Haier is perfect for my family
The Haier 7kg Front Loading Washer is gentle enough for all my family's washing
After trialling the Haier for over a month now and posting numerous reviews on its amazing cycles, gentle but thorough washing performance, its energy ratings, temperature control and convenient front loading I can honestly say it is the best machine I've ever owned and would not consider going back, so much so I gave my 3 year old 9.5 Westinghouse top loader away to continue using the Haier. It's just so efficient, cleans noticeably better and is so much gentler on our clothes, especially the uniforms and muddy scouts clothes that need a deep clean but to last. My toddlers stains are coming out now with just regular top loader detergent, I don't need as many expensive pre soak and wash enhancing products that were essential with my old machine. The babies clothes and woolens are clean but not distorted and pilling like many wool cycles on other machines, you really can trust the Haier will delicates, it hasn't ruined a single item of clothing and with the handmade baby woolens that is amazing and so convenient! With four busy kids I have a lot to wash but now I don't dread it so much because with the Haier there is no hit or miss risk with damage or setting stains in worse.
Read my other reviews to learn more about the amazing cycle options, including sport which is just made for families!!
I highly recommend the Haier if you want a family friendly, efficient, convenient and all round top performing machine. I was such a skeptic but my experience has been nothing but positive and I love my Haier.

Having had the Haier for over a week and as previously said I am now a front loader convert and a sceptic who has been proven wrong. The convenient size for my laundry, the quiet yet efficient cycles, the choices!! I could go on and on about the cycle choices and temperature control as well as the water savings. Its accessible, easy to use and works a treat, loving the sports cycle for the boys muddy clothes! I didn't think a machine could do everything a family of six needed that included school aged scouts, a toddler and a young baby.
I decided today to fight the fear and try the wool cycle. A lot of our four kids jumpers are wool, handmade by my grandmothers and treasured. I took the plunge, used the wool cycle and anxiously awaiting the result....No damage, no shrinking and no pilling or pulls and no stains!!! They were gently cleaned and came out like new. Another tick of approval to the Haier.See picture of my son, never would have used a machine for this before! My previous machine would have eaten them despite being quite new, it could never be trusted from the beginning and ruined some clothing. The Haier doesn't get all the clothes twisted and cords tied around things and is way gentler on all our clothes no matter the cycle.
Although with six of us its slightly smaller than our old 9.5kg top loader we are managing and would rather do one extra load on average every three days just for the benefits and it still costs less anyway especially in water usage not to mention the convenience of not hanging into a top loader trying to fish things out.
Overall I'm enjoying my Haier and very pleased with it so far. Next experiment will be trying the presoak option on my babies bibs. Looking forward to the results :)
Highly recommend to families who need a compact, easy to use, made for families machine.

After now using almost every cycle out of eleven possibilities yes eleven!! I will never use a front loader sceptics like myself who thought front loaders were not larger family friendly. With cycles like sports and fast for the whoops I forgot times, the Haier has been amazing. The Haier has really exceeded my expectations I honestly didn't think a front loader would be enough for our big family but I was wrong. The variable temperatures and extra prewash and intense cycles are perfect for families. With a baby, a toddler and two other older kids are a husband I have a lot of different types of washing and the Haier has a cycle for everything! The door lock is great if you have littlies and the convenience of a front loader is the best possible thing for my body. No more bending and breaking my back over the top loader. All clothes have come out clean, undamaged and I'm very happy with the results. If I can convert to a front loader any other sceptics can!! Perfect for a family machine, couldn't be happier. Quiet, fast and so simple to use as you can see from my picture, even my nine year old can help with washing now! Highly recommended.

