Haier washing machines

Haier washing machines in Russia are not as popular as Bosch or LG, so few will be able to say who the manufacturer of such a machine is. In fact, Haier is a very famous Chinese home appliance company. Many people are attracted by the price of this equipment, but let’s try to find out what the quality of a washing machine of this brand is, what its capabilities are, what its disadvantages are.

Manufacturer Haier

Haier is located in China and was founded in 1984. Translated from Chinese, haier means “sea”; this name really suits it, because this brand produces not only washing machines, but also other household appliances and electronics, for example, televisions, computers, telephones, refrigerators, etc.

In fact, the plant for the production of equipment was built back in the 20s of the 20th century, and produced refrigerators. By 1984, the plant was on the verge of bankruptcy, which is why it was decided to transfer the leadership of the Qingdao Refrigeration Company to a new manager and rename the plant “Haier”.

The main goal of this company: taking into account the needs of customers, to present them with innovative equipment of excellent quality and at an affordable price.

The production of washing machines under this brand is carried out not only in factories built in China, but also in factories located in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, the USA, five factories were built on the African continent. In Russia, the Haier plant is located in Naberezhnye Chelny.

   Elena:

   The Haier washing machine does its job poorly: it spoils things and does not wash stains. Doesn't rinse out detergent. After washing white, you must clean the entire machine, otherwise white threads will get on dark things, and vice versa.

   Love:

   We bought a Haer washing machine, and after 2 weeks it started leaking. The service center employees said that the cuff was torn and it was our fault. During 2 weeks of use, we turned it on a maximum of 4-5 times and only washed clothes. The cuff costs 3,000 rubles, excluding the cost of the work itself.It would have been naive to expect any other conclusion from the customer service other than “it’s their own fault.” But I don’t give up and will sue.
