Haier Washer/Dryer Ventless Combo Unit Review: Tiny House Laundry 

I've had mine in my condo for 7 years and I LOVE it! I have it in my guest bathroom. The installation was easy and it did not require any special plug or out of the ordinary plumbing. I am religious about it's maintenance and every month I do clear out the water and filter. I never had to have it serviced (knock on wood). The drying is more like steaming, which I love because it removes wrinkles. And my towels actually do dry fully in 2 hours if I do not overload. I am extremely happy. You did an awesome job with your video explanation. Cool to watch even after having mine for 7 years! It has been a game changer for me! 🙂

I’ve enjoyed all your videos. It’s wonderful to see that this chapter in your life is going so well for you.

Great info. I agree with hanging clothes to dry. In this climate, any moisture is good. Currently I have a portable washer that works great, less water and electricity usage. Love your shower curtain.

I'm convinced that I'm coming back at least four inches shorter in my next life! The smaller and more agile people like yourself,Adelina have a much better time in a tiny house! Kudos to you!

Thank you, very informative post. I have always been dubious about moisture retention with these appliances. You explained it much better than the young salesman when I bought my new washer. Wish I had seen this sooner but will be much wiser in the future. Love the way you share these important but seemingly mundane details of life. You do a wonderful job. 👌💚

Love your honesty...and I just want to say thank you for helping me learn so many things I may not have otherwise learned! Have a great day 😁

Great video. Draining the drawer - most seem to have a place on blue to press, to fully release drawer, but check manual - just after washing, also helps the machine to dry out more quickly.

Learned a lot from this video! I live in a condo but have been watching tiny house videos since I retired ten years ago. I have downsized twice over twenty years and think I could thrive in one. Anyway, laundry... my units are squeezed into a tiny laundry closet in my kitchen which I truly don’t mind. I use a tension shower rod over them to hang socks, kitchen linen, etc. I have an ikea drying rack that I put on my screened porch in warm weather for towels, lots of things. Also got an extra long drying rack from Amazon that I put my sheets on in warm weather!! Love the smell of air dried sheets! Thanks for all your tips!

Thank you for posting this! I've been wondering about their use and level of owner maintenance. This was very helpful.

I love that you always have your coffee :) makes the video seem so cozy!

Very neat unit! I didn’t even know they made these until a few months ago. You make great use of your space and thanks for sharing how this works! Have a good week. 🙂

Thank you for the review. I recently purchased a small cottage in the Adirondacks and was considering purchasing a combo unit. Your review was very informative and helpful.

I hang my bras and masks. I always leave the top up so it doesn't get smelly. I am glad you left the mistake in. That is how you learn That is the whole point of these videos

Great video - learned a lot. Thanks for introducing us to something new - calmly, no hype, excellent!

Finally!!! It has come to Canada! It is about time! It is called fussy logic. I first saw this sort of washer on T.V. when 60 min. or such like went to Japan and they were showing their washer/dryer units there about 20 years ago.

this is a gorgeous video! loved sitting having a hot drink with you while we discussed the washer dryer! Genuinely great video

Thank you for this! I have recently started looking into / researching the portable washer dryers for my small house I am moving into. This was very helpful. I had not heard of this brand before.

Adelina, I have really enjoyed your videos. I am in the process of deciding if I want to go tiny in next few years. I am on the cusp of retiring and I have learned so much watching your videos, and yes I am a subscriber to your channel. I have been researching getting and what kind of combo units. This particular video was so informative. Thanks for keeping the blooper part in the video. Your videos are so helpful and informative please keep them coming.

I was lucky enough to find the same Haier unit in a small appliance store that no one wanted! I had been researching and actually looking for one when I walked in there and saw it as a display. (owner said it had been in their store for a year and a half!) I've now had it for about 2 months and couldn't be happier. I do use the dry cycle more than not, but have used wash only and was amazed at how quickly my clothes dried just hanging on my rack. Thank you for cleaning your "trap" so now I know what to do when the time comes!

I have one of these combo units as well, and I really like it. My home is small, 800 square foot. No laundry room, the washer hookup is in the kitchen. When I bought the home, I bought a used stacked unit, but there was no direct way to vent. So did by best until these units became available in the US. I had read about them somewhere. I have had mine for about 7 years now, and I love it. I purchased a pedestal for mine, which I kind of regret. I have no access to the back of the unit, and I cannot move it, so very heavy. I have had appliance service people come out when hose needed replaced, they had trouble moving it also, because the unit is in a tight space. But all in all I love it.

I love your videos! Always a perfect blend of practical knowledge and delightful company! 😊Thank You!!