I was excited to start using my Haier 7kg washer as soon as it arrived and I read the book. The wash cycle options are amazing and so surprisingly fast as I had been warned by numerous people it would be much slower than my expensive 9.5kg top loader I had for my family of six. Not true!! Not only is it faster, the specialized cycle options are perfect for a family with a young baby, toddler and two older kids with muddy uniforms and scout clothes. I was amazed that even when adding the intense option to the cycle for particularly dirty clothes it still was faster and did a better job than my top loader ever did! And the convenience of a front loader is AMAZING no bending right in and breaking my back! For a family this big I was amazed this machine could do the job, I thought my not too old, expensive top loader was the best I could get and was honestly sceptical about a front loader. I was wrong!! Never will I go back to anything else. Haier you really have created an amazingly versatile machine perfect for any family especially with kids. The true test today? My husband's work clothes. Used the sport cycle, added the intense option and decided to see what happened when I didn't use the prewash option to really give her a test. Result...Perfectly clean, fresh work clothes in 1 hour and 35 minutes!! Looking forward to trying some more cycles and options, I can't believe a washing machine can be this exciting. The water rating is fantastic and not even comparable to a top loader and its quiet and more efficient. Highly recommend.

Haier is perfect for my family
The Haier 7kg Front Loading Washer is gentle enough for all my family's washing
The Haier has really exceeded my expectations especially with size, load sizes, speed and how incredibly well it cleans our whole families clothes so gently. The cycle options are well thought out, convenient and all relevant, unlike alot of machines that have different cycles but they are not family specific. I never thought I could like a front loader, let alone love and want it forever. With a family of six, including a young baby, a toddler and two school aged children who also do scouts I needed something that could wash and treat everything in one machine. Haier has done this. From fast cycles to specialized sports cycle and variable temperatures and an intense option to add washing time for really filthy items. The Haier cleans without needing expensive laundry boosters and without damaging clothes and leaving them twisted and beaten. The convenient front loading means no more bending down into the machine and its so easy to understand even my older children can use it.
Over the last month I have found washing easier, not as daunting and so much more physically easier.
The Haier has been a huge success in our house and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, quality machine that is designed for families. I couldn't be more impressed, not what I expected when changing from my top of the line top loader to a front loader but I have given away the top loader now and will never go back!
The team at Haier are great (I called the advice line even though I didn't need to to check ;) and they were friendly, helpful and easy to understand which was great. If you are getting a new machine I highly recommend the Haier and its high standard performance.

Everything a family needs in a machine. Fits nicely in the laundry, is quiet, has an amazing water and energy ratings. The 11 cycles cover everything from my babies delicates, to my kids uniforms, toddlers mud and all gently without damaging a thing. Front loading is so convenient and safety lock is great for toddlers. Variable temperature and an intense option for extra washing also are great and the pre wash mode and variable temperatures mean even baby nappies can hygienically be washed. We are loving the Haier and could not have chosen a better machine for our family of six if we tried. I can\'t speak highly enough of it and as you can see in my other reviews over the last few weeks it has completely won me over despite my initial reservations. Highly recommend.

The Haier has really exceeded my expectations of a front loader machine for a family of six, including myself, my husband, school kids, a toddler and a young baby. It really does have a cycle for everything and is fast!! I thought front loaders took a lot longer than top loaders but boy was I wrong. The Haier even has a 15 minute or 40 minute cycle for all those times you forgot you needed something and need it fast. Sports cycle is great for uniforms and muddy clothes, I've noticed a difference in how much cleaner they are now. The temperature options within each cycle allow me to choose what is best and needed depending on circumstances and adjust accordingly. Its easy to access, no bending into a front loader ever again for me! So easy and straight forward to run my nine year old can use it. Excellent results and amazing water and energy ratings. My toddler loves helping load it up and watching the washing happen so the auto lock feature is reassuring. Washing doesn't seem so physically hard or like such a huge job anymore! Fantastic family machine, highly recommend to anyone who has a few kids and needs a machine that is convenient, easy to use and does a great job.

Its just a washing machine, nothing special or anything to write home about. I am actually disapointed overall and I wouldnt recommned it or Buy it again. Its washes the clothes but that is all that it does. Maybe it will grow on me but im not sure its going to cut it. I would prefer it to be bigger capacity.

