dimensions by at least 4cm.
All in all extremely impressed with this Washer-Dryer. Drum Noise is almost silent until its doing a heavy spin. Most of the noise appears to be from vibration in where it’s situated, so may even be a bit quieter once I use the sticky muffling pads provided. Speaking of the drum, the size is huge compared to my old one, more than enough to accommodate the weekly wash of a small family, let alone me on my own!
Dryer also dries the capacity as it should, I half loaded the drum and it had no problems on the Smart Wash/Dry getting my bedding dried. The dryer itself isn’t too loud either, can barely hear it from the next room. The interior light for the drum is also very helpful in loading and unloading, especially in low light conditions.
The Cycles are all of variable lengths, and all settings like Temperature, Spin and Dry Time can be changed. It is also possible to completely customise a cycle to whatever you are washing so you can really get what you want out of a cycle.
My only complaint; the touch screen buttons. It can be a bit temperamental and fidgety. Might be my big sausage fingers but it always seems to lack any responsiveness without pressing hard on it. Would’ve been nice also to have had some functionality to connect it to WiFi and run cycles from an app like some other brands have, but that’s not a feature I’m overtly worried about.
All in all quite happy with buying!
Bought this on 26-Nov-2022 and was delivered on 02-Dec-2022. I started using it from 15-Feb-2023 only.
Machine looks good and works well. Not noisy except when its running in SPIN-DRY mode.
I was afraid that the dryer function may not be good as in the past I have noticed that washer-dryers are not very effective and people still install a separate dryer. However, this machine does a very good job of drying clothes.
With 2 weeks of usage, as of now, I am happy with this product.
Amazing washing machine
First time getting a haeir washing machine. Have to say I’m really impressed so far with it. Functions are great and like the smart WiFi feature as well which gives you options for checking how long is left on a wash to being able to remote select your wash when say for example your on your way back home and you wanted the washing done when your back.
Only issue I had was the home install by Amazon home team as the guys didn’t connect the pipes properly resulting in the kitchen flooding. Would have installed the thing myself but I was away from home with work for a few days and my wife was at home and the machine we had broke down so we needed this one up and running.
But Amazon had compensated us for the damage so grateful for that.
Overall a great machine
It’s very nice and spacious. But it’s difficult to program it the way you want.
The dryer take to long and it’s not very efficient.
Great machine but poor instructions and some missing features. For example, there is no way to stop it when drying. With a dryer you would expect you could press a button to stop it any time, or even just open the door and see how dry they are to decide if you want to leave them in or not. But with this machine there is no stop button and the door is locked !!! You literally have to turn the machine off then reset it to get it to unlock the door.
We couldn’t use it straight away because the drain hose is unusually short, so I had to buy an extension from a local shop. However the performance more than makes up for that! Our old 7kg Beko machine was so much louder, when the Haier is running almost all the sound is from the clothes tumbling. No residual odours even on items that previously didn’t smell very good. Several people in the house has sensitive skin so we make use of the extra rinse function – you can keep pressing the button for 1, 2 or 3 additional rinses. All in all I’m very happy with this machine.
Great machine so much quieter than our old one, very easy to use. Just make sure to level it correctly, slight adjustment while it was spinning helped find perfect level to reduce noise and vibration. My only negative is the sheer weight and sticky rubber feet made it really hard to slide into place and did leave black marks on the kitchen floor, which come off after a bit of scrubbing.
Quiet machine
Been using it for a few weeks and it is very quiet and is easily the most stable machine we have ever had – no jumping and banging about the kitchen floor. It replaced a similar LG direct drive motor machine we had used for about 8 years and seems a fitting replacement.
Was apprehensive on the washer drier thing. Space saved was the deciding factor plus the Black Friday price trigger.
Glad we bought the 10 kg version as it lives in a cupboard upstairs and it’s with plenty of space about it. It sits on one of those vibration mats, 6 from a diy place. Same as a normal washer no extra things to worry about. Drains washing and drying down the pipe. The lint tray seems to be around the door and this is then washed down the drain on next wash. The same little door on front for the penny trap. I’m not sure how it keeps the condenser clean as I was always cleaning out the wet lint from the condenser on my stand alone condenser tumble drier unit.
I drain the penny trap filter every couple of weeks after I’ve finished just to eliminate any smells. Never found a penny either.
Performance. The menus take some getting used to. I stick to cotton then select speed, 1400 presently, then temp 40-60 depending on clothes. That’s it, when finished I take out the stuff I don’t want tumbled then shake the other stuff about a bit, place in my woolen drying ball things and stick it on 1 hour. I also remove the powder tray when drying and have it removed when the machine is idle any how.
