Surprisingly Good Machine
I've never owned a Haier washer before. I did a fair bit of research before I finally bought this one!. I must say I am impressed with our new machine. It is quiet for a washing machine, the clothes are clean and there are lots of different cycles to choose from depending on your requirements. If you are looking for a descent machine that lets you tailor your wash load, give this one some serious consideration.

So far so good
I paid for th option for the delivery person to plumb in the new washer and take away the old. this service was great except the hose started to flood the laundry which required me to get a maintenance person out to repair the issue. The actual working of the machine has been good so far.

At a glance
This 8.5kg front load washer is a practical mid-range choice for households wanting solid everyday washing performance, a slim fit for tighter laundries and useful convenience features like Express 15, Add a Garment and Steam Refresh. It suits couples and families needing reliable weekly laundry care. The main limitation is that it focuses on core functionality rather than the more advanced specialist options found in higher-tier models.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Family Laundry
- Quick Refresh Washes
- Small-to-Medium Household Loads
- Tight Laundry Spaces
- Lightly Worn Garment Care
Where it works best
- Apartments
- Family Homes
- Compact Laundries
- Under-Bench Laundry Installations
Who it’s for
- Couples
- Small Families
- Busy Households
- Apartment Dwellers
- Value-Focused Buyers
Things to consider
A strong everyday washer, but it does not appear to offer the broader premium wash customisation or specialist hygiene-focused options available in higher series models.
Fabric care suitability score
8/10 - Steam Refresh and front load washing support gentler care for everyday fabrics and lightly worn garments.
Water efficiency rating
4.5 star water rating
Family laundry fit
Well suited to couples and small families with regular weekly washing needs.
Noise level vs category average
6/10 - No standout low-noise claim is provided, so expect typical front load operating noise for the category.
Allergy suitability
Moderate - front load washing and steam refresh may help freshen garments, but no dedicated allergy or sanitise claim is provided.
Key benefits
- 8.5kg Capacity: Handles everyday laundry for couples and small families with enough room for regular weekly loads.
- Slimline 565mm Depth: Fits more easily into compact laundries and under shallower benchtops.
- Express 15: Quickly washes small or lightly soiled loads when you need clothes refreshed fast.
- Steam Refresh: Helps reduce odours and smooth creases in lightly worn or stored garments while using minimal water and energy.
- Add a Garment: Lets you pause and add forgotten items after a cycle has started for extra convenience.
- 5 Star Energy Rating: Offers strong energy performance under the Australian Energy Rating system to help lower running costs.
- 4.5 Star Water Rating: Uses water efficiently by category standards, helping reduce water consumption across frequent washes.
Q: Will the Haier HWF85KW1 fit into a tighter laundry space or under a bench?
A: Yes. The HWF85KW1 measures 850mm high, 595mm wide and 565mm deep, so it suits tighter laundry spaces than deeper front loaders. Allow extra room behind the unit for hoses and enough front clearance for the door to open fully.
Q: What is Steam Refresh on the Haier HWF85KW1 actually useful for?
A: Steam Refresh is for lightly worn clothes or stored items, not muddy or heavily stained loads. It uses steam to reduce odours and help smooth creases with minimal water and energy, so it works best as a quick freshen-up rather than a full wash.
Q: What kinds of loads suit the Express 15 cycle on this washer?
A: Express 15 is best for small, lightly soiled loads that need a quick turnaround, such as a few everyday items. It is not the cycle for towels, bedding or heavily soiled clothes, where a longer wash gives better cleaning and rinsing.
Q: Can the Haier HWF85KW1 let you add washing after a cycle has started?
A: Yes. Add a Garment lets you pause early in the cycle to drop in an item you missed, which is useful for socks or small pieces. It is intended for the start of a wash, not once water level, temperature or drum speed make opening unsuitable.
Q: Does the slimline design mean less usable capacity in the drum?
A: No. Despite the shallower cabinet, this model still offers an 8.5kg capacity, so it suits normal household loads while fitting more easily into compact laundry spaces. The trade-off here is external depth, not a move to a smaller load class.
Q: Why do some cycles on the Haier HWF85KW1 take much longer than Express 15?
A: Because Express 15 is a short wash for light soiling, while standard programs spend longer washing, rinsing and spinning for a more complete clean. On this model, cycle time changes with the program, load type and any options selected.
Q: Is the Haier HWF85KW1 a good option if you wash often and want lower power use?
A: Haier HWF85KW1 has a 5 star energy rating, which can help reduce electricity use compared with lower-rated washers in regular household use. It is also designed for efficient water use, while cycle length will still vary by the program selected.
