Review of the Haier HW60-BP10959A washing machine

Cleans well, steam function

I would like to share my impressions of the Haier HW60-BP10959A washing machine. Initially, we were looking at a narrow washing machine so that it would look beautiful in the bathroom. Walking around the Eldorado store, I saw the Haier HW60-BP10959A washing machine, it seemed so beautiful, elegant, just what I wanted, and as they say, it sunk into my soul). Arriving home, I began to convince my husband that I had found what we needed. Everything would be fine... Only at that time we had not yet started renovating the bathroom; moreover, we had not even chosen furniture and plumbing. But what if they buy this super car and it doesn’t wait for us? It's decided. Let's go buy. A couple of months have passed and renovations are in full swing. And here the question arises. Either install a large bathtub, but then the washing machine simply won’t fit, or install a very small bathtub. But I don’t want that either. We found a way out; the machine needs to be built into the kitchen set. But we don't have a built-in machine. And the built-in ones were much more expensive. But our narrow 37.7 centimeter beauty hid perfectly behind the doors of the kitchen unit. Happiness simply knew no bounds. With this we killed two birds with one stone: we saved space in the bathroom and saved money on a built-in washing machine.

The Haier HW60-BP10959A washing machine has an inventory motor. It can be heard several times less compared to my previous machine. The maximum load is 6 kg, we wash very often, we don’t need a large load. In general, I can say that the drum itself is quite roomy. The washing machine also has a super function: you can add laundry in the first minutes of washing. Sometimes this really helps. Control type: touch. (the button must be held for 2 seconds), the display is digital.

Before you start washing, you need to hold down the on/off button, then, by turning the program knob, you need to select the washing program you need. The indicator light for the corresponding program lights up. And hold down the start key. The machine has a retractable container with two compartments. For washing powder and conditioner.

I mostly wash without conditioner. Before starting the washing machine for the first time, you need to install the drum cleaning program and run this program without laundry, but with detergent.

Each washing program has factory settings by default. And we ourselves, depending on the composition of the laundry, the degree of its contamination, etc. We can adjust these settings using the function keys. This is very convenient for me; I use the function keys every wash and adjust the modes to suit my requirements. There are only 8 of these keys.

1. Delay start: to start the program with a delay

3. Temperature: allows you to change the washing temperature

4. Spin: change or completely disable the spin speed.

5. Extra rinse: for more intensive rinsing of laundry.

6. Steam: to select a steam program.

7. Start (pause): to start or stop the program.

8. Child lock. To enable this function, you need to simultaneously hold down the delayed start and steam keys for 3-4 seconds.

And the basic programs that it is advisable to use depending on the type and soiling of the laundry. Cotton, mixed fabrics, synthetics, children's clothing, hygiene, bed linen, wool, delicate wash, refresh, refresh 15 min, spin, drum clean. If I need to wash, say, a cotton shirt. The default temperature is 90 degrees and spin 1000 rpm. But for my shirt, using the function keys, I change the temperature by 40, and the spin by 400 revolutions, or even remove it altogether. And for bed linen, I definitely add a steam function. I really like that after using this function, the laundry dries soft and as if ironed! For delicate materials, such as fur or wool fluff, there is a “refresh 15 minutes” program. This program does not use water. If you run this program more than twice in a row, please note that condensation may form on the drum door. In this case, it should be wiped with a cloth and you can use the “refresh 15 minutes” program again. The efficiency of washing depends on the correct choice of program, on the correct sorting of laundry and on whether the machine is overloaded with laundry or not. I approach this with care and responsibility. And even with the help of the simplest washing powders, not some super expensive ones, etc., the Haier HW60-BP10959A washing machine washes things very well.

I would like to separately note the spin function. For example, if you wash a towel, at 400 rpm the machine does not wring it out enough, and a lot of moisture remains in it. And already at 600 rpm the squeeze is perfect. But for a light summer blouse, 600 revolutions is simply ruining the thing. Therefore, we definitely need to take into account what we are washing and choose the spin cycle from here. I often turn on the spin cycle separately from the wash cycle. Sometimes it really helps.

What does Haier offer?

Let me remind you that there are several types of washing machines:

Frontal (classic, with glass sunroof).
Vertical (with a top cover - for those who have problems with free space).
Compact (miniature, low-rise washers).
Narrow (with a width of up to 40 cm).
Semi-automatic (country version).

Haier only has frontal SMA, so if you want another type, this brand is definitely not for you. But it's worth reading on, maybe you'll throw out the laundry basket or extra cabinet from the kitchen, making way for one of the beauties. And to be honest, at first glance, Haier cars are beautiful, aesthetically pleasing and attractive.

This Chinese brand also has a not new, interesting, but expensive solution - SMA with two drums.