I notice that when I start the drying function the machine uses some water. The clothes come out dry enough it still get stuck on the airer over night. I don’t like drying things crispy. Cuts down upon moisture in the home until I can dry outside again.
I’ve used gel pods, powder, liquid all seem good. I’ve used soda crystals, white vinegar and dettol stuff, all seem good. I’ve used tumble dry sheet and those woolen ball things, all seems good.
I don’t use the fabric softer liquid stuff.
Noise. It is quiet. Washing is loudest when it’s getting up to 1400 rpm, once there it’s fairly quiet. Drying is very quiet. I keep the cupboard door shut on washing but not drying.
Finally, it does look nice but more importantly it washes well and saves space. Quieter than my old separate machines. Doesn’t seem as robust, with more to go wrong, as it does more jobs but time will tell.
If it lasts at this current performance then I’m very pleased.
This machine is ridiculously quiet. I bought it as a Which? Best Buy for efficiency etc. but I hadn’t anticipated how quiet it would be, which is my favourite feature.
It’s quite shallow, but with a larger drum to make up for it. Relatively simple to use with a combination of a dial and touch sensitive area.
It looks great too.
I can’t find any negatives so far, and I’ve been using it for a few months.
Our previous washer of this make lasted nearly 15 years so we hope this will be as good. It’s very easy to use, mind I must confess we were apprehensive the first time,as this has a lot more programmes.
The washing has come out beautifully clean with less moisture than our previous one.
I haven’t tried the dryer as yet so can’t comment will just make sure I follow instructions, as this one offers more than my previous.
The big drum I like as it gives me the opportunity of doing a big wash instead of several which saves time and power.
Overall I am very pleased up to now only had it two weeks.
I would also like to complement on the two men who delivered and fitted. They were very friendly pleasant, respectful and did a great job, they also made sure the washer was working OK before leaving.
This is a great buy
Pros
Very quiet when in use
Switches off after cycle is completed
Cons
Black door, so difficult to see washing when in use or when washing completed, so forget that washing is in it and needs to be taken ou
Compared to my last washing machine, this gives outstanding washing results. You can customise all 14 preset programs, add up to 3 extra rinses, and adjust the spin speed from 400 to 1400. Change the temperature from 0 to 90c and set wether your clothes are soiled with blood, grass, wine, juice, milk or mud. You can set the time for when you want the machine to start or end. As for the tumble dryer, i was equally impressed with the results. I can’t believe how well it dries the clothes, without being harsh on the fabric. Again, you can adjust all the settings on that, or let it do it’s own thing. Either way, the results are impressive. I have found a little trick to speed up the drying process, and that is, open the detergent draw whilst drying. This lets out a lot of the condensation, thus, cutting down the drying time considerably. You don’t need to keep checking on the clothes either, as it has all the relevant sensors built to take care of that. My machine is situated on floorboards, which isn’t ideal. It’s naturally going to generate more sound pollution this way, as to installing the machine on a solid concrete floor. Build quality of the machine is above average. It also has a light inside the drum. Now if you’re not used to having a light inside the drum, you actually wonder how you ever lived without one. This little light makes loading and unloading the machine somehow easier. It makes a mundane job enjoyable. The front panel is mainly touch sensitive which i prefer. This allows you to have more control over the machine. To top off my review, this machine also comes with a 2 year labor guarantee, and a 10 year parts guarantee. I mention this because i think that Haiers previous models weren’t without there problems. And when they did go wrong, which I found out through vigorous research, they went wrong mainly after a few washes into their life, leaving their customers totally in the dark. I am pretty sure that they have been forced to sort all these issues out, otherwise companies like Amazon would end up refusing to sell Haier products. When buying any new appliances, or anything electrical, i have always exhausted every avenue when it comes to research. I want to be sure that I’m not just buying something because it either looks good, or some salesman says its good, or because of the make. You would be surprised how many white goods manufactures are made in the same factory, using the same components, with the only difference being the badge on the front of the appliance, and maybe a few minor cosmetic changes, but with a substantial difference in the price, that’s the truth of it , that’s the world we live in today. To anyone looking at buying this product, i would say that you can purchase this product with confidence. Enjoy.
Feels like a quality made product- German brand. I did my research and reviews and went for this over the more well known brands. I installed it myself, and it worked straight awayphew!
