What we like about Haier HW90-B14959U1 I-Pro Series 5

  • The 9 kg drum takes large loads in one go.
  • The hOn app starts, schedules and tracks washes from your phone.
  • The Direct Motion motor has no belt, which cuts vibration and noise.
  • The label scanner in the app suggests the right program.
  • A pillow drum handles delicate fabrics more gently.
  • I-Time lets you set the cycle length to the minute.

What we don't like about Haier HW90-B14959U1 I-Pro Series 5

  • No automatic detergent dosing, so you measure it yourself.
  • Just 12 washing programs to choose from.
  • Noise varies by program, and some run louder than others.
  • The Eco 40-60 cycle takes about 3 h 48 min at full load.
  • Older phones may not run the hOn app, and it needs a stable Wi-Fi connection.

Verdict

The Haier HW90-B14959U1 I-Pro Series 5 is a 9kg washing machine that combines A-rated energy efficiency with smart technology features. Its Smart AI Cycle analyzes loads to select optimal programs from over 2500 options, while the Washing-Lens function in the hOn app scans clothing labels to create a digital wardrobe inventory. The machine operates quietly with a 70 dB noise level during spinning and includes five spin speed options up to 1400 RPM. Energy consumption is efficient at 49 kWh per 100 cycles, and the machine features a lifetime motor warranty. Additional conveniences include an interior light, a wider 36 cm door diameter, and voice control compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. The machine comes with modern features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity, and the I-Time quick wash function. However, it has some limitations with only 12 washing programs, lacks a Pause & Add feature, and does not include specialized cycles for hygiene, pre-wash, or outdoor/sports wear.