Let's go over the main characteristics that are inherent in, if not all, then most of the brand's cars (based on 12 standard models):

Capacity - 6, 7 and 8 kg, for every taste, as they say.
Maximum spin speed : from 1000 to 1400 rpm. In any case, it’s better than the “dinosaurs”, which spin up to a maximum of 800 rpm. The spin class, depending on the speed, can be C or B.
The most expensive models come with a dryer , eliminating the need to purchase a dryer.
The number of programs is from 9 to 16. The minimum is for conservative users and the maximum for advanced users.
Energy consumption . The range is wide - from B to A+++, but mostly all models come with the highest energy efficiency class, which means they are economical and will not add extra kilowatts.

All but the cheapest cars have child protection - families with curious kids can’t live without this useful option.
with the display is the same as with the protection - all but the most budget cars have it. It seems to me that a screen is simply necessary today; now almost everything has a display.

Noise level - from 71 to 78 dB. I think this is an acceptable indicator. There are no silent cars, no matter how much advertising lies to us.
The diameter of the hatch in all models is 32 cm - pushing a blanket or down jacket through such a “window” will not be a problem.

Depth can be 41, 45, 46 and 60 cm.
“ Bells and whistles ” are things that only expensive washing machines have: direct drive, inverter motor, protection against power surges (in the CIS countries this is very necessary), its own program, automatic dosing, steam washing.

General information about the Haier company: country of origin and main development milestones

This brand is a Chinese company, which is one of the young ones, since it was founded only in the 80s of the last century. To be more precise, the production itself was established much earlier, but at that time it was exclusively engaged in the production of this type of equipment. In 1984 (at that time the company was nationalized), the plant was on the verge of complete ruin, since the debt amounted to 1.4 billion yuan, the production itself was in decline. The way out of this situation was the merger of the refrigeration company with the German brand Liebherr. This made it possible to obtain new areas and capacities, which were used to manufacture updated models of refrigerators and expand the product range.

It is this period that is considered the official date of the emergence of the Haier corporation, which is currently engaged in the production of a large number of appliances, and not only household ones. The brand's catalogs contain refrigeration and freezing equipment, stoves, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, water heaters, tablets, smartphones and computers.

Translated, the brand name means “sea”, which is the best reflection of the assortment that the company offers its customers.

Currently, products under the brand name are sold in more than 160 countries around the world. Factories producing equipment are located not only in China. There are established lines in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, USA, and Africa. There is one factory in the Russian Federation that produces the brand’s products, which is based in Naberezhnye Chelny.

The company's engineers are actively developing new technologies to implement them in their products. In total, the company has almost 10 thousand patents and continues to take an active part in the development of international quality standards.

Despite the presence of our own production in Russia, on store shelves you may find products that were collected elsewhere. The country of origin should be clarified on site if there is a fundamental position on the choice of assembly region.

Who is the manufacturer?

Having browsed through the official websites of Haier and online stores - dealers of this brand, I came across the following phrases:

"World Leader"
“Haier has been the leader in the ranking among manufacturers of large household appliances for 7 years.”
"Transnational.
"One of the world's leading manufacturers of household appliances and electronics."

The list goes on, but I hope you get the idea. Laudatory speeches, but essentially it is not clear: who? where? from what country? where is the power? All this information is carefully hidden from simple-minded buyers, who will already be led by world ratings (according to the manufacturer).

Having dug deeper (just by looking at Wikipedia), I found out that Haier is a Chinese company that successfully sells its products in 160 countries around the world. I thought that the question “Where is the equipment made?” exhausted, but Google broadcasts that Haier factories are located not only in China, but also in Europe and even in the United States. There are factories in Italy and in 5 African countries (Tunisia, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and South Africa), so the brand’s geography is not bad.

I have nothing against Asian brands, many of them have long justified my trust in terms of assembly, electronics, functionality and design, but it is always confusing that information about Chinese production is so carefully hidden. Apparently, the whole point is that our buyer has a strong immunity to the word “Chinese” and the first thing the user asks when going to the store is: “Whose production?”, and the seller hastens to assure: “No, what are you talking about, this is not China! " This reaction from society is completely justified - the market is terribly cluttered with cheap consumer goods from China, which are sent to landfill every day.

What is my opinion about the Chinese company? It's simple, I have 3 criteria:

Recognition in the world . This is all right - let’s remember about 160 countries.
User reviews - this remains to be sorted out.
Brand history.

History... One-day companies that register their headquarters in the States and write about 20 years of experience immediately discourage you from buying anything from them - lie to someone else. The situation with Hayer is better - Wikipedia writes that the company was founded in 1984. Almost 35 years is a long time to mature (after all, people are elected to the presidency at the age of 35), so let’s give this brand a chance and see what it offers us.

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:

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:

Which Haier machine is better to buy?