Tried short cycle, wash and dry cycle, which was long but was drying as well. It works out the weight and how long it needs accordingly. So far really happy. It also just looks really great in my kitchen! I even bought the fridge freezer of same brand and LOVE THAT TOO!
quiet washer drye
easy to install and quite a lot quiter than last wahe
Not what was anticipated
Nice looking machine however it is being returned for a refund as there appears to be a design fault with the drier. Within the first year had to call 4 times for an engineer as the FD error kept showing, indicating a problem with the drying cycle. Sending it back and will be getting a Samsung instead. On a hood note the Haier customer service is very good, when I called they were very helpful. Also I did not have to beg or barter with Amazon for a refund and was easily helped by amazon to arrange a collection.
Awesome Machine!!
Zero noise even when on spin cycle. Touch controls fantastic. Easy to use machine.

So far was amazing
So far this washer dryer was amazing but I only had it for 2 weeks and in reality it all depends how it ages.
I have open space so wanted something quiet and don’t have space for separate dryer. I have 12kg option and must say it so far performed brilliantly. Automatic option is not the best as it leaves clothes slightly damp but setting it up manually solves that problem. Clothes smell nice and fresh even after long drying cycle which is a very positive surprise
My last washer dryer lasted over 10 years but became really loud so had to swap it even that it was still going strong and I’m hoping this one will match the lifespan with all this amazing tech still working
I bought this washing machine just over a month ago and have only used it a handful of times with a mixed load with dye snatchers (as I live on my own and the drum size is huge compared to my old machine). This machine is almost silent compared to my old one and so much more energy efficient-shown by the figures on my energy monitor. I didn’t think I had switched it on properly the first time I used it as it is so quiet but it gives a slight click when the door is locked. You are also advised to use a coin to clean out the pump once a month (which I haven’t done yet, so can’t comment on how easy this is to do). The machine itself is easy to operate using a dial and I like that the digital display shows you the temperature of the program and how long it’s got to run for. It is also easy to dry out the wide rubber seals of the drum and door (which is got tinted glass so you can’t see the washing)
A big downside is the manual-it refers to lots of different models and functions and it is really poorly laid out and confusing to follow. I still haven’t figured out what all the machine does and how the steam function works but I think I will get there eventually given time.
Overall it is a great value machine.
Good cleaning and, despite other reviews, good drying.
Simple interface, though could be improved. I have tried one of the dirt-specific cleaning cycles, and it really worked. Drying, provided you don’t overload, is also very good. As good as an LG I bought last year.

We absolutely love it!
It wasn’t cheap, but we’re glad we made the investment. Virtually silent, a big drum and everything is lovely and clean delighted

Best buy!
So happy I bought this. I was worried about how dry the clothes would be but wow. Bone dry. It’s a long program but the book says it’s eco so I hope so. It’s quiet and looks good. Highly recommend

Shoddy installers
Great machine but installers were not the best. Did not level the machine so vibrated violently when in spin mode, made some lame excuse about not wanting to fit the new water hose! Should have gone to AO.com as their installers are first class and was only 10 more…live and lea

Fabulous replacement for an old machine
Ordered and delivered and fitted in 3 days with the most polite delivery crew I have ever met. The removal of old and installation of new was seamless and the machine is fabulous. It looks great, is so much bigger and quieter than my old machine and the 1400 spin means things come out much drier if you don’t want to tumble them. It washes brilliantly and although I’ve only used a couple of programmes so far it’s done really well. Looks very sleek in the kitchen and the light up drum is a great feature. If I had to make any suggestions it would only be that I would like the door hinges to allow for the door to go further back when opening but that’s simply because the area in front of my machine is narrow and the door sticking out is a slight pain. Highly recommend for the money
Great purchase
Was not sure about paying the extra for a heat pump dryer but so glad I did. Much cheaper to use, reverse rotation so no more sheets etc in a big lump. And so quiet.
Good looking and functional washer drye
This is the first wahser dryer that i have owned. Drying works very well, you can very much wear your clothes straight out of it. It’s not loud and looks pretty cool too
Easy to use efficie
There is next to no noise from this machine, our clothes seem cleaner and using this machine is more efficient than using 2 separate machines

Quiet and efficient.
Very quiet compared to a ten year old Hotpoint it replaced with some useful features such as the light in side the drum which helps avoid leaving a sock in there! All the usual features but it pays to read the manual as altering a program’s parameters doesn’t seem as instinctive as the Hotpoint. The Eco setting is getting a lot of use and adjusts the wash cycle according to weight etc – so far it has given great satisfaction.

Seems quite daunting at first but once you read the instructions and get used to all the programmes it becomes easy to use and it is very quiet and stable.

