Haier HDW13V1

This Dishwasher cleaned well intially, but was quite loud. Less than a year in, began tripping the power, after over $700 of electrical visits and repairs, and 4 service visits that could find no fault, F&P (parent company) agreed to replace, Suprise Suprise new machine in place and no more power trips! Costly expense and money that we did not… Read more

have, as well as months and months without a dishwasher while it was away getting checked! Replacement Haier has also had to be returned faulty after only less than a week of use! Will never buy Haier or FP again!

Good Value dishwasher, easy to use – I bought this dishwasher on sale 2 weeks ago at Harvey Norman and it was easy to install and it has been running smoothly since. It isn't too noisy and dries the dishes quite well even on the shortest cycle. Dishes come out nice and shiny so no issues as long as it keeps doing this. I really like the delayed start which I use often to wash on solar power, from 1-24hrs. A good buy for the price, I would recommend it. Show details

Good, but very noisy, 1 star related to noise – Good, but very noisy compared with the one it replaced after 10 years of usage, if I was aware of the noise it makes would not have bought it, evenso it washes perfect but as a free standing unit noise is very annoying, wonder why manufacturer Haier allowed this to happen.its 5 stars for washing but 1 star related to the noise it makes Show details

Great dishwasher for the price – We initially bought a more expensive dishwasher and after 2 weeks we returned it because it was useless. Bought this one and haven't had a single issue. Yes, it's slightly noisier than the more expensive brands but it works exactly how it's supposed to every time. Sure, the expensive brand had every bell and whistle you could think of, including… Read more

wifi connectivity (seriously...who actually needs a dishwasher to connect to wifi in the real world?). This dishwasher just does what it's supposed to...washes dishes and dries them. It would be an improvement if the bottom rack could fold flat for large pots, but we haven't really had an issue getting our dishes to fit. I recommend this dishwasher for somebody that just wants a simple machine that will do a good job, at a good price.

A bit noisy but great value – We recently had to replace our old dishwasher. The Haier was the most affordable we could find at short notice. The unit was easily installed and up & running within 20 minutes of unpacking. I have "tradie" skills, but I reckon anyone capable of crawling around on the floor and under cabinets should be able to manage. The trays are as you'd… Read more

expect of a modern dishwasher, although the bottom tray is not adjustable to create flat areas for pots and pans. It makes it a little awkward to place a number of them, especially larger ones, because the plate racks stick up (see photo).

The upper tray's two position height adjustment is useful and somewhat necessary given the non adjustable bottom tray (see above); tall pots such as stock pots will need the additional height the top shelf can provide.

We didn't like the cutlery holder, which takes up a bit of room and is fiddly. We use a third party one that we'd procured some time ago for the previous dishwasher.

Program selection is straight forward. There are a number of different cycles that can be selected. We find the Light (90 minute) cycle works for our 2 person household. HANDY HINT: Read the instructions first.

As others have observed, this dishwasher is noisy, especially when compared to our previous unit. Not bad noisy, you just know it's working. However, I have noticed that with large loads the noise is less noticeable.

The dishwasher runs very hot, so best to wait for a few minutes before opening the door at the end of cycle.

Drying is reasonably effective and dishes do come out sparkling clean.

All in all, if it proves as reliable as it is effective, the HAIER HDW13V1W1 will be good value.

Excellent for the price – We've had several Bosch dishwashers. They've all been good, but Bosch prices have increased a lot, and their cheaper models are still using the same old analogue controls from 15 years ago. We paid $435 for the Hiaer model. It is a fairly noisy dishwasher. As in you'll hear water swishing about vigorously when washing. The other motor type sounds… Read more

are present sometimes, but not loud or obnoxious.

The plastic white trim is not quite symmetrical and feels a bit cheap. But the stainless steel model was $600. The dishwasher looks fine.

Anyway, the dishes are cleaned and dried well. The racks are actually much sturdier than the flimsy junk Bosch puts in their low end models.

Wet dishes are also a hallmark of low end dishes. Choice complained about the energy efficiency of this model, and I was very pleased the Haier dishwasher is "wasting" energy by actually drying the dishes properly.