Popular models of washing machines are good in all basic criteria, so the choice should be focused on your own preferences. Thus, the HW100-B14876 model is the most spacious, these are best taken for a large family or for a small commercial enterprise, for infrequent use. And if you need to choose the most compact and economical one, you should pay attention to the HW60-BP12929AS, with its modest dimensions and high energy efficiency.

If price is not the main criterion, any model with the Smart Dual Spray function will do. Innovative technology washes the cuff in a special way, eliminating the formation of mold. The advantage for the user is that there is no need to manually clean the rubber seals; the equipment will do everything itself.

It was no coincidence that our editors drew attention to the popular Chinese brand. Among the wide range, the best Haier washing machines were selected, which are more in demand among customers in 2022.

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:

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

Rules for choosing the optimal washing machine

The line of this manufacturer is quite extensive, therefore, in order to make the best choice, an interested person needs to take into account quite a large number of nuances.

These include:

maximum loading volume;
type of control, as well as the number of installed programs, availability of those needed by the future owner;
additional options;
safety;
Dimensions of equipment.

Another important indicator is traditionally the loading format, but, as already indicated, the Haier concern only produces products with a horizontal hatch.

Future owners of one of the Haier models must determine the maximum loading volume before purchasing. Since this characteristic makes it possible to buy the best option without overpaying for performance.

This is easy to do - for example, if you plan to wash only ordinary things, linen, and your family is small, then a unit that can handle a load of 5-6 kg will be sufficient.

Hayer offers consumers washing machines with both electromechanical and touch controls. For now, the assortment is dominated by units with buttons and a rotary control device

When it is necessary to clean a large number of terry products, pillows, all kinds of duvets or equipment from contamination, it must serve the needs of a considerable number of people, then the maximum load should be no less than 7-8 kg.

In addition, for the latter case, Haier produces a two-drum machine that is ready to accept up to 12 kg of things.

If the buyer is interested in purchasing the most simple and reliable model, then you should take a closer look at units with mechanical control. They are controlled by turning levers, and there is no display in the design.

This makes cars of this type cheaper to purchase and repair. In addition, this type of control is easier to understand, especially for those people who are familiar with technology.

The simplest mechanical command apparatus is considered the easiest to learn and control. In addition, it is less sensitive to moisture and is less likely to fail

But in this case, the owners will have minimal participation in the washing process, since mechanically controlled machines are equipped with a minimum number of programs and functions.

The latter fact will not appeal to advanced users who, in order to get maximum results, want to adjust operating modes and have a large number of preset functions.

They will need a unit with intelligent control that allows the owner to actively participate in programming.

The Wave drum is installed on most Haier clippers sold today. Its surface helps prevent contact of laundry with metal, which significantly reduces wear and tear on fabric fibers

Additional features and special programs are convenient because they allow you to expand the functionality of washing machines.

For example, the presence of steam treatment will be useful for families with children, as it destroys all kinds of bacteria and additionally smoothes out wrinkles, so clothes are easy to iron.

Special programs for allergy sufferers and washing children's clothes will make it possible to completely remove powder from cleaned laundry. And the “Sportswear” mode will allow you to get rid of odors and dirt on things used for an active lifestyle.

The safety of a washing machine is always an important aspect when choosing - Haier takes this point into account by equipping its equipment with sensors that detect leakage.

But the buyer should pay attention to the fact that in some of the newest models this function is considered additional, for which you will need to pay extra.

The innovative PillowDrum is one of the latest developments by Haier engineers. It allows you to wash all kinds of fabrics as delicately as possible.

All equipment sold by the presented manufacturer is equipped with protection against children, who will not be able to make adjustments to the work or open the hatch.

At the same time, Haier machines do not have sensors that detect high foam content. Which, in exceptional cases, can lead to car breakdown, flooding of housing and neighbors.

Comments

I have a cleaning mode in my machine, I run it empty with washing gel or there are special tablets for washing machines and dishwashers. It's all written in my instructions.

I have a hairdresser, but a slightly different model. Everything is written in the instructions. See "cleaning the drum" or something similar.

There is no such point, I re-read this instruction 10 times. I even found it on the Internet. Well, it’s not written there that the machine gives a signal and it’s like, come on mother, I’ll clean myself))) there’s a recommendation to clean it once every 2-3 months and that’s it, one paragraph!!)))

This is drum cleaning. Launches once every 2 months. Do not put clothes in the drum under any circumstances, because the drum will operate at maximum speed, and the water will be at maximum degrees. Don’t add any powder, otherwise the foam will come out of all the cracks. If you want to clean a drum with a special tool for drums, then set strictly the mode that is indicated on the tool! I hope it helped.

I launched it))))) and also called to ask. basically like you, they said press it, it won’t take off