Exceeds my expectations and thoroughly satified with the performance
I’ve had my Haier 7kg front loading washing machine for several months now and it has fitted in seamlessly with our family life-style. I had a more expensive European brand before that I thought performed very well so I wasn’t sure of what to expect of the Haier brand, and yet, the Haier has done as well, if not better. I frequently use the Sport and Quick 40’ programmes which are very helpful and a real time saver when you have several different loads to do. I’ve even used the Express 15’ wash early on a Monday morning when there was a panic on for a school shirt that had gone AWOL! The results were perfect. The Haier copes with everything that busy family life can throw at it and I would highly recommend it. The programmes seem to be very well thought out and offer a variety of temperature and spin options and are very easy to programme. It’s nice to have the benefit of a bigger drum and also the detergent drawer is very capacious and looks like it will be easy to keep clean. The machine still looks shiny and new and I’m interested to see how the ‘long lasting anti-bacterial door seal’ will perform as this was a negative on my last machine. The machine has good water consumption ratings and energy use is rated on the intense programme which I haven’t had to use yet, so I’m confident that the machine will be quite energy efficient as well as these performance factors are important to our family.

I cannot say enough great things about the Haier 7kg Front Loading Washing Machine. After 2 months of using the machine, I'm totally converted. I never thought I'd like using a front loader, but it's been an absolute pleasure to use and there is no way I'd go back to my old top loader washing machine. Simple to use, easily selectable settings, straight forward setup, efficient, quiet, washes a good size load...I could go on all day! If you've ever owned a front loader and want another, or you've been considering buying a front loader but have been to scared to commit, don't hesitate any longer - this is the machine for you. You will not be disappointed with this machine.
Thanks MoMs for giving me the opportunity to review the Haier 7kg Front Loader Washing Machine - I'm a convert!!!
Fantastic washing machine. Wouldn't go back to a top loader!
There is so much choice with the Haier front loader. I love the many different program cycles, the accurate temperature control button and the extra programs you can add to the cycles such as delay, extra rinse, intense and rinse hold. With all this choice the Haier front loader is certainly NOT a boring washing machine.
After trialling this machine for the past couple of months, I am completely converted to being a front loader user. I would not buy another top loader after seeing how gentle, how efficient and how easy it is on your back. (Bending your knees to load this machine instead of bending at your waist to load/unload a top loader is so much easier on you!) I wash for two kids, my husband and of course myself, so I have really put this machine through its paces and I have been so happy with the results. Clean, well cared for clothes EVERY time.
It's gentle on your clothes, quiet, compact and clever. I happily tell all my friends how great this machine is - I highly recommend the Haier 7kg front loading washing machine.
I am still loving using the Haier front loader washing machine. It's ability to wash and clean, while being so gentle on my family's clothes amazes me. Even more so is the fact I am saving so much money on using so little washing powder compared to when I was using my old top loader. The efficiency of the machine is definitely a feature that should be noted and commended. I have recommended this machine to all my friends and I will continue to do so as I am so happy with the results day after day.
Not only am I excited to use the machine, but my 3 year old is excited too. Thanks to the Haier front loader being the perfect toddler height, I can include my curious little boy in my daily errand of clothes washing. Previously with my old top loader, he couldn't see what was happening, now he races me to the machine to help and to see the clothes go round and round. It's a great washing machine for the whole family! Even my husband thinks it's great and is a front loader convert- not something I thought would happen!!! Thank you Haier, you've made a delightful and extremely useful front loader washing machine.

