Even more, its reversible door can be set up to open from either the left or the right side, while adjustable legs allow for stabilizing the unit if it sits on an uneven surface. Other highlights include a security lock and key, an adjustable thermostat, manual defrost, a drip tray, and an Energy Star rating for efficiency.

Customer Reviews

GOOD PRODUCT5
I PURCHASED THIS FOR MY OFFICE TO REPLACE ANOTHER BRAND(THAT ONLY LASTED 14 MONTHS). I AM VERY IMPRESSED W/ THE QUALITY AND ROOM OF THE HAIER. HAIER IS A COMPANY IN CHINA, BUT THE PLANT THAT MAKES THIS REFRIGERATOR IS LOCATED IN THE USA. AT THIS PRICE ($150) YOU CAN BEAT IT. BTW, IT HAS A SMALL FREEZER COMPARTMENT WHICH IS NICE FOR KEEPING SMALL ITEM FROZEN. THE DELIVERY WAS FAST AND IT MAKES IT EASIER THAN TRYING TO HAUL ONE HOME FROM THE STORE. I GOT MINE W/ FREE DELIVERY AND NO TAXES THRU AMAZON.

This is an Energy Star Rated Refrigerator4
The refrigerator itself is well built and solid. I found that it had a very tight seal around the door which kept everything inside very cold. I turned off the refrigerator and let it sit overnight. The next day, the bottled water that I kept in the refrigerator was still cold. It uses plastic coated metal racks for shelving except for the glass shelf above the vegetable/fruit crisper. There is a handy door lock at the bottom of the door although the key itself is just a six-sided hex tool but it works.

The door can hold large and tall bottles in the door but not a gallon-sized jug. The shelves and freezer are full width which maximizes the interior of the refridgerator.

Now, the problem that I had with this refrigerator is the mfg packaging which seems nearly non-existent. I had to send back the first refrigerator (great Amazon service on the return) because it had a major dent at the corner. The second refrigerator was sent to me quickly but it also had a minor dent. Since it was mostly cosmetic, I decided to keep it and not worry about sending it back because I needed to use it. There were only 4 small pieces of styrofoam on the bottom four corners of the refrigerator. When the refrigerator arrived, the box was nearly falling apart. It's obvious that this packaging was not designed for shipping.