I don't really mind the water swishing sound. The dishwasher performs well, and saves us hundreds. And the modern digital controls are sleek and user friendly. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Btw, for anyone who does not know, Haier is the world's largest appliance manufacturer. They bought Fisher and Paykel. I generally avoid cheap Chinese appliances, as most are mediocre to junk. I've now had a Haier gas stove, fridge, washing machine, and dishwasher, and the quality is consistently very good. The dishwasher is much nicer than the low end Bosch that costs double the price.

Rubbish - product and the back up service – Faulty on delivery - cannot change rise aid setting etc. Its very very loud No line help useless. Given them the information and they do not read is instead asking me to scroll through their FAQ's, which i had already done. So we have a dishwasher that not any good to use. Never again. Show details

Reasonable value at a budget price – Ambassador programme reviewer who received this machine a week prior to Christmas. Very well packaged for transit, installation was simple enough to replace where our Bosch had been. For me this is a little ‘Too Bright White’ in colour but this is a personal preference thing, it has a nice enough appearance in my kitchen ✅. Liked the long stemmed… Read more

wine glasses rack at top (which my Bosch didn’t have), the cutlery drawer can be modified to accept thicker handled knives & cutlery by removing the top grid cover. I found the controls easy to work out and instruction booklet simple enough ✅ (although tabs don’t load flat like others, they drop in the slot vertically). Larger plates couldn’t fit but it accepts normal sized dinner plates . Washed both greasy baked on casserole and glasses to a sparkling clean on the eco wash and I was impressed to find my glasses were dry even when I ran the first load without the finish brand rinse aid ✅ which is recommended by the manufacturer and sample tabs & rinse product is included for the first couple of washes. Bottom rack slides out easily which can mean it’s also easy to disengage from the machine altogether if you’re unaware which could create a problem, it’s not that easy to feed it back either ❌. Overall, I would say it’s at the budget end of the market and it’s functional although not designed or constructed as well as other brands I’ve used, it’s a little noisier and feels more ‘tinny’ than others.

Beyone my expectations – This is a great dishwasher. I was a little concerned that my dinner plates may not fit, based on some other reviews I had read, but that is not an issue for me. The plates fit just fine. I also soon discovered, this model allows you to adjust the height of the upper drawer, so even my larger (special occasion) dinner plates will now be able to go… Read more

in the dishwasher - so no need to hand wash those dinner plates on Christmas Day anymore, yippee!

My last dishwasher was more than 14 years old, and was starting to tell me that it wanted to retire. This model has been the perfect replacement. The outer dimensions are very similar to the old one, but internally, it seems it fits more in there.

This model doesn’t have the feature of folding down the plate holders in the lower rack (for larger pots and dishes), but it hasn’t been an issue when I’ve put larger items in there.

The cutlery basket is interesting. The cutlery I have has a broad base at the handle, so many pieces don’t fit in the grid supplied, so I removed it from one side of the basket, but kept it on the other, as it does ensure the cutlery (that does fit) is adequately spaced out to ensure a better wash of the cutlery.

I do kinda wish it had a cutlery drawer (which I think the model above has) - but, to be fair, even though all the cutlery I’ve washed thus far has been in the supplied basket, its all come out clean - none of it has had to be rewashed. So the cutlery draw is more of thing of convenience than function, I think?

The sound the machine makes during the wash cycle is what I would say is average. Its about the same, if not quieter, than my last machine, so I don’t find it to be too loud at all.. It gives a few quiet beeps when the cycle has finished, but I barely hear it from the next room when it happens. I could easily put this on when I went to bed, and not be disturbed by the noise.

Most importantly though, the wash function is amazing. Some pieces I have put in the machine for cleaning have come out shining, much more than I expected. I’ve used most wash cycles, but I generally use the auto cycle for everything, as that tends to do a great job. I’ve left dried on weet-bix, and other dried out pasta dishes, and the dishwasher has handled them with ease (my last dishwasher struggled with these, even when using the pot wash cycle). I do usually try to rinse dishes before they go in the dishwasher, but this doesn’t happen 100% of the time. But so far, the dishwasher has cleaned the dishes with ease, usually on the Auto wash setting. It makes having a dishwasher in my kitchen a joy to have, once again.

