Doubting Thomas Flip

published

We purchased this fridge not expecting it to be better than our old 520L Australian made fridge. What a surprise to find it looks better, works better, has more fridge space, easy to see crisper contents, quieter and a quality product. Don’t be put off this brand. We are pleased to have made the right decision

Excellent Cooling. Worth buying

published

Bought this fridge recently, space is excellent with amazing cooling and temperature maintained properly.
Less noise, LED light. But the internal shelf design could have been better compared to the other products.
Another advantage associated with it is 3 years manufacturing warranty. Overall I would recommend this product for all.

Great fridge at a fantastic price

published

Purchased this 'upside down' fridge two weeks ago after researching different models for a couple of months.
As the Haier is rated four stars for energy efficiency, we are able to claim the $250 rebate from the Qld Govt.
The fridge is incredibly quiet!
It is also very user friendly with three doors in the freezer and all fridge components at eye level - I love not stooping down searching in my vege cabinets - makes it so easy to see things at a glance.

Great value for money

published

Overall the fridge is excellent value for money, we particularly like the extra draw at the bottom of the fridge with separate temperature control meaning it can be used for meat or vegies. The only negative points that we found were that a door shelf has to be removed before the crisper drawer can be taken out to wash and the bottom drawer in the freezer can stick if it not square when pushing it in.



Overall the fridge is efficient and works well even during a week of 35 degree + temperatures

Yes I would buy it again and yes I would recommend it

I do not recommend

published

I bought this because it has two "fresh box", not so many products has this design. However, when you pull the top box open about 10cm, the box fall off from the rail. Then you have to pull the box all the way out, insert it back to place. Imagin doing that when you have 5kg fruits in the box. And even worse, the freezer leaks water. Took Fisher and Paykel one month to fix the issue. F&P is the contracted maintainer for Haier.

It is good but could have been better

published

Bought is almost a year ago from Harvey Norman. It is good for the price we paid. It is quite, easy to clean, makes ice quick, the water dispenser is really good and is easily accessible. It has 2 veggie boxes. The freezer has 3 drawers which is very convenient for me.

value for money, good size

published

very useful my zone section which keeps things at lower than fridge temperature but not frozen. very useful for meats etc and no need to de-frost the stuff when needed. highly recommend this fridge. great value for money.

mine does make a slight sound at times of the day when its working hard to keep things cool, i suppose. which is a bit annoying and i need to report.

Good value fridge

published

We needed something this size to fit a cavity.
Decided to grab this Haier due to its good reviews and so far it has lived up to the hype.
Very good Value especially if you wait until it’s on Special.
As mentioned by others the ice tray is very small.

Good fridge - a few issues but overall decent

published

Generally a good fridge - was the biggest capacity we could find to fit our small apartment fridge space. Great to have freezer bottom mount to save our backs!
Only issue that does annoy us is one of the chiller drawers doesn’t open/close easily and often gets stuck. So we tend not to use it - which halves our fruit/veg chilling space. As soon as there is any weight in the drawer it seems to slip off the runners and gets stuck.

stable fridge for a good price

published

The temperature control is easy to use and the extra myzone is especially handy. However, the downside is that freezer capacity is smaller than it looks. It's relatively quiet but does have some odd noises every now and then. cleaning isn't an issue. It's a great fridge for its price.

This product is exactly what I want

published

I got this refrigerator from JB HiFI three months ago. And I have loved it so far. It gets three different degrees: the top three layers 3C degree, the middle one layer maintains at 0C degree and the bottom layers are -18C degree. I love the 0 degree layer, it will not frozen the meet, so you don’t have to unfreeze it. And the refrigerator looks good too! Perfectly matches my kitchen!

Great! Perfect fridge for our new home.

published

The fridge is great at maintaining a cool temperature, and can be manually programmed quite easily. The bottom mount freezer is great, with three drawers of storage. It can be a little noisy, but I can only hear this at night. The fridge is also super easy to clean, and the water compartment for cold drinks works quite well.

It's helpful. Can't live without it

published

It's good temperature in all compartments.
It's a little bit loud,but not a long time, just about 5 seconds.
It's very easy to clean, because the inside is very spacious.
I can't live without it now. It's helpful and useful for my family. The brand is very famous in China.

Good Fridge and Perfect for couple

published

I bought this fridge in Aug 2017. Good value for money and does the job for you instead spending more on Samsung or LG for the same features and litres. Got good energy rating and maintain temperatures in all the compartments. On negative side, Drawers are not easy to pull out for cleaning and could have been better design with the compartments. Very good fridge for small families and good value for money.

HBM450SA1 (Silver)

Front control panel has stopped working, any way to get it going again

There is a tiny little circuit board about 1cm square that resides at the top of the fridge door. My guess is that this detects when the door is opened. The lights on the front panel only work when the door is opened as you know. So maybe the lights don't know the door has been opened? I assume the temperatures etc are all OK? Carefully take the top plastic panel off the top of the door and check out the circuit board to see if it is properly connected. Maybe spray the connections with WD40 Contact Cleaner. Note not the regular WD40 but the WD40 Contact Cleaner. This stuff is fantastic. Good luck.

I've not encountered that issue. In fact I am thrilled with this fridge. It looks small but it's an entertainers fridge.
