Washing machines made for every family

Fully Automatic top load washers let you spend more time with family 

Aside from being tedious, laundry work takes precious time away from the things that matter most—family.

This is true, even with a washing machine. Many modern homes still use a two-tub semi-automatic washing machine with a washer separate from the spin dryer. While the dryer adds efficiency, the process of waiting for the wash to end then transferring wet and heavy clothes to the dryer can interrupt chores as well as quality time. The process doubles with more clothes to wash.

This is what larger capacities, a single tub for washing and drying, and fully automatic operation aim to address. Fully automatic top load washing machines offer such advantages to lessen strain and add comfort to doing laundry.  All you have to do is toss your laundry in and pick your wash and dry settings. You then get to have more time to do other household work, as well as have fun with your loved ones.

“Running the household and taking care of the family takes a lot of multitasking skills, and that is what our appliances can help us,” said Marvin Fetilo, Haier Philippines’ Product Manager for washing machines. “Fully automatic top load washing machines redefine your washing experience so you exert less effort, worry less about your family’s clothes, and do more with your time.”

Haier’s fully automatic top load washing machines combine the best of technology and design so that doing the laundry becomes effortless and efficient. On top of this, you get to spend more quality time with yourself and your family.

Efficient and versatile

Top load washers from Haier come with eight washing programs and ten water levels to accommodate the type and volume of your laundry. The time delay function further lets you soak your clothes for a specified period of time before starting the wash cycle.

Compared to semi-automatic units, Haier’s washing machines clean more clothes with an 8kg to 10kg capacity, making them ideal for an entire household’s dirty laundry. They also use a double-pole stainless-steel basket to match the washer’s high-speed spins and powerful Storm Wash cleaning capacity.

Each washer is designed with a Tub Dry feature that dries the inner and outer tub to prevent mildew growth, as well as a filter to keep laundry smooth and lint-free. The machine’s pulsator also provides garments with an even wash without being rough or taking up space unlike agitators in other washing machines.

“The cleanliness of your clothes matters a lot to your family’s hygiene, as well as to the impression you make on other people,” Fetilo said. “The right washing machine helps you create a smarter home that enhances your family’s health and lifestyle,” he added.

Haier’s top loading washers are available at Robinsons stores nationwide.

The suggested retail price of the HWM80–P1201 unit is P13,998, while the HWM100–P1201 unit is P15,998. Both models come with a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

How much can you really save on an inverter ref?

Haier’s inverter tech brings energy savings beyond standards

Inverter technology has revolutionized home appliances, bringing greater energy efficiencies that translate to more savings. In particular, refrigerators—which traditionally consume almost 1,800kwh/year—are now being designed with digital inverter compressors that cut down electricity consumption from about 500 to 380kwh/year.

Digital inverters are fast becoming the standard for modern home refrigerators. However, innovations are pushing the limits of what inverters can do to help households enjoy real savings from their appliances.

Greater efficiency, less power

Inverter compressors adapt to the cooling needs of refrigerators. Unlike conventional counterparts that consume the same amount of energy whether the fridge is frequently used or not, inverter compressors “slow down” when they don’t need to actively decrease the temperature, such as at night. This lessens energy consumption while reducing wear and tear on the compressor.

Haier takes the technology a step further with its FICA Ref Series.

“Our FICA Ref Series is equipped with an FD-Plus inverter compressor, which is integrated into a single conversion chip for better reliability compared with other inverter compressors,” said Haier's Senior Product Manager for Refrigerators and Air Conditioners, Jennifer Samson.

Previous compressors from the brand had frequency plates that consumed 0.6W on standby power. The newer FD-Plus inverter compressor cuts this down further to less than 0.1W when idle—the lowest in the refrigerator industry.

“The chip also runs on a 32-bit operating system, unlike typical digital inverters that run on a 16-bit OS. This greatly enhances cooling performance for better food storage and cost efficiency," Samson added.

All in all, the FD-Plus inverter consumes power from 245 to 310kwh/year.

“The cost of electricity is often a major setback when it comes to modern conveniences like refrigerators,” Samson said. “This is a challenge that Haier wants to address to help families enjoy life at home without the high cost.”

These benefits come on top of other features such as a 360-degree duct that allows pervasive cooling air flow, a brighter LED lamp that saves more energy, tempered glass shelving that can load up to 120kg of food, and anti-odor and anti-bacterial deodorizer that helps preserve food quality.

Haier’s two-door top-mount FICA refrigerators are available in three different sizes: 8.5, 9.3, and 11.1 cubic feet. The suggested retail price for each is P20,998, P23,598, and P26,598 respectively.

All FICA refrigerators come with a two-year warranty on parts and labor, as well as a ten-year warranty for the compressor.

“Home appliances should be designed to enhance the lifestyle of the consumer. That’s why for the Filipino market, Haier combines good quality, affordable cost, and excellent after-sales service to provide every family with the comfort they deserve,” Samson said.