Brilliant!
It’s sooooo quiet and barely moves during the spin cycle. I would say the dryer isn’t quite as good as my old one but then that was a standalone dryer so perhaps that’s the reason, but all in all, I’m happy with this purchase.
Omg omg omg #love
This machine is so quite!
Beautiful to see and so, happy withy purchase. I’m sure I will get every sock washed and dried today. I read reviews and watched videos was so nervous but so happy now. Low energy usage which is why I cancelled. My first choice Hotpoint.
Quiet machine
I really like this machine, it’s quiet, it washes the clothes very well and has lots of settings like fast which takes about one hour and a 15 minute wash, which takes about a quarter of an hour. I find it dries a lot of clothes in quite a small amount of time which is really useful.
Make sure you level the machine before installing it, otherwise it makes a horrible noise when spinning, but once it’s levelled it’s really quiet and all round a very good washer dryer!
Brilliant and quiet machine great value for money
So easy to use looks great plus I love the light inside the drum helps find the dark stuff also looks good very quiet machine brilliant so far only had it a few weeks but totally worth the money
Stability during Spin Cycle
Controls easy to use and machine quiet during wash cycle. Can be a bit noisy during some spin cycles but remains stable and does not move. Our last machine tended to dance across the floor during spinning at regular intervals.
Delivered, installed & tested by Amazon 14/12/2021 as a Christmas present for my daughter when everywhere else said “out of stock” Searched online for days and eventually arrived at this make & model which l’d never heard of. But after purchasing very comforting to find it was Which magazine best buy 2020. My daughter informs me that she quickly familiarised herself with the controls and has been using it ever since with no problems. When visiting it appeared to be of good quality build and very space age with it’s touch control facia and drum light. It’s not cheap but so far it has been money well spent.
Great machine terrible fitting service.
Machine super quiet, cleans amazing. Controls a little complex but slowly getting use to it. However the fitting service where meant to fit noise pads but chucked them down the back of machine. Did not level machine so it wobbled which can damage the drum if left like this. Had to level it myself
Amazing washer dryer!
After have 5 brand new hoover washer dryer kept breaking down, so decided to go with this machine and I highly recommend it to anyone. You couldn’t ask for a better machine. Very quiet, great cleaning quality! Dryer works perfect too. Not noisy and the loading light very helpful!
So we love this washer/dryer and could not ask for a better machine. But here is the crux; we ordered it and allegedly missed checking the “buy now with delivery and removal” box which added a total of 20 to the delivery fee. I say alleged because the integrity of the first delivery team was put into question. We ordered on Sunday for delivery and install on Tuesday. A large man and small woman showed up with the unit, dropped it down the stairs to our flat and left it, uninstalled. Now that’s bad, right? We called CS and were basically told we had to order another washer/dryer, adding the delivery/removal fee because there was no way to correct the mistake. Paying for the delivery and removal of the old machine was half the price of the new machine so economically it wouldn’t work for us. It’s so confusing that an organisation of this magnitude couldn’t organise a service which they honestly offer. In the end? We got a new machine but really unhappy as customers. And it didn’t seem to matter to anyone. Edited; be aware!!!! There is a fault in the dryer, CODE FB. Haier is aware this is a factory error and will take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks to fix at their discretion. When scheduling for this inevitable fix, make sure the parts are sent to you directly as the repair person does not have parts with them which will add weeks to the repair. Haier does not care if you are happy or unhappy. I would honestly reconsider buying this machine. The hassle from both Amazon and Haier has made it not worth it.
Nice looking machine and easy to use the dial to select programs etc. However, the stated depth of the machine is incorrect. Seems it doesn’t include the depth of the door, and excludes a section of the rear panel that protrudes 10mm or so. If, like me, you will put this in a cupboard then you might end up disappointed. I spent a day re-plumbing the waste to make extra space for it, and it now fits. The other issue I have is that there does not seem to be a way to select dryer temperature (other than selecting multiple 30 min programs, to avoid highest temp). Some of my daughter’s clothes (dryer safe, low temp) that previously went in our standalone dryer were shrunk in the machine. Lastly, the installers could not get the machine to work with the supplied hose, and had to use the hose that was already in place. Water pressure is not a problem in London, and the machine is installed on the ground floor so we were all a bit confused by this but doesn’t seem to have caused a problem.
All that said, it’s really quiet on both wash and dry sequences, gets everything nice and clean and feels like a sturdy unit. We were impressed by the build quality of a Haier fridge freezer purchased earlier in the year, which influenced our purchase. I would definitely recommend this machine if it fits your requirements.
