I bought the fridge about 22 months ago and I am so annoyed by the piece of junk that I was moved to check out the reviews to see someone with a near identical experience to mine. In addition to the ice forming, the rubbers no longer will sit properly. I have wasted $1,000 on Haier HBM450SA1 (450L, Silver). Never EVER again will I buy a Haier fridge. I will rebuy a Fisher and Paykel that served me without any issues and I only replaced it bc it was 13/14 years old. I miss my old fridge that shut properly, kept food in the climate intended. That's not asking too bloody much is it? At least, this review will save others from a lousy purchase.

This fridge was fine for the first year - now has started building up ice at the bottom of the freezer and leaking. Never again will I buy a Haier. It is meant to have automatic defrost so who knows why this is happening .. customer service sure don't. They told us we need to take it somewhere to be fixed - we can't do that so i guess we will have to buy a new fridge. Thanks a lot

Bought this fridge brand new off Appliances Online. After a couple of weeks we realised the seal was broken. It took a few days for the repair man to come look at it and tell us what we already knew. Then we waited another three weeks for him to order a part and have availability to come and fix it. He put a brand new seal on it and said to leave it for an hour. Now we have checked and it's STILL broken. In fact the repair man made it worse as it's now not sealing in multiple places. Very Frustrating!

Positives: has worked well for us for 3 years, good temperate control, good energy consumption.

Negatives: slid Id ing shelves often fall off the tracks. Freshbox shelves dont disassemble and can grow mould in the cracks (after years) with no way to access to clean.

We bought this fridge 6 months ago and the fridge part doesn't work. We we told that it will take approx.10 days for a repair man to come and check it out!! really, how does a family survive without a fridge.

Does all the things a fridge should do, but how much noise is too much? How do you know if it's making an unusual amount of noise because this fridge is LOUD! I wouldn't recommend for an apartment where your lounge is in close proximity to your fridge, and my taller friends seem to have trouble finding the handle.

I shopped a LOT for a fridge & this is brilliant. The stainless steel shows no marks, the extra fridge draw with special zone works! It is such an asset as it actually keeps meat fresh enough for super fussy cats. There's no dampness {indicating no humidity} yet fruit & veg last insanely well. The doors don't swing back very far however they are reversible so they have the solution for that. No ugly bumps or overlaps on the top surface of this fridge so much easier on the eye.

The fridge runs very quietly, the freezer is easy to clean, the space is large enough to provide ample food and drink, and it's perfect for kids to enjoy quick cold drinks. It's a little hard to figure out how to use it because it has so many functions, but once we do, it becomes a household necessity.

The refrigerator is operating very well. The temperature has been very good.
looks great, easy to clean shelving and two drawers in the fridge is great for vegetable and meat storage and easy to see what’s in them,It's the right size, it's quiet, I'm not complaining. It's great.
This refrigerator can be opened and closed easily

I've had this fridge for over 1 year now, and I'm very happy with it. Can't complain at all. It's silent, and I have no issues with frosting or anything else. The temperature is well maintaining in all the compartments, and it's very easy to clean because every part easily comes out. Great purchase!

Good clean design, price is reasonable and affordable, we only have 2 people so the space is really enough, pretty much all functions we need has been met. Most of time is very quiet except a little sound for seconds and energy saving our electricity bill remains almost the same after change this one.

This fridge is a big improvement on out old rust bucket one and its like night and day! It is quite - that's the first big plus and I love having the freezer bottom mounted. I was thinking its more environmental friendly like that (cold drops) but I have discovered that all the food is at a much better height to choose like this. Its clean and new inside with good shelving options. Happy with it.

Quiet for the most part i notice it more so on hot days is a little louder. Fridge is awesome with a draw that has its own temprature option. Freezer is pretty standed size for this type of fridge/freezer which in my opinion is to small so i have another freezer as well.

It’s a great fridge with some great features like my zone which isolates the rest of fridge which I can change the temp great for beers.and u have temp controls for the fridge,my zone, and the freezer so u can turn off the fridge when going on holidays but leave the freezer on which is a fantastic feature but as the heading says the only problem is that it’s a little noisy and as time goes on I’m wondering weather it will get louder

Purchased 5 months ago and love it. For the price it offered features that more expensive in other frigs have. Four star rating and five slide out draws that separate foods and reduce the loss of cold from the other parts of the frig so very cheap to run.
A bit noisy when first installed when freezer was cooling but now very quiet. Excellent internal lights and surprisingly large capacity. Cold water dispenser is very slow so we continue to use stored water in the frig unless you have a minute to fill a glass.

Fantastic fridge has heaps of space and we love the bottom cold zone drawer. The crisper is huge and keeps the fruit amd veg nice for ages. The only thing I wish was different is the freezer I wish it was a bit bigger. Love the option to change the side that the door opens from too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this fridge to anyone we are very happy with it. It is super quiet and it os very easy to clean out with the glass shelves a quick wipe amd it is as good as new.

This fridge is a bit noisy to run often noise cutting in and out so hard to get used too.
Shelf height is also a bit awkward and freezer draws are to small in comparison to fridge space.
But overall is good quality for the price Tag and is a good size for medium sized family.

Modern stainless steel finish with external LED displaying inside temp zones (3). Energy efficient 4 star and very quiet, especially when compared to my 15 year old Fisher and Paykel.
Keeps all my food very cold, and the crisper drawers are great. Bottom mounted freezer is a good idea, as is the 3 large drawers inside. Lighting inside is excellent with every shelf lit, and easy to clean.
The drawers sometimes come out a little crooked, and it's difficult to push back in......but that's a small thing that's easy to avoid by ensuring to pull out the drawers straight.

Wonderful easy access fridge, very quiet, easy to clean and stays at an all round temperature. It’s great to be able to see what’s inside easily, also I love that I can easily see inside the fridge with out bending down. The freezer also is great as there is a lot of storage.