The ‘dry’ feature at the end of the cycle was a ‘must-have’ for me, I strongly dislike getting things out from the dishwasher still soaking wet. (It does a great job of trying to dry the plastics too, though through their design, there is often water left in the lip of plastic lids so they are still wet because of that, but the rest of the item is dry). It makes unstacking the dishwasher a much easier, quicker, and pleasant process.

The buttons on the front of the machine are easy to press, and easy to clean. The display is easy to understand, to know what program is selected, and how much longer is scheduled to go on the cycle. Adding the wash tablet, and adding / topping up the rinse aid is easily done on the inside of the door.

And lastly, but definitely not least, the delivery process, was so prompt and efficient, the dishwasher was delivered so seamlessly. And the delivery team who delivered my unit did such a great job. They were on time (based on when I was advised they would arrive), courteous, efficient, answered all my questions (not that I had that many on the day), they took away my old machine with no issues, left my kitchen tidy, and also ensured the new machine was correctly connected (that it turned on, drew in, and drained correctly) before they left. It certainly made the whole process a lot easier.

Overall, its a great product, and great delivery service. I'd 100% recommend anyone considering this, to seriously evaluate it.

Extremely Pleased – This is my first experience with any dishwasher and wasn't really sure what to expect. Was a bit old school, with the notion that there is nothing wrong with doing dishes by hand. Was very happy with how well it fit with the look of my kitchen, which is small and had no option for a built in dishwasher, so having this stand alone option was… Read more

great. The colour choices were good too. It is sturdy enough to act as my microwave and coffee machine bench.

Super easy to use, even for a newbie, no complicated buttons or options. Little window tells you how much time is left in minutes.

What really surprised me was how incredibly clean the dishes came out. My glasses and cutlery literally gleamed. No streak marks and water stains, or missed smudgy spots. Was so excited at how clean they came out that I sent everything in my kitchen through it in the first week. The plates came out super clean as well. Even the coffee jar came out looking better than brand new. Glass pot lids as well are now super clean. Could not imagine going back to washing by hand, as I could never achieve these kinds of results.

Was a little disappointed that it didn't get the same results on my frying pan, although I have definitely seen improvement on that too now it has gone through a few times. It even does pretty good on my pyrex after baking, although that does require a little bit of work before putting it in. Soaking it and scraping off the worst of the baked on mess sees it coming out just as gleaming as my glasses.

Most things come out dry (and quite warm), although the plastic lids tend to still be a little wet, especially the ones with the inserts for seals.

It is rated at using 11.5 L per wash and I have been monitoring it on my solar app for power usage. It spiked at about 2.3 kWh for about 15 minutes throughout the cycle, otherwise the power consumption was pretty good.

The cutlery box can be easily dismantled into two smaller pieces and I only use half of it as it takes up too much room and don't usually require both halves, so that flexibility is good. The bottom tray has prongs in some awkward spots, so it is a bit tricky sorting out pots and pans and although it claims to be able to do a 13 piece set, I suspect you would have be some kind of gifted engineer to load it to fit that much. There is also no option to lower/raise the trays to accommodate larger items in the bottom tray.

The noise level seems to be okay, you can definitely hear it running but it isn't so intrusive that you notice it too much. Without any real prior experience with dishwashers, I have no comparison point, except to say it is much quieter than my washing machine. It beeps to let you know when it is done.

The shortest cycle, is for rinse only and that is 20 minutes, the other cycles range from 90 to 174 minutes. The little bay for the tablets is easy to use but I do find that managing to get any rinse aid in without making a bit of a mess is challenging, and you can't really tell whether it is full or not.

Overall am very happy with this dishwasher and the few niggles are only minor. It is perfect for my needs and it makes me extremely happy now when I open my cutlery draw and see how shiny everything is!

