They carried these at our local Nebraska Furniture Mart a couple of years ago and they've been there on and off since. I've seen a couple sets and a dryer on Craigslist but haven't bitten, yet. I'm very curious about them, the dryer is a knock-off of the Whirlpool 27" design, like most Asian brands. Haier is making (or was) a version of the Maytag Neptune TL with the paddles in the tub but I've not seen one of those in person.
I didn't see Haier at Home Depot last Saturday, but our local HDs don't have much of an appliance department to speak of. | ||

I'd be cautious!
I have a hard time beliveing a Haier washer would be anything but trouble. Knowing of Haier's quality record from people who have owned their junk it will probably be broke in 2 months with no service or parts to be had. But who knows? Maybe they built somthing good, time will tell and I won't rule it out.

That's a whale of a price difference, just short of 2 : 1.
Haier is Chinese. Not 'made in China' from someone else's design, but C-H-I-N-E-S-E. Sounds kinda European. I thought it was. But no. Might scan this wiki about the company. CLICK HERE TO GO TO arbilab's LINK | ||

海尔 Haier - pronounced "high-r" two syllables, emphasis on the first. The two chinese characters together are a proper name so have no actual meaning but the first character is hai - or sea/lake. Same as Shanghai 上海。 | ||

Thanks for the news and pics Even though it is pronounced higher, looking at it makes me think of haywire. I wonder if the washer mechanism is like a world washer. | ||

HAIER APPLIANCES Thanks for the information about Haier Greg, as the old song says [ The Times Are A Changing ].
I love dryer doors that open down I wish that FL washers would go back to these also.
If Liebber is a world leader in refrigeration why can't even get an ice-maker to work? they also had the most uneven cooling performance in a recent CRs test. | ||

Years ago when I first heard of Haier the first thing that came to mind was "german". I disagree with a previous comment about drop-down doors. I love my 27" Whirlpool, and if I can help it, I will never own anything but a dryer like it. | ||

Though the quality may be sub-par compared to a 10 year old MOL Kenmore DD, it is pretty much the new reality of the washing machine those with less than $400 to spend will buy. I would expect that quality will improve somewhat over time. For a Chinese company to have the largest market share of white goods sales on the planet in 25-odd years is nothing short of stunning. At an equal pace, Midea appliance group is also one to watch. Midea owns a majority share of Little Swan Washing Machine Co. in Wuxi (woo-shee) just up the Yangze River from Shanghai where most Danby twin-tubs and the General Electric front loading washer are made. IIRC the GE's were among the top in CR's ratings in last couple of years. If you have a small refrigeration appliance, dorm fridge, wine fridge, window air conditioner, dehumidifier, etc. in your home that says "Made in China" it likely came from one of these two appliance giants.
