    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought this machine because of the positive reviews online. Its looks good, has easy to understand touch controls and dial and good size drum. However, what stands out is the noise or lack of. I was amazed how quiet this machine is, in wash mode you just hear the splashing of the water and in full spin is quieter than my kettle!

    Brilliant piece of kit, lots of options although the smart wash is definitely my most used choice. Completely drys clothing aslong as you set it correctly. The only slight downside is adding something you feel doesn’t take as long to dry as the rest of your wash means resetting the program, removing the item and manually setting the dry time but that’s more a me problem

    After my Hoover dryer quit working we did lots of research and kept coming back to this brand. I’m so glad we did. There are so many settings and all of them are useful. I love that you can control everything with an app as well as a keep fresh so your clothes don’t wrinkle up if you are unable to get your clothes out straight away. I also love the fact it tells you that some of your lighter weight clothes are dry so you can get them out of the dryer and not over dry them. My favourite feature is the lint collector which is large and double layered so our clothes come out lint and dog hair free which is a miracle when you have a high shedding husky.

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic washing machine, so quiet it's nearly unbelievable!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI 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

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI read a lot of reviews and watched some videos before purchasing this machine. It’s a big investment for me after all. The quality of the wash cycle is great. Compared to the machine I replaced it with. The washing smells so fresh and clean. I was concerned about the reviews regarding the drying cycle and was worried about using it. Some reviews said the clothes either get burned to a crisp or weren’t dry enough. So I tested it out on something I wasn’t worried about ruining. I had nothing to worry about. I just set the machine to the 30 minute auto timer and the clothing was perfectly dry, crease free and unaffected. The touch screen and dial control is so intuitive. Options are perfect for selecting the type of wash and dry cycle that suits you. Especially if time is of the essence. I live in an open space type of apartment and the things that really amazed me was just how quiet this appliance is. The build quality is super sturdy and was so easy to install. There’s also a 10 year guarantee. A very satisfied customer here.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter owning a washer and dryer, I can’t believe how quiet this machine is. OK, the clothes may need a little linger on the drying cycle but its so quiet on wash or dry. It’s bloody good.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersReally 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!

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersBought 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!

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersBought 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersGreat 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.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersWas 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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good

    Golden Review Award: 54 From Our UsersCompared 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.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI 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.

    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.

    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

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI decided to give it a go, was not sure although it was a good and well known brand.
    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.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersSo 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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersNice 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.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersUPDATED Oct 2023: had this machine for 2 years. About three months ago the auto dryer function started acting weirdly, adding a lot of extra time to dry just a small load; stuff was dry but the machine thought it had to keep going, often for hours so could only use the fixed drying time option. Had engineers out three times, they replaced various circuit boards but nothing worked. Finally it was fixed by replacing the whole dryer heater unit. It turned out it was blocked with fluff and this was throwing off the sensors hence it not being able to tell if stuff was dry or not. The unit is completely sealed so cannot be opened to clear it of fluff. Fortunately it was under warranty so the fix was free but now I know what to expect in two years time. It’s a fault in the design – my old Hotpoint never had that issue after 9 years – but I will keep the machine as I do really like it otherwise and my review below still stands though I have knocked off a star.

    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!

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersWe 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.

    Golden Review Award: 26 From Our UsersI 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!!!
