Haier XQG5011

Pros: Quiet, cheapest in class, less soap, "set and forget" operation, no shakes, one machine washes/dries

Cons: takes longer to wash/dry than separate washer/dryers, durability is sorely lacking

The Bottom Line: Cheap & does the job superbly for 6 months... Then you'll have to get Haier to send you a new one. Please only use HE detergent

Review: WARNING: Review updated Sept. 2003, read Flood Warning! (bottom)

The Order:
Originally, we were thinking about a Thor or an Equator, but they were too pricey and their reviews weren t good enough to justify it. After months of...

Pros: Nice compact size, cleans great when it runs, easy to use

Cons: No support from manufacturer, poor overall quality and reliability

The Bottom Line: Don't be tempted by the low price. This machine will break down and then remain in a state of repair ever after.

Review: I joined Epinions for the sole purpose of sharing my experience with this machine. I purchased the XQG50-11 in January of 2004 and owned it up until the beginning of October of 2005.

For years, I had relied on laundromats and finally a...

Pros: Nothing to say in favor.

Cons: Slow, inadequate dryer, smelly towels.

Review: I rented an expensive new apartment with one of these washer/dryers. I thought "how bad could it be?" I'm single, don't wash a lot of clothes, and am not that picky about wrinkles, etc. Well, when my lease is up I will be moving out because this...

Pros: It is compact, one machine vs two and the casters seem to work ok.

Cons: Does not dry well, wrinkles clothes, takes over 4 hours to do one SMALL load.

Review: We purchased this machine because we were tired of the apartment laundry being crowded all the time and tired of going out to the other laundromats. This sounded like a perfect solution. We had to get an adapter for the faucet, and then subsequently...

Pros: Saves space, energy efficient, quiet.

Cons: see review.

The Bottom Line: Overall, I enjoy using this machine a lot. If you have confined spaces, no vent and only have 110 voltage outlet then this is the way to go.

Review: I just bought this washer/dryer combo in December 0f 2002. I have been using it for about a month. So far it is great. I no longer have to carry my load of laundry to the laundromat and wait for 2 hours. What's also great is the fact that you don't...

Pros: Washes great, don't use the dryer.

Cons: see review

Review: First -- the dryer does not work.

The washer is a very good one. Water extraction is so good you can air dry the clothes indoors.

Use Tide 'HE' soap powder 1/3 of measuring cup.

You must balance the load -- very...

Pros: The machine is efficient and easy to use making laundry day less onerous

Cons: It breaks down with greater frequency than regular machines and is difficult to repair

The Bottom Line: The machine is difficult to repair and has a greater frequency of breakdowns compared to the separate washers and dryers, I would not recommend it for purchase.

Review: I had enjoyed the functionality of my Washer/Dryer with the following exceptions:
The first machine I bought had a funny quirk; it filled itself with water without prompting.On several occasions, I found the machine filled with water and...

Pros: Quiet, economical, small size for a washer dryer combo.

Cons: I seems to last 2 months.

Review: Can't improve on the review by fioness3, I agree with every detail. I lived alone at the lake and always threw in a load when I went to bed. Very quiet, but the wrinkles drove me crazy!
After 2 months, the thing started smoking and burning...
