Haier has unveiled its 2026 product lineup with its new “Premium Intelligence, Forward Together” theme, marking a shift from standalone appliances towards an integrated smart living ecosystem anchored by its next-generation “Haier Smart Home” solution, which focuses on connecting Wi-Fi-enabled appliances across the home into a unified platform, allowing devices to interact and operate in adaptive scenarios.
Haier 2026 Appliances Lineup

Central to the 2026 lineup is what Haier claimed as Malaysia’s first multi-wash 3-drum washing machine, scheduled to be available in January 2026. This new washer combines two 1kg upper drums with a 12kg main drum, allowing multiple loads with different fabrics or colors to be washed simultaneously to save time and improve energy efficiency. There’s also UV sterilization that takes care of pathogens, along with AI-based adjustments that automatically optimize washing parameters for each load.

Haier also expanded its residential air conditioning range with the UV Cool AI Voice air conditioner from the VSC series, expected in February 2026. The main feature here is voice control for hands-free operation, while AI ECO technology helps with energy management and monitoring, useful for those looking to save energy bills. Internally, the units uses UVC Pro sterilization to remove bacteria and viruses, while graphene-based Black Fin helps with long-term durability in local climate conditions.

The company will also update its light commercial air conditioning (LCAC) range with new models such as Smart Healthy series with UVC sterilization, Cabinet R32 Series focusing on airflow with extended reach, as well as the next-generation MRV7 systems that features variable refrigerant adjustment (VRA), free-choice wiring for installations, plus Bluetooth-based monitoring and troubleshooting. Super Clima chillers will complement the lineup with cost-efficient cooling solutions aimed at commercial and industrial applications.

In refrigeration, Haier is set to release Horizon Collection in Q2 2026 – the secret sauce in this new lineup is keeping food fresh with… magnets. Sounds wild, but we found a research paper describing this process: by using magnetic fields, it helps to reduce ice crystal formation to avoid damaging the cell and nutrients when thawed, while simultaneously inhibits microbial growth, all of which helps prolong the shelf life of the ingredients involved. Additionally, this fridge also comes with a transparent window that lights up when approached, reducing the need to open the doors which wastes cooling energy.

Continuing with the cold stuffs, Haier’s cold storage lineup will be expanded with the HCF-249MEB Freezer, scheduled for May 2026, featuring Deo Fresh activated carbon deodorization technology, -30°C deep freezing capability, and high-pressure microcellular foam insulation designed to maintain internal temperatures for up to 150 hours during power interruptions. The freezer includes a tempered glass door with anti-scratch protection for improved durability.

Haier also brought its first ever 100-inch television in H100S90FUX QD-Mini LED TV, set to launch in February 2026. This model uses a 144Hz Mini LED panel coupled with Haier SR Ultra Sense processor co-developed with MediaTek, with integrated Homey AI functions for picture quality, sound optimization, gaming performance, connectivity, and eye care functions.

In kitchen appliances, the HH-N8908B Kitchen Hood, arriving in February 2026, features a slim 325mm integrated design with an auto-telescoping function for smoke extraction. Haier will also introduce its first dishwasher (HDWA18-686BK5MY) in Malaysia in April 2026, which uses Quattro Dual Wash technology and an automatic door opening and closing function to improve cleaning coverage and drying efficiency for household dishwashing.
Completing the 2026 range is the K-Series EI45E-KP5CB-FRS(MY) water heater, planned for May 2026, featuring a thickened copper tank, a 4,500-watt heating output, dual copper heating tubes, a full touchscreen interface, and a multi-stage filtration system designed to remove rust, silt, algae, and fine impurities.