This was helpful as I’m new to front loaders. I saw you put your detergent on the left and was like what? So I googled the manual for mine and realised I’ve been putting my detergent in the prewash section, then fabric softener in the wash section, because they are labelled I and II. I also didn’t know my cats hair was gathering in the seal. Thanks for another eye opening video :)

I am so glad you showed this. I always wanted to know how they worked and your informaion was great.

It’s like watching myself doing the laundry, I have the same IKEA racks and tool to dry my clothes and I use them in spite of the fact that I have a dryer. It’s a cute little washing machine and dryer.

Thank you so much. I also have a washer dryer ventless combo (Magic Chef), which I love dearly and was wondering if I needed to clean out lint or etc and how to do any sort of preventive maintenance. Your video answered the "lint" puzzle and also what maintenance my combo needed. So sweet of you to do this video. Again, THANKS!!!

My Danby Designer washer is over 20 years old and still works great, though I've had to replace the drain hose and inlet valves. It only holds half that of a full sized washer, but will handle everything except quilts. I didn't know it had a lint filter (there was nothing in the manual) until I saw a fellow on RU-vid remove the top of the agitator and pull it out. So I found mine. I hang socks and underwear on a freestanding towel rack with three bars, and hang my shirts and leisure pants on hangers on a clothes rack on wheels. My jeans hang from a couple of belt loops on the hooks at each end of the top rack. I do have a small bedroom closet, but it has shelves up to the hanging rod, so wet and dry clothes stay on the rack, separated by a few hangers in the middle. I've been thinking about a washer/dryer combo, since it's a 45 minute drive to the nearest laundromat, but until then I'll either go there for quilt washing or stomp them in an aluminum washtub in the back garden, hang them on the clothesline and hope it rains. Thanks for pointing me to this video. Jon in rural BC, Canada

I am adoring your channel. My husband and I just sold our 5700 sq ft house and we are moving on our boat. I am Marie Kondoing the heck out of our place. I am so looking forward to being more organized and having a place for everything and everything in its place. When our little washer/dryer unit poops out on the boat one day this combo looks like it could be a great fit for us! Thanks for your video and I enjoy your content so much!

Thanks so much for the review. I live in a small home with laundry in basement and getting older with arthritis in my knee so have been seriously thinking of purchasing a combo unit. I have seen one brand that is able to vent if desired and it would actually fit in a closet.... still researching but your video has certainly helped answer some questions. Thanks again and I LOVE your home and your channel!

The first time I saw a washer/dryer combo unit was visiting a friend's home in Germany. Nice to know they are available here in North America. This was a good review, thank you.

I too, love to hang my clothes. I also have one of those "thingy's" to hang all of my undergarments. I forgot what you call it.🤔😆Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your videos.

I've been waiting for this video. Thanks for sharing.

I have the LG 2.4 CF model and I love it. Thank you for the honest review. Note that mine is plugged into a 110 v outlet (USA), and I think yours is, as well. This is important for a lot of people who consider getting something like this to know. Also, if it's used by a small household (i.e. two person), you might as well use it almost every day. This size of a combo washer/dryer is not made for a large family (with children, for example) as you can't and won't want to devote one day for laundry.

Thank you for this video (all videos, actually). I was scared of them being combined but it seems fine. I’m sure I will have to downsize again from bungalow to an apartment someday and I will not hesitate now in getting a combo unit. Thanks again.

Thanks so much! That's exactly the overview I needed! I live in a very small home and as I am getting older I am wondering why I am using full sized appliances for myself and spouse. We just replaced our fridge with a Haier and so far I am loving it and would be confident to purchase another appliance from them. Thinking of removing our dishwasher and putting this in instead. The idea of having this handy in the kitchen and doing a load of wash every day makes so much more sense than washing dishes for 2 people every 3 days! Also, I have to say that shower curtain and drying rack octopus are ADORABLE! And you answered my questions on the cat as well. :)

This was very interesting and another day in the life of a tiny house dweller. ☺️ I hang my clothes too. Your sweater is lovely!

Thanks was very informative. Been doing research for washer & dryer. Your video was very helpful. Look forward to your next video. Muito obrigada!

Thank you for this wonderful and honest review. I have been considering purchasing one of these all in one combo machines.

Thank you for making this video.I have been trying to decide if I want a combo or not for my tiny house, and after watching this, I am sold.I want a pantry in my tiny house, and this will allow me to put one on top of this combo in a built in closed cabinet, otherwise I would have no room for a pantry(and a place to set a glass down next to the fridge for filling up drinks).

Love your videos! You’re so funny and sweet and helpful! Truly Canadian 😜❤️

Your video was fantastic with info and fun visiting with you. I plan on just having a washing machine. I only hang dry my clothes, so no need for a dryer. I hang dry for the same reasons as you do. Looking forward to the next visit.

Very informative video. You’ve let me see that I could live with a combo machine. Thank you.