Very good machine
The dryer is better than I expected. There was a bit smelly after the first or second dry , but it goes away when we use it more. Very good machine, highly recommended.
A Great Modern Slick Machine
Upon moving into my new apartment, the previous owners left the original Hotpoint washing machine which worked ok.
However it started to develop several issues over the course of 7 months.
I fixed those several issues, and kept it going until black Friday came and I thought it was time to upgrade.
I was eyeing up the new version of the same model I had “Hotpoint RD966JKDUKN” but it was always out of stock.
So I looked at alternatives. My first choice was a Samsung machine, most of my friends and family have Samsung washing machines and they have been very good.
The Samsung range of machines had quite a deep depth which may not be suitable for my kitchen.
I came across the Haier model range and was intrigued by its modern looks and features.
Haier is very popular in Asia, but its just starting to make a few waves here in the UK and Europe.
There have been a few reviews where people have had problems too which was also a concern.
With Haier being a direct drive with no belts the noise levels were pretty low which really ticked the boxes.
Further research into the brand I decided to go for one.
I went for a Drier model, granted drier models aren’t as reliable as their separate counterparts, but the thought that I would only seldom use the drier for duvet covers during the winter months.
I had two main requirements for a machine, first requirement would be its noise levels, with my kitchen being open plan I wanted a quiet machine.
With the second, I needed a machine with a small depth size. Where the machine will be positioned, my kitchen sink cupboard door will swing out in front of it so the depth of the machine has to be taken into consideration.
At 46cm depth, no other machine came close in matching this spec.
Once purchased, I installed and positioned the unit myself.
The transit bolts were a little tricky to remove but came out with a little persuasion
The acoustic foam strips were also fitted, not too sure they make much difference but I fitted them anyways as it was super easy.
Things to look out for upon first run
-Always use new washers if using your existing cold water hose. (I used my existing hose as its an extra long one due to the position of the cold water pipe feed)
-If the machine rattles at high speed, the machine is not level. Adjust the feet of the machine.
(May prove tricky if there is no room to access the feet whilst the machine is in position)
A little kitchen cupboard/skirting disassembly may be needed)
What a lovely machine.
It looks fantastic, the touch screen interface is nice to use, and once you get to the know the menu it’s a breeze to use.
There is a very slight delay when pressing the on/off button which is normal.
A few pro and cons listed below from my experiences in using the machine.
Pro’s
-Modern Looking with great features
-Rotational knob has a lovely damped feeling when rotated (doesn’t feel cheap)
-Love the LED illuminated light inside the drum (Stays on for around 2 or 3 mins and then switches off)
(You can twist the main knob to turn the light back on during use if you want)
-Very quiet when on high speed spin and normal wash spin (The water fill and drain pump is quite noisy though — although I don’t think any machine can get rid of this noise)
-Build quality seems fantastic, including opening the door and its seals. It should last a long time if cared for.
-Wash programmes are customisable and you can select what you want from different temperatures and spin speeds.
-Auto wash programmes are there if you want a quick and easy selection
-Easy to access pump maintenance flap. Features a drain tube to empty prior to removing the drain pump filter which is handy.
-Wash cycle is A rated on the new scale
-I-refresh feature actually does work (Removes odours from clothing)
-Two year guarantee from the manufacturer (if you choose the washer only version its 5 years)
Con’s
-Touch screen interface is not as sensitive as your phone for example
-Not so simple to use, you do need to read the manual
-Not really suitable if you need a simple machine with one knob and a start button.
-Due to the updated energy rating. The machine drops to a D rating due to the drier feature.
-Not really suited to the older generation (It may be too complicated to use for them)
-No wi-fi or app control features
I was abit sceptical in trying a new brand, but I am glad I took the plunge and purchased one.
As per the lists above, there are a lot more pro’s than con’s to this machine.
I really didn’t mind the unit not having any Wi-Fi or app control features.
You still have to physically load and empty the machine with clothes, so you have to set it all up and run it so apps and Wi-Fi doesn’t really make any sense to a washing machine in my opinion.
Providing you are fine with the modern touch screen interface this machine is fantastic.
Wait for special sale events where it’s usually reduced in price.
A highly recommended machine.
I researched this item well, its a great machine washes clean, flexible programmes, not so quiet on the full speed setting but quick and bearable. Dryer works well and the time can be tailored to your needs. The one I ordered from Amazon had to be returned as the installers took out the bolts but left the iron transportation bars on the back which damages the drum when used. As a result the machine made an awful racket (there is an example video of the vibration and noise posted but the buyer thought it was the machine itself rattling) and actually turned itself off the couple times I tried it. When I realised the problem I sent it back and got one from elsewhere..those installers did take the back bars off but I had to explain to them what the noise reduction pads supplied were for! Note to Amazon and all suppliers – take time to train your installers – not every machine is the same!!!!
