Fantastic Washing Machine
We needed to upgrade an existing 10kg toploading washing machine that had died and we searched online at the Good Guys and loved the look of this front loader. Everything about it ticked all of our boxes that we were looking for in a new washing machine. I can't recommend it enough and it has exceeded all of my expectations. We will now be purchasing the matching dryer to complete the set.

At a glance
The Haier 12kg Front Load Washer is a high-capacity option for large families and homes that regularly wash bulky items like doonas and towels. Its strengths are smart auto dosing, targeted stain and allergy programs, and features that help keep the machine fresher between loads. A fair limitation is its 661mm cabinet depth, which may need extra clearance in tighter laundries.
What it’s great for
- Large Family Laundry
- Bulky Bedding Loads
- Frequent Big Wash Days
- Allergy-Focused Washing
- Everyday Mixed Loads
Where it works best
- Family Home
- Busy Laundry Room
- Medium to Large Household
- Homes Washing Towels and Bedding Often
Who it’s for
- Large Families
- Busy Households
- Allergy-Prone Families
- Homeowners Wanting Auto Dosing
- Users Washing Bulky Items Often
Things to consider
Its large 12kg format and 661mm depth make it better suited to homes with enough laundry space, and it may be less ideal than smaller premium models if compact installation is the priority.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - Good for mixed household fabrics with dedicated Allergy Care, Stains and Soak programs, plus a balancing drum for steadier spinning.
Water efficiency rating
5 Star WELS, 86L per wash
Family laundry fit
Excellent for large households and homes with frequent bedding, towel and big mixed-load washing.
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - Auto balancing drum should help with uneven loads and spin stability, though no official noise figure is provided.
Allergy suitability
8/10 - Allergy Care program makes it a practical choice for families wanting more targeted wash support for sensitive households.
Key benefits
- 12kg Capacity: Handles large family loads and bulky items like doonas, towels and bedding in fewer cycles.
- Allergy Care Program: Adds targeted washing support for households wanting better care for allergy-prone family members.
- Stains Program: Helps tackle heavily soiled everyday laundry with a dedicated cleaning cycle.
- Soak Program: Useful for loosening stubborn dirt before the main wash on tougher loads.
- Automatic Smart Dosing: Dispenses detergent and softener automatically to reduce guesswork and product waste.
- Ultra Fresh Air: Circulates air through the washer to help keep the drum area fresher between loads.
- Dual Spray: Rinses residue from the door area to help reduce build-up after washing.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong energy performance with estimated annual energy consumption of 279kWh.
Q: Will this washer fit into a standard laundry space?
A: Yes, in many laundries. The cabinet is 850mm high, 595mm wide and 661mm deep, which suits many standard spaces, but allow extra room behind and around the washer for hoses, drainage and ventilation.
Q: What does Ultra Fresh Air do between wash cycles?
A: Ultra Fresh Air circulates air through the drum between loads to reduce trapped moisture and stale odours. It helps keep the washer fresher if laundry is not unloaded straight away, but it does not replace regular drum and seal cleaning.
Q: How does smart dosing work on the Haier HWF12DB1?
A: Smart dosing automatically measures detergent and softener for the selected cycle and load, so there is less guesswork each wash. It is designed to reduce overuse and residue, which is useful if different people in the home use the machine.
Q: Does it stay stable with heavy or uneven loads?
A: Yes. HWF12DB1 uses an auto balancing drum to help manage uneven loads and keep spin cycles steadier. That can mean less vibration and less noise from a lopsided wash, but correct loading still matters with heavy items like towels or bedding.
Q: Can a 12kg drum wash bulky bedding in one cycle?
A: Yes, the 12kg drum is suited to bulky bedding and larger family loads, so fewer items need splitting across multiple washes. Bulky pieces still need room to move freely, so avoid packing the drum tightly just because the capacity is large.
Q: Is this washer efficient for a large 12kg machine?
A: HWF12DB1 has a 5 star energy rating, which generally means lower running costs than other 12kg front load washers with a lower rating. It is designed for big loads, so efficiency is best when the large drum is used well rather than half filled.
