About Haier
It started with a fridge factory
Haier began in 1984 as a refrigerator factory in Qingdao, China, and concentrated on fridges for its first seven years. Today it is the world's number one major appliance brand, according to Euromonitor International, and the Haier Group's brands also include Fisher & Paykel, Candy, GE Appliances and Casarte.
In 1985, after complaints about faulty fridges, factory director Zhang Ruimin smashed 76 of them with a hammer in front of his staff.

hOn app
One app for the whole home
Haier's connected appliances all use the same app, hOn. Start and follow a programme when you're out and get notifications, for example when the laundry is done.
Each appliance adds its own features. The X Collection washing machines get more than 60 extra programmes and a care-label scanner. Dryers tell you when the light items are dry. On the 2D 60 Series 3 PRO fridge-freezers you change temperatures from your phone, and on the wine cabinets you scan bottle labels with a function developed with Vivino.*
Laundry
A wash that sets itself
With Smart AI, the X Collection, the Mini washing machine and the laundry tower detect how much laundry is in the drum and what kind of fabric it is, and choose the settings from 2,500 or more combinations.
Refresh without washing: the X Collection washers use steam, and the 10 kg dryer and the laundry tower have I-Refresh Pro, to remove odours and creases from clothes you've worn once, without detergent.
No belt: the Direct Motion motor in the 9 and 10 kg washers and the laundry tower sits directly on the drum, for less noise and vibration.

Does every Haier appliance work with the app?
No, only models with Wi-Fi. Many do, including the X Collection and Mini washing machines, the tumble dryers, the laundry tower, the 2D 60 Series 3 PRO fridge-freezers and many of the wine cabinets.
Which Haier washing machine suits my home?
Short of space? The Mini is 70 cm high and 51 cm wide and takes 5 kg. For a normal-size space, the X Collection comes in 8, 9 and 10 kg. If you want a washer and a dryer on the floor space of one machine, choose the laundry tower.
