With the costs of energy on the rise, it is very important that you turn your home into a green-home. One of the best ways to begin this process is to switch out your high-energy consuming washing machine for a more efficient model. If you are interested in doing this, than you will need to purchase a front load washing machine, however, there are literally hundreds of front load washing machines on the market, so which ones are worth your money? The Haier 1.5 Cu. Ft. Washer/Dryer Combo, Model: HWD1000 will provide you with all of the necessary features to accurately clean your clothes, without using massive amounts of water that traditional washing machines use. I would recommend this washer/dryer combo for smaller families or single working professionals.

Main Product Features:

As stated earlier, this washing machine is not suitable for those with large families. The reason for this is because the overall drum capacity of this washing machine is 1.5 cubic feet, which is enough room for a small family or a single professional, but not large enough if you have several children living at home. However, if you are searching for a secondary washing machine, and dryer, to go into your boat, RV or a vacation home, than this will be your ideal appliance.

With advanced features, this compact front load washing machine will treat your clothes with the upmost care. With a genuine stainless steel washing drum, your clothes will be washed more accurately, and the stainless steel drum is less-prone to wear-and-tear. Because of the overall design and various features placed within this front load washing machine, you can expect it to last you many years.

However, one of the coolest features of this appliance is the fact that it is your washing machine and dryer within one appliance. Basically, this one machine will accurately wash and dry your clothes. There are a total of 7 Fabric Care Wash Cycles and 4 Drying Cycles you are able to choose from. While there have been many different washer/dryer combos circulating throughout the market, none of these have come to the overall engineering of this appliance.

You will not have to worry about attaching a vent to this washer/dryer appliance because the moisture is condensed out of your clothes and sent to the drain instead of out a vent. This Haier washer/dryer combo is one of the most well-built appliances within this category, and I highly suggest it for those who are looking for a simpler way to do their laundry.

Haier XQG50-11 Front Load Washer/Dryer Combo got to be praised for its silent operation and there are hardly any shakes. No wonder it weighs around 170 pounds. You need definitely two people to carry it inside your home. And in my case the delivery man looked like Arnold and he hardly asked me for help.

It would be better on your path to follow the manual supplied with it. I have a marble floor and moving it over with its wonderful wheels was absolutely easy. But my neighbor had a very hard time moving it, as his rooms were totally carpeted. I saw the carpet getting attached to the wheels, it would be better if you are a team of two while moving the equipment over the carpet.

Haier XQG50-11 Front Load Washer/Dryer Combo comes with a little drawer on the top of the washer. This is indeed a thoughtful addition and I would praise it all the way as I am very famous in my neighborhood for misplacing things. You can place your cleaning agents safely in it.

Unpacking this Haier XQG50-11 equipment is indeed a quite easy job. You definitely need a screw driver to remove those shipping bolts. There would be three bolts and you can hardly miss them as they are an exact replica of each other. These bolts ought to be removed.

Haier XQG50-11 uses very less soap compared with other products in the market. I would not advise you to use liquid soap as it is indeed a very big nuisance. It fills up the whole machine.

Haier XQG50-11 fails miserably when it comes to drying and you definitely need to run the machine for extra hours in order to dry your clothes. This is indeed a lousy dryer and it is in a way a nuisance. If you are comfortable in making your machine run for extra hours, this would not be a problem. But if you need a perfect dryer, this machine is not your solution.

Overall this Haier XQG50-11 is suitable for people who really care for their budget. This is a highly economical device and it uses very less soap. Good for the environment as well as your pocket. If you do not care for the dryer, you can buy this little giant.