Fantastic machine, with lots of different, useful functions.
I can't say enough good things about the Haier front loader washing machine. I absolutely LOVE using it and I use it at least twice a day with a baby and a toddler.
I love how you can put your washing basket under the opening of the machine and pull out all your washing without straining your back and you don't drop the washing everywhere.
I love the simple, easy to use dial and buttons. The machine has been well thought out and is very user friendly.
The user manual is easy to follow and I have enjoyed getting to know the 10 different program modes. There's a pre-wash, cotton, synthetic, wool, mixed, sport, quick 40, express 15, rinse and spin/drain. In a previous review I have said my favorite is the the quick 40 as it lets me get many loads on washing done in the quickest time frame.
However, I don't like the default to the last program selection. After a particularly long day of screaming kids and maybe one too many glasses of wine, I may have thought I put the machine on the wool program when really, I had forgotten to change the program and it defaulted to my favorite quick 40. My beautiful wool cardigan is now in the bin. This is a user fault not the machine, but I can't help but dislike the default to last program... If only it had to be selected every time, then this silly mummy wouldn't have been caught out!
Overall the washing machine is more than big enough for a family of four and does a terrific job of cleaning heavily soiled, messy kids clothes. To give you an idea of the size of the machine, I can easily fit in a queen sized fitted sheet, a queen sized flat sheet, four pillow cases and four pillow protectors in one load. I am more than happy with the cleanliness of the sheets and pillowcases when they're all washed together and I am always amazed how gentle the machine is. I am yet to come across a piece of clothing or piece linen that has been eaten up in the wash. Something that would happen all too frequently in my old top loader.
The Haier front loader is a great washing machine and I am now a front loader convert. I would definitely encourage people to buy this machine
The Haier Front Loader continues to exceed my expectations and amaze me how well it can clean our laundry. It's easy to use, compact and good looking to boot. It really is hard to fault.
I love the pre-wash function, which I use if the kids clothes are heavily soiled, the extra rinse function is also great after I add in nappysan.
The cotton cycle is AMAZING. I put my towels and sheets through this function and I have been wowed with the results. My towels looked like brand new and the stains I couldn't get out in my previous machine, were completely gone. They were left fluffy, absorbant and clean.
I would highly recommend this machine to my friends and family.
After many weeks using the Haier Front Loader machine, doing the washing for a family of four, I can highly recommend my favourite programme, the quick 40 cycle. I've used it for towels, sheets and clothes. What I love about it is, I can do many loads of washing in the morning and have them all hung and drying before I need to go out for the day. When you're a mum and get up at 6am, being able to get the washing out of the way by 9:30-10am means is going to be a great day!

