We purchased the Haier HW100-B14939S_AN Washing Machine in Anthracite to replace our previous washing machine that had become so loud when spinning, our dogs use to run and hide! Not a good scenario when living open plan! Our new washing machine is amazing! I’m not sure that I should admit how excited I was when it arrived! The sleek look of the machine adds to its appeal. I was a little apprehensive as the highest spin cycle (1400) is less than our previous machine, this was quickly dismissed after my first wash as the clothes came out drier than when spun in our old machine! The 10kg capacity means I can wash less frequently, which coupled with its super efficient wash equals less cost which during the current economic climate is very much needed. It adjusts volume of water and time required dependent on the weight of the items being washed! The machine has capacity to wash a duvet, perfect as no longer need to go to the launderette to waste time and money. The washing machine has 15 different wash cycles and the ability to change temperature, spin speed and rinse cycles. You can wash something in 15 mins if you need, or just refresh clothing that’s not dirty. I am a fan of programming my machine to end when I get up in the morning as the clothes don’t sit wet in the machine overnight, I can put my washing out on the line before work. It has a 24 hour timer which works well. My only issue is the website states it has a pause & add item which is great for dropped socks, however there is no mention of this in the manual. I think I’ve sussed it as if you hold the pause/stop button down, it stops and the lock symbol disappears, allowing you to open the machine. I would definitely recommend this machine! Brilliant, quiet and efficient.

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect with the Haier brand, it's not a brand I had personally used before or knew much about. Colour me impressed! Unboxing and setting up the machine was a breeze, all of the connectors were included which made it a simple job of hooking up to the water and drainage and pushing it into place, something we managed to do in about 15 minutes. The first impression you get with the washing machine is how easy it is to set up a load, the panel is incredibly intuitive and you can easily tweak the temperature or spin speed. The machine also comes with a handy sticker for the correct detergent dosages so you're not adding too much, and the large detergent drawer that handles both liquids and powder detergents has allowed us to get rid of the plastic dosage measures which is a nice eco-friendly touch. The second thing you notice is just how quiet it is, the previous machine we had sounded like it was trying to take off during a spin cycle, with this we had to do a double take to make sure it was actually on, even when it's spinning at 1400rpm. Cleaning quality is also very good, the machine has handled everything we've put through it from muddy dog towels to sensitive linens without any problems and the high speed spin cycle has let us reduce the time we spend drying our less sensitive clothes. I honestly haven't found any negatives to the machine yet, it's happily handled everything we've thrown at it without blinking and we've yet to find any problems.

Excellent product, exactly as described. This is the quietest washing machine we have ever had and even on the shortest wash, I am sure the clothes are coming out feeling fresher! Love this, we would definitely buy again. Also fantastic service from AO. Totally streamlined and all the staff we have met have been absolutely lovely & so helpful. Very happy.

Only used for a few weeks but drum is a generous size and it is quiet. Next model up available for a very similar price.

Very pleased with this washing machine, was a little unsure being a not widely known name. Washes well with a good choice of programs which are easy to personalise with spin speed/ wash temp etc

I am delighted with this machine. I bought it because I wanted a quiet machine. It exceeds my expectations! You can barely hear it when it is spinning even if you are standing right beside it. It came with rubber strips to be fitted round the bottom to dampen the sound, but neither I nor the delivery men noticed they were inside the machine, so they weren't fitted, but really they are not needed it is so quiet. The controls are really simple and it indicates the actual time left until the end of the wash which is really useful.

This machine is not only stylish, simple to use but is also Silent!. Installation was very straightforward as my partner is a plumber so i suppose this also helped. Although i did get a little confused as to where to but the soap as there is a flap to lift for liquid vs powder soap the manual was very easy to navigate. I like the feature of the 15min fast wash as little things like washing a top you may have got a stain on but unworn or clothes in the wardrobe for too long a quick freshen up is ideal. The machine is very easy to look at and the 10kg load is fantastic when you have a new-born that goes through bibs and grows like no-ones business. Would definitely recommend!!! Fave Features: Digital Display, Anti Crease, Speed of Spin, Wash Delay. The digital display is so nice and big for anyone with visual impairment and the dial for the washing functions is easy to navigate and clear that you don't have to wonder what option you have chosen. The delay button is great if you want to set the machine in advance but perhaps finish by the time you are back home or free.

We've been really impressed with the washing machine, it was very easy to plumb in and setup. The multiple programs cover all types of washes and the additional refresh program is brilliant for clothes that aren't dirty but just need a quick refresh, it does this with a 15min steam cycle. The 10kg drum is really large and helps get through the washing piles much quicker. The direct drive motor is so quiet that you barely notice it running.
