Which One You Should Actually Buy Review Guide Link 🔗👉 https://how-to-repair.com/blogs/repai...

Over the last few weeks, I have bought three brand new washing machines with my own money from Candy, Hoover, and Haier to find out exactly what is hiding inside them. In this video, I strip all three machines down to show you that they are actually manufactured by the exact same company and share nearly identical internal parts. I will explain the clever tricks that large superstores use to hide this fact from you, and why you should absolutely only spend your hard earned money on one of these brands. I also expose the truth behind the so-called smart AI washing features, explaining how these machines simply use basic motor resistance to weigh your clothes rather than using actual artificial intelligence.

When comparing these washers side by side, it is incredibly important to talk about their energy consumption and overall running costs. Because the Hoover HBR 69SBL9-80, Candy EY 48SB8-80, and Haier HW90BP14357AETUK models share the similar type of motors, water valves, and internal heating systems, their energy consumption and wash performance are virtually identical across the board. Since you are getting the same energy efficiency and mechanical power regardless of which badge is on the front of the machine, your buying decision really comes down to the initial price tag and the warranty they provide.

The great news is that these manufacturers have finally moved away from sealed drums, meaning you can now open them up to access the internal parts. However, there is a massive catch. Instead of selling affordable individual parts like bearings or a drum spider, the manufacturer forces you to buy the entire back half of the drum assembly. This sneaky tactic makes fixing the washing machine far too expensive outside of the warranty period and is a clear example of built-in obsolescence.

This brings us to the biggest trick of all. The Candy and Hoover washers are slightly cheaper upfront but only come with a lousy 12 month guarantee. Meanwhile, the Haier washing machine shares the exact same DNA but comes with a full 5 year parts and labor warranty out of the box. For just a tiny bit more money upfront, you get years of peace of mind.

Do not fall for the 12 month warranty trap and always do your research before buying. Grab a cup of tea, enjoy the complete teardown, and leave a comment to let these manufacturers know exactly what you think about their spare parts pricing!

The brands that operate under the Haier Group umbrella: Haier, Casarte, Leader, GE Appliances, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Fisher & Paykel, AQUA, Candy, Hoover.

Hi Paul, I am an ex Hotpoint repair engineer. I think your video presentations are excellent. Thank you for your time, explanations and your descriptions / opinions. Your highly respected sir, again Thank you 👍

These companies don’t care about great machines. They care about great businesses. These companies should not be able to have a monopoly in all but name.

Great video!

@matthewhough8684 2 weeks ago

Absolutely, they definitely should make it possible to just buy the part so it would help with repairability than just buying a whole new one.

Your videos are great! Really helps the average person who wants to repair their home appliances.

Here in USA, when Bosch had a full size laundry business, when the spider or bearings gave out those parts were not available however the entire tub+drum assembly was available for a very reasonable price - like $150. The problem nowadays is that total of all parts cost many multiples of the new machine price. That should be illegal!

Brilliant video, very informative. Really hope the pressure is put on manufacturers

Props to you! Wish there were more people like you!

This is exactly what politicians should be banning. One company owning 3 brands should never be allowed.

Thanks, Paul. You have a heart of gold. I do hope these manufactures listen to you and the customers who buy their products. Those who listen will be rewarded with greater growth in their company.

Thank you Paul, for all the videos you upload. I really enjoy doing repairs on my washing machine—not only because it saves me money, but also because it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to see the machine working again. Keep making these videos and educating people, so they can make better and more informed decisions when it comes to buying a new washing machine.

You are fantastic Paul, where would we be without you. The Right to Repair is non negotiable - people are more aware now Paul and won’t be fooled if they keep watching your channel. 😊

My recycling center in south east of kent has sent out emails to everyone to not bring white goods because they've run out of space... which immediatly reminded me of your video with that huge field full of fridges and washing machines. We are, as gen Z might say, cooked.

Hi Paul. I used to work in the medical imaging business for a well known European company. At one point they entered into an agreement with Hitachi to sell their CT scanners. There were at least 4 models over the years and they quite often used the same part in the different models. The part number was always different and the only explanation we, as engineers, could think of was that a different design team was given the job of giving each part a number and they never checked if it already had one. When we became more familiar with them we would check which part was actually in stock and order that one! It probably happens more often than you think.
