worst machine i have ever brought
i had a 7.5 kg before, i brought this 8kg machine, put my comferter in the machine, It melted on the top of the wash bowl, Haier let me swap it for a different one, But will not replace the price of my comforter, AS the email they sent me said that i did not read the manual, That you can not put in a sleeping bag, comforter, blanets, to wash, AS it was not over loaded, i have never had a washing machinethat had melted any thing to the wash bowl,
Purchased in September 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$600.00.

Water level headache
All works well except the water level is very low,just found that once starting cycle to change it to max amount of water.otherwise have to wait 2hours for cycle to stop.Did not think this would be an issue but it is.

Rip off !!!
Bought this 3 months ago already playing up.Says 8kg but can't even get a single duvet in without it coming out ripped! Has ripped many clothes and most reviews have the same damn problem E1 -E2 The booklet don't tel you how to unblock you have to come online so those who don't have internet won't know!! Second w/machine from them I had no choice ( Not my choice ) but I had to pay for it.The other machine had same problem. Within 2 years of owning that one 3 call outs.And btw it's not quiet either. If I had a choice I would not buy a haier machine crap like their phones.

Great model
Very user friendly, and washes the clothes perfectly. I purchased this as a replacement for my mother's old model. Very easy to operate so extremely important for seniors that are not technology geeks. Mum is thrilled to bits, and even likes the outside appearance which she leaves uncovered - no doilies required...

Worst purchase ever
I have had this machine for less than 2 years and I have had the repair man out 3 times. First time the belts was loose, second loose again and now I have a burning rubber smell and the machine won’t spin.
I do at least 1 load of washing a day and sometimes up to 3 a day, I thought with the parent company of Fisher & Paykel it would be a pretty good machine for the price, but I was wrong.
The water level is always that little bit too low and I have to manually increase the water level. It has a 10 minute cycle and then the next cycle is 45 minutes with nothing in between.
When it did spin, the clothes came out nice and dry so that was a bonus.
Was big enough for a single doona or a set of queen size sheets.

Unfit for purpose
No matter the size of the load it always selects the lowest water level. However this is the least of it's problems as I am able to adjust the level. What is infuriating is that if there is a sheet or towel in the load it wraps everything up in a tight tangled ball inside the towel or sheet. The serviceman has told me sheets, ideally one at a time, need to be washed separately. Towels also need to be washed separately from smalls. This is totally impractical in my household. Despite adjusting the load it spins intermittently so even doing an extra spin the load is still very wet. Going by one ruined merino (previously machine washed many times) and the amount of lint in the catchers this machine is very hard on clothes.

Worst washing machine I had in my entire life
We purchased this machine in MAY 2018 from Harvey Norman, it should not get ANY stars.
It is sooooo annoying you can not wash one load without swearing. No matter which cycle its on as soon as it start to spin it reset itself back to 13 minutes or which ever cycle its on. It NEVER finishes a load. I stand next to it and as soon as it start spinning for the first time I have to take the load out. I had a technician out and they say it re-balance itself and start the process AGAIN. If you leave it, it will wash ALL day on one load. I hate this machine, after 35 years this was the first and the last one, sometimes I feel like throw it out the door -do not buy this machine.

Average washing machine. Good for price.
Our previous washing machine was only partially working. Came up with many errors so took ages to do a load. So we wanted to buy a new one without breaking the bank. This was a cheap buy being made in Thailand i think. Works good and has a good warranty. Only thing is it is a little noisy.

Solid washing machine, no real problems
So it's relatively quiet and seems to work pretty well in terms of cleaning my clothes. The only thing is that it does tend to get imbalanced pretty easily if you have heavy fabrics in the machine. I haven't been using it long enough that I can definitively say whether it wears clothes out or not. I do find that it's a bit annoying that dust and lint gets between the lid and the sides of washing machine next to the tub itself. I always forget to clear out the little lint trap inside the washing machine as well. It's a bit odd that there's a lint trap in a washing machine for me, since it's not like it's really decreasing the lint building up in the dryer, at least based on what I've seen..

Read the instruction book before you buy
The illustrated capacity(eg. 7.5kg) is to be various based on the wash programme you got set. It could be as low as 2kg for some programmes. This is my first front-load washing machine, I'm not sure this is specific issue for Haier or it is common for this kind of washing machine.

Does a good job
Cleans our clothes brilliantly and Spins them very well the only niggle is that when you open the lid it has like a very very loud click but its only a small distraction.
I would recommend The Haier to anyone who is price conscious and wants good value for their money.
