From the LED display you can set the temperature of the fridge and freezer as well as setting different options, such as fast chill and fast freeze, which will cool your food down rapidly, so they better retain their nutrients and taste. There is also a Holiday mode where you can turn off the fridge but keep the freezer running. LED lighting is a nice addition in both freezer compartments. It’s at the very top of the compartment and so illuminates the top trays well; it’s forward enough to illuminate the contents of the bin when they’re pulled open too. Haier Cube HTF-452DM7 – How much can you fit in?

Overall, the Haier Cube HTF-452DM7 is a stylish, high-performance appliance with a couple of minor caveats. Verdict 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. There are adjustable shelves giving you the flexibility to store larger items, so you aren't restricted to where you can store your produce.Part of Haier’s Cube series of super-capacious fridge freezers, the HFT-452DM7 is a compact four-door model with a full-width fridge at the top and two separate freezer compartments at the bottom. It’s a standard 190cm tall but, unlike many US-style side by side models, it’s relatively compact at just 84cm wide and 66cm deep. Both freezer compartments are identical and regulated by a single temperature control on the main panel. Divided into three areas, you get deep pull-out bins and an open pull-out tray either side. A twist and store ice-cube maker can be removed if you’re really tight for freezer space. Both of the lower storage bins glide out on rollers and have dedicated features. The left-hand bin is Haier’s Humidity Zone storage drawer. This is a high-humidity zone (over 80% humidity) to better preserve fruits and vegetables. Haier claims the shelf life of fresh foods can be extended between three to seven days using this compartment. The My Zone compartment lets you switch the temperature between a fridge or a freezer, great if you have either a large amount of fresh or frozen food to store. The LED lighting is situated at the top of the product and will ensure a nice bright interior Haier’s Cube HTF-452DM7 offers a sumptuous stainless steel finish with sophisticated controls on the outside and cavernous, quiet and highly efficient cooling on the inside. With A++ energy efficiency, running costs are very low for the huge cooling capacity. The full-width fridge offers Tardis-like space considering the appliance’s compact 84cm width.

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.

Innovative technology for effortless maintenance

To air on the side of caution then, and not wanting your freezer air temperature to go above zero during an outage, the result would only really give this Haier a power outage safety limit of about four hours for produce on the top shelf. The lower drawers would be nearly three times that time limit.

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 top space in both freezers is a slide-out tray with a low front; it’s about half the depth of the other two drawers. This didn’t seem very necessary at first, but the more we used the freezer, the more this became a handy storage area for frequently accessed items. In our case that was ice cubes, frozen fruit for smoothies and wine chiller sleeves.
