Washing machine "Haier": reviews from customers and specialists

A short introduction

Customer reviews of Haier washing machines with vertical and front loading methods make it clear that both designs are as convenient as possible. All washing machines mainly belong to the budget class. However, they have a luxurious appearance. The same can be said about the technical characteristics.

Most washing machines are capable of washing about 8 kg of laundry in one cycle. Due to the fact that some models are narrow, while others, on the contrary, are larger, you can choose the right model for any apartment. Some products are also equipped with a dryer. As stated in the reviews, devices from Haier do not break down for almost the entire warranty period. There are some shortcomings, but they are not stable.

Advantages and disadvantages

According to users, the steaming option is very convenient. It allows you to cope with any stains, on white, black and colored things. Let's tell you what advantages and disadvantages this function has.

Advantages of the Steam Treatment program:

• low water consumption;
• the ability to save on powder and other laundry detergents;
• the ability to avoid pre-soaking heavily soiled clothing;
• complete antibacterial treatment of items;
• things do not get completely wet, so drying them requires a minimum of time, even at room temperature;
• ability to cope with any odors from clothes;
• the ability to refuse ironing, since no folds or creases remain on steamed items;
• the ability to delicately process the most “capricious” fabrics such as silk and wool;
• steam performs antibacterial treatment not only on things, but also on the surface of the drum, which guarantees getting rid of any microorganisms that have “settled” in the machine;
• 2in1 washing machines can be used for combined care of things: standard washing and subsequent disinfection.

The disadvantages of machines with a steam option include:

• higher cost of 2 in 1 washing machines (on average, such machines cost from 30 to 80 thousand rubles);
• limited range of models equipped with a steam generator.

Therefore, if your budget is unlimited, it is better to pay attention to washing machines with a steam option. This feature has many more advantages than disadvantages. Many users have appreciated the program and cannot imagine how they managed without it before.

Haier Company

This company appeared in 1984. Country of origin: China. Among all the products you can find not only washing machines, but also computers, televisions, refrigerators and so on. In fact, this company was founded in the early twenties of the 20th century. However, it was registered as a legal entity much later. During the first years of activity, the company was engaged in the creation of refrigerators. In the same 1984, the company began to go bankrupt, so it was decided to give it to a Chinese leader. Then it received its current name and began to produce a wide range of equipment.

Haier's main goal is to create reliable and high-quality equipment that can be purchased at a low cost. Over time, judging by the reviews of specialists about Haier washing machines, in fact, the assembly of the device has become much better. Now factories have been opened not only in China, but also in the USA, the Philippines, Malaysia and so on. There is also a Russian branch. Its location is Naberezhnye Chelny.

Advantages of washing machines

Of course, we should describe the general advantages of Haier washing machines. Only in this way can the buyer understand whether a given manufacturer is suitable for him, and only then can he begin to choose the right model for himself.

Most of the buyers in the reviews state that these washing machines work economically. They consume not only a small amount of electricity during the entire cycle, but also water. The washing quality is good. This indicator is currently receiving quite positive reviews. Most washing machines are capable of washing down jackets and children's clothing perfectly.

As for the dimensions, most washing machines are small in size, so they can be installed in small apartments. Considering that most of the appliances have good capacity but narrow dimensions, many buyers really praise this appliance.

Also noteworthy is the low noise level. There is, of course, vibration, but it is practically inaudible. The motor is connected to the drum, which reduces the amount of noise.

The engine warranty is usually 12 years.

The control of all machines is as simple as possible, since the software interface is as clear as possible. There are a large number of programs, the shortest of which lasts 15 minutes. There is an option in the software that can itself determine the amount of powder and water used. Accordingly, in the end it will not turn out that many things after washing will remain soapy and will not wash out.

The price of the device is adequate. You can buy the cheapest models for 25 thousand rubles, and the most expensive for 70 thousand. Most buyers, judging by the comments, praise this ratio. The warranty period for each machine is 3 years.

Buy a Haier washing machine or basic selection criteria

There are generally accepted criteria on the basis of which a particular washing machine is selected. These parameters will affect not only ease of use, but also cost.

It should be understood that the presence of the maximum amount of functionality leads to a significant increase in the cost of equipment. Haier equipment is distinguished by its affordable price, but the most advanced models can reach a cost of 70 thousand rubles.