Perfect Family machine, from mud to newborn it covers all!
The Haier has really exceeded my expectations especially of a front loader.
I was the owner of a 9.5kg Westinghouse top loader that promised to be the best for a family, especially one including two adults, two school children, a toddler and a new baby. It was great for amount you could fit in but benefits were also its downsides too because it was huge, taking up a large amount of space, hard to reach into and very harsh on clothes and couldn't be trusted with delicates, woolens (of which we have lots) and church dresses and was fading my kids navy blue school, sports and scout uniforms before my eyes.
The Haier is compact, fits the laundry perfectly, is easy enough to load and unload even for my 11 and 9 year olds. It uses a ridiculous amount less water and energy and best of all...
I CAN TRUST IT. After a few weeks of trial I can honestly say that, which I never thought I would about any machine again and I can tell you a few clear reasons why:
*The Sports option for kids muddy and dirty school and scout uniforms gets them wonderfully clean without fading colour but still removing stains.
*Its gentle. Not just on the delicates and wool cycles EVERY cycle. No matter how deep the clean needs to be and intense the cycle nothing becomes tangled, drawstrings stay in and clothes come out as good as new. Major difference to a top loader, even the best of its kind.
*Its easy to access, easy to use and understand. My older children can fill, operate and empty it easily and without help after only a short time of instruction. The cycle titles mean it's easy to identify what is required and which to use simplifying it fantastically. Its quiet, has an amazing water and energy rating and an auto lock for safety especially if you have toddlers.
*It really has a cycle for EVERYTHING A FAMILY NEEDS.
-Two fast cycles for those times you forget you need something, are in a rush or its lightly soiled are very convenient and do a great job.
-cotton cycle for towels, sheets, bedding and for mums who use cloth nappies the temperature control means you can even wash those, especially because of the pre wash cycle for soaking!
- The Sports cycle as I mentioned above is a family MUST HAVE if you want clean without damage leading to needing more frequent replacements and inability to pass down to younger siblings. The Haier masters this.
-Synthetic and mixed are designed for all regular washing and use ideal temperature and allow you to set temperature as do all cycles so you can cold wash or add heat if you need to. Both are gentle and effective.
-pre wash allows you to soak anything and is great heavily stained items, cloth nappies and anything you want to really give a deep intensive clean to. I have found even with the dirtiest of clothes I have not had to use it except when there was a toddler poo explosion in the cot and it was amazing!!
-wool. This would have to be one of my favourites. Our four children wear a lot of handmade woollen jumpers and blankets. My old machine had a wool and delicatessen cycle but it ruined a lot of items, catches, pulls, pilling and stretching were the norm so I couldn't use it. I reluctantly decided since the Haier had been so gentle with all our other clothes to test a weeks load of wool jumpers belonging to my baby and toddler. Not only did it only take 50 minutes, it removed food stains, milk stains and not a single piece of damage or distortion. As you can see in my picture they look as good as new and I couldn't be happier.
* Features like the Intense mode that adds washing time for really dirty items, rinse and rinse and spin cycles, the option to hold or add an extra rinse, adjustable spin speeds and temperature for ALL cycles and a delay option to preset a start time really make this the machine with everything.
The only thing to be aware of is that although it is a 7kg machine only pre wash and cotton allow for 7kg of clothing the rest are either 4kg for regular loads and 2kg for wool and the two fast cycles so don't overfill the machine. Because I have a large family I am doing more loads including wool and baby that many others wouldn't and they have increased in number compared to old machine, but the benefits of the different cycles and difference in our clothes means as well as water savings means an extra load every 3 days or so on average is worth it. I was warned front loaders took a lot longer than a top loader, the Haier has pleasantly surprised me, some cycles are actually shorter and only the cotton cycle is longer.
The Haier is doing an amazing job and I highly recommend it for all the reasons above and to any family who needs a good, easy machine that you can trust not to damage your washing and consistently perform well in different scenarios. Very impressive Haier, I'm a convert.

Overall I'm enjoying my Haier and very pleased with it so far. Next experiment will be trying the presoak option on my babies bibs. Looking forward to the results :)
Highly recommend to families who need a compact, easy to use, made for families machine.

It's been a couple of weeks since first starting using this machine and I haven't had any problems except getting used to using very little washing powder. I am so impressed at the cleanliness of the washed clothes and am so surprised you need so little powder! I haven't even bothered with fabric softener as I'm happy with the condition the clothes have come out.
I took the plunge and threw in my favourite merino wool cardigan. I am more than happy to recommend the wool program which is preset to 40 degrees and a spin cycle of 600 rpm. My cardigan came out feeling amazing, well washed, no damage and no shrinkage. So now in go all my babies merino suits without any hesitation.
Overall I am still very satisfied with this washing machine and I highly recommend it. The picture is of my towels having the cotton 'treatment' or program, 3h35mins at 60 degrees.
The Haier has really exceeded my expectations of a front loader machine for a family of six, including myself, my husband, school kids, a toddler and a young baby. It really does have a cycle for everything and is fast!! I thought front loaders took a lot longer than top loaders but boy was I wrong. The Haier even has a 15 minute or 40 minute cycle for all those times you forgot you needed something and need it fast. Sports cycle is great for uniforms and muddy clothes, I've noticed a difference in how much cleaner they are now. The temperature options within each cycle allow me to choose what is best and needed depending on circumstances and adjust accordingly. Its easy to access, no bending into a front loader ever again for me! So easy and straight forward to run my nine year old can use it. Excellent results and amazing water and energy ratings. My toddler loves helping load it up and watching the washing happen so the auto lock feature is reassuring. Washing doesn't seem so physically hard or like such a huge job anymore! Fantastic family machine, highly recommend to anyone who has a few kids and needs a machine that is convenient, easy to use and does a great job.

