Great idea, poor durability

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 deliberations... read entire review

  • 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

Great for small spaces.

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 have... read entire review

  • 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.

Read My Experience Before Buying XQG50-11

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 very old... read entire review

  • 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.

Nothing better that doing the laundry at your home, in an apartment

UPDATE - 7/2006 BREAK DOWN BREAK DOWN BREAK DOWN. That is the way to express my feelings of this machine. In just 3 years, it broke down 4 times. First it was the heating sensor for the dryer. Then the water level sensor. Then the drain had to be... read entire review

  • Pros: Never have to go to a laundromat again
  • Cons: the wheels are somewhat difficult to set and breakdowns are common
  • The Bottom Line: For 2 or 3 people in an apartment, it's the best investment you can make with an extended warranty.

Do not buy this one

I moved into an apartment with one of these six months ago and could not have been more grateful to find this brand new all-in-one machine in it. However, this machine is a big disappointment. Clothes do not come out any cleaner than they would from a... read entire review

  • Pros: small amounts of detergent needed, space saver
  • Cons: noisy, wrinkles everything, no real cold water setting, both dryer settings are too hot, shakes
  • The Bottom Line: Do Not Purchase

Suitable for a single person who likes to dry cleaner...

I'm renting an apartment that has a combo unit. I hate it. I can't wash an entire set of sheets at one time and I certainly can't DRY a full set of sheets at one time. The manual actually tells you to break a load into 3rds for drying... I also can't... read entire review

  • Pros: It is small. It can be installed under a counter.
  • Cons: Short dryer life span.
    Micro load size.
    The unit HOPS across the room.
  • The Bottom Line: Don't buy this.

Wouldn't recommend to worst enemy...OK maybe!!!

I want to start out by saying that I purchased this machine for my hair and tanning salon since I don't have a lot of space for 2 big units and don't have a vent out of the building. It was the perfect solution. It has a 11 lb wash/dry capacity. Runs on... read entire review

  • Pros: No switching from washer to dryer, easy to operate
  • Cons: Customer service through Haier is awful, they are no help when you need them
  • The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend getting this product, to many parts for the dryer fail.

Do not consider this unit.

I was excited when the landlord proclaimed that my wife and I were going to get a washer and dryer. I was impressed when she said that it was actually going to be only one unit. That's as excited as I ever was about this product. The Haier XQG50-11 is... read entire review

  • Pros: washer works ok; it's small; it sounds like a good idea
  • Cons: dryer steams and wrinkles clothes; shrinkage, flooding; customer service
  • The Bottom Line: Buy a washer. Buy a dryer. Don't consider buying a combination unit and certainly don't buy this one!

Failure rate of more than once per year

My wife and I purchased a Haier XQG50-11 Washer / Dryer from dynadirect.com in September of 2003. At first, we were reasonably happy with it. As a washer, it did a good job, although it only accepts small (11 lbs) loads. As a dryer, it was not very good... read entire review

  • Pros: Cheap (until you have to pay for repairs), compact
  • Cons: Breaks all the time, will cost you lots in repairs
  • The Bottom Line: Don't buy this--it will break all the time, and the dryer performs poorly even when it is "working".

Worthless purchase! Don't make the mistake of buying!!!

I recently bought the Haier XQG50-11 for my new apartment because I loved the convenience of the all-in-one LG that was in my last apartment. Big mistake. After TWO loads of laundry, it does not dry the clothes, just makes them very hot and very wet... read entire review
