When choosing the best Haier washing machine, consider capacity, dimensions, energy consumption, water usage, spin efficiency, noise levels, motor type, and available washing programs and functions.
What capacities are available for Haier washing machines?
Haier washing machines have capacities ranging from 7 to 12 kg, with some models reaching 15 kg in the special "SuperDrum Series 7". The most common capacities are 9 kg (28% of models) and 8 kg (21% of models).
The chart below shows the capacity distribution among Haier washing machines.
[pie-chart-94540791]
The drum volume of Haier washing machines ranges from 54 to 78 litres, with an average of 55 litres (3 litres less than the market average).
The depth of Haier washing machines ranges from approximately 46 to 65 cm, meaning slim options are available. The width varies from 41 cm for top-loading machines to 60 cm for front-loading machines, similar to market standards.
Select the washing machine capacity based on your laundry needs. For large loads, choose a 9 or 12 kg machine. For smaller loads, 7-8 kg machines are sufficient. Choose dimensions based on the available installation space. If space is limited, consider slim models.

What is the energy efficiency of Haier washing machines?
Haier washing machines are highly energy efficient. Most models 92% belong to energy efficiency class A, while the remaining 8% fall into class B.
Haier does not offer models in the lower classes from C to G, a significant difference compared to the market average, where only 39% of washing machines belong to class A and 17% to class B. This makes Haier models generally more efficient than those of other brands.
The chart below shows the energy class distribution of Haier washing machines.
[pie-chart-59501423]
In terms of energy consumption, Haier washing machines consume between 44 and 57 kWh per 100 cycles, with an average of 49 kWh, placing Haier 1st among 22 brands for energy efficiency. In comparison, the average market consumption is around 55 kWh per 100 cycles.
The following Haier washing machines have the lowest energy consumption.
- Haier HW120-BP14357AUK Energy consumption: 33 kWh/100 cycles per 100 cyclesCapacity: 12 kg
- Haier HW110-BP14929A-S Energy consumption: 37 kWh/100 cycles per 100 cyclesCapacity: 11 kg
- Haier HW50-BP12307 MiniDrum Energy consumption: 39 kWh/100 cycles per 100 cyclesCapacity: 5 kg
Regarding water consumption, Haier washing machines use between 41 and 56 litres per cycle, with an average of 48 litres. This places them 15th out of 22 brands in terms of water consumption.
What is the spin efficiency of Haier washing machines?
Haier washing machines belong to spin-drying efficiency class B, which is the most common on the market, with 85% of washing machines falling into this category. Spin-drying efficiency indicates how well the washing machine removes moisture from clothes after washing and is closely related to the maximum spin speed, which measures the rotation speed of the drum during the spin phase.
The chart below illustrates the spin-drying efficiency class distribution among Haier washing machines.
[pie-chart-66620827]
For Haier washing machines, the maximum spin speed ranges from 1200 to 1400 rpm. 79% of Haier models reach 1400 rpm, while 13% reach 1200 rpm. This is above the market average, where 60% of washing machines have a maximum spin speed of 1400 rpm and 22% of 1200 rpm.
If you often wash delicate fabrics, it is essential to consider the minimum spin speed, as delicate fabrics require lower speeds to avoid damage. Haier washing machines offer a minimum spin speed ranging from 400 to 600 rpm. Approximately 80% of Haier models have a minimum speed of 400 rpm, making them suitable even for the most delicate items.
How noisy are Haier washing machines?
Haier washing machines are quieter than most other brands on the market. The spin noise levels range from 66 dB to 79 dB, with an average of 69 dB. This places Haier at position 1 in a ranking of 22 brands, sorted from the lowest to the highest spin noise level. Spin noise level is particularly crucial as it represents the noisiest phase of the entire washing process.
The spin noise levels among Haier washing machines are distributed as shown in the chart below.
[vertical-chart-46204026]
Haier washing machines belong to noise emission classes A or B, with 80% of Haier models in class A, indicating a spin noise level below 73 dB. In comparison, only 39% of washing machines on the market fall into this category.
Wash noise also contributes to the overall noise level, although it is less significant than spin noise. Haier washing machines have wash noise levels ranging from 51 dB to 55 dB, with an average of 53 dB, aligning with the market average.
The quietest Haier washing machines are as follows.
- Haier HW50-BP12307 MiniDrum Spin noise level: 66 dBWashing noise level: ? dBCapacity: 5 kg
- Haier HW100-B14636N Series 636 Spin noise level: 67 dBWashing noise level: 53 dBCapacity: 10 kg
- Haier HW90-B14939S8-IB I-Pro Series 3 Spin noise level: 67 dBWashing noise level: 55 dBCapacity: 9 kg
