Haier 52 L 3 Star Direct-Cool Single Door Refrigerator

I had to return it as the fridge does not come with basic thermocol packing, it just comes with a carton box covering it, strange!.. It means you can imagine how it will be handled in the shipment, I got mine with multiple dents all over it. Haier needs to improve on their packing.. Thanks to Amazon, they accepted the return and processed a refund. Speaking about the functioning of the refrigerator, all these models of 50 liter tiny ones will have only one cooling vent which will be connected to the freezer chamber. That's where it gets the most cold and ice gets formed all around it. There is a small hole on the freezer chamber and the freezer doors won't close tight to allow the cold air to circulate to other parts of the fridge. That's how other parts gets cold.. which means the area near the freezer will be having higher cold than the area away from it like on the inner part of the doors etc which will not be too cold. Also after sometime i noticed everything got frozen.. i kept some water in the fridge and it turned into ice! That's the design problem when you have only one vent for cooling.. However for small purposes, batchelor use etc, this works ok. Frequently you will have to manually defrost the ice formation once a week else water will be dripping everywhere inside the fridge. All these are not problems of Haier model, but these are common to 50L model fridge. What I noticed with this Haier model is that it gets heated up on both sides of the fridge heavily. Eventually that means, these equipments can malfunction and fail with time due to the heat dessipation .. Haier claims 3 star, which is the only major selling point. I decided to buy a more known brand even though it may be lower star, it may last longer.

I ordered this fridge for my Father in Law who is 70 years old. I know small fridges are easy to install, but for old people, to remove tapes and placing the fridge in the right place is a bit difficult. Haier should offer installation service for senior citizens. If Haier cannot offer installation service, Amazon delivery person should be able to assist them. We need to help senior citizens, we too will grow old some day. The fridge arrived on time, but my father in law took 2 days to open it out of the box and connect it.

The best refrigerator for a single person. Didn't break down during voltage fluctuations yet, I don't use a separate stabilizer either. The refrigerator is so compact, and space saving and fulfills its purpose well. Ok so a little bit of editing after one year of use. The area I'm living in is prone to loadsheddings. But the refrigerator hasn't failed me yet in a major way. I haven't used a seperate stabilzer for the voltage fluctuations for the fridge. But recently it water seeps out a lot. That hasn't resulted in the non functioning of the fridge yet. But I'm skeptic as to what will happen after sometime.

Writing this review after 3 months of use. Product works fine, no issues. Side of the fridge heats up a little. Now about space - Surprisingly a lot fits in. Its summer and I could fit in 3 1 ltr bottles. Plus 1 tall mug of milk, 1 big bowl of curd, 1 pickle jar, 3 containers of veggies. Plus in the upper rack below freezer I can keep 2 small bowls, 1 small box and there is space to store a milk packet. In the door can keep 2 bottles, 2 containers. Egg section has few packets and cheese, butter can also fit. This is enough for not just single person but small family of 3 like ours. We prefer to eat fresh and don't keep leftovers in fridge. This little thing is perfect for small apartment.

This is a really good fridge. The delivery was on time. The compressor is silent and cools really fast. It has ample space to keep bottles, ice cream, fruits, etc.

Using for a month now, its much better than what i expected, it cools fast, makes ice perfectly, and is almost noiseless, you can even sleep beside it, loved the quick delivery by amazon delivered within 2 days, just consider size before buying, its only enough for storing water and cold drinks and ocassional leftovers but if you want to store fruits or vegetables it will be a beter option to buy a big Haier.

Maybe it's some booze or a small container of sweets, the fridge is perfect for storing. It occupies less space and makes your home compact. Just remember to keep the top and side of the fridge free, it helps to radiate heat.

Zero defect. Even the way it is packed without having to lift it out of box you can install it, talks of the eye they have for detail. My perception of Haier moved up many notches. Silent genie, and left it on and went out of town for 2 days and it was there perfect as I left it. Quite adequate for two people and you can carry it in your car if relocating.
