Haier HWD1000

by John Sinclair
(New York, NY)

The Haier HWD1000 Washer Dryer combination machine is my latest appliance purchase. It is an amazing piece of engineering. It combines efficiency with space saving design. In this review, I intend to tell you why I got the machine, how it works, and why I love it so much.

First of all, the Haier fits perfectly in my 450 square foot apartment in Brooklyn. I mounted it in a cabinet space in my kitchen. This is really convenient for me as I do not have a separate laundry room. The reasons I got the Haier are threefold. First it is compact, it has a very small footprint. Second the Haier washer dryer combo is extremely energy efficient, compared to side by side stand alone models. Third, the Haier is very quiet compared to other washer dryer combo models.

The actual workings of the machine are amazing. All you do is throw in the clothes and detergent and turn it on. The machine washes, rinses, spins and dries your clothes all in the same go. You do not have to switch anything around, all you do is take out the dry clothes when it is done. This is a definite step up in my opinion from regular washers and dryers. All of this and it is very stingy on water and electricity. So far my energy usage is down and I am saving money.

Now to the reasons why I like the Haier so much might be obvious, but the energy efficiency and the convenience are what really do it for me. I get so much more space in my small apartment since I do not have to dedicate a small room to the laundry. The Haier is not without its flaws however. I do wish it had a slightly larger capacity, so I could wash more clothes at one time. The sound it makes takes some getting used to as well. It is not necessarily louder than an equivalent separate dryer, it just has a higher pitch since the drum spins so fast. It almost sounds like a small jet plane taking off sometimes. Other than that, it is a wonderful machine.

All in all, I cannot recommend the Haier enough to someone in my situation. If you live in a small space, have a modest amount of clothes to wash and wish to do it with a minimum of fuss, the Haier is the perfect machine for you. I would absolutely purchase this machine again if I did it over again.

Expensive and low performance
by: Donald Scott

This does save space but the space u save will just be take'n up by all the dirty laundry you will have laying around.Turn it on and wait it might be dry some time next week! If your lucky enuff to get it to spin all the water out before it goes in to the drying cycle. Good luck to anyone buying one really sounds great.......just wish it work as well. Great idea.........just a lot of money for very little peformance.

Not great at drying with large load
by: Anonymous

I have been using this washer/dryer combo for the past 8 months and find that it is a very useful and easy to use appliance. I really like the idea of having a washer/dryer combo built in to one unit.

It makes it convenient to be able to do washing and drying in one unit. There are times that I don’t feel like going to the on site laundry facility to do a full load of laundry and it makes it nice to have this unit in my apartment so that I can do small loads of laundry in the comfort and privacy of my own home.

The only draw back to this unit is that a lot of times, depending on the size of the load, the unit does not dry clothes very well. When this happens, I usually will put my clothes on hangers and let them air dry overnight.

I sometimes feel a bit awkward when I have to wash my clothes in a public place, and having this washer/dryer combo in the privacy of my home give me the comfort, privacy and security of being in my own home when I do my laundry, even though there those occasions where I still use the laundry room facility available on site in my apartment complex

Overall, I am very pleased with the idea of having a washer & dryer combined in one unit. It is one of the many added features of my current living environment that I enjoy.

Pros
- Compact
- Easy to use.

Cons
- Depending on size of load, clothes tend to come out damp after cycle has completed
- During the spin cycle the unit can create alot of noise.

Not pleased
by: Caitlin T

I bought a Haier HWD1000 Front Load Washer recently, and I have had nothing but problems since. It leaks constantly. The detergent drawer leaks. When you try to spin out your clothing, it leaves them soaking wet, which in turns costs more electricity to dry them.

I thought it was a great idea at first, but it just eventually became a costly mistake because immediately after buying it and hooking it up it would not run because the repairman claimed my water was on too high of pressure and cracked a part in the interior. So we had to wait for that part for nearly a month, and once that was installed, and less than three loads of clothes done, the motor completely went out.

That part was on backorder for nearly THREE MONTHS!!! All in all, this has been an eternal nightmare.

I would NOT recommend this machine at all, unless you are into headaches and nightmares! It also doesn’t really clean your clothes. Especially if you exercise and have some stinky gym clothes, you still smell the sweat in them after washing.

Not pleasant. My son uses cloth diapers… and we aren’t even going to go into how those turned out in the washer. REALLY not pleasant!

WELL WORTH IT
by: TSHFCE

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing a washer/dryer combo and even with what seemed like several bad reviews, I chose the Haier HWD1000.
I've had it three months and I'm a very heavy user and I think I've truly put it to the test and it's a champ. It cleans better than any machine I've ever had, it's very quiet and I have had none of the spin trembles or severe shaking and noise of which others have complained. My only complaint would be the manual. It's pretty worthless and I'm still trying to figure out how to set the various custom cycles. It does take a LONG LONG time to dry most things but I find that after on dry cycle the load is so hot that ten minutes hanging up and everything's dry. It is a machine well worth putting up with the minor glitches for the benefit of real convenience. I love mine.

