Haier 16kg Twin Tub Washing Machine – Bulk Wash, No Fixed Plumbing HTW160-Z1217

The Haier HTW160-Z1217 is a 16kg twin tub washing machine with a separate 7.5kg spin-dry tub, a Storm Wash pulsator, and Soak Master pre-soak function. It’s built for households without fixed plumbing or a dedicated laundry setup, who still need genuine bulk-wash capacity at a fraction of the price of a full-size automatic machine.

Because the wash and spin tubs run independently, you can start spinning one load while the next is still soaking or washing in the other tub, which cuts your total laundry time compared to a single-drum machine doing everything in sequence. The Storm Wash pulsator’s high-rib design creates a strong multi-directional water action that pushes detergent deep into heavily soiled fabrics, and Soak Master runs an automated soak phase ahead of the wash cycle for laundry that needs extra attention before it even starts agitating.

A Rat Guard base plate shields the machine’s internal wiring from rodent damage underneath — a genuinely practical feature for outdoor laundry areas and garages, where rodents are a real risk that indoor-only machines don’t need to worry about. The Fresh Air System channels air down into the spin tub during drying to help pull extra moisture out before your washing goes on the line, and the Anti-Bacteria Pulsator treatment helps keep the parts of the tub that stay damp between washes cleaner for longer.

It suits households without a fixed plumbing connection, anyone doing laundry in a garage, outdoor area, or informal settlement setup, and budget-conscious buyers who want serious 16kg capacity without paying automatic-machine prices. Run a full soak-and-wash cycle for heavily soiled work clothes, then spin-dry separately while starting the next load. Order now and enjoy free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need fixed plumbing to use a twin tub washing machine?

No. A twin tub like the Haier HTW160-Z1217 is designed to run without a permanent plumbing connection — you fill the wash tub manually or with a hosepipe, and drain it via the machine’s outlet hose into a drain, sink, or outdoor area. That makes it a practical option for garages, outdoor laundry areas, and homes without a dedicated laundry connection.

What size twin tub do I need for a large household?

Twin tubs are sized by wash tub capacity rather than the same rules as automatic machines, since you can run back-to-back loads while spinning previous ones. At 16kg wash capacity with a separate 7.5kg spin tub, the Haier HTW160-Z1217 is sized for large families or shared households doing bulk washes regularly, including bedding and workwear.

Does Daily Discounts deliver washing machines across South Africa?

Yes. We deliver nationwide, typically within 3 to 5 working days of order confirmation. Twin tubs don’t need professional plumbing installation the way automatic machines do, but do check your delivery access for a machine this size before ordering.