After now using almost every cycle out of eleven possibilities yes eleven!! I will never use a front loader sceptics like myself who thought front loaders were not larger family friendly. With cycles like sports and fast for the whoops I forgot times, the Haier has been amazing. The Haier has really exceeded my expectations I honestly didn't think a front loader would be enough for our big family but I was wrong. The variable temperatures and extra prewash and intense cycles are perfect for families. With a baby, a toddler and two other older kids are a husband I have a lot of different types of washing and the Haier has a cycle for everything! The door lock is great if you have littlies and the convenience of a front loader is the best possible thing for my body. No more bending and breaking my back over the top loader. All clothes have come out clean, undamaged and I'm very happy with the results. If I can convert to a front loader any other sceptics can!! Perfect for a family machine, couldn't be happier. Quiet, fast and so simple to use as you can see from my picture, even my nine year old can help with washing now! Highly recommended.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

I highly recommend the Haier if you want a family friendly, efficient, convenient and all round top performing machine. I was such a skeptic but my experience has been nothing but positive and I love my Haier.

Just keeps getting better!
I decided today to fight the fear and try the wool cycle. A lot of our four kids jumpers are wool, handmade by my grandmothers and treasured. I took the plunge, used the wool cycle and anxiously awaiting the result....No damage, no shrinking and no pilling or pulls and no stains!!! They were gently cleaned and came out like new. Another tick of approval to the Haier.See picture of my son, never would have used a machine for this before! My previous machine would have eaten them despite being quite new, it could never be trusted from the beginning and ruined some clothing. The Haier doesn't get all the clothes twisted and cords tied around things and is way gentler on all our clothes no matter the cycle.
Although with six of us its slightly smaller than our old 9.5kg top loader we are managing and would rather do one extra load on average every three days just for the benefits and it still costs less anyway especially in water usage not to mention the convenience of not hanging into a top loader trying to fish things out.
Overall I'm enjoying my Haier and very pleased with it so far. Next experiment will be trying the presoak option on my babies bibs. Looking forward to the results :)
Highly recommend to families who need a compact, easy to use, made for families machine.

Amazing!! Front loader convert!!

Ultimate Family Machine, couldnt be happier.
Over the last month I have found washing easier, not as daunting and so much more physically easier.
The Haier has been a huge success in our house and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, quality machine that is designed for families. I couldn't be more impressed, not what I expected when changing from my top of the line top loader to a front loader but I have given away the top loader now and will never go back!
The team at Haier are great (I called the advice line even though I didn't need to to check ;) and they were friendly, helpful and easy to understand which was great. If you are getting a new machine I highly recommend the Haier and its high standard performance.

Thanks MoMs for giving me the opportunity to review the Haier 7kg Front Loader Washing Machine - I'm a convert!!!
8:15 am
Fantastic washing machine. Wouldn't go back to a top loader!
After trialling this machine for the past couple of months, I am completely converted to being a front loader user. I would not buy another top loader after seeing how gentle, how efficient and how easy it is on your back. (Bending your knees to load this machine instead of bending at your waist to load/unload a top loader is so much easier on you!) I wash for two kids, my husband and of course myself, so I have really put this machine through its paces and I have been so happy with the results. Clean, well cared for clothes EVERY time.
It's gentle on your clothes, quiet, compact and clever. I happily tell all my friends how great this machine is - I highly recommend the Haier 7kg front loading washing machine.
10:30 pm
Highly recommend to all my friends
Not only am I excited to use the machine, but my 3 year old is excited too. Thanks to the Haier front loader being the perfect toddler height, I can include my curious little boy in my daily errand of clothes washing. Previously with my old top loader, he couldn't see what was happening, now he races me to the machine to help and to see the clothes go round and round. It's a great washing machine for the whole family! Even my husband thinks it's great and is a front loader convert- not something I thought would happen!!! Thank you Haier, you've made a delightful and extremely useful front loader washing machine.