Looks great and energy efficient
by: duvessa

My husband bought me this machine when we moved into our new mobile home. He said it would be more efficient because it was just one machine and it used less electricity than running two. I of course was skeptical because I did not believe that such a small machine could do so much for me. I thought that it was just a trick and he was going to buy me a dryer later.

Little did I know this amazing machine does everything I need and more. Not to mention it looks great and I have tons of space left in the house for all my other equipment I need. It holds a good size large load and it is front loading which I love to death, and it is energy efficient. Who could ask for more right? I know that I couldn't expect anymore out of this machine.

I have had it for about a year now and have not had to replace anything or had any problems with it whatsoever. There is no need to go to the laundry mat when I can just have this great all in one machine. I though it wouldn't dry well at all but it dries just like a commercial machine. Everything is bone dry by the time I come get it out of the machine. I just love it and I am very pleased with this product.

An amazing time saver
by: john

At first I was hesitant buying a combination washer and dryer. I mean how many times have I bought a television with a built in DVD player only to have the DVD player break but the television keep on working. That was my main worry. Well, need not worry about a situation like that on this machine. It is well built and working fine.

The space saving was my first motivation for purchasing this model. The individual washer and dryer models just take up to much room. Two machines also need two plugs. Now that I have the Haier combination I have room to put a bookshelf. The footprint of the missing dryer was about three feet by three feet with just one machine that space is now mine to do what I please with it. I needed the room for a bookshelf but that is a lot of space for many different uses. I was thinking of putting a bike hook in the ceiling and storing my bike in that new free space. The bookshelf won out in the end, but just having that extra space with a little imagination and the possibilities are endless.

After using the Haier, that is when I feel in love with this machine. The best part about this machine is not the space saving but the ease of use. Instead of washing my clothes in a washing machine and then moving the wet clothes to a dryer, I now just put the dirty clothes in one machine and leave. That's right. I put the dirty clothes in one machine turn it on and leave. No one has to be there to move wet clothes from one machine to the other.

It is an amazing time saver. Just put your dirty clothes in one machine and leave to run errands and come back to clean dry clothes. You will never have to put your clothes in one machine and wait around until it is done washing. I will never go back to a separate washing machine and dryer set-up ever again.

Thank you for a ventless dryer
by: justin

I have owned a lot of washers and dryers in my life. Normally it is a venting problem or something to do with a circuit board going bad. The Haier HWD1000 really caught my eye a year ago when I had moved in to a new apartment. There were no vent holes, so I thought that I was in a bit of a predicament.

I was at Sears shopping around for some appliances and decided that I might as well look for a washer and dryer. It must have just been my lucky day. Right on the corner was a Haier HWD1000 washer and dryer combo on a huge sale. It was normally over nine hundred dollars, but was on sale that day only for five hundred. The best part about it is that it came with a five year full warranty, so if anything did go wrong then I would be covered. I had never heard about that brand of dryer before so I was a bit skeptical about the whole idea. I bought it and transported it home. Much to my surprise it really is not that heavy. I have moved some really heavy machines before, but this one is much lighter.

The problem with not having a vent for the dryer was solved. The dryer was ventless. I do not know how they came up with this, but thank them for doing so. Otherwise I would have had to take a ten minute drive just to pay to do my laundry at the nearest laundry mat. That would have been a pain. The washer does use a lot of water, but not too much electricity. The dryer works well and has numerous chimes when the cycle is complete. The dryer takes about forty minutes to dry a normal sized load completely.

Overall this combo is well rated, but there are some down sides for how heavy duty they are.

It washes wonderfully
by: Shawn

I live in a two-bedroom apartment and need the convenience of washing clothes inside oft my home because I have three children under the age of five. My Husband and I decided that we should look for an apartment-sized washing machine or stackable unit.

The problem was that they were not ventless and we could not have a vented dryer in the apartment. After doing some research, I came across the Haier HWD 1000 and discovered that it was a ventless system, designed for apartments and motor homes. To make things even better, it plugged into the walls without needing an extra 220 line installed.

I was kind of skeptical when we first got it, but I can say that over the past year it has been a God-send. To be so small, it washes wonderfully. The dryer is good for very small loads and sometimes I have to hang things after they've gone through the drying cycle (things like bath towels, jeans, sweatshirts). Overall, the system is great and it does not use a great deal of electricity which was one of my concerns upon our initial purchase.

Until we move, the Haier is a great solution to having the convenience of washing in my home without having to pay for washing and drying. In addition, it has different cycles including a custom cycle that you can program for specific items.
