Third-party reviews

What we like about Haier HD120-E357U1-UK X5

  • 12 kg per cycle handles a full family wash in one go.
  • 15 programs cover wool, bed linen and delicates.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start or check a cycle from your phone.
  • Gentle drying suits knitwear and delicate fabrics.
  • The hygiene program is useful for towels and sheets.
  • At 59.5 cm wide it fits a standard gap beside a washing machine.

What we don't like about Haier HD120-E357U1-UK X5

  • A full load uses 2.75 kWh per cycle, and a partial load 1.49 kWh.
  • The delayed start only goes up to 12 h.
  • At 68.5 cm deep it sticks out further than many dryers.
  • At 49 kg it is heavy to move once installed.

Verdict

For a family that dries large loads most days, the Haier HD120-E357U1-UK X5 handles up to 12 kg in one go. It is a heat pump model with an inverter motor. Its 15 programs cover everything from wool to bed linen. The hygiene and refresh cycles are useful for towels and jumpers, and the gentle drying setting is kind to knitwear. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start or check a cycle from your phone. AI technology helps pick the setting. The trade-off is energy use, with 2.75 kWh for a full load and 1.49 kWh for a partial one. The body is 68.5 cm deep, so it sticks further out than many dryers, and at 49 kg it is heavy. It suits a family with a large laundry load and a utility room with space.
