Good price for a brushless motor washer with decent rpm speed and weight.
Original Price = $599
Purchase using shopback = -$41.93
Less gift card = -$75
Total price = $482.07
Edit: Spelling
Not bad considering size, 16 modes, 1400rpm spin speed & 8.5kg size.
it has a 15 minute quick wash function which is really useful when you're in a hurry.
Hurry for what? The clothes will still need to be dried.
Maybe if you need to quickly do a load and hang it up before heading out for the day?
only time i've found this function worthy is to pop in socks, cuz I can't stand keeping them in a laundry basket waiting for a full load. they get washed right after work I don't care.
Really only use this cycle in an absolute emergency.
15minutes is just not long enough to wash properly and then rinse properly.
Normal daily cycle for me usually takes around 1 hour.
These machines are great. Sooo quiet.
Harvery Norman? I think you spelt thievery incorrectly.
How's the vibration on this thing during tumble dry? Our current Samsung front loader shakes like a mini earthquake.
Be prepared for circuit board errors in the next couple of years.
Mate has had the same one for 3 years now, doesn't vibrate at all. He has a dryer placed directly on top of it and no movement.
Thanks for the feedback. Though I think having an heavy object sitting on top helps to reduce vibration.
Hopefully someone who's using it free-standing can confirm.
Will confirm tomorrow once it gets delivered. Ordered at 2:30pm today and already got a call confirm time for delivery.
All the feet need to be properly adjusted. The shock absorbers inside the washing machine need to be replaced if worn out. These 2 things and any machine will spin like a new one (unless the springs are worn out too which I doubt).
Lol! Mine shakes the entire house if I ever put on the max speeds.. I can hear the plates rattling in the kitchen.
u sure that the secure bolts at rear were unscrewed when installed?
Yeh. It's just getting old.
When I first got it, quiet as a whisper, barely felt anything. my previous apartment was also more solid base then my current house.
Works fine on lower rpm, just can't turn it up to 1100rpm.
@lawyerz: fair enough, it just means a drier outcome, if you were gonna put them on the line all day, then it wouldn't matter even if you dried it at a very low 600 rpm.
I have the HWF80BW2 which is a very similar machine and it's quiet and not much vibration, I'm impressed with how good a machine it is but it only gets used 1-2 times per week
Do they take away existing washing machine as part of delivery?
They do. Delivery for washing machine usually comes with installation and removal of old one.
Can I ask for a corona money hoarding discount?
They paid it back? They can't enforce their franchisees to do the same
Lol, the immage remains!
How does the Haier brand is? Never used their any product.
Had 7.5kg at last place, rated it.. loud as you expect clothes were clean, though i find 7.5 is just a bit too small.
they now own Fisher & Paykel and a few other well known brands
Different model. That's the HWF85BW1. Also, doesn't include a $75 HN voucher, though does include delivery.
The HN one is HWF85DW1 which is $759 at Appliances Online: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/haier-hwf85dw1-8…
Any key differences between the two models to justify the price difference?
In the market for a washing machine. Can anyone comment on haier???
Did they buy out asko??
No that would be Hisense — but Haier bought out Fisher & Paykel and drove down the quality on that brand as well in the past 5 years. Haier is a cheap brand made in China so dont expect much for the price or any aftermarket service (i've had clients knocked back on warranty claims less than 7 days out of warranty). Some people get good milage but most just dont. FYI though since 2020 Hisense have redesigned a lot of the Asko machines and caused lots of issues with those as well, such a shame because Asko was an incredible brand and well built for over 30 years :(
Thanks. I’ll steer clear
I believe you can get HWF85AN1 which the newest version washer $588 at The Good Guys Commercial plus delivery which is normally $55.
Newer models ditched the brushless motors for standard ones. Less torque but you get wifi instead.
So Haier downgraded their product effectively? Which makes sense to purchase a previous version then..
this was my exact train of thought
The price is $599. Cashback doesn't count. The $75 is, presumably, to spend at a later time and does not discount the price. So you are spending $599 for a washing machine and $75 voucher to spend with Gerry, and may get cashback. Having said that, it appears to be a good price for a machine that is normally over $700.
