Rank #10 in Best Washer Dryer 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Energy Label Misleads
Haier X Series 5 12kg Washer Dryer, Graphite
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Haier X Series 5 is the machine at number ten in this guide: a 1400 RPM front-load washer dryer in graphite and black, priced at £587.99 and rated 4.3 out of 5 from 13 ratings as listed. It arrives carrying the exact problem the rest of this guide is about. The A-20% on the front is a washing figure, while the same listing gives the combined wash-and-dry rating as D — the same split the Hisense spells out and the Xiaomi qualifies as "for washing only".
The specification table then disagrees with the product name above it. The name says 12kg; the Capacity field says 20 Kilograms. The Annual Energy Consumption field says 44 Kilowatt Hours, which is the third different energy unit in this category, after the Samsung's 208 Kilowatt Hours Per Year and the white Willow's 326 Kilowatt Hours per 100 cycles — three figures that cannot be put side by side. The field for depth with the door open is given as 85 centimetres, the same number as this machine's height. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this product and not from any test we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Absolutely over the moon with this product. Takes a while to learn the programmes but the app is excellent, next day delivery..uses far less energy than having a washing machine and tumble dryer. Bought this as was short of space. The remote option let's you start or end programmes remotely..ideal if you are at work and want to set the washer to finish when you get home etc.”
Verified purchase“Brilliant machine. Happy I purchased it. Only thing is 9 hour full wash and dry.”

Questions people ask
Is the Haier X Series 5 a washer dryer or a washing machine?
It is a washer dryer. The listing gives 13 washing cycles and 11 drying cycles, and its stated energy rating is A-20% for washing against D for wash and dry.
What capacity is the Haier X Series 5?
The product name says 12kg. The specification table's Capacity field says 20 Kilograms, and the listing does not explain the difference, so we report both.
How much energy does the Haier X Series 5 use?
The Annual Energy Consumption field says 44 Kilowatt Hours. That is a different unit from the 208 Kilowatt Hours Per Year listed on the Samsung in this guide, so the two numbers cannot be compared directly.
What do customers rate the Haier X Series 5?
The listing shows 4.3 out of 5 from 13 ratings. The rating breakdown on the same page contains 100 marks in total, which does not match the 13 figure.
Does the Haier X Series 5 have a rapid cycle?
Haier's own bullet says you can choose between Rapid, Eco or Intense cycles, and the hOn app gives access to 60+ cycles. One customer reports a full wash and dry taking 9 hours.
What is the model number of the Haier X Series 5?
The listing gives the model number HWD120BP14357GUK, with touch controls, a maximum spin speed of 1400 RPM, a 10-year EU spare part availability duration, and dimensions of 66.6D x 65W x 85H centimetres.