Apparently they tested this machine by standing 7 coins on they’re sides and on full spin they all remained standing. Well i can confirm i did it with A 1 coin & A 50p & both passed the test.. Also the machine looks great. It washes clothes very well. So yes I’m very HAPPY With my new machine. Would i recommend it to others? I certainly would without hesitation. I’ve heard on several occasions buy cheap buy twice. Well i have already learned my lesson there. I beleive these machines are tested for a working life equivalent to 20 years of service the same as 2 other very well known German brands. I phoned and added the 2 years parts & manifacturers faults free 2 year Guarantee. I really hope i wont be needing to use it. I have to say for now I’m over the moon an easy 5 stars from me. Thank you.. Ohh the only thing i will say it weighs the same as A small house. Like yes it’s seriously heavy. And read all the instructions well before 1st use make syre all cross suports / transit bolts/ bars and screws are removed & stored safely incase you ever move and have to package it for transit again. Not like my mother who bins everything then recently moved and had her machine damaged due to being moved incorrectly.. That’s all folks.
For years I have had a tiny 3kg washing machine that was so noisy it had to go on at night as my son wouldn’t tolerate it otherwise. We finally decided that enough was enough and after some kitchen cabinet cutting we bought a ‘normal’ sized washer and dryer, seeing as my dryer from the late 70’s had started to make a knocking sound too. I did my research and decided on this one. I am not disappointed! This is a mid priced machine and is well worth the money. Firstly, it is so quiet that I can have the machine on in the day with my son around and he doesn’t immediately try to leave the house, it was worth the price for that alone. Secondly, it’s really easy to use and I love that it adjusts the washing time depending on the weight of the load. It looks good, the light is a nice touch. If it has any flaws they are the following but they in no means take away from it’s brilliance. 1. It would be nice if you could turn the light on if you wanted as it only goes on at the start and end of a wash (if the machine is still on) and because it has a dark door you can’t see what’s going on inside without the light, no bigge really. 2. The front, especially the door, is quite static’y so attracts dust super easy, meh. 3. If you don’t take the clothes out of the machine as soon as it finishes drying they can be super creased, *shrug*. So, in conclusion, if you wanted a new washer/dryer you will not be disappointed if you buy this – the novelty hasn’t worn off yet and I’ve had it about a month now!
My first Haier product which replaced a 9 year old Hotpoint WD. Easyish to install – tho machine is very heavy so needs a couple of people to manoeuvre, plus there are lots of bolts and bars to remove when you unpack it. Had a fault when delivered but fixed by the Haier within a week so all fine now.
Machine is very good for both washing and drying functions:
Likes:
Very quiet, even on spin
Light in drum – who knew this would be so handy
Programmes – good range and easy to set; most can be customised with spin speed and temperature, including the super quick Express Wash which is very handy (my old Hotpoint didn’t allow this)
I-Refresh is incredibly handy for cushion covers, coats, jackets etc – basically anything you can’t wash, it’s a bit like having your own dry cleaning facility
Drying – way better than my old machine, dries a full load of cottons in less than an hour using auto function
Big drum – means fewer washes; also means that quick washes are more effective as clothes have more room to move
Slim – fits easily under the counter
Looks – very sleek and modern
Watch out for:
Cant interrupt programmes halfway through not even drying which has to complete before you can unlock the drum
Eco wash takes ages – washes at 40′ and lasts over 2.5 hours; seems to use just as much water and way more movement than a standard wash, so not really getting how this saves money
Instructions – no information on what the programmes actually do! Trial and error and some videos on YouTube. Also note the manual is wrong on the different drying levels – the T-shirt is ready to wear not cupboard dry (which is the hanger)
Drum – the front door is plastic and a fingerprint and dust magnet, you’ll be cleaning it frequently!
Overall a very impressive machine!
Great quality 👌 and far price
It’s great I like the idea I can go out know that my washing is washed and dry ready to wear as well for the next day with the set programme of ion ready

I paid extra for the old washing machine to be taken away and the new washing machine to be installed, the two delivery guys bogdan and Martin were brilliant and went the extra mile to help with disconnecting the old machine a delivering a great service 🙂
Brilliant wash but touch screen challenges
Having now used this machine for a couple of months, I can say that I love it! I can’t however give it full marks as the touch screen can be difficult to use. It took ages for me to be able to switch the damned thing on when I first used it, and even now it can take a few goes. I can’t imagine any visitor will be able to use it if we’re away. But otherwise, a brilliant machine.
