A red shirt in a load of whites is laundry sabotage. Haier’s new Vision 15 washer catches the culprit before it turns everything pink, using a camera built into the door to spot mixed colors before the wash even starts.
It’s one of several innovations Haier unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, all built around the same idea: appliances that pay attention instead of blindly running the same cycle every time. Cameras, sensors, and AI processors now appear across its washers, refrigerators, ovens, and TVs under Haier’s “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” theme.
Vision 15 Washer
Beyond catching a mixed load, foam spills out from under the door before anyone notices too often, and by the time it’s caught, there’s already suds on the floor and a fresh chore nobody planned for. The Vision 15 gives the machine something no washer has really had before: a way to actually see what it’s doing.
That same camera powering AI Vision Sense also detects how much laundry is actually in the drum and suggests a matching programme, confirms the drum isn’t sitting empty before a cycle even starts, and checks at the end that nothing got left behind or tangled in the door seal.
That camera doesn’t work alone. It feeds into AI Power Sense, a network of nine sensors tracking weight, balance, water level and temperature, detergent dosing, and drum movement in real time, so the machine is constantly adjusting based on what’s actually happening inside it rather than running a fixed program blind. AI Memory learns which settings a household tends to reach for and starts suggesting them automatically, while Smart Dosing and Ultra Mix Pro premix detergent, water, and air before a high-pressure jet sends it into the drum.
Hygiene gets its own dedicated system on top of all that. Ultra Fresh Air Pro circulates air and gently moves the drum for up to 12 hours after a cycle ends, drying both the drum and the seal so laundry doesn’t sit trapped in a damp, closed machine, the exact condition that breeds odor and mildew. An antibacterial treatment on the seal and detergent drawer claims to eliminate up to 99.99% of bacteria, backed by a 90°C drum clean cycle for when the machine itself needs washing.
Vision 15 Tumble Dryer
Padding and multiple fabric layers are where most dryers actually fail, even when the display says a cycle finished successfully. A “dry” jacket comes out with the shell warm and the inner lining still damp, since standard sensors only ever check the surface of a load.
Ultra Sense reaches past that surface entirely, running a 3D moisture scan up to 40,000 times a second, built on an algorithm Haier trained across 500 internal test sets. The dryer just keeps adjusting until a jacket’s lining is as dry as its shell, instead of stopping the moment the outside feels finished.
That same attention shows up in how the load actually moves. A dual-motor Ultra Reverse Drum spins in both directions, cutting down on the tangling and “balling” that leaves items twisted into a knot by the end of a cycle. Even the door plays along, opening on its own as someone walks up, a small touch, but a welcome one when both hands are already full of the next load.
Horizon Refrigerator
Most fridges are just cold storage. Something goes in, it gets forgotten, and it comes back out weeks later past the point anyone would want to eat it. Haier’s Horizon fridge is built to actually manage what’s inside instead of just holding it cold and hoping nothing spoils before someone notices.
Hydro Hub does a lot of that work, pairing cameras and a food database that recognize what’s stored and estimate how long it’ll last with a hydration setup built around the same idea. A rapid-chill zone gets drinks cold fast, a carafe refills itself, and a built-in sparkling water system runs three carbonation levels, all inside a design running up to 700 liters and built around what Haier calls time, space, and imagination.
Thawing will be getting the same treatment soon too; currently, Haier is prototyping an AI Defrost Zone on their Maestro series. This feature is looking to put an end to you pulling meat from the freezer hours in advance, or having to deal with waterlogged meat that you flash defrosted by picking a happy medium. The zone thaws around 200 grams of meat in about 10 minutes while keeping drip loss under 0.5 percent, so dinner doesn’t have to start the night before. Once the tech has advanced further, Haier expects to push another prototype of it onto the Horizon line some time in 2027.
Produce gets its own zone too, holding humidity up to 90% to keep fruit and vegetables from wilting early, while compartments adjust temperature independently and ABT Pro antibacterial treatment covers the interior. The result should be fruits and veggies that look as good as they taste for longer.
ID Ultimate Series 6 Oven, Hob, and Hood
A kitchen usually runs on three separate appliances that happen to sit near each other, not three appliances actually working together. Haier’s ID Ultimate Series 6 builds the oven, hob, and hood as one connected system instead, so they’re actually talking to each other instead of just sharing a countertop.
