China’s Home Appliance Giants: Global Expansion & Market Dominance

Chinese home appliance giants like Midea, Haier, and Hisense have spent years acquiring international brands to expand globally. Previously, they kept their original brands domestic, but since the pandemic, they’ve embraced a more visible global presence—Hisense and Haier even sponsor major sporting events.

Many leading brands now belong to Chinese corporations, including Toshiba, Sanyo, Candy, and GE Appliances. This strategy has propelled them to industry dominance—Hisense and TCL rank among the top three global TV brands, and Haier leads in total revenue.

Younger consumers prioritize quality over brand reputation, boosting trust in Chinese products. However, managing multiple brands brings challenges—Hisense and Haier’s premium positioning may eventually lead to internal pricing competition.

Safety notices for heat pump dryers

The Office for Product Safety and Standards has issued safety reports concerning select heat pump dryer models across multiple brands, including Hoover, Candy, Baumatic, Caple, Haier, Iberna, Lamona, and Montpelier. 

A total of 27 models have been flagged for non-compliance with the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016. These units are at risk of an internal short circuit, which could potentially lead to ignition. 

Consumers are advised to check their dryer models and follow official safety guidance to mitigate risks.

With over sixty years of history, the Red Dot Award is one of the most influential international awards dedicated to product design, evaluating excellence in aesthetics, functionality, and innovation. The Candy, Hoover, and Haier brands once again stand out for their ability to combine advanced technology, style, and a deep understanding of real consumer needs. The four award-winning products

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.
