Efficient, economical and beautiful.
It dries well. Easy to access and empty water reservoir and lint trap. It’s not silent but not excessively loud either.
Nothing to complain about other than delivery taking 2 weeks longer than advised. I got a bargain on prime deal days so I didn’t mind waiting a little longer for it to arrive.
good price came on time looks good and more importantly compared to our old one is very quiet only time will tell on its overall functionality but so far great love it.
Simple one of the best washing machines I have ever used. We like to spend time in our kitchen and this machine is so quiet it’s nearly unbelievable. In a previous rented accommodation I was lucky enough to have an LG Direct Drive washing machine and was very impressed, I hadnt really heard of Haier but thought I would take a chance since Amazon had this at such a great price especially for a Direct Drive washing machine!
First and foremost, if you have never had a direct drive and you are looking for a new washing machine then this has to be at the top of your requirements list. It is so quiet, hardly shakes or rumbles on a full cycle, we can sit in the kitchen and easily have a normal conversation. The machine itself looks stunning, the controls are easy and intuitive and has everything you’d ever need and the drum is a decent size. The LED lit drum is also great, very handy for spotting the odd missing item lurking away at the back when emptying and overall just makes the appliance look more premium. It is also quite narrow in regards to depth which made it very easy to install, we don’t have a large space so this fitted in a lot better than our old one.
It washes our clothes perfectly as you’d expect, but to be fair most washing machines do this pretty well. Its cycle time is certainly quicker than our old machine which is another great benefit, I like how you can adjust the cycle time to your needs. Even though I hadn’t really heard of Haier I was able to register for a 5 year parts and labour warranty as this appliance is part of their selected range on the additional warranty scheme which makes this even better value for money!
Overall, this is a fantastic alternative to an LG Direct Drive that offers some great unique features. We have been using for a few weeks now and I would not hesitate in recommending this, everything is perfect so far, hopefully we will have many years of happy washing.
I have not been disappointed – it’s quiet, reliable and so easy to use.
Would definitely recommend this brand
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 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
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
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!
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.
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 has auto weight function , so depending on your load it corrects the time needed for drying. Machine itself is pretty quiet. You have quick connect hose to put straight into the drain, so no need of emptying water from dryer after every cycle. You have great shoe rack to use aswell!
* I have purchased the item in December. The delivery date was given and it did not arrive on that day. When item finally got delivered it arrived broken (it was something wrong with fan). It took some time for exhange to happen, I had to have an engineer out to take a look at the item before i could do a replacement order. Replacement order took over 2 weeks to arrrive (due to stock issues). After all item was exchanged and i am very pleased with it, but the whole process of doing it was not a great experience..
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.
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.
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
It is so quiet and easy to use. Very useful on small house.
Easy to install and washes very good even thou for a long time
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 sand brand and LOVE THAT TOO!
easy to install and quite a lot quiter than last wahe
Zero noise even when on spin cycle. Touch controls fantastic. Easy to use machine.
It was quite noisy at the beginning, but after a few uses the noise level has gone down a lot and it is quieter now. I love it.
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.
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.

It wasn’t cheap, but we’re glad we made the investment. Virtually silent, a big drum and everything is lovely and clean delighted
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
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
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
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 drier. Does what you need at a good price
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.
Its in a different class to my previous one, it’s very well made ‘solid’,silent and easy to use just buy it.
I love everything about this machine. Above all it looks good. Easy to use. Noise level is minimal. Very happy purchase.
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.
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.
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
DMachine is really quiet, even when spinning a load of towels. It’s got flexibility with programs and I’ve found a couple I use all the time. Would be good if you could do a custom setting and it stored that as it defaults back to basics, not even retaining the last used standard program. But overall I am very happy with it.
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!
I would suggest to choose the installation option in the “service options”, I did not see the one fits me, so I chose standard, but it turned out the guys who delivered would not install it for me. (A total shock!) they just unpacked and removed the simple package (it did not come in the full box but plastic wrap and some pieces of protection). one of the guy was nice, he advised me to contact Amazon customer service and buy separate service, or I could order to return then re-order.
However, having contacted Amazon Customer Service, they did not have sufficient installation services. I had looked everywhere online and in the borough, not many options as Haier is not majorly within the service scope. So I decided to call Haier customer service to see if they could guide me or perhaps they have such services.
The lady at Haier customer service was very kind, who advised me that if I follow the steps on manual, I could also install it myself as she had done herself, she said “if I could do it, everyone could do it too, so not to worry, it is not hard”, I was happy, just worried if I would do something wrong. So having read manual repeatedly and went through youtube Haier videos, made it! I was quite proud of myself that it worked.
Having used it quite a few times in the first week, the washing noise level surprised me. It was quiet especially when it was spinning at the last stage. Previously living in house sharing, the washing machine shook quite bad and made noise when spinning. But this one is quiet.
Definitely recommended to purchase, however, it would be ideal to have 5 years warranty to be honest. Currently I think it is only 2 years.
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.
Love this washer dryer. Had bad experiences with other online appliance groups but no complaints with this one. So long as you follow manufacturers instructions and take out the transport rods everything should be just fine.
I love the interface. It looks cool. Not too noisy. A wash dry takes a seriously long time and will keep amending the time throughout but generally everything comes out dry. Occasionally if some clothes got tangled in a corner of a bed sheet they might not be fully dry but otherwise really good.
Its often quicker to do a wash then a dry rather than a wash dry cycle but i often put my laundry in before i go to bed on a wash dry cycle so it’s all clean and dry for the morning. Quiet enough to sleep through with it downstairs.
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.
Impressive bit noisy even with the foam strips in place that where supplied with machine. In the end quietened down when placed strip of wood between top of machine and work top and down side between machine and unit. Other wise love it even kids know how to use this one its so straight forward.
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!
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.
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!!!