Fantastic machine, with lots of different, useful functions.
I love how you can put your washing basket under the opening of the machine and pull out all your washing without straining your back and you don't drop the washing everywhere.
I love the simple, easy to use dial and buttons. The machine has been well thought out and is very user friendly.
The user manual is easy to follow and I have enjoyed getting to know the 10 different program modes. There's a pre-wash, cotton, synthetic, wool, mixed, sport, quick 40, express 15, rinse and spin/drain. In a previous review I have said my favorite is the the quick 40 as it lets me get many loads on washing done in the quickest time frame.
However, I don't like the default to the last program selection. After a particularly long day of screaming kids and maybe one too many glasses of wine, I may have thought I put the machine on the wool program when really, I had forgotten to change the program and it defaulted to my favorite quick 40. My beautiful wool cardigan is now in the bin. This is a user fault not the machine, but I can't help but dislike the default to last program... If only it had to be selected every time, then this silly mummy wouldn't have been caught out!
Overall the washing machine is more than big enough for a family of four and does a terrific job of cleaning heavily soiled, messy kids clothes. To give you an idea of the size of the machine, I can easily fit in a queen sized fitted sheet, a queen sized flat sheet, four pillow cases and four pillow protectors in one load. I am more than happy with the cleanliness of the sheets and pillowcases when they're all washed together and I am always amazed how gentle the machine is. I am yet to come across a piece of clothing or piece linen that has been eaten up in the wash. Something that would happen all too frequently in my old top loader.
The Haier front loader is a great washing machine and I am now a front loader convert. I would definitely encourage people to buy this machine
7:40 pm
Love the different features
I love the pre-wash function, which I use if the kids clothes are heavily soiled, the extra rinse function is also great after I add in nappysan.
The cotton cycle is AMAZING. I put my towels and sheets through this function and I have been wowed with the results. My towels looked like brand new and the stains I couldn't get out in my previous machine, were completely gone. They were left fluffy, absorbant and clean.
I would highly recommend this machine to my friends and family.

