I'm soon moving into a new place and have been on the hunt for a decent sized bottom mount fridge suitable for 1-2 people. I've had my eye on the LG GB-450UPLX ($1,127 @TGG after cash back, not the cheapest, but the 4.5 star energy efficiency is a big selling point). Anywho, found this Haier 450L on the front page of the latest The Good Guys catalogue which I may go for instead - $378 is a big gap for a similar fridge, albeit with a 0.5 star less energy rating.

Would love to hear from owners of both and any experiences with Haier when it comes to customer service and warranty.

Details of the Haier:

Colour/Finish: Silver
Capacity: 450 Litre
Fridge/Freezer Capacity: 327 Litre Fridge, 123 Litre Freezer
Energy Rating: 4 Star
Door Hinge: Reversible
Width (mm): 700
Height (mm): 1725
Depth (mm): 676
Warranty: 2 year manufacturer

Google lists comparison prices as follows:

$898.00 Retravision
$845.00 Stax Appliances
$898.00 Betta
$838.00 Billy Guyatts

  I'd choose the LG over Haier any day.

  With an Ebay coupon you can get the LG cheaper.

    Unfortunately as I have to buy 1000 things at once my white goods will be financed, so Ebay isn't an option this time around. The LG does look like an amazing fridge with a good parts warranty.

    F&P is owned by haier

    These fridges are produced by same factory but you obviously pay a premium for the fisher and Paykel badge

      That doesn't always mean much.
      Westinghouse is owned by Electrolux, but Electrolux products are often "premium" while Westinghouse is not.
      I think the quality is often determined by which parts they use, and how much QA and support if being applied.

  for fridge, it's not worth paying for the stars

  you may save $50pa on electricity but paid a premium of $500 over same sized fridge with 2 less stars.

    I have the exact same one

    Paid $700 from appliances online

    Very quiet fridge and energy efficient

    The stars mean nothing much at all

    The only thing worth looking at is the actual energy consumption