I spent a lot of time looking at reviews, and I have to be honest, all the negative points are written by people clearly over filling their machines.
You have to remember that the wash weight is different to the dry weight, so yes, if you fill the drum to the brim and still expect it to dry you’re going to be waiting a very long time, as well as damaging your machine.
As I learnt from my previous washer dryer – never select “wash and dry” because things never come out dry. I always select a wash cycle and program a dry to start straight after. The cycle is considerably quicker than my previous machine despite having a larger capacity. I can do a full wash and dry in 4 hours, my last machine took 5 and a half!
I love the touch screen, makes the machine feel so high tech! And the light inside the drum; of all the unnecessary features I never knew I wanted, this is it.
Yes, this really is as quiet as it claims! My last machine was so loud and violent that I caught it trying to run a marathon in my kitchen on several occasions and there was no way I could put a last minute load in at night ready for the morning without it waking people. I barely hear this washer dryer. I don’t need to close the kitchen door anymore just to hear what I’m thinking in a different room.
The settings in my opinion are very straight forward. I double checked the instructions just to be sure but everything was self explanatory.
I’ve had this less than a week and so far it has been a god send! And it comes with a 2 year warranty so even if something does go wrong Haier will cover it.
So far, I highly recommend this.
Been wanting a washer dryer ever since I moved to the UK. I was hesitant as they are not known to be effecient. Read many reviews about clothes still being damped etc. My first wash I did mix with a dry cycle. Left it over night as it took 4 hours to complete. Next morning clothes were still damp. Frustration kicks in because it spent 4 hours doing what? I decided to try the fast program (which takes 1h 10min)… I did not select the dry cycle instead I waited for the program to be done and selected the seperate dry program afterwards instead. I changed the dry level until I saw all three icons pop up and a timer starting from 30 min up to 1h 30 min. Did an hour first and extended it with 30 min. Not sure how much energy it uses, but this works best to dry my clothes. In total it took 2h 40 min to wash and dry your clothes properly.
Grea
Great Washer/ Dryer, haven’t used all the functions on it as of yet, but what I ain’t use it for has been great.

I bought the 8kg/5kg model of this for my flat. I had initially chosen a beko model of the same capacity however it didn’t fit through the narrow door of my kitchenette so had to get something more thinline with a smaller depth but i still wanted a good washer dryer so had to pay a bit more for the haier. At that point for me it became more important to get something that fit into my kitchen rather than saving money as my last ancient machine that came with my flat had just died.
These machines are very fancy, modern and most importantly they are very slimline for the capacity! I could have potentially even fitted a bigger model as even those are more slimline than standard machines however i went with the 8kg to keep on the safe side as i live alone anyway.
The machine is very quiet, it looks great, dryer works well (but as with any dryer be careful what you dry) and has a good capacity. It is a premium to pay but its worth it. The LEDS inside are a cool touch.
One thing i will say is the touch control to turn it on can be slightly confusing at first, You need to very lightly put your finger over the power button to turn it on. For the first while i was so confused as to why i was turning it on while brushing against it whilst washing the dishes but had difficulty when i actually went to switch it on. Only a slight niggle and once you know you know.
Overall its a very nifty machine.
A great machine, quiet, and efficient. My only minor issue is getting used to a touch screen which is not as quick to respond. E.g. touching for 3 sec to get a response.
Well being a single guy thought I would mention that this washer/dryer is fantastic,I read all the other reviews so I wont bore people with repetitive praise it is 5 stars if it had 10 stars on Amazon it would have had 10**********
Sehr Gte.
Certainly not disappointed with its performance!
The pre programs on this product are fantastic, and the drying cycles actually dry. It’s very quiet compared to others, looks cool, and for the size of the drum, the loads you can get in there is impressive. Nice touch with the I-refresh program.
Well done Haier!
This really is a quiet machine with hardly any motor noise even during the spin cycle, which is ideal for my open plan kitchen/living room. The machine automatically rinses its door seals to keep them clean, however there is usually a little clean water left on the seal (even after a drying cycle), so I just give it a quick dab dry with a tea towel before i pull my dried laundry out, but that is the only negative I can say about the machine, but this is well worth it for the assurance that it provides that no residues and mildew will not build up in the machine.
