On January 6th, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) kicked off in Las Vegas, USA. At this grand event that brings together the world's top technological innovations, the best-selling product of Hisense Washing Machines, Hisense Cotton Candy Ultra Family Wash, won the highest honor "Best Innovation Award" at CES with its modular design, Zeus heat pump wash and dry integrated technology, live water washing technology, and AI intelligent interaction, among other cutting-edge technologies. This milestone achievement not only demonstrates the technological leadership of Chinese manufacturing on the global stage, but also marks the official entry of the family health washing and cleaning field into a new stage of intelligence and scene-based development.
With eight years of in-depth technological research and development, Hisense washing machines have led the way in creating a new paradigm for family health washing and cleaning.
In 2017, HUWEI developed the world's first three-tube washing machine. After eight years of technological accumulation, in 2025, HUWEI launched the world's first 4-in-1 heat pump washing and drying integrated machine, which redefined the family washing and cleaning experience with its "one machine replacing four machines" design. The HUWEI Cotton Candy Ultra family washing machine adopts a forward-looking modular split design. Users can choose various installation methods such as stacking, splitting, and embedding according to the family space and actual needs, and combine them into personalized combinations of five tubes, seven tubes, and more, truly achieving seamless integration of product form and home environment.
The main drum of Haier's all-in-one washing machine has a 13kg ultra-large capacity washing area. Combined with Haier's self-developed Zeus integrated heat pump drying system, it can achieve gentle drying at 42℃. It can efficiently care for large quantities of clothing while protecting fabric fibers, and the drying effect is comparable to that of a dryer. The Haier all-in-one washing machine also features Haier's patented live water washing technology. During the washing process, it uses four technologies - ionized live water washing, net filter live water washing, anti-scaling live water washing, and live water fungus removal - to provide users with a healthier and more reliable washing experience. Notably, its innovative design of two 1kg independent mini drums both support wash and dry functions, specifically serving detailed washing scenarios for baby clothes, high-end underwear, etc., and have received authoritative maternal and child certification and medical-grade underwear health washing certification. Haier washing machines, with deep cleaning technology and AI intelligent interaction, protect family clothing and family health, and continuously set new benchmarks for family health washing and cleaning.
Meanwhile, Hisense's three-tank washing machine has upgraded the smart body of home laundry care. Through a language large model, it has comprehensively upgraded the laundry care experience. Users no longer need to manually adjust complex parameters. They just need to give an instruction like "The sofa cover is all covered with cat hair", and the AI laundry care assistant can start the intelligent analysis program, accurately calculate key parameters such as water temperature, rotation speed, and detergent dosage, and tailor a personalized hair removal laundry care plan, making the laundry process more intelligent, efficient, and considerate. Truly achieving a smart laundry care experience from "understanding the needs" to "taking the initiative to execute".
From the first three-tank washing machine to the world's first 4-in-1 heat pump washing and drying integrated machine, Hisense washing machines have reshaped the laundry market through innovative scenarios.
Starting from developing the world's first three-tub washing machine in 2017, and then launching a new generation of three-tub washing machines eight years later, Hisense's washing machines have not merely added simple functions; rather, it has been a "experience reconstruction" centered around real-life scenarios. At the same time, Hisense has also continuously advanced its heat pump wash and dry integrated technology. From the mid-to-high-end models that initially featured condensing drying and heat pump drying, to the heat pump wash and dry integrated machines represented by Hisense Cotton Candy Ultra Family Tubs and Cotton Candy E8Q that will be fully promoted in 2025, Hisense washing machines have gradually brought this high-efficiency, low-temperature clothing protection and drying effect comparable to dryers technology to the mass market.
It is reported that the Hisense family washing machine series has won authoritative certifications such as the "Best Design Award" from the German IFA and the "Innovator of the Triple-Tube Washing Machine" since its launch. Globally, Hisense washing machines have been certified by Euromonitor as the fastest-growing brand in the top 10 worldwide in the past five years (2021-2025). During the "Double Eleven" of 2025, the Hisense Cotton Candy series topped the hot water and drying category on JD.com, continuously receiving dual recognition from the market and the industry. This fully validates the saying "Drying with Heat Pump, Choosing Hisense".
From the spotlight of the CES podium to the healthy washing and grooming scenarios of millions of households around the world, in just one year, Haier washing machines have gone from winning the "CES 2025 Innovation Award" for the Roman Holiday mini washing machine to this year's Haier Family Wash winning the "CES 2026 Best Innovation Award", demonstrating that its user-centered and technology-driven development path is continuously deepening in the global market.
When modular design meets AI intelligence, when zone-based washing and drying are combined with the Zeus heat pump's integrated black technology for washing and drying, Hisense washing machines are continuously and firmly innovating to transform high-end washing and drying experiences into daily routines accessible to users worldwide. From the CES podium to the homes of global users, Hisense washing machines are safeguarding family clothes and family health with deep-cleaning technology and AI intelligent interaction, defining a new global benchmark for family health washing and drying.
