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. The right-hand drawer is Haier’s temperature control MyZone compartment. This bin has three temperature options between 0 oC and 5 oC. The lower end of that is ideal for meat and fish, slightly higher for vegetables, and around the same temperature as the main fridge compartment for everything else. Chances are you probably know all there is to know about Currys, but if you don’t then here’s a little more detail about them.

As usual, we loaded up the Haier with 0.5kg of produce per 10 litres of fridge space, and 1kg of frozen food per 10 litres of freezer space. The latter included 2 litres of room temperature water to simulate fresh-to-frozen cooling. We set the thermostat to 4 oC for the fridge and -18 oC for the freezer. Temperature probes were placed on all shelves and drawers, and in the middle of the water sample. Temperature readings were then logged every minute. Each day, the Haier’s doors were opened five or six times for around 20 seconds each time. 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.

One notable feature of the Haier HTF-456DM6 is the fresh zone compartment, designed to preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables for longer periods. This compartment maintains an optimal humidity level, keeping produce crisp and flavorful. It also comes totally frost free, the improved air flow in the refrigerator and freezer prevents ice building up meaning you no longer have to worry about manually defrosting.V12 Finance and AppToPay is a trading name of Secure Trust Bank PLC, Yorke House, Arleston Way, Solihull, B90 4LH. The Haier engineer will assess the need for repair and take appropriate actions and implement the appropriate repair. If the appliance cannot be repair for whatever reason, the engineer will advise Haier Appliances UK accordingly and Haier Appliances UK will decide on the next course of action. If an exchange is agreed by Haier Appliances UK the customer will be issued a Return Merchandising Authorisation number (RMA), the customer should advise their Retailer of this number to activate the exchange. 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.

The let-down in an otherwise great set of freezer tests was the open top tray in both freezers. Being nearest to the air circulation vents, open and at the top of the freezer compartment ensured they averaged only -16 oC (with the freezer set to -19 oC, remember). They also exhibited a fairly wild swing throughout the compressor cycle, between -18 oC and -13 oC every hour or so. 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. 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. 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. 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 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.