Dimensions and loading volume

It should be immediately noted that the company produces models only with a horizontal loading method. If you need to purchase a vertical washing machine, then you will have to choose from the range of other companies. In terms of overall dimensions, washing machines from a Chinese manufacturer can satisfy any needs. The company's engineers were able to create washing machines that, with a shallow depth, can load up to 6-7 kg of dry laundry. The average size is the traditional 60x60x85 cm. There are narrow models where the width is only 45 cm, and you can load 6 kg.

The line of washing machines also includes very large machines intended for large families or use in small organizations that require washing workwear. This is the HW120-B1558 model, which is equipped with two drums at once, which together allow you to load up to 12 kg of laundry. This is very convenient when washing colored and white laundry at the same time. The dimensions of this machine are 60x60x128 cm, which requires a special place to accommodate it.

Type of control and number of programs

Another parameter that users pay attention to is the number of preset washing modes or programs and control features.

According to experts, in 2022, Haier washing machines with a combined control type will be the most popular. The combination lies in the presence of an intelligent electronic type for selecting basic parameters and a rotary control knob for selecting the desired washing program.

Some users highlight the lack of a display as a disadvantage of budget models of washing machines from Haier, which is inconvenient for monitoring the washing process.

It should be borne in mind that such a drawback leads to a reduction in the cost of the unit, and also allows people who are not very friendly with technology to quickly understand the washing mode. Also, cars with a minimum amount of electronics are easier to repair and do not break down as often. The presence of mechanical control means that the machine is equipped with a minimum number of programs. In general, all washing machines of the brand have the necessary functions, including a fast, delicate wash mode, and preset options for washing various types of fabrics.

Additional options

Since one of the leitmotifs of the company’s management is the use of innovative developments, many models have additional options.

It should be borne in mind that any unnecessary settings lead to an increase in the cost of equipment and also complicate the process of its use.

Antibacterial treatment system

Advanced models of the brand are equipped with an innovative system called ATM. This is a special technology that allows you to avoid the appearance of fungus and mold inside the sealing collar, as well as the tray for placing detergent. These are exactly the places where water can remain, leading to the growth of bacteria and mold. Based on research conducted by the German WFK Institute, it was concluded that the ATM system, which is used in Haier washing machines, is much more effective than similar technologies from other brands.

Steam treatment

A feature called Steam+Fresh. It involves simultaneously treating dirty laundry not only with water, but also with a jet of steam. Such a system allows you to achieve efficiency in removing heavy stains, give things freshness, cope with odors, and completely get rid of detergent residues.

The Hyer washing machine with steam, according to reviews, provides higher quality washing. All washing machines with index 758 are equipped with similar technology, in particular, the HW60-BP12758 model, which has an A+++ energy consumption class, has a load of 6 kg of dry laundry, and has an inverter-controlled motor, which extends its service life. The cost of this junior model in the line is 28,900 rubles.

Other innovations

Mid-price models have additional innovations that make using the machines more comfortable. Among the innovations used by the company are:

• Smart Detection . A function that allows you to automatically determine water hardness to adjust the supply of detergent composition and water;
• Dual Spray . An option that is used to keep the seal clean. During washing, two streams of clean water are directed onto the cuff, which ensures the absence of detergent residues, lint, and foam;
• Wave-system . This is the name of the new drum, which has a reduced perforation size with high-quality performance that looks like a “wave”. This ensures soft sliding of laundry at high speeds.

Purchasing a modern washing machine from Haier, which is equipped with many additional options, is not an empty investment, but a quality home assistant.

Flaws

Reviews about Haier washing machines are not only positive. There are also negative sides. What are people saying?

It happens that machines become faulty before the expiration of the warranty period, even though the level of care for them is adequate. This noticeably adds to the unpleasant feeling of use. Unfortunately, although the world is trying to reduce human participation in many production processes to a minimum, when it comes to washing machines, this, on the contrary, is a pretty bad idea.

Unfortunately, the buyer cannot choose the spin power or rinse mode. It should be noted that the latter function, in principle, is not provided. Sometimes there may be some powder left after rinsing. This is why many buyers repeat the wash cycle. Because of this, all economy, in principle, becomes questionable. Due to the fact that you cannot change the spin speed of things, if the drum speed is too high, if they are delicate, they will deteriorate quite quickly. In general, this is where the negative reviews about Haier washing machines end. Next, we will look directly at the most popular models.

