Hisense domestic appliances: large sizes, well equipped, low prices
Hisense is known for its TVs, but the Chinese brand has also become a serious player in large domestic appliances, with the European know-how of Gorenje. At Nimestore, we have 51 Hisense appliances, from 13 kg washing machines to multi-door fridges. Here is everything you need to know before choosing.
- Hisense group, owner of Gorenje, ASKO and ATAG
- Key strengths: large capacities and plenty of features for the price
- Worth knowing: cooling often falls in class D or E), reliability still poorly documented
- At our store: 51 appliances, mainly fridges, cooking and washing
Hisense in a few words
Hisense is a Chinese group founded in 1969 in Qingdao. Very well known in Belgium for its televisions (you will find everything about its TVs in our Hisense TV section), it is also a major manufacturer of fridges and domestic appliances. The brand presents itself as the world's third-largest fridge manufacturer: this is a figure from the brand, which we have not been able to verify independently.
The turning point came in 2018: Hisense bought around 95% of Slovenia's Gorenje, and with it the brands ASKO (Scandinavian, premium) and ATAG (Dutch, very present in the Benelux). Since then, part of the Hisense range has been developed and made with Gorenje's industrial facilities: the American-style fridges intended for Europe come out of the Valjevo plant in Serbia, and Hisense ovens carry a Slovenian barcode. Washing machines, however, are still mostly made in China. So we can honestly say 'part of the Hisense range is designed in Europe with Gorenje', without generalising to the whole range.
Its philosophy: offer large capacities and plenty of features at a moderate price, with a strong focus on connectivity. Since 2025, the brand has also moved up-market with models featuring screens and artificial intelligence functions.
Hisense's strengths and weaknesses
Why we like Hisense
- Big volumes at gentle prices: washing machines up to 13 kg, American fridges over 560 litres
- 77-litre built-in ovens, even at entry level
- Cooking and refrigeration partly drawn from Gorenje know-how
- Full ConnectLife app on connected models
- Well-equipped dishwashers and hobs for the price
Limitations
- Many fridges and freezers in class D or E
- Long-term reliability still poorly documented (recent brand in appliances)
- 72 dB spin: decent, though not quiet
- Belgian warranty beyond the 2 legal years not confirmed
- Range names currently changing (S, i, Hi...)
In short: Hisense is an excellent choice if you want capacity and features without blowing your budget. If you're aiming for the lowest energy consumption or the longest possible reassurance on reliability, let's talk: we'll also show you other brands in store.

To understand all these names, go to Hisense technologies explained.
ConnectLife, the Hisense app
Connected Hisense appliances are controlled with ConnectLife, a free app for Android and iPhone, shared by Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO and ATAG. It lets you start or pause a cycle remotely, track water and electricity use, receive an alert at the end of a cycle, adjust the fridge temperature or run a diagnostic. With a compatible washer-dryer pair, the feature Smart Link passes the wash programme on to the dryer.
Warranty and after-sales service in Belgium
Every Hisense appliance bought from us benefits from the 2-year statutory guarantee, the legal guarantee owed by the seller. In France, Hisense adds a 10-year warranty on the Inverter motor of its washing machines (parts only), and in the UK an extension on compressors. These offers are not confirmed for Belgium : so we don't promise them without a document from Hisense Belgium. For a fault, contact us first: we know who to call. The details are on our page Hisense maintenance and after-sales service.
As with all major appliances, the recycling levy Recupel is included in the price and funds the recycling of your old appliance.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hisense a good appliance brand?
It's a serious brand, very well equipped for the price, which partly relies on Gorenje's industrial base in Europe. Its weak point is its limited track record: Test-Achats doesn't yet have enough data to calculate the lifespan of its washing machines and fridges. It also doesn't appear among brands with recurring problems.
Are Hisense and Gorenje the same thing?
Hisense has owned Gorenje since 2018. Some Hisense ovens, hobs and fridges are developed and made with Gorenje in Slovenia and Serbia. Washing machines, on the other hand, mainly come from China. They are two separate brands with different ranges.
What warranty applies to a Hisense appliance in Belgium?
You always have the statutory 2-year guarantee. Hisense offers a 10-year guarantee on the Inverter motor of its washing machines in France, but we have no written confirmation for Belgium. We therefore don't promise it: ask us at the time of purchase.
Which app is used for connected Hisense appliances?
ConnectLife, a free app shared by Hisense, Gorenje, ASKO and ATAG. It lets you start a cycle, monitor energy use, receive alerts and run a diagnosis. Features vary by appliance.
Why are so many Hisense fridges in class E?
Large formats (American-style and multi-door) use more energy, and Hisense prioritises price. A class E costs a few tens of euros more per year than a class C. If energy use matters to you, look at the RB370K5SSC fridge-freezer or the RL415N4AWC single-door, both in class C.