Overall very impressed, very good for the price point – This is a great dishwasher for the price. We've put some heavily soiled items in it and it cleans as good as a higher end dishwasher. It just falls short on noise and internal layout. Firstly the setup was easy. We just removed our old dishwasher and it slotted straight in, however the water pipe and electric lead are shorter than our old… Read more

dishwasher, so we had to use an extension cord to plug it in.

We used the recommended tablets and rinse aid, and it washes perfectly, very clean with heavy soiling however we've not tried anything baked on in the oven. 98% of stuff comes out dry, with only few plastic things still wet.

The top tray can easily be raised to fit bigger items below, and it's got enough basic functions for everyday needs. No half load or quick wash that our old dishwasher had, but again, it's a lower price point and does the basic job really well.

It is fairly noisy while in operation. Our kitchen is away from our living area, but if you had an open plan setup with kitchen & living space, it may annoy you. And the finish signal beep is very loud and annoying, but it can be turned off.

There is a lack of foldable tines in the drawers, which stops big pots being placed in bottom tray easily. We have a Thermomix and the bowl doesn't sit easily in the bottom drawer, it has to go on an angle to fit in between the tines and takes up more space this way.

The cutlery box also takes up much needed room in the bottom drawer, so it has room for a family of 2 or 3, but we have family of 4 and there’s not enough room to fit all our daily stuff (Thermomix bowl included).

Overall I'm still very impressed. It's a great budget dishwasher and I would recommend it over some other brands we've had in the past at a similar price point.

Very poor quality product. Major failure in one year and no replacement/refund – I bought this dishwasher in February 2020 with two year warranty, and have looked after this product ever since. However, just about one year after purchase (March 2021), the dishwasher would no longer operate (i.e., a major failure). I contacted manufacturer and the retailer (The Good Guys) and organised a repairer to repair it, but was advise… Read more

that the pump and other parts have failed (resulting in internal flooding), and they could not repair it but have to send it back to the manufacturer.

Both the manufacturer and store (The Good Guys) refused to acknowledge & honour the Australian Consumer Law in offering a refund or even replacement even though the dishwasher cannot be repaired in a reasonable time (almost 3 weeks have passed, and still no information on when the dishwasher will be fixed). The Store Manager was also very rude and denied the request of getting a replacement dishwasher or even a loan one during the repair process, despite the Australian Consumer Law Statutory Guarantees.

Given the poor quality and support from Haier (Fisher & Paykel), and The Good Guys, I would strongly recommend all potential buyers to avoid this brand at all costs.

Complaint timeline: 0. Dishwasher failed in late March, but was on holiday, and Fisher & Paykel could not be reached for more than 30 minutes on the phone. 1. Both The Good Guys and Haier (Fisher & Paykel) were contacted on the 8th April 2021 to report this issue and required urgent repair/replacement/refund to be issued/carried out. 2. Repairer (organised by The Good Guys and Haier) attended site on 13th April, and advised it was a total failure, which they could not repair within a reasonable time, advised me to contact store for other options. 3. Contacted The Good Guys on 13th April, but was advise that a report from repairer was needed; and was denied of any help. Multiple complaints were raised with the store and Store Manager, and a re-assessment/pick-up was organised on 16th April. 4. Repairer failed to attend site, and no contact was made at all (a full day waiting at home was lost). 5. Repairer attended site on 21st April to disassemble the dishwasher, and their work left the entire kitchen sink and faucet in-operable (cannot use the sink now). And no time frame of repair/replacement has been offered.

haier stainless steel freestanding dishwasher 60cm – The buttons are super easy to use. Dishes fit in well. I find though there is a loud clunking noise when turns to next cycle so not sure if that's normal or not, but other than that it's not too noisy. Washes dishes great ! It was affordable and so far, so good. I would recommend. Show details

Excellent dishwasher value for money – This stainless steel dishwasher is a free-standing model and value for money which I bought from the Good Guys in Watergarden. Among the other brands this dishwasher is very price competitive and comprises of all essenntial functions and easy to operate as well
