TERRIBLE

published

It was fine until the warranty ran out then would not drain water and clothes had dirty marks all over them DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE. I have had no end of trouble with it and because it was cheap it is not worth having it fixed may as well buy a new one not this brand though

Don't buy it

published

I brought this washing machine based on CHOICE advice about 4 years ago and haven't been happy with it. I'm buying a new washing machine. The drum isn't working now. However it has never cleaned my clothes well- there is always lint and the clothes are really tangled at the end of a circle. There's a choice of about 5 cycles however only 1 works and that's 51 minutes.

Terrible stay away

published

Bought this machine a little over two years ago. Now I get error 3 and will not spin. Cheap machine and you get what you pay for. Have to pay for technician and parts. Crap service I think I will end up just throwing it out and buying a new one.

Absolutely amazing

published

Even the express cycles clean the clothes really quickly and they come out so fresh and clean. The lint capture does often need emptying but that’s not really an issue. It’s not too loud and it’s easy to set up and balance on uneven floors. Doesn’t often have unbalanced loads which is good

I'm thinking it's belt slip but gunned cost a bomb to get fixed. Anyone else have this problem. Work clothes is what I usually use. Office assistant. The clothes dryer is great. Just cant pump the water out and I'm not wringing them dry. Or emptying the bloody machine every time.

Worst machinr ever

published

Cleans clothes terribly, also rips them, stupid settings, loud as and filter bag doesn't catch anything. Have had this machine 4 years it has now totally given up the ghost. Every load it unbalances and sounds like it's going to fall apart. Also the pumps been cleaned but still won't drain properly do have to lift the lid several times a load so it resets itself.

Terrible

published

This Haier washing machine is by far the worst I've ever had. While it does clean the clothes even on the quick cycle, everything is so tangled up its almost impossible to untangle them without damaging the garments. Cheap fittings but I suppose you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend it.

Fire starter

published

Crap thing didn't even know they were recalled back in 2015 and 2016 no one rung me to tell me. I rung on 20.04.18 about it not draining the lady didn't say anything about the recall so today on the 29.04.18 the thing caught on fire lucky we were able to get the family out piece of crap. Don't plug it in.

So easy to use

published

So easy to use and quicker and more efficient than other machines I've had - would recommend this over other more well known and expensive brands and even though I haven't needed it yet he warranty is better than others so I think it is excellent value for not much money.

It's great can't live without it

published

Does a great job at cleaning clothes, doesn't wear out clothes, runs quietly, has lint filters, I love the multiple washing options, washes everything from clothes to sheets of all sizes and is really hard to throw off balance, great brand, can't fault it, great size for small families or people who live alone

Perfect and reasonable price

published

After our washing machine blow up we needed a cheap new one after just having a brand new baby the quality of the wash really mattered
And having a husband who comes home very muddy and dirty needed to be able to handle tuff washes

This is perfect washing machine does everything I wanted wouldn't change to a different brand ever again

sometimes washes ok but on spin cycle you have to chase it across the room.Appears to be out of balance possible springs not strong enough or incorrect tension. would not buy another.lint filter had to be filed to fit.now I can remove it and clean .control is reasonable to navigate. wife cannot get used to it.

Disappointing

published

Worst purchase I have ever made. Was desperate and it was cheap as chips. Clothes come out covered in grime. Filters are cleaned between every wash and machine is cleaned weekly this still doesn't help. Delicate wash destroyed new shirt that hadn't even been worn. Very disappointed with this machine.

Does a good job for the price

published

It does a good job, the only issue is it get unbalanced easily so you have to keep an eye on it. It is semi loud, like that it beeps when it's finished. It does have plenty of settings so you have plenty of control over how long it takes and what kind of wash you need.
