Haier HDC80E1

Average I mainly use dryer for clothes as I found it doesn't dry sheets and bedding that well Some clothes come out crease free. The constant beeping is rather annoying. Show details

Couldn't pay me to get another haier dryer – Absolute s#@t product. My $200 dryer was so much better than this $1000+ one. I regret not complaining sooner so we might be able to get some money back or be able to return it. Doesn't dry stuff 80% of the time l, often will take all day to dry one load and when set in the evening will beep repeatedly then dry for another 15 minutes then beep… Read more

again for hours if I let it. Horrible horrible machine do not buy!! And yes I clean it out, put smaller loads in and have tried all the settings.

Condenser fail – To be fair I bought this as part of a new years sale package where it came with a washing machine. I read sale and stopped at dryer, I so wish I had read that online ad properly. I absolutely do not recommend this product. The only way it dries any of my clothes is when its set to the highest setting, god forbid I put towels or bedding's in there… Read more

because it does Sweet FA. I just get a big wet round ball of wet linens. So when it rains and I need my bedding's dried, I save myself the trouble & I take my stuff to the nearby laundromat

Great dryer until it has a failure – Up till now the dryer has worked well. No condensate in the laundry and minimal lint. We keep the filters and condenser clean on a regular basis. About two weeks ago there was a puddle of water on the floor near the dryer and I work out that the water was leaking from the rear of the dryer at the bottom. After some investigation, it turns out… Read more

there is an overflow in case there is a blockage somewhere and the sump pump cannot pump the sump clear. After I pulled the dryer apart to investigate the problem, I found that in the rear air duct chamber there are small channels that allow the excess water run under the condenser to a small sump. The main channel to the sump was blocked with lint, so the excess water was not flowing to the sump and therefore the sump pump. Solution: Remove the condenser from the bottom of the dryer. At the rear of this chamber is a removable cover (you will need to tip the dryer on to its side to get access to the tabs that hold this cover in place). Once removed, you can then access the lower sump and clean the channels that allow the water to flow from the rear air duct to the sump pump .(Its advisable to complete this maintenance in an area where can use a hose to wash out this area.)

Shame on Haier for not including this in their troubleshooting guide

Perfect machine so far – Unsure where the other reviews are coming from but we've used ours for just over 6m with 0 errors so far. Dries in a few hours, no issues with hinges or errors or clothes not drying so far thankfully and energy efficient Show details

No dramas here! – I used to have an unvented dryer in the garage but after getting soaked on rainy cold winter days going out there I decided to go for a condenser model to have in the house. I like that this machine doesn't over dry items like my old unvented dryer did, I've noticed my fabrics have lasted much longer given they aren't being crispy fried! A load… Read more

of towels come out dry but still soft in under an hour. A trick for sheets, tie the diagonal corners in a light knot which stops them bunching while tumbling and just run them on a normal cotton cycle. It works for me, I get a queen size sheet set dry within an hour. I got my machine on a good deal nearly 2.5 years ago and I'm still really happy with it.

Wish I had never bought this dryer – Clothes straight from the washer will dry but only on the hottest setting. I put one sheet at a time to try to get the sheets to stop bunching and going into a wet football shape. The sheet still bunched up and does not dry even with the addition of dryer balls and three tennis balls . Only saving grace is that the windows don’t mist up. Overly expensive dryer with poor performance. We will not buy Haier brand ever again.

The worst! – This dryer .. just does not dry! It uses a ridiculous amount of power and ties your clothes, sheets or towels in a wet knot. The absolute worst. Save your money and invest in a clothes horse Show details

Hate it!! – Clothes take forever to dry, can be u to 6 hours or more sometimes. I let the sales woman talk me into this as she has one and it's the best ever. Hated it from day, give me back my dryer the fogs up the laundry please, at least it dried. Had for under 18 months and now when it tries to spin it makes a really little ud noise and I can't use it. Would never buy one of these dryers again Show details

What a load of rubbish dont buy one – Have had the dryer for 1 week sheets don’t dry just roll up into a ball have to keep stopping the machine to untangle them. Have spoke to Haier they are not interested they just want your money also clothes don’t come out dry on auto. Purchases the dryer in Jan but have just installed due to renovating we also have a washing machine that leaves your clothes wet stay away Show details

Purchasers, I feel your frustration! – I don't even own one, but am staying somewhere where the holidaying owners do. What torture this piece of rubbish is, for ALL the shared aforesaid reasons. I will avoid this brand in future, luckily not having ever spent a cent on one. Sheets that ball up and couldn't possibly dry as a mass. Stop-starting. Machine stops after 2 minutes. Nothing has ever been removed dry. Show details