Instead of watching your food cook through the window in the door, Haier has implemented AI Vision, which is intended to make asking “Is that done?” a thing of the past. The system recognizes what’s cooking, tracks its progress, and stops the cycle on its own once the result matches what was intended, all visible at a glance through a status light bar or checked remotely from your phone. A wireless probe backs that up for anything that needs an exact internal temperature, and a 78-liter cavity across seven shelf levels means more than one dish can go in without crowding. Pure Flavour Steam rounds it out with full or combined steam cooking, plus a dedicated sous-vide mode for the kind of precision an oven alone usually can’t offer.
The hob picks up where the oven leaves off, tracking exactly where a pan sits and following it with power as it moves, handling up to six pans at once through a single TFT touch interface. From there, the hood connects directly to whatever’s happening on the hob: a MotionSense gesture turns it on and off without anyone touching a button, and HumanSense switches the lighting on automatically the moment someone steps up to cook.
I-Pro Shine Dishwashers
Three lightly used plates and a sink’s worth of caked-on pans get the exact same cycle in most dishwashers, whether that makes sense or not. One end wastes water and time, and the other comes out barely clean, since neither load actually got a cycle built around it.
I-Pro Shine reads the actual condition of a load instead, how dirty it is, how full the racks are, and works backward from there to figure out water use, temperature, and cycle length. A person just picks the intensity or result they want, and the system finds the most efficient way to get there, landing as high as A-70% compared with the threshold of Class A, while running at just 36 dB.
SmartDose, meanwhile, handles detergent automatically and precisely instead of leaving it to guesswork, and the baskets fold and reconfigure independently, built for oddly shaped cookware as easily as a full load of plates.
M92 TV
One fixed picture profile applied to every scene is why a dim thriller and a bright sitcom can both look slightly wrong right after each other, just in different ways. A screen that can’t tell the difference between the two ends up compromising on both.
Haier’s UltraSense AI, however, was designed to identify the difference and make a decision for you. It continuously analyzes image and audio together and adjusts both in real time instead of applying one setting across everything.
Four systems split up the work.
- AI Cinema handles scene recognition, color, contrast, depth, HDR, and motion, so a dark alley chase stays detailed instead of crushing into a muddy black, while a sunlit outdoor scene right after it doesn’t suddenly look washed out.
- AI Sound separates and balances voices and frequencies underneath that, keeping dialogue clear even in the middle of an action scene stacked with explosions and a full musical score.
- AI Game takes over the moment something competitive shows up, adjusting refresh rate on the fly to cut lag and tearing, with a Gaming Accelerator pushing up to 240Hz at 2K on compatible models, the difference between a clean quick-turn in a shooter and a blurry one that costs the match.
- AI Eye Caring works in the background rather than on screen, adjusting for ambient light and content so a late-night binge doesn’t leave eyes strained by morning, backed by TÜV certification for reduced blue light.
A Pure RGB Light Engine paired with AI Color Crosstalk Control is built specifically to keep colors accurate and distinct instead of bleeding into each other, the kind of detail that mostly shows up in scenes with a lot going on at once.
I-Pro Clean Series 5 R5 Robot Vacuum
Robot vacuums have gotten better at navigating a cluttered home, but most of them still treat the floor as one uniform surface, running the same single roller over carpet and hardwood alike and leaving debris behind in whichever one it handles worse. Haier’s R5 splits that job in two instead, running a Double Roller system where two motorized rollers work together, moving forward and backward to pick up more dirt in fewer passes over the same patch of floor.
Getting there without missing a room or bumping into furniture takes real navigation, and LDS mapping paired with a camera and AI handles that part, building a layout of your living room while spotting obstacles in real time, rather than bumping around and hoping for the best. Suction climbs as high as 22,000 Pa for whatever the rollers don’t pick up on the pass, and the mop knows the difference between surfaces on its own, extending onto hard floors and lifting clear the moment it senses carpet, so nothing gets left damp that shouldn’t be.
None of that requires touching the robot once it’s running, either. The dock handles the parts nobody wants to do by hand: recharging between rooms, emptying the bin, and washing and drying the mop before the next cycle starts.
