This summer, whether you are a DIY-er and renovating your laundry, or you love to have people over and entertain, Haier have a range of new smart appliances that will make your life easier. The Haier Laundry Centre is the perfect solution for a laundry room makeover, allowing you to maximise space in, often, a small room. While the new Haier Wine Cabinet and Beverage Centre are great to care for your favourite wines and non-alcoholic drinks to help with summer-long entertaining. Find out more about these smart appliances below.
Laundry Centre
Laundries are fast becoming design-led spaces that manage to be a masterclass in both form and function. The Haier Laundry Centre (model HLC1290CTB1) is the sleek solution for a laundry room makeover. A 12kg Washer with 12 wash cycles is paired with a 9kg Heat Pump Dryer with 11 drying options for a guaranteed easy setup. Plus, it stands at a comfortable working height of 1.5 metres, compared to the standard size washer and dryer stack of about 1.8 metres.
Maximising space is often essential in the laundry, which is often the smallest room in the house. The Laundry Centre combines the washer and dryer in to a single stacked unit, creating a design that is both compact and adaptable.
Did you forget to clean that blouse for tomorrow? The Speed Up function shortens most wash cycles, and the Express 15 cycle allows for one or two garments to be cleaned in minutes. If a wash cycle is out of the question, use the Dryer’s dual Steam Deodorise and Refresh functions. Deodorise works to reduce odours and Refresh uses steam to smooth out any pesky wrinkles.
And if you forgot to turn the wash cycle on before you left for work, SmartHQ
app means you can start it remotely. Based on the features alone, the Laundry Centre makes a usually dreary chore more exciting. But factor in the size, style, and level of efficiency, and you’ll find a surefire reason to love laundry day.
Wine Cabinet
Cavernous wine cellar meets modern convenience. Don’t think you need a carefully crafted basement to keep your vino collection at the right temperature. Meet the Haier Wine Cabinet (model HWC90UC), your new best friend. Designed to store up to 33 standard-sized wine bottles, the Wine Cabinet is the ultimate storage solution for fans of wine and cheese evenings.
Organise the bottles to your liking, then adjust the temperature to the tipple. An easy-to-use control panel has specifically designed red or white wine modes that allow for general preservation. If you prefer a fridge full of light-bodied reds, for instance, the control panel also has a feature that lets you set your own specific temperature from 5-20°C in 1°C increments. Tip: Light-bodied reds are best kept at 12-14°C.
There’s no need to be concerned about the Wine Cabinet catching any stray sunlight because the glass door is anti-UV tempered and triple-glazed. Your bottles are simultaneously protected and on display. It really is the modern equivalent of an underground cellar. Wine aficionados will appreciate a home for their growing wine collection where the priority lies in the preservation of quality – and it’s also the perfect excuse to go cellar door-hopping all summer long.
Beverage Centre
Having an entire fridge dedicated to drinks is a common summer fantasy on those hot, sticky days.
The Haier Beverage Centre (model HRF90UC) is a knight in shining glass armour and summer essential. Standing at 850mm with an 87L capacity, it is a convenient fridge that boasts one sole purpose – keeping beverages cold. The compact design also allows for it to slip into any room you fancy.
The best part is that the storage options are versatile and allow for multiple varieties of beverages. There are two adjustable glass shelves to cater to different heights and there’s an adjustable wine wire rack if you want to chill a few bottles.
Once your favourite drinks are packed away, customise the temperature to your liking. Select between 2-12°C, adjusting by 1° at a time, and find the perfect chill on your own terms. If you’re in a rush for an icy-cold drink, the Beverage Centre has a Super Cool setting. Switch it on and let the magic happen.