I purchased this as it was described as ultra-quiet and as I stated at the start of my review it does not disappoint. We needed a quiet washer/dryer as our dog barked at our old machine when it changed cycle and we have an open plan house following our recent re-model – This washer/dryer is quieter than our Kettle. I have only had a just over a week so I have not really had the opportunity to use many of the cycles yet but I can confirm that the quick 15 minute wash is excellent and the dryer dried our clothes at the first attempt, something my previous washer/dryer was not able to do.
In summary, I am happy with this washer dryer. There are plenty of washing options. The timings for the options are pre-set but you can easily change them. Another important factor is that the dryer is really good with three drying options. The auto weigh function and the fact that it can automatically adjust the timing just work so well. The machine is so very quiet! It also looks great. Absolutely no negatives, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The best washer/dryer I have ever owned!
Well beyond expectations
Absolutely amazing unit. Never before had I thought it worthwhile to buy a more expensive product until now. It is so quiet, efficient and great at its job.
I highly recommend this item.
Super quite! Like, unbelievably quite. Can fit double the load we used too in our previous washer (used to have an 8kg)
Clothes smell fresh, auto weighs your washing to use just the right amount of water.

Does what it says on the tin 4*
Very efficient modern machine, well worth the price tag. I would recommend to friends and potentially looking for a second one in the future.

I decided to purchase a new machine as my old one was over 14 years old and needed upgrading. With the current pandemic and washing a lot more frequently than normal I decided on this model due to the larger drum capacity and added dryer. It arrived fairly promptly however did arrive with a few scratches on either side of the machine which was disappointing and the reason I’ve dropped a star. Thankfully, due to placing it underneath my kitchen counter they are not visible, though I know they’re there. It has a lot of different programmes which is useful and it is quiet when running, though noisier than my last machine when spinning. Not sure if it’s supposed to be that loud or not, but as long as I don’t do my washing late at night then it’s not too much of an issue.
We already had a washer/dryer by Samsung but needed to upgrade to a bigger better one as we had nothing but issues with the old one. The instructions were easy to follow and once the machine was in I couldn’t wait to get it on. The machine has a light inside which is so handy. I started with just a wash cycle and I couldn’t believe how much more washing fitted in this 12kg drum compared to the previous 9kg drum or how much quieter the machine was when it started and when spinning. Then I tried a wash/dry cycle which I was dreading at first to be honest as our previous Samsung machine made a really loud whirring noise when the drying cycle started and would take a minimum of 6 hours to dry 6kg of washing. I put the full 9kg of washing on the dry cycle and tried for 2 hours at first, when it had finished it was still a bit damp so put it on again and it was for 1.5hours and that did the trick. So 9kg of clothing dried in just under 4hours compared to 6kg and over 6 hours and best of all no loud whirring sound.
I have just upgraded to this from a standard washing machine. Having never owned a washer/dryer before I feel like I’m now living a life of luxury and am wondering why I didn’t make this step years ago! It’s literally a game changer and time saver! I’m loving not having to put the washing out or swap machines!
I’m loving how energy efficient this is, it makes me want to use it over and over again and it doesn’t make me feel guilty using the dryer over putting the washing out!
The large capacity of 12kg is amazing, I can fit so much in the drum it saves me having to do as many washes a week plus it’s perfect for duvets and larger items too.
There are lots of settings so it’s great for many materials and on a couple of them you can manually change the spins, rinses, temperatures etc. There are 3 different drying options which I’m still playing around with-so far i’m enjoying the options and seeing the different results.
The machine is so quiet, it’s a godsend! My washing machine was quite noisy but I often don’t even know this is really on because it is just a soft background noise.
It looks modern and the lights are actually one of my favourite features as is the steam function, I’m looking forward to testing that out on stains! The LED lights are so snazzy and the light inside the drum makes loading and unloading so much easier, especially when I have to find something to take it out etc.
I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, not just large households. Just remember to take the transportations bolts out of the back before using it like I didn’t!!!!
You won’t be disappointed-i’m showing my age here but it’s my best purchase so far this year!!!
This washer dryer has changed my life!
Having two young children I have alot of laundry, I also only have a small amount of space in my house and was unable to have a separate dryer. I would use my washing machine several times a day which in the winter months or rainy days is hard to get the clothes dry.
Now, each load I do half can go in the dryer which doesn’t take long and the other on the radiator. This cuts my laundry time down by almost half, keeping the dirty basket under control.
It is extremely quiet on both wash and dry. Quick and easy to use. Child lock on the door and on the controls.
Plus, the light on the inside of the drum entertains the little one
Overall amazing!!!