Dryer that just won't dry! – I try to use to air clothes still damp from the line. Turn on for 1 min then it stops. Sometimes it starts again for 1min then stops. The filter light flashes indicating it needs emptying, even though it's clean. This can continue for hours and no change to the clothes - still damp. If I'm trying to dry a wet load? - forget it. It just won't happen no matter what setting you try. Terrible machine. I DO NOT recommend. Show details

A dryer that doesn't dry! – I'd give it less stars, but the least I could have was one. Had this dryer for a little over a year now and will say that it is completely useless waste of money and energy! It does not get anything dry, Sheets roll up into a solid wet ball repeatedly and take 4-5 cycles to get 80 percent dry, put clothes straight in from the washing machine and 2… Read more

minutes later it's stopped and tells me it's done. This does not dry a thing and have upgraded to my parents 30 odd year old fisher and paykel dryer. WTH Haier...? My recommendation is to purchase a clothes airer instead.

Terrible machine – I have the same problem as everyone else constantly - runs for a minute, stops, runs for another short stint or two and then tells me it’s finished and the filter needs emptying even though I’ve cleaned the filter a number of times. Don’t buy one of these!

First use and filter light comes on after 1 minute – Bought this dryer 3 weeks ago from appliances online. Went to use it for the first time on Thursday and it runs for 1 minute, stops, 10 seconds, stops and a final 10 seconds the filter light comes on and it ENDS. There is nothing in the filter, I have tried various setting and temps and degrees of dryness and the same thing happens. Called AO on… Read more

Thursday, left my number for a call back which didn’t happen, messaged them on the chat bot page, no reply. Finally spoke to someone today who advised my 2 week return policy has lapsed and have to put in a service call. Tried to reason with the gent who was very understanding, that I haven’t had to use this product until Thursday so couldn’t have possibly known it was faulty within the 2 week return but to no avail. This unit does not work, is not fit for purpose and I honest to god wish I’d looked up reviews before purchasing. I also bought a Samsung front loader that same day from AO which has been a dream, as I have the need to use a washing machine every other day, unlike the dryer. Seriously avoid this unit like the plague these reviews are not lying. Will see what the service engineer has to say if they ever turn up.

Plastic door hinges – Plastic door hinges. They are painted to look metallic. Yes they broke of course. What else need be said. Really, don’t waste your money on this machine. I’m avoiding the company entirely. Show details

Filter light keeps flashing- despite filters being clean – Filter light keeps flashing and dryer stops working after a few minutes, when both filter and condenser are perfectly clean! See comments, others have had the same issue. AVOID this product. Show details

Useless and waste of money – This Dryer is totally useless and does not dry anything, I am so angry I wasted so much money on it, takes 3 trys to get things dry and really expensive on power. The manual is nonsense and I had a technician come out to explain how it worked. He agreed this was a bad product and although I was able to get things a bit dryer after he explained the… Read more

things that weren't in the manual. The procedure goes as follows: Put select weighted clothes in dryer on extra dry, after 30 mins when the cycle finishes take out damp wet clothes and put in express 30 min thing, after 10 mins it stops so I hang damp clothes on rack in front of heat pump.

Not worth it – Only actually dries on the highest setting. Doesn't work on sheets - just rolls them up into a warm damp ball. Stopped working after 2 and a half years (2yr warranty). Show details

Check before you buy – I have had the Haier 8kg heat pump dryer for a few months. I am so sorry I bought it. It takes HOURS AND HOURS to dry a medium load. So disappointed an annoyed!!!

Haier HD80-01 Condensor Tumble Dryer – Happy with my Condensor Tumble Dryer. It is too heavy to attach to the wall, but saves me having to open the window above my sink, when the old dryer was used. 6 years old and No problems with it. Show details

Decent washing machine – I bought this haier washing machine last year and it’s great on water usage and energy usage, I can’t say I’ve ever had any problems with it the only negative was the delay in finish load time Show details

Terrible. Do not buy it – I have used many different settings to try to get my clothes dry. Unfortunately, the Haier 8kg heat pump clothes dryer which cost me over $1100 DOES NOT DRY CLOTHES of any kind. Cotton, undies, work shirts, towels. Nothing gets even remotely dry. Show details

Would not recommend – The worst dryer that I have ever used. It only spins one way, therefore the clothes bunch up in a ball leaving the outside clothes dry and the inside (of the ball) very damp. I bought this dryer from Harvey Norman Bundall, they usually are great at helping with good choices but unfortunately not this time. Show details

Lemon – Stops prematurely after 10-15 mins, plays a tune and says END but clothes are wet and slightly warm. Show details
