Very practical for our needs
The Haier washing machine has the programs that suit our household washing. Am very pleased with our purchase. Particularly like the idea if filters in tub that can be cleaned daily of lint etc.

Reservation dismissed
As a previous Fisher & Paykel owner previously, we were unsure about the change but are convinced now . Features are great and it is very quiet as well. We are hoping for years of reliable use.

At a glance
The Haier 8kg Top Load Washer is a practical mid-range washer for households wanting easy everyday washing, good water efficiency and a useful mix of fabric-specific cycles. It suits medium to large loads, offers a hygienic wash and a fast 30-minute program, and has a soft-close lid for convenience. The main limitation is its 750rpm spin speed, which is lower than some premium models.

Who it’s for
- Small Families
- Medium Households
- Busy Parents
- Everyday Home Users
- Renters Upgrading Laundry Appliances
Things to consider
Its 750rpm maximum spin speed is lower than some premium top loaders, so heavier items may come out a bit wetter and take longer to dry.
Large family suitability
Good for small to medium families; capable for regular household loads, though very large families may prefer a bigger-capacity model.
Quick wash performance score
8/10 - Express 30 is useful for lightly soiled clothes and everyday refresh loads.
Laundry space fit
Best for standard laundry spaces needing a full-size top loader with easy top access.
Water efficiency vs category
8/10 - 4 star WELS water rating and 82L per wash make it a water-efficient option for a top loader.
Key benefits
- 8kg Capacity: Handles medium to large household loads with enough room for regular weekly washing.
- Eco Wash Program: Uses 82L per wash to help reduce water use on everyday loads.
- 4 Star WELS Water Rating: Delivers stronger water efficiency than many less efficient top loaders.
- 4.5 Star Energy Rating: Helps lower running costs compared with less energy-efficient models.
- 12 Wash Cycles: Gives you flexible options for Bulky, Cottons, Delicate, Wool and other fabric types.
- Hygienic Cycle: Eliminates up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria for extra confidence with kids clothes and sports gear.
- Express 30 Program: Washes lightly soiled items in 30 minutes when you need clothes ready sooner.
- Soft-Close Toughened-Glass Lid: Improves day-to-day safety and convenience with smoother, quieter closing.
Q: How quiet is the Haier HWT08AN1 in everyday use?
A: Haier HWT08AN1 is designed for quieter operation thanks to its Direct Motion direct drive motor, which has fewer moving parts. It suits apartments and shared laundries well, though a top loader will still make noticeable fill and spin noise.
Q: Will it suit a compact apartment laundry space?
A: Yes. The cabinet is 1015mm high, 580mm wide and 590mm deep, so it fits many standard or compact laundry spaces. Leave room above the machine for the lid to open fully, because top loaders need overhead clearance to load and unload.
Q: Does Express 30 work for a full weekly wash?
A: No. Express 30 is best for lightly soiled items that need a fast turnaround, not a heavy mixed load. For towels, everyday family washing or dirtier clothes, a longer cycle will usually clean more thoroughly and rinse better.
Q: Can it wash blankets or bulky winter bedding?
A: Yes, it has a Bulky cycle and an 8kg drum that suits many everyday bedding loads. The key limit is item weight and movement. Very heavy or oversized bedding needs to fit below the top rim and move freely, or a larger washer is the safer choice.
Q: What does the 4.5 star energy rating mean?
A: Haier HWT08AN1 has a 4.5 star energy rating. In practical terms, that generally means lower electricity use than other 8kg top load washers with a lower rating, although your actual usage will depend on cycle choice and wash frequency.
Q: Does it adjust if the wash load goes off balance?
A: Yes. This model automatically corrects unbalanced loads, which helps prevent a load bunching to one side during the cycle. That can mean fewer interruptions mid-wash and less need to stop the machine to manually redistribute heavier items.
