Haier refrigerator - manufactured by a Chinese company. If you have a sharply negative attitude to Asian products, do not rush to leave the page. We will convince you that the Hyer equipment is worthy of your choice, especially since it is also produced at Russian plants. Advantages, lineup and pricing policy - we will consider all this below.
About company
The company was founded in the mid-90s, to date, the equipment is sold in more than 160 countries. It takes pride of place among hundreds of the most influential brands in the world.
As we said above, China is not the only country producing equipment for this brand. Not so long ago, a 100,000th Russian-made Haier refrigerator came off the assembly line. The company's plant is located in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny.
Next year, the project management plans to increase the plant's production capacity to 500,000 units per year. The main products are refrigerators for home and household with the No Frost function. They are mainly sold in the Russian Federation, but are also exported to the CIS countries and the European Union.
Haier Refrigerator Benefits
Carrying out research and finding out the opinion of consumers, the company's specialists found out the specifics of using refrigerators in Russia. For example, it is a habit to store food in bulky and bulky dishes - pots, pans, stewpan, baking trays, etc. With this in mind, Haier designed and created three-chamber models with impressive volume and high energy efficiency.
Another habit of Russian consumers - to store different products separately - prompted engineers to create devices with manual configuration of departments for different operating modes. These include a freshness zone and a “zero” zone, as well as a regime for compartments for vegetables and fruits.
Features:
- By setting the temperature in the “zero” zone correctly, you can maintain absolute freshness of fish and meat products for some time.
- Setting the temperature zone for fruits and vegetables also allows you to use a separator to rationally distribute products.
Other features
Design features and additional functionality directly depend on the type of refrigerator. All Hyer refrigerators can be divided into two categories: two-door (2D basic and 2D Combi) and 3D - three-door variants.
2D Combi models include a huge list of modern features and technologies:
- Total No Frost - a system that prevents ice or frost from forming on the walls of the chambers. Such a microclimate is supported by fans, which provide constant circulation of chilled air flows through the compartments. Total literally translates to “as a whole” and in this case means “full Know Frost”. The technology works in both cameras.
- Dynamic cooling Multi flow allows you to precisely adjust the temperature in the main department to extend the freshness of the products. Air flows reach them from all sides.
- Touch control with a display on the door of the case, you can not only set and adjust the temperature, but with one touch launch the options: "Supercooling", "Super-freeze", "Vacation", enable child lock.
- 21 liter freshness adjustable zone with a temperature range from -2 to +3 degrees.

- Innovative antibacterial module T.Abt. The principle of its work is based on tourmaline. This is a crystal that can generate a charge of electricity during cooling or heating. In this case, the charge is negative at one end of the crystal and positive at the other. Tourmaline promotes ionization of air in the chamber - this kills most pathogenic bacteria, fungal and mold spores, unpleasant odors.
- Ergonomic interior space. Folding shelves are perfectly adapted to accommodate large dishes, and a folding stand holds up to 5 bottles. The shelves are made of tempered glass, so they can easily withstand weight up to 25 kg. All shelves are edged - this is done not only for reasons of aesthetics, but also so that accidentally spilled water or milk does not spill onto other shelves.
- The door can be easily opened 90 degreesto get a vegetable container. Why is this convenient? Because in most models of other manufacturers there is no such balcony, so you have to open the door too much to remove the drawer. This is especially inconvenient in a small kitchen. With a door that opens 90 degrees, such problems will not arise!
- The most silent and reliable compressor motors with 12 year warranty.
In the models from the Combi 2D series, high-quality thermal insulation, technological assembly with control of each stage, high energy efficiency, etc. All of the above was reflected in the energy class of equipment, which is not lower than A +.
More budget series 2D Basic from a complete set differs in energy efficiency (class A). In such refrigerators there is no antibacterial technology, there is no "Fresh Zone" and there is no folding shelf for bottles.
3D series
Special design. The case provides three doors at once, hence the name of the series - 3D. At the top is the main compartment, at the bottom are two independent freezers. Freezers have drawers. This is a fairly successful design for quick and convenient loading and unloading of products. Separate storage of vegetables and fruits, fish and meat does not allow odors to mix - no more strawberries with the smell of fish.
The multi-door case looks unique - no other manufacturer has ventured to release equipment in a similar design. Plus, the line has a wide color range. Telescopic rails allow drawers to be pulled out without difficulty even when fully loaded. They are also easy to care for and clean.
The remaining functions, options and technologies are identical to the models from the 2D combi series - there is a full No Frost, Multi Flow, touch panel, zero zone, energy efficiency A +, etc.
Additionally
Foam condenser
Foamed condenser is one of the advantages of refrigerators from the 2D and 3D series produced in the territory of the Russian Federation. It is a heat exchanger located on the side of the rear wall of the housing. The condenser is responsible for the transfer of heat from the products to the environment.
The design of the foam type is not only visually more pleasant, but also eliminates the noise effect during compressor start-up (non-foam condensers can rattle from vibration). And also during the movement of the refrigerator, there is no risk of injury due to sharp protrusions of the part.
Environmental friendliness
This principle is implemented at the stage of production of equipment. The classic painting of the case involves technology that does not pollute the water.
Durable materials
The production uses polystyrene with impact-resistant properties, which is highly resistant to external influences, accumulation of dirt and cracking during contact with oils. This material is different from that used by most manufacturers (standard polystyrene, etc.).
Less noise, more elegance
Such qualities are given to the refrigerator by the metal rear wall, which hides all the details and protects the ears of users from noise when starting the engine.
Pascal
This is not a computer programming language at all, but a foaming technology. Haier was the first to use it in the Russian Federation. The essence of the technology is the uniform distribution of foam in order to minimize thermal conductivity.
Strict control
Functional tests pass absolutely all refrigerators. The check consists in connecting the equipment to the network and its operation for 20-60 minutes (only 2 stages at the factory). The third check is selective - it is carried out directly at the warehouse.
Gentle packaging
At Haier factories, they pack automatically rather than manually. In addition, the equipment is not wrapped in film so that the equipment is protected from damage during transportation. Only cardboard packaging guarantees reliability.