Haier washing machines: advantages and disadvantages

Any technique has its own advantages and weaknesses, which can be decisive when choosing a specific model in the store. The main advantages of Haier washing machines, according to reviews from customers and experts in the field of household appliances, can be considered:

• economical performance. Almost all units have an A+ or A++ energy consumption level and are equipped with a water saving system, which, when used, allows for a reduction in utility costs;
• high quality washing. One of the advantages of machines from Haier, according to user reviews, is the presence of a washing mode for children's clothes, which provides the required level of cleanliness while treating things with delicacy;
• variability of overall dimensions. The company produces narrow and wide machines, which are distinguished by their spaciousness, which is very important in conditions of limited space;
• low level of noise generated. Haier washing machines, according to reviews, operate almost silently, producing slightly higher performance during centrifugation;
• functionality and innovative approach. The brand’s washing machines are equipped with a large number of programs and functions, among which there is even an option for calculating powder based on the washing mode and water quality.

Among the important advantages are a 3-year warranty on the machine itself and a 12-year warranty on the electric motor.

Despite the large number of positive aspects, units from Haier have their drawbacks, which are mostly subjective. But they must be taken into account when choosing technology:

• Some models may tear things during the spin process, carried out at high speeds;
• sometimes there is insufficient rinsing quality, which requires running an additional cycle;
• more budget models are distinguished by a small number of programs;
• failure of the washing machine before the expiration of the warranty period. But this is most often observed in the presence of a manufacturing defect.

Haier HW60-1211N

The washing machine is distinguished by the fact that it is quiet, has a good spin and pleases customers with its assembly. Many people also like the cost. In addition, reviews of the washing machine note that it has many simple and affordable washing options, which uses little electricity. The drum is good, the spin speed is 1200 rpm, which is enough to wash even a down jacket. However, if we are talking about delicate things, then there is a possibility that the drum will damage their structure when spinning. It should be noted that in general, reviews of the Haier HW60-1211N washing machine are positive.

HW60-1029

This device is a little noisy and may rattle when the minimum spin setting is set. It also happens that in situations where the machine should make noise, it works quietly. Because of this, there are also negative reviews. It should be noted that, in principle, the characteristics of the device are not bad. However, when reading the reviews, you should think about whether this device is worth purchasing. The Haier 1029 washing machine receives controversial reviews. It has few functional modes and may experience problems before the warranty period ends. There are reviews about this device, which describe that not only the washing process is bad, but also the washing itself, since when working, for example, with the delicate mode, no stains are washed.

Haier HW60-BP12758

Customer reviews of the Haier washing machine HW60-12758 are positive. Most buyers like the purchase. The design of the device is stylish, the machine is very quiet, and has a steam function. Few people find any downsides.

The washing quality is good. If, nevertheless, you are a little picky about your work, you will notice that sometimes the machine does not completely wash off the powder. And those people who bought the latest models created in 2022 may notice that the rubber seal has begun to emit an unpleasant odor. This is due to the fact that the material from which it is made has changed. The manufacturer is aware of this problem and has indicated that it will resolve it soon.

In general, the machine is quite popular at the moment; such models are quickly sold out in stores. It is really good to use and is a specialist's choice (2017). Reviews of Haier washing machines, especially this one, can really impress many.

Haier HW60-1082S

Another successful washing machine. It is part of a series of narrow ones. In one cycle, it can easily wash about 6 kg of laundry. The spin power is about 1 thousand revolutions per minute. It should be noted that the device has 12 washing modes. To use this device as efficiently as possible, you need to pay attention to what type of fabric will be washed. You should choose the necessary mode yourself, which will allow you to remove stains. Consumers in reviews of the Haier washing machine write that this device is useful and shows an excellent ratio of quality and price. You can purchase this device for 30 thousand rubles.

Model overview

I propose to consider 5 models:

• The cheapest one.
• The shallowest one.
• Standard depth 60 cm.
• The most expensive one.
• With two reels.

In this section you will get acquainted with customer reviews, which are presented in the form of pros and cons. These are not my thoughts, but information based solely on consumer opinions.

Go!

HW 60-1010AN - the cheapest model

Main characteristics:

I wouldn’t buy it for myself - I don’t like the design, there aren’t enough programs, that’s enough to make me look for another machine. But for those who don’t care what the equipment looks like - as long as it washes, and doesn’t need a lot of modes, this option is suitable.

Pros:

• Big load.
• All necessary washing modes.
• Removes old stains well.
• Compact.
• It doesn't shake when it wrings out.
• Price = quality.
• Squeezes well.
• There is a quick wash.
• Fits large items (pillow, blanket).
• Consumes little water.

Minuses:

• It makes noise when spinning.
• Design.
• There is no separate rinse program.
• You cannot set the washing temperature.

