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.

Great for family
This machine is wonderful. 12kgs so no crammed loads. Auto load sets the cycle time which is great and saves time on the cycle. The setting that shifts the load if you can’t take it out as soon as it’s done, so it doesn’t get smelly is super. Well worth the $

At a glance
The Haier HWF12DB1 is a large-capacity 12kg front load washer that suits families, busy households, and anyone washing bulky bedding regularly. Its strengths are the roomy drum, 14 wash cycles, smart dosing, and freshness-focused features like Ultra Fresh Air. A fair limitation is its standard 595cm width but deeper 66.1cm cabinet, which may be tight in compact laundries.

Things to consider
It offers strong everyday capacity and convenience, but buyers wanting ultra-compact depth, premium smart-home integration, or more specialised fabric programs may prefer a higher-end model.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - Good mix of specialist cycles and detergent pre-mixing supports everyday garment care and mixed fabric loads.
Water efficiency rating
5 star

Excellent for large families and frequent washing, with a 12kg drum suited to big weekly loads and bedding.
Noise level vs category average

8/10 - Includes an Allergy Care cycle and UV Protect option for households wanting added hygiene-focused washing.
Key benefits
- 12kg Capacity: Handles large family loads and bulky bedding in fewer wash cycles.
- 14 Wash Programs: Gives you flexible settings for everyday clothes, bedding, allergy-focused washes, and quick refreshes.
- Smart Dosing: Automatically measures detergent more accurately to reduce guesswork and help avoid product waste.
- Ultra Fresh Air: Helps keep the drum and door area fresher between washes.
- Dual Spray: Rinses the door and gasket area to help reduce residue build-up after cycles.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Delivers strong washing performance with a 5 star Australian energy rating.
- 5 Star Water Rating: Helps manage household water use with a 5 star Australian water rating.
- Auto Balancing Drum: Supports smoother operation by helping manage uneven loads.
Q: Is the 12kg drum large enough for bulky bedding and big family loads?
A: Yes. The 12kg capacity is designed for larger wash days and bulky items such as bedding, doonas and big mixed loads. It gives more room for clothes to move, which can help washing and rinsing perform better than in an overfilled smaller drum.
Q: How do Ultra Fresh Air and Dual Spray help if washing is left in the machine after the cycle ends?
A: They are designed to keep the washer fresher between loads. Ultra Fresh Air helps circulate air after washing, while Dual Spray helps rinse residue from the door area, which can reduce damp odours if laundry is not unloaded straight away.
Q: Does the auto dosing system on the Haier HWF12DB1 only handle detergent, or softener as well?
A: It supports smart dosing for detergent and can also be used with softener reservoirs, which helps reduce guesswork on large and small loads. The main benefit is more consistent dosing and less product waste than manual pouring each wash.
Q: Will the Haier HWF12DB1 fit in a standard laundry cavity or under a bench?
A: It measures 850mm high, 595mm wide and 661mm deep, so the width suits many standard washer spaces. The key check is depth, because hoses, door clearance and ventilation space can make the required footprint larger than the cabinet size alone.
Q: Is this washer designed to stay stable and quiet during spin cycles?
A: Yes. The HWF12DB1 includes an auto balancing drum to help manage uneven loads and keep operation smoother during spinning. It should still be placed on a solid, level floor, because large front loaders can vibrate more if the surface is uneven.
Q: What makes this model a good fit for allergy-prone households or heavily soiled laundry?
A: It offers dedicated programs including Allergy Care, plus Stains and Soak options for tougher washing needs. That gives more targeted fabric care than relying on a single everyday cycle, especially for bedding, towels or clothing that needs a deeper clean.
