Haier HSB02 1.8 Cu.Ft. Compact Refridgerator/Freezer customer reviews:
|
Always-on, noisy compressor, low quality      I needed a space-saving fridge -- also one light enough for me to carry to the 4th floor via stairs -- to store milk for my kid and a beer or two for myself, and picked up this 1.7 cu.ft. refridgerator, made by Haier/LG of South Korea (and assembled in China), at Wal-mart for 62 bucks. I've been unhappy with the purchase.
The biggest problem is the compressor seems to be on always. That's the part that pumps the refrigerant around the fridge to keep air inside cool, and you can tell it's on because it's noisy. The noise is not as high as a normal kitchen refridgerator, but loud enough to keep a normal person unable to sleep at night, which is a bum because I wanted to keep this in my bedroom. Also, the unit is not energy-efficient, as shown on the yellow energy guide on the unit; it costs quite a lot to run.
The fridge itself shows low-quality workmanship. It comes with a one-year labor and parts warranty, but (a big BUT) you must pay for shipping both ways! With gross weight of over 50 lbs., the warranty makes no economic sense to the consumer.
The only "plus" is this is small (which means it won't hold much -- but enough space for my purposes).
I think if you're looking for a compact fridge, it's better to look at a better brand like GE or Sanyo-Fisher. They aren't much more expensive than Haier/LG, but from other reviews they seem to be better built.
Flawed piece of junk      Pros:
-decent interior space
-looks okay
-has a freezer compartment
Cons:
-way too loud for any bedroom (wakes you up at night)
-almost always on
-tendency for freezer contents to suddenly melt at random times (even on power 4, without ever opening the fridge throughout the day)
-water spills due to aforementioned freezer melting
-turning it on for first time will fill room with fumes that cause headache and bloody-nose, and these fumes are present for about 2 days (even if you follow the instructions in manual, and keep unit turned off for 24 hours in upright position before first using it). They could get sued mightily for this, as we almost passed out from these fumes.
-runs super hot - will warm up a room like having two additional computers (about 10 degrees f.)
-makes obnoxious clicking sound when turning on/off throughout the day or night
-always makes annoying "breathing" sounds
-carton-holder in door can't fit a standard-sized carton (seriously, this is ridiculous)
-machinery in back looks like third-rate transformers that uncle Bob duct-taped together