😂Sophie!!! Get that cat an agent! Hehe...You explain everything so well, including letting us see what could happen if it’s not drained instead of editing it out. I also like how you have the sink on top. And the IKEA octopus hanger is so fun!

Thanks for the video. I just ordered one and wanted to familiarize myself with them a little bit... Again thanks and have a great day 😁

My mom has a front loading washer that has the same hose and filter your combo unit has. I'm the one who does the maintenance on it, and I've made the same mistake, not draining the hose first, before unscrewing the filter. I would've found this video to be helpful, so I'm sure others will, too. BTW, I absolutely LOVE your shower curtain!

I am planning on building tiny,and I love 💘 all your vlogs,thank you ,great advice,love from miami

Thank you again for another informative video 😁🌻

Thank you for the information on video! I have just entered the house on Wheels category the fifth wheel RV. Just bought a washer dryer combo for 50 bucks so the cleaning and making sure everything's ready to go before I bring it in the house and see how it goes. Thanks for the info again

First of all, friends, do subscribe, bc this is a truly supportive family & where will you hear the vlogger say, “That’s the look that your cat gives you when they want you to GFO,” 🤣🤣🤣OMG Adelina! Don’t ever lose your sense of humor or ability to use acronyms like that. Too funny! I’m PMPL!! On another note, once again another thorough vlog on tiny living. How you can make a vid abt a washer/dryer combo so entertaining I’ll never know. Your deadpan yet informative delivery slays & educates me every time. Thnx good friend

I always leave my full-size washer open. Those washer/dryer combos look quite nice.

The Ikea octopus!!! "If you think I bought it 'cause it's cute, you're right!" 😂 Same here!!! I'm alone and use it 2x a week so it was a great investment! Thanks for your videos! I love 'em!!!

Great video. I have been very interested about these. We are building a small cabin and this would be nice to have in such a small space. Take care-Sue in MI.

Thank you! Exactly the information I was looking for.

This is the second video about cleaning that filter that I had seen in less that a week. I didn’t know my washing machine had a filter in there and I have it for almost 6 years 😳😆. So I stopped the video and run to see how is mine. First thing a noticed (and read for the very first time) was the sign that says: “Clean the filter every two months”. 😳😳😳🤣 I fallowed your steps and, to my surprise, the filter was very clean (and I have two cats 😉). But what surprise me the most was that I n the filter I found a ring that a had lost so much time ago that I even remember 🤣🤣🤣 🎉 . So, thank you so much.

Very informative video. Thank you!

Oh I’m eager to see how this combo works. I have an upright combo. I love the happy shower curtain 💙

Oh I always love your video posts. Love this. ❤️

I’ve always wondered about those machines, so thanks for the info. I did think they were bigger though. I personally always hang my bras year round on a hanger something like yours in the bathroom ( although yours is cuter) and certain tops because I love the smell from hanging out doors and to stop shrinkage. Stay safe. 👍🏾💯❤️. Hugz

This was very informative. Thank you for sharing!

this was super helpful! I need to see if my LG has a little hose thingie for when I clean the trap

Thank you for the info. Just bought a condo and it has one there. Going to try it today. I’ll check the lent trap, after checking the water line, glad we saw that! I’ll report back after I’ve used it. Wish me luck!

Nice recovery ! Your taking a risk poking a sleeping cat ! Happy Sunday .

Thank you I enjoy your videos informative and inspiring ☕🌞

I have the Haier in my condo & I love it! Thanks for the tip on cleaning it, I was wondering how to do that.

Very handy for small spaces! I also hang out all my clothes on a drying rack, but tumble dry my bed linen and towels.

I just love you and all you share!🥰

A w/d is the only thing I wish I had in my rv/tiny house. Don’t miss a dishwasher, as I prefer to wash my dishes by hand anyway! I don’t mind going to a laundromat, and in order to keep my rv on the smaller end a w/d wasn’t an option. But I do miss the convenience of having one. Was a VENTED w/d combo an option for you in your tiny house? Kari🌞

Thanks for another great video. I also have a front loader, when you didn’t pull off the white plug to drain the water I’m thinking no,no, when you turned the black cap. Lol.

It DOES exist! I had always wondered why this wasn't a thing, but it turns out it is a thing after all. My wife and I are building a small home and this will be perfect for saving space. Great content, thank you!

Haier bought Fisher & Paykel and GE Appliance. Excellent value for money and very reliable.

Lorraine, that was awesome video. Thank You

Nice Startup on The Haier Washer and Dryer I would do more startups soon on my clothes

I am a new owner of a combo washer/dryer. Thank you very much.

