Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Haier HNSE05BB 4-3/5-Cubic-Foot Compact Refrigerator/Freezer, Black/Stainless
Customer Review: Second Time Around
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this refrigerator for my office. It is to be shared by a group of 5 people, so I wanted one that was a little bigger than the typical compacts. I paid for overnight deliverly as others had suggested. The unit arrived in a box that had been previously opened. I was a bit worried when I removed the item from the box. It had some large dents on the side, but was otherwise ok. Once I plugged it in, I realized there were bigger issues. The motor was very loud and was cycling constantly. It would run for seven minutes and then would be off for four minutes, then on for seven, off for four - yes I actually timed it. Everytime the unit came on it startled me. At first I thought that once the motor broke in, that it would become quiet. That did not happen. After having the unit for 24 hours and spilling a cup of coffee on my desk from my rattled nerves, I called Amazon for a replacement unit.
The new refrigerator arrived the next day. Once again, it arrived in a box that had previously been opened. The replacement had a large dent on the door, but otherwise works great. It is so quiet. I barely notice it when the motor is running. What a difference! I actually check it on occasion to make sure that it is working because I don't notice it at all. I switched doors with the first refrigerator and now I have a unit that has no significant dents and it doesn't interrupt my work environment. The actual refrigerator is nice looking and has a lot of interior space. After the experience with the first one, I am a bit concerned about the reliability, but for now, I am satisfied.
Customer Review: Shipping Problems
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this item yesterday, and it arrived only 24 hours later. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged to the point that it is unusable. A panel on the bottom is bent so that the fridge cannot sit squarely on the ground, and there are dents on the sides and corners. To be honest, I'm amazed it's not worse, as it was packed in only a plastic bag and the box, no additional packing materials.
Both the size and the price are good, so I'm hoping that the replacement item that is being shipped to me will work out.
Customer Review: Stopped Working in Less than a Year
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for the office in April of 2008; it stopped working about three weeks ago. I am waiting to hear back from Amazon... Not sure if there's any kind of warranty, but it stopped working after a little over ten months of use.Customer Review: product arrives broken
Summary: 1 Stars
The refrigerator arrived in a broken box. Even the delivery driver was surprised about the condition. Product was refused at delivery. I did report issue to customer service at Amazon. I did not order another unit. Other reviews did indicate that the product was arriving damaged.Customer Review: seems to be a recurring theme
Summary: 2 Stars
When it arrived, the box was open and torn. As soon as we opened the box the rest of the way, the top of the fridge was very obviously dented in, we're talkin a good inch and a half dented. But since it's for our bar area we decided to keep it. It has a lot of space and gets cool quickly, but does make a bit of noise. I probably wouldn't buy from this company again though. For it to be that damaged when it arrived doesn't bode well for durability.
