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.

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
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
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.
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

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.

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.
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!
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

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.
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
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.

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!

Nice design. Quite straight forward and easy to use. Some handy features. Interior light, quite useful while loading and unloading, large opening is good. Getting the door open needs a good tug.
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.
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.

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!
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

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!
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 🙂
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.
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.
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.

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!
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.

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.

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!!!

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
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
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.
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

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.

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.

It’s not German brand as someone stated but Chinese. Do your research before you speak. They say it’s good but haven’t tried yet.

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.
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!
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

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.
This is a fantastic machine well worth the money and quiet. If you give a large load an extra max spin it’s almost dry! Couldn’t recommend it more.
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
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.
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!

Nice design. Quite straight forward and easy to use. Some handy features. Interior light, quite useful while loading and unloading, large opening is good. Getting the door open needs a good tug.
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.
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!
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 🙂
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.
Brilliant washing machine. Super quiet and very efficient. Feels premium too.
Superb washer/Dryer
Easy to use and does everything the ad states. Also, it’s really quiet. 5 stars from me.
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.
A super a product you won’t be disappointed in purchasing

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 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.
we have used this manchine for a couple of weeks and it works so good.
the dryer literally dry stuff!
washing is super clean.
great stuff
Great washing machine, very quiet anf has plenty of different otions.

I am really pleased with this machine, it washed very well, is quiet and dries efficiently giving a choice of three dryness.
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.
Compared to our other leading brand product we had, this is a breath of fresh air. So quiet and easy to use.

Brilliant machine had it delivered yesterday and installed today and my first wash came out excelle
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!
Very Quiet and efficient. Complicated to set till you get used to it but finding it easy now. Looks elegant too

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!
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.

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!!!