I enjoy your videos and have been following you for a while now. I’m 73, single with heart failure so Ive made some changes. I, like you, lived in a larger space, a house for 48 yrs in Seattle. I now live in an Intershelter Dome, insulated, 314 sq ft in back yard of my daughters family. Im on an island in SE Alaska. I had a condo here, which was nice, but I like more seclusion. I do have a storage unit still. I love my cozy dome. I bought a stackable washer/dryer but its not hooked up yet, and requires drilling through to vent. Which we can do, like we did for my propane waterless on demand water heater, which I love! I have researched the combos like yours but not lately so was interested how you get along with it. The complaints were that they don’t dry the clothes. I don’t want to hang up clothes to dry, but after watching your video I get the impression if I just fill it half way, it will dry? Am I correct on this? Love your beautiful and so well designed tiny home! You are methodical, smart, and so creative with your colors and decor. Love it. Thank you for your hard work on these videos, very helpful. Granny in TinyHomeAlaska

seems like a very efficent laundry system enjoy your videos

I do like Haier products. I own a small chest freezer. I would get another one next time. Except, it would be an upright. Now, you have sold me on the all in one washer/dryer (I live in a small home and I think it would work for me).

Hi. I’m in England and have a washer dryer. I would love separate if I had space but our houses and kitchens are generally smaller(ours is 3m by 3m). In uk we tend to dry outdoors as much as possible. I tend to only use the dryer to fluff up towels when they are nearly dry. I find the dryer takes ages compared to you tube videos I watch from America. Also their machines seem much bigger too. We have a touring caravan for getaways so love watching your channel.

Very informative! Thank you so much!

I really like you Ms. You seem like a great person. Have a great day.

I just love your videos.

I have separate washer and dryer. But my dryer isn't vented. We're not allowed vented dryers in our condo building. The building is very old. But we were allowed to have our suite plumbed for a washer and also have 220 wiring put in. Our dryer is a heat pump dryer. I love it. I might not like it, if I compared it to a regular in suite dryer. But when I compare it to schlepping my laundry down to the basement, possibly having to wait for an empty machine and needing to have loonies and toonies on me, I absolutely love my washer and heat pump dryer. The brand i have is Blomberg. It takes longer than a regular dryer, and there is a filter that you have to rinse out every third wash. But those are small downsides, in my opinion.

Great video and channel! Thank You for sharing.

For larger load like a bed blanket, we can get a larger combo machine I assume if you live in apartment or condo with limited space. Another pro is no need to take cloth out for drying process, cloth in and cloth out on one shot - just leave it on there until it is dried.

I got my combo yesterday, it says in the instructions book you suppose to empty the water out & clean the filter once a month. If you don’t do it regularly it could catch fire that’s what my instruction book said. Thanks for showing how to use these washer/ dryer combo.

Terrific video, very comprehensive.

Interesting. I would buy one of that w/d combo. I love your bathroom.

I live in a very small space and I use a hand crank washer. Clothes come out wet and I put them in a electric laundry spinner and then hang my clothes to dry. I was wondering about the strip you used for washing. Not sure if they would work well for my washer.

Thank you for sharing! Great tips!

I have enough space to have a separate washer & dryer. I do use my dryer. I also leave my washer door open & I dry the inside down with a cloth. It was suggested to me to also open the area where soap is dispensed as moisture can collect there. My units are in my basement. My cat likes to go down there sometimes. When the washer door is open I do not let him down there. I also do not think he'd jump in but cats are unpredictable. 🐈

Great video!!

I've been interested in knowing about these combo units, so this was very helpful, thank you. One thing--I'm assuming it dries electrically; is it an expensive appliance to run since it seems to need very long dryer cycle times, especially (presumably) for heavy things like towels? I feel quite a bit more knowledgeable about them now.

How well does the dryer aspect work? The combo unit I had in England was useless as a dryer.

Great review! Very Pleasant way about you.

Great content. Thanks.

I have done this so I knew you were going to get water from that filter lol!

Also you liked that cute hanging thing, because the colour right?! :) I also leave the top up open to prevent creating too much moisture inside...such a small tip, but it does wonders to prevent further problems. Thanks again!

Great video. We always leave the washer open too. Was wondering about moisture in a tiny house that would come from hanging clothes to dry inside?

Great video! Thank you so much for showing us your washer/dryer unit... always was curious about one... but never had the pleasure of actually getting close to one. Very nice! 🙂

Very handy setup even better if you could reverse the swing of the washer door.

Hello, I just found your channel. Thank you for explaining how to use your washing machine, as I am getting one tomorrow and want to know a bit about it. As I have never had one before. I have moved into a townhouse, and my top-loaded washing machine won’t fit. It was time to get a new one anyway as my old one leaks water now…Thank you.

I'm assuming this is about the size of a dishwasher? I just bought a tiny home and I'm shopping around for a machine like this. But I'd only have space for it under the kitchen counter. Would you buy his model again or buy one that can do vented and condensing?
