The Rise of Multi-Drum Washing Machines: A New Era of Smart Laundry Solutions
The washing machine market has seen a surge in innovation, with leading brands rolling out multi-drum solutions to meet evolving consumer demands. The call for an “all-in-one lazy washing machine” that effortlessly handles underwear, socks, shoes, and clothes has spurred companies into action, with groundbreaking designs showcased at AWE2025.
Haier has led the charge with its newly launched three-drum lazy washing machine, officially delivered to customers in its first batch. According to JD platform data, the product has already surpassed 20,000 sales, with over 29,000 reservations placed for upcoming releases. Not far behind, Midea has introduced the Xiaowumei 3.0 washing machine, featuring a modular stacking system that allows users to expand from two to three, five, or even seven drums. This model achieved more than 10,000 sales within just 28 hours of its debut on JD.
Hisense, another key player in this emerging trend, unveiled its Marshmallow Ultra Family Drum—an innovative three-drum modular washing machine designed for flexibility. Current reservation figures indicate sales exceeding 20,000 units. With top brands racing to deliver advanced double- and triple-drum washing machines, could this category be the next big wave in the industry?
Haier’s approach focuses on maximizing capacity within a single machine, slightly taller than standard models yet compact enough to accommodate three drums. The largest drum is dedicated to everyday laundry, while the two smaller ones are ideal for delicate items such as socks, underwear, or baby clothes. Meanwhile, Midea and Hisense have opted for a modular, split-design system that enables multi-zone washing. Their models maintain a standard width, integrating dual-drum mini washers within a single unit. The Hisense Marshmallow Ultra Family Drum even offers a detachable three-drum setup, though individual drum purchases are currently unavailable. Additionally, their stackable configuration supports washing and drying functions, allowing users to build upwards to create a five- or seven-drum system.
With these pioneering designs redefining the traditional washing machine, the industry may soon embrace multi-zone washing as the new standard for convenience and efficiency.

Miele Unveils Next-Generation Dishwashers with Energy Efficiency Class A
Miele is setting new standards in sustainability with the global launch of its latest dishwasher range, boasting the highest energy efficiency rating. The G 5000 Active and Active Plus models will be available starting May 2025, making top-tier efficiency more accessible across all price points.
Leading the Market in Sustainability
The demand for energy-efficient appliances is growing, with more than half of Miele dishwashers sold in Germany carrying an A or B label—solidifying Miele’s reputation as a leader in sustainable innovation. The updated G 5000 series now ensures consumers can enjoy maximum energy savings without compromising performance.
AutoOpen: A Smarter Approach to Drying
One of the most significant advancements in the new lineup is the integration of Miele’s AutoOpen automatic door opening function across all models—a feature previously reserved for premium-tier appliances. AutoOpen deactivates the final heating phase, significantly reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the door opens slightly to allow natural air circulation, effectively removing residual moisture without the risk of damage to kitchen cabinets. This ensures superior drying results while maintaining the long-term durability and aesthetic appeal of surrounding surfaces.
Precision Cleaning with AutoDos Technology
For added convenience, the G 7000 series includes AutoDos, Miele’s automatic detergent dosing system with an integrated PowerDisk. This feature ensures precise dispensing of powder granules, preventing under- or over-dosing to deliver consistently high cleaning performance.
With its latest innovations, Miele continues to prioritize efficiency, sustainability, and user convenience, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in home appliances.