HW 60-BP12758 - shallow

Model Description:

Quite adequate SMA - and nothing to add.

Pros:

• It washes well.
• Doesn't make noise.
• "Aquastop" included.
• Good capacity.
• You can add the number of rinses (up to 5), change the temperature.
• Touch buttons.
• There is a delayed start.
• Automatic calculation of washing time depending on the weight of the laundry.
• Pause at the beginning of the wash to add forgotten items or take something out of your pockets.

Cons (quotes):

• “He doesn’t make coffee in the morning.”
• “Hell melodies. At the end of the wash, a very long, obnoxious Chinese melody plays.”

HW60-1229AS – with wide hatch

Spacious, beautiful, economical - you can consider it as a contender for purchase.

Pros:

• Intelligent control with display.
• Special programs, eg Wool.
• Delayed start up to 24 hours.
• The hatch, with a diameter of 32 cm, opens 180°.
• Silver body.

Minuses:

• Partial protection against leaks.

HWD 80-B14686 - the most expensive

I would also like to mention the design - I personally really like it. Large display, stylish loading hatch, beautiful metal mode switch, interesting elongated button panel at the bottom. From a design point of view, this model is my favorite.

Let's find out what's inside:

Oops! The most expensive machine, and the energy efficiency class is only B - not only does it cost 2 washing machines, but it “eats” much more. But it has other “buns” - a stainless steel heating element, steam washing, all types of control, protection from children and leaks, its own program, dryer, direct drive and inverter motor. If you look at analogues with such characteristics from German or American manufacturers, you won’t get such functionality for less than 100,000 rubles.

Pros:

• 5 year warranty (if purchased from an official store).
• Automatic weighing.
• Quote: “Space design - this glow is really beautiful, cats love to watch.”
• Quote: “The thing for flushing water from the bottom of the rubber seal really works.”
• Almost any mode can be adjusted.

Minuses:

• Overpriced for Chinese production.

HW60-10636A – new

Here I wanted to review a model with two drums, but these expensive and impractical “beauties” began to disappear from sale for obvious reasons. Therefore, I propose a new product, which differs from its predecessors, however, only in design, and the set of functions and options, one might say, is standard and in some ways even weaker.

The good thing is that the SMA has a fairly large hatch (32 cm) with an opening of 180 degrees. It is not clear whether it has child protection or what type of protection against leaks, but it is unlikely that 20,000 rubles will have all this. But the design follows the latest canons of “household-technical” fashion - a stylish sunroof, a large display, an ergonomic program selector. The model has not yet earned any good reviews, because it recently entered the market - wait for additions or write your own opinion in the comments.

That's all. We learned about its washing machines, their capabilities and prices. User reviews personally always help me buy good equipment - they have never let me down. Draw your own conclusions, good luck!

Haier HW60-12266AS

This washing machine is designed for 6 kg of dry laundry. Spinning uses new technology, so now it can be done as carefully as possible. You can purchase this machine from 24 thousand rubles. The washing machine makes virtually no noise, judging by the reviews. It also washes well, copes with children's clothes and heavily soiled ones.

Most consumers notice that it has an increased level of security. The most common errors with this washing machine is that sometimes, when there is good water pressure, it indicates that there is no water pressure. Also, sometimes the machine does not see the power and distributes things incorrectly throughout the drum. However, such problems rarely arise, so most buyers recommend the device for purchase.

How does this supplement work?

In appearance, Haier washing machines with a steam supply option are no different from machines without this function. They just have an additional element in their design - a steam generator. Cold water is supplied to the device from the communications, where the liquid is heated and turns into steam.

The steam generator has a powerful heating element that quickly brings water to a boil, thereby supplying steam to the drum of the washing machine.

The operation of the steam generator is controlled by the SMA control module. It is the block that gives the signal to open or close the valves, focusing on the washing program specified by the user. On some models, it is possible to regulate the temperature of the steam jet, which makes it possible to process even delicate fabrics in this way.

What is the point of such an addition? Steam penetrates fabric fibers faster than water, promotes accelerated dissolution of laundry detergents, and easily copes with stains and unpleasant odors. In addition, hot air has a disinfecting effect, which is very important when treating children's things and clothes of people prone to allergies.

The use of steam allows you to abandon the use of household chemicals - various stain removers and concentrates. Or at least reduce their consumption. Using this option, you can not only deal with heavy soiling, but also carefully refresh almost clean clothes.
