Haier HWDX1590CTB1

Do like ⦁ Self dispenser that holds just under 2L is great, did not shop for it but would require it on any future purchases ⦁ Does the job no smells or surprises, cycle time what I expect Dries well when you pick the right setting. ⦁ The barrel is huuuuge, I love it ~600mm wide and 400mm deep ⦁ Quiet, not Miele quiet but with direct motor I have to regularly go into the laundry to make sure it’s on, replaced a 10kg Samsung (the model just before they caught fire) and it’s much better. ⦁ Nothing that I can find which needs to be cleaned every time it dries, I checked the cleanout after 10 washes and it was immaculate to my surprise. ⦁ Double protection on the door means it’s not hot to touch even on a 90 degree wash.. though the whole machine gets very warm when drying.

Don’t like ⦁ Black colour does not work with most people’s laundries and highlights scratches and dirt, no white option at the moment. ⦁ Dispenser only accessible at the top so you can’t under mount it ⦁ The controls take an unusual amount of holding down to work, the play button for example needs to be held down for over 3 seconds to run selecting the cycle type works instantly the wash modifiers instantly… just about everything else has a weird built-in delay. ⦁ Pressing Dry and then Towels instead does a fully wash and then dry… instead of just knowing that it’s drying towels ⦁ Like many people we don’t use softener, however the machine incessantly flashes at you unless you put something in it. So I filled it with water ;| ⦁ The detergent lid and compartment covers constantly have moisture on them, much worse when you’ve done a dry, yet the manual specifically says leave these closed I wonder if all this moisture is going to kill internal components fast? ⦁ There is an optional bottom cover, the installers said they are not sure it’s a good thing as it reduces airflow through the machine, I might take this off after a dry and see how bad it is in there. ⦁ The thing makes a annoying jingle at the end of the wash, yet to figure out how to turn this off

A separate section for how bad the app is, it’s useless.

It’s functionality requires you to turn on the device (by being in front of it) after it turns on you then have to hold down the remote button with your load already in and the door closed. Then you have to make your decision within 30 seconds or the machine turns back off. ⦁ You cannot remotely turn on ⦁ You cannot remotely change an existing cycle that it’s started (can’t add a rinse, add/remove a dry etc) ⦁ The thing turns off before you can tell it instead of just washing, to continue to dry… you get something like 1 min after it finished the current operation which is painful ⦁ You cannot do any of the wash modifiers, so you want to add a rinse to your towel wash? Not in the app you arn’t.

Missed expectations:

1, if the machine is on I want it to be available for control in the app, there was enough stuffing around to get it wifi connected with wavers signed. Even better give me the option of making it accessable all the time 2, I want the app to have access to much more data (wash history inc time, power/water used etc 3, I want the control panel to instead be a LCD where I can replace/rename the the wash types with the cycles I regularly use in the order and with the icon I want (we’re in 2026 guys) that way the WAF can immediately select the correct wash from the list of what I’ve made available on the front of the machine

Not recommended – unpleasant smells and poor drying performance I regret purchasing the Haier HWDX1590CTB1 washer-dryer combo. The drying cycle leaves clothes with a strong, unpleasant smell—similar to diesel, oil, or melting plastic. Not only is the smell difficult to remove, but it also causes skin irritation and itchiness. During drying, fabric particles and odors are released into the air, making the laundry room feel stuffy and polluted. We had to install a fan just to ventilate the space after each use. It's not suitable for installation inside a closed cupboard, as the air quality is very poor.

Overall, I am very disappointed with this appliance. I cannot recommend it, especially for people sensitive to smells or with limited ventilation in their laundry space.
