Product review (1 stars): BUYER, BEWARE OF HAIER! XQG5011 front-loading washer
PROS: An unusable, un-fixable $800 machine has NO pros.

CONS: Breaks after a few months; impossible to get repaired; $800 into the garbage.

BOTTOM LINE: Do not purchase because you will regret it almost instantly: the machine breaks after a few months, is impossible to get repaired; you will end up throwing $700 or $800 into the garbage.

Here it is, February 5, 2012; I am again searching the internet for parts and a repair service (if any) for the Haier XQG5011 washing machine that I purchased for approx. $800 in/about early 2006 which is --- yet again --- dead. I kept the blasted machine even though though it barely works and the handle snapped off (cheap plastic door-locking mechanism and so snapped off years ago; have to use butter knife or flat-blade screwdriver to open door) ... kept it only to wash small loads of socks and underwear, since that's all the machine can handle.

Everything else (shirts, pants, sweaters, T-shirts), I have to cart to the laundromat, just like before I paid $800 for this piece of garbage.

BUYER, BEWARE OF HAIER!  You should carefully check the web (using model number if possible) for reviews, BEFORE buying.  You'll see ...
