Product Information

For appliances used in a commercial environment such as offices, shops, restaurants, or any small business, the warranty is limited to six months* Activating the aftersales service (excluding microwave ovens, handheld devices and small televisions) The four separate door openings mean you can access each individual compartment at one time for easy access and by only opening one compartment at a time you are reducing the amount of heat loss helping you save energy by up to 60%. We are delighted to offer our 2-man delivery team to bring any of our products directly to your home. We understand that a smooth delivery experience is crucial, so here are some important details about our service: The Haier CUBE HTF-452DM7’s energy label and brochure claim a whisper-quiet 40dB operational noise. Only the best models get to be this library-quiet, although we’ve tested a couple that dip even lower. With the mercury tipping 25 oC throughout the daytime when we tested this large-capacity Haier fridge freezer, it didn’t get any easy two-week test. Generally, we keep cooling appliances in a chamber at an ambient air temperature of 19 oC to ensure a level playing field. Yet despite the uncharacteristically warm weather, the Cube turned in some very good test results with only some minor caveats.

Advice to the customer on how to operate the appliance (instructions are found in the user manual supplied). The Haier HTF-456DM6 / HTF-456DN6 cube series boasts an impressive 456 litre capacity, making it a perfect choice for large family kitchens and open-plan living spaces with its low noise operation and unique four door design it will create a stunning focal point in your home. The swing of temperature throughout the fridge’s cooling cycle was quite high, though, especially towards the top of the fridge. The upper and middle shelves swung between 1 oC and 6 oC every hour or so of the cycle. The lower shelves were more stable, showing just +/-1 oC either side of their 4 oC average.The sleek touch control panel is clear-gloss over stainless with crisp-white displays. The displays turn off a couple of seconds after the last press. The Cube series runs dual evaporators, separating the cooling systems for the fridge and freezer. This ensures independent controls and no odours moving between the two compartments.

It’s very unusual to see an A++ rating on large multi-door fridge freezers, but the Haier Cube more than lived up to this top-spec energy billing. Over the 14 days of the test it used just over 10kWh of electricity, which was – frankly – amazing given the ridiculously hot daytime weather we were having at the time. Obviously, storing non bacteria-critical foods (ice, frozen veg and so on) in the top trays would avoid the potential issue in the event of a power outage, so this certainly isn’t a deal breaker. However, unfortunately, this one test alone lets down what was otherwise an excellent set of technical results for the Cube. If you engage the Power Freeze mode, when you’ve filled the freezer with fresh produce for example, the noise level only reaches that still very respectable 40dB stated on the energy label. Since even premium fridge freezers aspire to 40dB as their standard running noise, you can see just how quiet this Haier is. Amazing. The Haier HTF-456DM6 is a freestanding refrigerator with a French door design. It features LED lamps for efficient and long-lasting lighting. The refrigerator has a built-in display and a touch control interface, allowing for easy operation and monitoring of its functions. It uses R600a as the refrigerating medium and is equipped with a single compressor. The sleek integrated handles are good as they will not protrude into your kitchen space and the relatively low noise level of 40dba is helpful if you live in an open plan environment.

To air on the side of caution then, and not wanting your freezer air temperature to go above zero during an outage, the result would only really give this Haier a power outage safety limit of about four hours for produce on the top shelf. The lower drawers would be nearly three times that time limit. The freezer performance was exemplary in all four proper drawers. The temperature averaged about 1 oC higher than set, so we reset the thermostat to -19 oC to counter the warm weather. Set like this, all four drawers averaged exactly -18 oC, with variation of only a degree or two throughout the compressor cycle.

Please note that the delivery and collection of large appliances and TVs are limited to ground-level access only. For appliances scheduled for recycling collection, we kindly request that they are emptied and placed outside the property as a single unit. Please be aware that we are unable to collect appliances in multiple parts. Both of the lower storage bins glide out on rollers and have dedicated features. The left-hand bin is Haier’s Humidity Zone storage drawer. This is a high-humidity zone (over 80% humidity) to better preserve fruits and vegetables. Haier claims the shelf life of fresh foods can be extended between three to seven days using this compartment. V12 Finance and AppToPay is a trading name of Secure Trust Bank PLC, Yorke House, Arleston Way, Solihull, B90 4LH.In terms of capacity, the fridge section of the Haier HTF-456DM6 offers a net capacity of 316 liters, providing ample storage space for groceries and beverages. Faults including – the appliance installation not complying with that stated in the user manual – inadequate ventilation resulting in additional power consumption - external factors including weather and environmental conditions, irregular electrical power supply, under or over voltages. (Please refer to the user manual for installation and maintenance of your appliance.). Overall, the Haier Cube HTF-452DM7 is a stylish, high-performance appliance with a couple of minor caveats. Verdict You have the option to choose either the SMART or manual mode. SMART automatically adjusts the temperatures according to the ambient temperature of the room and the temperature change in the appliance, while manual allows you to customise settings according to the food you have stored.

There are adjustable shelves giving you the flexibility to store larger items, so you aren't restricted to where you can store your produce. This model benefits from multi air flow technology in the refrigerator which helps to preserve the freshness of your food and the anti-bacterial treatment helps prevent bacteria growth, protecting your food and health of your family. Providing the appliance is within the manufacturer’s warranty period the service is entirely free if the appliance is found to be faulty. If the appliance is not faulty, the costs of labour, collection at the customer’s home and possible appliance transport costs will be charged to the customer by Haier Appliances UK. That in itself isn’t a huge issue in the freezer, unless the power fails when the area is at its warmest. Our power-fail test started with the top freezer trays at their -16 oC average and saw them rise by 10 oC over three hours of power outage. Again, 10 oC of rise isn’t bad in itself, but in this case it meant the tray reached -6 oC. If it had been at -12 oC to start with then it would have topped out just below freezing at -2 oC.Both freezer compartments are identical and regulated by a single temperature control on the main panel. Divided into three areas, you get deep pull-out bins and an open pull-out tray either side. A twist and store ice-cube maker can be removed if you’re really tight for freezer space.
