Rated 1 out of 5 by from LOAD OF RUBBISH Bought this washer 25.03.22 (not 2 years old yet) as I specifically wanted a non-agitator machine. (had used this type of machine since 2000 and never had any trouble. This machine was to replace a 10kg Fisher Paykel I had used for over 10 years & could not replace with the same type. This Haier machine does not spin enough water out of clothes, stinks (even after drum clean used) and is constantly stopping (unbalancing) & adding water to balance the load! NOT a water saving device as claimed! Yesterday a half hour quick wash took 1 hour due to this fact. I ended up taking a couple of items out of washer & turning water off to spin the load! DO NOT BUY THIS WASHER - IT IS A LOAD OF RUBBISH. I am going back to Fisher Paykel & looking at a front loader! Note: this machine was to service a family of two and has been well looked after - the plastic sheet is still on the lid!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst washing machine ever Have only been using it just over a week. Clunks, groans, tangles items, unbalances continually and resets itself whilst doing it. Can take 4hrs for one load. Calling customer service. Unfortunately I had it in storage from brand new until I could set it up so the battle begins for a new machine

Rated 1 out of 5 by from horrible I bought this machine in Aug 2022 & hated it from day one, DO NOT WASH BLACK OR DARK CLOTHES IN IT AS THEY COME OUT LOOKING FILTHY WITH LOTS OF FLUFF & SOAP SCUM EVEN IF WASHED ON THEIR OWN. Wash cycles are so slow in between cycles, wash, spin. The machine is dirty inside after full wash cycle & seems to hold the dirty water at the below the wash tub. Putting the machine on to clean the tub uses hot water only & takes 2hrs which I cannot afford the cost of power to do it so I try to rinse it by hose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it!! This machine makes me glad my last machine died!! This washing machine is sooooo quiet. I often go and check it hasnt stopped for some reason. It is smaller overall (but the same size!) than the last one. It gives out a nice loud beep at the end of the wash. The 2 big lint filters are so effective and easy to remove, clean out and put back in. The only thing that I would improve is my childrens ability to use it so I don't have to. But honestly was worth my old one dying just to get this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! This a great machine. I bought it online (click and collect) and when we got it home my adult children commented a few times on how small it looks. 1. It does look small compared to some machines but it manages to fit a good size load, a standard queen blanket will fit. 2. When it is done it beeps a few times and then completely shuts off. No constant beeping until you check on it like other machines. 3. Its quiet. 4. It's great for short people! I can actually reach the bottom of the barrel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent l’il washing machine. GET IT!!!! This is the best little washing machine! I just moved into a one bedroom apartment and the laundry is pretty much in the living room. The washing machine is SO quiet even on the spin cycle. Also there is no agitator in the middle of the barrel so less likely to have clothes tangling up. Clothes come out clean which you know, it’s what it’s meant to do. I love it! The only minus is the sloping lid, which means you can’t leave your washing basket on top. Apart from that it’s great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Haier 8kg top loading washing machine I have no complaints about this washing machine. Compared to the previous LG all in one front loader which was a disaster, the Haier is excellent.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very happy so far after 2 weeks, apart from Bought the machine2 weeks ago at a fantastic price in click frenzy. It looks great in my laundry. It’s an attractive machine & seems to work well. Going from a front loader with a 1400 spin to a 750 spin is difficult. I never understand why top loader spin so slow. I wanted an efficient machine after having a front loader & was attracted to the energy & water rating. The lint filters are great as I have 2 dogs. They trap a lot of hair. My only complaint is it leaves cloudy white marks over my dark chinos. It doesn’t seem to matter which wash or rinse option I use. I do use liquid detergent. Putting them back in for another rinse sorts them out but defeats the purpose of getting an efficient machine. It washes as quickly as my front loader did & thankfully doesn’t have the balance issues others have reported.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Worst machine ever Worst washing machine I've ever owned. Leaves fluff on all the clothes, has old school filters in it which I didn't realise when I purchased as the display stock had removed them and it doesn't dissolve the washing powder correctly even when using a 1/4 of the amount recommended for a load and leaves stains and marks on clothes with the powder. If putting the machine on delay start it starts dripping washing powder on to the clothes staining them. I am very disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top loader. The Haier top loader washer was an absolute surprise. It uses far less water than my previous washer. I love the automatic measuring of a wash load to put in the correct amount of water. Not having an agitator means not having a load out of balance. I feel is does a better job of getting my husbands work clothes clean. Lots of different settings for clothes and water temperatures. I have to say I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Modern appliance purgatory It washes well (and much faster) than my previous front loader. The spin is effective. BUT: The lid lock ‘feature’ means you have to pause the machine to lift the lid. Annoying all the time (especially since being able to intervene mid cycle was why I chose to go back to using a top loader) and counterproductive in some cases. The auto balance ‘feature’ is just a way to waste water and add up to an hour to your wash time which of course can mess with your plans to ‘get a load on the washing line before leaving the house’. There’s no way to turn auto balance off. And having to pause the machine to lift the lid mid cycle adds to the complexity of assessing where in the cycle it actually is to try and avoid that annoying scenario. Even just a light to indicate it’s in ‘rebalance’ mode would be helpful rather than unceremoniously adding 15+ mins to the timer and lighting up the ‘rinse’ indicator.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent washing machjne i like the top load so donot need to bend when load / unload clothes from machine. Safe to kids and more continent to elderly, And easy to operation.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Tangles galore Washing comes out of the machine very tightly tangled to the extent that when untangled and hung there are areas of fluff left behind that need brushing before ironing. We use liquid Omo so the marks are not soap powder. Too many on/off when water filling up adds to the tangling problem.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great machine Looks great, affordable. I’ve had it for a month with no issues. Has quick wash option.Wasn't as big as I thought, but I can still do a whole weeks worth of work clothes, which I love! Way better water & energy rating than my previous machine. Fingers crossed it lasts a decent timeframe.
