How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

Verdict

The Haier HW90-B14636N Series 636 is a 9 kg washing machine that combines quiet operation at 67 dB during spinning with excellent energy efficiency, using only 48 kWh per 100 cycles for its A-rated performance. The machine features five spin speed options ranging from 400 to 1400 RPM and comes with a lifetime motor warranty. Its 16 washing programs include specialized cycles for baby care, jeans, and duvets, while the Speed up Function adds versatility to standard cycles. The AquaProtect+ system ensures water safety with its double-walled hose and floor tray design. The machine has some limitations, as it lacks self-cleaning capabilities, a pause and add feature, allergen and pre-wash cycles. The ECO cycle runs for 228 minutes, which is slightly longer than standard. Despite these drawbacks, the machine maintains professional-grade performance with its comprehensive program selection and energy-efficient operation.