Very large and roomy with comfortable shelves. Almost no noise, installation under the wall is available. The temperature setting is intuitive, nothing complicated. Before that I thought which one is better:LG Bosch Samsung or Haier, but chose the latter. Maybe the build quality of German and Korean equipment is slightly better, but Hyer wins in terms of cost. Moreover, in the "Eldzhi" and "Samsung" when you open the door there is a strong smell of plastic, but this one does not smell at all. There are cons: heating of the side walls (there are capacitors in them) and few rails for adjusting the door shelves. The rest is super, I put a solid four.
Oleg, Vyksa
Quiet inverter motor. Great build! If it were cheaper, it would be the best of its kind. But even at this price, this is the coolest thing I have found. There is a 3-year warranty on the device itself, and 12 years on the compressor. It smells nothing inside.

Andrew, Syzran
I have long wanted a built-in refrigerator for myself - as soon as I found out how much the Hyers cost, I immediately picked up this model. It freezes qualitatively, there is no frost and ice. In terms of spaciousness, of course, it is modest, but the functionality is excellent, I like everything.
Alina, Moscow
I bought it because it’s beautiful and roomy. I do not need a big freezer, so it’s enough. The instructions clearly understand how to set the temperature - I did not suffer for a long time. A year later, a heart-rending squeak came from the control panel, and the refrigerator turned off. Have to go to the service. Therefore, to say for sure whether it is worth buying Haier, I will not say.
Faults and repairs of Haier refrigerators
Haier brand is not so widespread, so not every workshop can provide professional repair.
Masters of service centers note that there are models that can not be repaired, which is discussed by the assembly of equipment. This means that some parts require a complete replacement. Fortunately, there are few such breakdowns, and the rest are eliminated in the same way as in the technology of other brands.
Typical breakdowns of Haier refrigerators are:
- Electronics, which is equipped with most models, is sensitive to frequent changes in voltage. Also, electronic circuits are vulnerable to non-compliance with the rules of use.
Important! Opening the door too much can break the wire harness that connects the display to the electronic circuit board.
- Damage associated with the motor-compressor: the starting relay does not work, the compressor is broken, etc.
- Burnout of control board, switches and other microcircuits.
Also, users complain of such and malfunctions:
- the freezer does not freeze;
- the refrigerator does not work;
- side walls are heated (if the walls are not heated very much, this is not a breakdown);
- the motor is too hot;
- the technique is noisy;
- the red Alarm lamp is constantly on;
- the refrigerator completely stopped cooling, etc.
To find out why the appliance does not freeze, to diagnose and repair it, it is worth contacting an authorized service center for warranty or a trusted workshop after the warranty card expires.
