Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this washing machine I really like this machine, so much so I own two. Easy to use and pick the right setting, quiet and clothes have always come out clean (and some would have really pushed its limits!). Both machines have never skipped a beat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Washing Machine We purchased this machine approx 1 month ago. All we can say is that we HIGHLY recommend this machine. Money well spent! The washing selection is great so many choices, the machine is so quite, washing comes out so clean and fresh and feels almost dry from the final spin. The antibacterial function is a great feature considering the times we now live in covid, viral infections etc. Love the little song the machine plays at the end.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from WELL WORTH IT I will admit I was very hesitant about purchasing a front loader since I've grown up using a top loader. However I love this washing machine. It's very sleek, silent and washes very well. Definitely recommend !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Haier 8.5kg Front Load Washer Great washing machine, very quiet, washes very well, plenty of cycles to choose from

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the wait I bought this as a birthday present for mum as her top loader was old and needed to be replaced. Did my research and looked at different makes and models and always came back to this to one as it has all the features we need and is the right size for our household. One thing all the 8.5 kgs had in common, were, they all had the same size shallow drum.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent machine and great value Just bought this machine and very happy. Our last Bosch has lasted us 15 years, but suddenly died. This one is fantastic. Quiet, easy to use, all bells and whistles that it’s dearer siblings ha e but 1/3 of the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy Shopper! Loving my new machine. Ive never had a front loader before and was so nervous that the drum wouldnt be big enough. But it seems to fit the same amount as my old top loader so im stoked (family of 4). The price (on sale for $595) was the srong point that stood out for me and the fact it had other great reviews. Betta Electrical, Kempsey, was prompt and efficient with their delivery service. A pleasant experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great machine, great value. Great machine. Make sure when installing to remove the screws at the rear of the machine as well as the plastic plugs. They might seem like they can’t be removed but it’s essential that they are, otherwise it will make loud noises when in use. I found the quality of the plastic used on the door was not the best. It feels a lot cheaper than the more expensive models.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great washer with WIFI sync comment Great product and friendly staff. Machine works very well only comment is why would anyone want to sync their washing machine to their WIFI? Since you need to be physically near the machine to put the clothes and detergent in it you can achieve any needed choices for scheduling the wash with the time delay. The WIFI sync is an unnecessary addition in my opinion.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lovely machine Lovely machine. Nice and quite. Clothes come out nice, clean and fresh. Easy to use. Easy to set up. Love the way it looks and love how it plays a little melody when the washing is done instead of a couple of beeps. I now always know when the washing is done. I’ve used it for a few weeks now and happy with my choice. Would recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We purchased this machine and the matching reverse cycle dryer some months ago. We are really pleased with our purchase. This is our first front loader washer.It is easy to use and is very efficient. The dryer is stacked on to of the washer, easy to load and very energy efficient. Great products, would recommend them anytime.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from First time First time using a front loader, so far so good! Easy install. Instructions easy to follow. Quiet operation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Haier 8.5 Front Loader. I was desperate for a new washing machine. I searched to purchase a machine in my small budget. Betta had the ideal machine in my price range. I was so lucky. Betta only had 1 left in stock. So I quickly rushed to the store. Bang. I was able to purchase it. Ever so grateful for the unique sale. A life saver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Machine Quiet is not the word for it, absolutely quiet we weren’t sure if it was working at first. Daughters had one for years so when ours died we searched for this model and not disappointed. Say down in front of it read. Instructions and after that it’s been so easy. Now let’s see how long it last . Very pleased

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good for the price point Good for the price - the only thing it is lacking is a daily wash cycle, so I've been using the synthetic wash which does the job. The 15 quick cycle is handy for items that aren't very dirty and the child lock is easy to use. The real test will be how long it lasts in comparison to my old LG.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Took a chance and it paid off. Great washer, easy to use and holds a lot! After 1 month haven't had any issues with it. Always have a bit of a laugh at how 'excited' it gets when it is finished and plays the little jingle. It is also surprisingly quiet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so good So far it cleans the clothes really well and is super quiet, and a good size. Very happy with it, great value for money. Haven’t tried using any connected devices yet, just use the presets and they’ve all worked well so far.
