User Reviews
Read this for caster removal
Just used this machine for the first time. Cleans pretty well.Doesn't make a whole lot of noise like my portable dishwasher. Like mentioned in some other reviews, my machine also came dented. It seemed to happen from the inside of the machine. But it works fine. You need to buy a Y adapter for your faucet because it does not come with one if you want to use both cold and hot water hoses. YES the casters are really annoying to get off. That's because instead of putting the bottom panel on first like it says in the instruction manual, just take the bottom stands off first so you can unscrew the bolt from the inside then your good to go. The spin cycle does get things pretty dry. I only washed on thing stained with mildew so far just to test however,it came out clean . The washer does seem a little flimsy but hey for the price, as long as it gets the job done and save you the trip to the laundry mat.It's a good size too of 11 pounds of wash. Bought the Avanti dryer also because it got the best reviews but haven't tried it yet. Washer came really fast about 4 days later.
PROS: Quiet, nice size, does what it says, different cycles, Easy to hook up, cleans well.
CONS: Didn't come with Y adapter, flimsy, arrives dented,wish it had hooks in the back for hoses when not in use.
Love my washer
I have had this machine for almost four years and so far no problems. It was definitely worth the price. I live in an upstairs apartment so it was nice knowing I could do the bulk of my laundry at home. Most of my work clothes are hang dry anyway, so I do not miss the dryer. For towels and sheets, it will do a large queen sheet and pillow case...so for those items I take those to the laundry. But that is once a month and one large bag. Plus I do like my towels and sheets to be dried in a machine. But in terms of my clothes it gets them clean and has been a money saver these past few years.
Two-month ordeal trying to get parts
Haier has a problem knowing one thing from another. First they shipped me a beer dispenser! I refused delivery, and eventually got the washer. It does have an outward dent in the front,par for the course,apparently.
It also has a leak. I called Haier and they immediately set up a visit from a local repair shop. Very pleased so far. The problem is in getting parts. Linda, the parts lady for the repair people, has been very diligent, but the large distributors they usually rely on don't carry Haier parts, so you have to order from Haier, which is like breaking into Fort Knox.
This saga started September 24, 2008, and finally on November 23, after contacting a Haier field supervisor for this region, Linda got the parts.
Only problem is they didn't send all the right ones. The one thing she mentioned was that instead of a rubber grommet they sent a screw! First a beer dispenser, then a screw. Is there a message there?
She's sending the repairman to do what he can and assess the further leaks it's developed, as I've used it (and mopped up) several times while waiting. Then she's going to call the field superintendent and tell him he needs to give me a new machine. I was going to call Haier and demand one, because I've wasted three months overall on this project, but I kept thinking she could get the parts.
However, having said all that, I like the machine itself if I can ever get one that doesn't flood me out. It will serve my purposes just fine.

I hate laundromats
But I've been enduring them for the past 9 years thanks to no laundry in my apartment building. However, with our first baby on the way, we finally decided we needed to try to find some solution so we wouldn't have to make daily trips to the laundromat.
As others have said, dings are pretty much par for the course thanks to the packaging inadequacies of the product. Ours arrived with a couple on the outside, and there was also a mystery plastic part that was in several pieces -- we had no idea what it was or what its functionality was, but since we'd already lugged this thing into the car from my husband's office and then dragged it up the flight of stairs to our apartment (not that the nine-months pregnant woman was much help), we figured it was worth trying out first to see if it worked.
Setup was fairly easy to figure out -- we swapped in the casters and then screwed on the bottom pan (thanks to those who warned about putting it in the right way, as my husband was about to screw it on the wrong way). We've also got a single faucet sink rather than separate connections for hot and cold, but instead of buying the Y connector, we just hooked up a hose to the cold section on the recommendation of another reviewer. One word of warning on this -- be sure you hook the hose up to the cold output and then be sure you're always running cold/cold cycles if you do this. We initially had it on the hot input and then realized no water was getting into the washer.
Once we got that stuff figured out, we did a short cycle with low water as a test run to make sure that the broken (and therefore non-functioning) mystery plastic parts weren't going to cause crazy leaks or malfunctions with their absence. They didn't, and the laundry came out beautifully. We've done a few loads since then, and they've all come out great. While we'll still use the laundromat for heavy-duty/large-volume items like our sheets/jeans/towels, it's SO nice to know that when this baby finally gets here, that I'll be able to keep up with her laundry needs without having to leave the apartment. Now I just need her to get here.
Well, there's SOME good news
The great news is that the shipping and purchasing was easy. The return was easy as well. The bad news is that we never got to use our washer because we got the E2 error and when the repairman came to try fixing it, he determined that the machine was not worth repairing due to extensive and non obvious cracking of the cabinet and top. According to him the transmission was also jammed, so even if we hadn't gotten the E2 error the machine would have failed.
