hi ariston4life I normally always advise repair but this is a Haier!, the most rubbish machine on the market. Get a new one, pay more and get a decent machine. | ||

ok ok bash haier all you like but i have to be honest and say it is a good machine i mean i paid 279 for it and it does 6-7 washes a day everyday and its 15 months old and is still working with no repairs all it is is the motor is starting to sound a bit horse, so i was thinking of just ordering new brushes for it...anyone know which ones are suitable for it?

"15 months old and is still working with no repairs all it is is the motor is starting to sound a bit horse" ..and you think 15 months is a respectable life span for a washing machine motor? Washing machines are NOT cheap. Spending so much money on a domestic item, and I would at least expect 5 years out of it. My Grandparents have had their matching Hotpoint set since 1981 with only the brushes replaced a few times on the washer and no repairs to the dryer and my aunt and 2 young cousins live with my gran. My aunt and uncles 1990 Logic is still in regular use in a house with 3 kids. We had a Zanussi Jetsystem for 11 years with no repairs until the bearings went. 15 months, IMO, is not on. A machine should not need a new motor after 15 months. Brushes, at a push, but not a whole new motor. | ||

AquaCycle
sorry but your talking about older machines that were built to last such as old hotpoints and logics, however were in 2009 now machines are not built to last except the much loved on here Mieles no new hotpoint will never last as long as the old ones and same gos for new hoovers aswell, however im talking about my BOL HAIER( that is always being singled out as rubbish) all im saying is its not that bad considering it does 6-7 washes a day every week its out lived our beko anyway( now that was a piece of crap).

Actually, I've found Beko to be rather reliable. I had one when I first moved into my flat and that's now been donated to my friend who has 2 children and who's partner works on a building site. It's ALWAYS on and it's doing just fine. It washes efficiently, good water levels, rinses well, spins well and is not particulaly noisey. My only issue with it, is it takes bleedin' ages but this can be resolved using the quick wash button. Also, my work colleague has had a Beko for going on 3 years and it's fine, my friends parents have one and theirs is fine - thats about 2 or 3 years old now. I've heard nothing but good things about them and having lived with one, can safely say, it's the best machine to buy on a budget.

well my beko was complete rubbish 4 breakdowns in 6 months thats not very reliable is it and ours was on the same amount of times the haier is on and the haier is still going perfect where as the beko clapped out after 6 months... and it wasnt just bad luck with my one as my auntie had a similar model 1 month old and needed a new PCB thats not very reliable is it. all in all id sooner go for HAIER/BUSH machines than any beko on the market. | ||

6-7 a day
Forgive me for pointing something out but why are you using a domestic washing machine to do 6-7 washes a day everyday of the week? That level requires a heavy duty machine with higher weekly cycles factored into its motor bearings etc. Even 6 washes a day 7 days a week is 42 cycles a week or 2184 a year. An enourmous strain on a budget washer. A Whirlpool heavy duty light commercial machine is only guaranteed for 25 cycles a week. You need a second hand Miele little giant or something similar to do the job your asking of it. Steve | ||

Even in a house with 2 adults and 4 kids, we never did 6 - 7 washes a day. How many times a day do people in your house change clothes? Surely, in an average family home, at the end of the day you'd have a few school uniforms, some office wear, maybe a work uniform or 2? Surely thats 2/3 loads, tops? I know when I was younger, the washer was on pretty much daily but only with 1 or 2 loads, max.

well in our house theres 6 of use plus a dog a rabbit and a buggie the two girls are constantly changing cloths and we have a lot of washing to do its that simple and if the mother decideds to go on a cleaning rampage, like all the curtains and badcloths etc. the machine could be on nearly 10 times in one day.

...yes but surely even if you're doing a mad cleaup, you're not going to do it everyday. Think about it, if you spend a day doing all your washing - clothes, bedding, curtains, cusion overs, seat covers, dog bedding, towels...the same load of washing is not going to be their needing to be done again the next day. Surely, the next day, you're only going to have a 1 or 2 loads to do unless you have serious OCD and insist on washing everything daily. So if you do 6 washing loads in a day, you'd have empty baskets the next day. I also find it very hard to believe that you are able to create 6 loads of washing a day based on what time you would have to start doing the washing in order to have it complete by the time you go to bed. I mean, it's actually not possible unless you stay up all night doing washing. School uniforms and work clothes won't be ready to wash until dinner time - say 6pm by the time the whole family gets home. 6 washing loads at an hour each will take you through to midnight. I doubt that anyone, after a day at work/school/college would want to spend 6 hours doing washing.

and another thing...you said there's 6 of you. There was 6 of us when I was younger - Mum, Dad, Me, 2 brothers and my sister. You do realise that, based on how much washing you claim to do daily, you're saying you create a load EACH. Personally, I get up, I have my work clothes to wear and then I change when I get home. I wear a different shirt everyday and a different pair of work pants every 2 days. Jeans will last a few days because I only wear them for a few hours after work. I can probably make a pair of jeans last Monday - Friday providing I don't spill anything on them. So how many differnt sets of clothes do you wear in order to create a whole washing load EACH!? Surely, if you wear 1 t-shirt for 3 hours, it doesn't class as dirty and can probably be worn the next day for another few hours before it needs washing. How un-economical are you?

