Haier has officially revealed its 2026 product line-up under the strategic direction “Premium Intelligence, Forward Together,” outlining a major shift from standalone appliances to a fully integrated smart living ecosystem. The announcement was made during an exclusive showcase, where Haier detailed its ambition to redefine everyday living through connected, intelligent home solutions.

 

Haier Smart Home for a Fully Integrated Living Experience

Haier Smart Home is designed to move beyond basic connectivity by allowing appliances across the home to operate together in coordinated, adaptive scenarios. From climate control to kitchen appliances and entertainment, the platform uses AI-driven intelligence to anticipate user needs and optimise performance across devices.

According to Haier Malaysia, this approach reflects the brand’s evolution from a traditional appliance manufacturer into a smart living enabler, aligning innovation with how modern households live and interact with technology.

Anchoring Haier’s 2026 portfolio is Malaysia’s first Multi-Wash 3-Drum Washing Machine, scheduled to be available in January 2026. The washer features a unique triple-drum configuration, combining two 1kg upper drums for delicate or small loads with a 12kg main drum for regular laundry.

This design allows users to run multiple washes simultaneously, saving time, water, and energy while improving fabric care and hygiene. Built-in UV sterilisation enhances cleanliness, while AI-powered intelligence automatically adjusts wash settings to deliver optimal results for each load. Haier says the machine redefines expectations of what modern laundry appliances can achieve.

Haier is expanding its residential air conditioning portfolio with the UV Cool AI Voice Air Conditioner VSC Series, launching in February 2026. The new model supports hands-free AI voice control, allowing users to manage cooling settings without physical interaction.

AI ECO technology optimises energy consumption and enables real-time electricity monitoring, while UVC Pro sterilisation works to eliminate bacteria and viruses from the air. Black Fin coating improves durability and corrosion resistance, positioning the VSC Series as a long-lasting and energy-efficient cooling solution for modern homes.

 

Horizon Collection Redefines Refrigeration Technology

Haier also introduced the Horizon Collection, arriving in the second quarter of 2026. The collection features the world’s first magnetic-controlled freshness technology, using a stable magnetic field to suppress ice crystal formation during freezing, preserving food texture, nutrition, and freshness.

The refrigerators offer a large 800-litre capacity suited for modern households, paired with a premium exterior and interior finish. A human-sensing transparent door gradually illuminates interior lighting when approached, allowing users to view contents without opening the door and reducing cold air loss.