Perfect Family machine, from mud to newborn it covers all!
I was the owner of a 9.5kg Westinghouse top loader that promised to be the best for a family, especially one including two adults, two school children, a toddler and a new baby. It was great for amount you could fit in but benefits were also its downsides too because it was huge, taking up a large amount of space, hard to reach into and very harsh on clothes and couldn't be trusted with delicates, woolens (of which we have lots) and church dresses and was fading my kids navy blue school, sports and scout uniforms before my eyes.
The Haier is compact, fits the laundry perfectly, is easy enough to load and unload even for my 11 and 9 year olds. It uses a ridiculous amount less water and energy and best of all...
I CAN TRUST IT. After a few weeks of trial I can honestly say that, which I never thought I would about any machine again and I can tell you a few clear reasons why:
*The Sports option for kids muddy and dirty school and scout uniforms gets them wonderfully clean without fading colour but still removing stains.
*Its gentle. Not just on the delicates and wool cycles EVERY cycle. No matter how deep the clean needs to be and intense the cycle nothing becomes tangled, drawstrings stay in and clothes come out as good as new. Major difference to a top loader, even the best of its kind.
*Its easy to access, easy to use and understand. My older children can fill, operate and empty it easily and without help after only a short time of instruction. The cycle titles mean it's easy to identify what is required and which to use simplifying it fantastically. Its quiet, has an amazing water and energy rating and an auto lock for safety especially if you have toddlers.
*It really has a cycle for EVERYTHING A FAMILY NEEDS.
-Two fast cycles for those times you forget you need something, are in a rush or its lightly soiled are very convenient and do a great job.
-cotton cycle for towels, sheets, bedding and for mums who use cloth nappies the temperature control means you can even wash those, especially because of the pre wash cycle for soaking!
- The Sports cycle as I mentioned above is a family MUST HAVE if you want clean without damage leading to needing more frequent replacements and inability to pass down to younger siblings. The Haier masters this.
-Synthetic and mixed are designed for all regular washing and use ideal temperature and allow you to set temperature as do all cycles so you can cold wash or add heat if you need to. Both are gentle and effective.
-pre wash allows you to soak anything and is great heavily stained items, cloth nappies and anything you want to really give a deep intensive clean to. I have found even with the dirtiest of clothes I have not had to use it except when there was a toddler poo explosion in the cot and it was amazing!!
-wool. This would have to be one of my favourites. Our four children wear a lot of handmade woollen jumpers and blankets. My old machine had a wool and delicatessen cycle but it ruined a lot of items, catches, pulls, pilling and stretching were the norm so I couldn't use it. I reluctantly decided since the Haier had been so gentle with all our other clothes to test a weeks load of wool jumpers belonging to my baby and toddler. Not only did it only take 50 minutes, it removed food stains, milk stains and not a single piece of damage or distortion. As you can see in my picture they look as good as new and I couldn't be happier.
* Features like the Intense mode that adds washing time for really dirty items, rinse and rinse and spin cycles, the option to hold or add an extra rinse, adjustable spin speeds and temperature for ALL cycles and a delay option to preset a start time really make this the machine with everything.
The only thing to be aware of is that although it is a 7kg machine only pre wash and cotton allow for 7kg of clothing the rest are either 4kg for regular loads and 2kg for wool and the two fast cycles so don't overfill the machine. Because I have a large family I am doing more loads including wool and baby that many others wouldn't and they have increased in number compared to old machine, but the benefits of the different cycles and difference in our clothes means as well as water savings means an extra load every 3 days or so on average is worth it. I was warned front loaders took a lot longer than a top loader, the Haier has pleasantly surprised me, some cycles are actually shorter and only the cotton cycle is longer.
The Haier is doing an amazing job and I highly recommend it for all the reasons above and to any family who needs a good, easy machine that you can trust not to damage your washing and consistently perform well in different scenarios. Very impressive Haier, I'm a convert.

Just keeps getting better!
I decided today to fight the fear and try the wool cycle. A lot of our four kids jumpers are wool, handmade by my grandmothers and treasured. I took the plunge, used the wool cycle and anxiously awaiting the result....No damage, no shrinking and no pilling or pulls and no stains!!! They were gently cleaned and came out like new. Another tick of approval to the Haier.See picture of my son, never would have used a machine for this before! My previous machine would have eaten them despite being quite new, it could never be trusted from the beginning and ruined some clothing. The Haier doesn't get all the clothes twisted and cords tied around things and is way gentler on all our clothes no matter the cycle.
Although with six of us its slightly smaller than our old 9.5kg top loader we are managing and would rather do one extra load on average every three days just for the benefits and it still costs less anyway especially in water usage not to mention the convenience of not hanging into a top loader trying to fish things out.
Overall I'm enjoying my Haier and very pleased with it so far. Next experiment will be trying the presoak option on my babies bibs. Looking forward to the results :)
Highly recommend to families who need a compact, easy to use, made for families machine.

Still loving this machine
I took the plunge and threw in my favourite merino wool cardigan. I am more than happy to recommend the wool program which is preset to 40 degrees and a spin cycle of 600 rpm. My cardigan came out feeling amazing, well washed, no damage and no shrinkage. So now in go all my babies merino suits without any hesitation.
Overall I am still very satisfied with this washing machine and I highly recommend it. The picture is of my towels having the cotton 'treatment' or program, 3h35mins at 60 degrees.