UHH--this is an auto washer site. People are OCD, and facinated with things that go splash. Don't judge. There are three of us currently in my family, and I manage at least a load a day in my large May-pool machine. When I had a smaller TL machine I could easily manage two or three loads a day. Don't judge me. | ||

Aquacycle
this is the last time im posting in this thread because you clearly dont understand, yes theres alot of use in the house which means that our entire cupbert under the stairs which is used as our laundry basket is almost always full as washing builds up and thats why our machine is almost always on....you think is ridiculous..it just normal for use as we do have alot of washing...i just dont get people on here sometimes i thought people on here would like to see there machines on most of the time..ah well at least i get to. Matt: haha good one about the buddgie... the amount of times we have to sweap the hall a day over it...now thats a joke. | ||

No, you're right - I don't understand how anyone can create so much washing and I don't believe for a second that you can create 6/7 loads of washing in a day. Even families I know with 5 kids in one house don't create that much washing. I think either you're exagerating WAY to much in defense of your Haier or you keep washing the same things over and over again for the sake of it.

Many a moon ago
When my Niece and Nephew were still wee ones. My Sis-n-law and the two children under the age of 2 moved in with us while my brother was being transferred. Both babes were at the time in cloth diapers, they with the four adults in the house generated 8 to 10 loads of clothes a day. When I state clothes I mean about two loads of diapers, in addition to each time they took a nap they would wet the cloth diapers through and all the bedding as well as their clothes had to be washed. At that time we had a Heavy Duty GE Filter Flo, and just for the record, though that machine only had that duty for about five months; it continued to serve us for another 17 years when we sold it to a friend. It was still washing up until two years ago when they decided to get a New machine and finally let it go to scrap. | ||

Hi Liam Sorry just picked up your message about the motor bearings. I was actually taking about some of the real AEG washers where the motor bearings used to go, not the AEG made washers for the Zanussi machines. bertrum | ||

it wont be wasted as it will be going to my nannys house were she does about 3-4 washes a week so it will be quite happy. im sorry that i dont share all your enthusiasm for miele machines i know they last forever and a well built but i dont like the look of them simple as that and now that we have the hotpoint dryer it makes sense to get the matching washer... anyways we have cut down on the washing...yesterday the haier was on about 3 times which isnt to bad.and anyway the enviroment is F*****D no matter what we do... not only that but our green recycleing bins are a complete waste as it all goes to the same place as the rubbish from the black bins...thats why my sister brings our recycleing to the recycling centre. | ||

Oh yes lovely to see you have such a positive outlook on our environmental situation. Also lovely to see that you have put so much thought into your opinions of Miele washing machines and covered all areas of what makes a great machine. please note that the sarcasm in this message is completely intentional. | ||

As I pointed out to another member last week we have a couple of UK trolls here who only log in to attempt to cause wars and arguements. There are a couple of hot topics or themes they like to post about if you watch where folks usually go crazy on and wars evolve. Tis quite easy to figure out who does it. I stupidly got caught up in some of these debates and can say its not worth your time or effort fighting out your case because thats what they want - the more posts thier threads get the more they get a kick. I stick to the threads that interest me and only me or that I know that a contribution may evolve it into something worth looking at. I know it can be hard not to post in a rage especially if you know the previous posters are talking rubbish but walk away grab a cup of coffee and relax! Find something more positive to do. Its totally their loss. Took me a while to get the hang of it but it works. | ||

Im sorry for those who i may have offended by my comment about the enviroment etc. of course i care im just sick to death of people going on about when we know what we have to do and it just gets to me...as for the haier machine i plan to get a good few years use out of it..hopefully as i said it will not be dumped as i dont believe in dumping something that is still fully functional. we have dramatically redued our wash loads to about 2-3 loads a day and i think thats a reasonable amount. so again sorry if i offended or annoyed anyone with my previous comments... thinking back i do feel quite stupid actually for going on about it...and to think it all started over a motor. i did not join this site to pick fights or anything just simply because i love washing machines and want to share that with other members on here. | ||
