    Is it a good product? I have used Hisense before and they are alright . Please share if anyone used this

      I have a different model Hisense fridge and it's total rubbish. With warranty service call outs for niggling things, loud operation, poor quality plastics and an already defective temperature gauge (out of warranty), I doubt it'll last more than a few years more. It's 3 years old now.
      Just my opinion, others may love them.

        I have a Hisense fridge and I hate it. Very loud and annoying fridge.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/10/2022 - 04:26

      I found Hisense to be unreliable, just as unreliable as my Samsung.

      Got a Mitsubishi for better quality and dependability -but at a significant premium up front, it costs less to run because it's more efficient and hasn't required any maintenance so I'd say it's no more expensive long term.

        The repair guy who came to fix my Hisense said Mitsubishi is the brand he would recommend.

      I have an expensive Samsung SRF679SWLS fridge and it gave me nothing but troubles. Just after the factory warranty is over, it had a major electrical issue. Started tripping the line. I had to spend lot of time with customer service to get it fixed under warranty. it took them couple of weeks to resolve the issue. In the mean time I bought a cheap $400 hisense second fridge and its working just fine.

      A year later Samsungs's ice maker stopped working and have to empty out the ice periodically as work around.

      Then it started making a fan noise . It stops when fridge door is opened then comes back once door is closed.

      Now samsung fridge's defroster stopped working and ice is all over.

      So IMO stay away from Samsung. Hisense should be fine.

      I have a freezer of Hisense. Has been perfect since day dot no issues. Had for years.

      Haven't used something more complex/used than a fridge though from Hisense.

      • DeepHorizon on 07/10/2022 - 23:26

        I had a side-by-side that was really good.
        Only got rid of it because it wouldn't fit when I moved. Ended up buying another Hisense, this time an inverter model.
        I would 100% recommend an inverter fridge, so quiet. Much more so than the side-by-side.

    I have owned this. Came damaged on arrival. Got it replaced which was also damaged on arrival. Quality control seems extremely poor from Hisense. Can’t see this lasting much longer than the warranty period. I’m intrigued to know how people have gone claiming for issues after the warranty using ACL.

      It has an ice tray bucket thing. Not a slide in-built one like in our current westinghouse.

  • GHKC on 07/10/2022 - 23:40

    Not the same model, but have a side by side Hisense fridge purchased 3.5 years ago originally as it was much cheaper than the other side by sides/French doors that were available at the time (>40% cheaper).
    It looks good, but feels cheap, seams etc not particular great. And over time it makes odd loud noises and thought it was going to die within the 3 yr warranty period but still kicking along.
    It uses a lot of energy too (only 1.5 star rated), so the argument is that a more efficient fridge would be the same cost-wise in the long run. Not sure I would get another hisense fridge unless they improve the build qualities.

  • Jiva on 07/10/2022 - 23:53
    +2

    I just bought this fridge last week. It's really quiet due to the inverter technology but the build quality is shit. I can see small bumps (dents) in the light reflection on front. Even if you'll touch bit hard, it's plastic will bend and you'll see those bumps.

    • mafim on 08/10/2022 - 00:07

      I have the exactly same model for just over one year and it's extreme loud when working. other than that was all good. maybe just bad luck?

      • fruxo on 08/10/2022 - 00:16

        No it's crazy sensitive. Are you sure you have the same one? We just had our first one replaced (not due to cosmetic reasons - but it did have many imperfections). The new one came with dents as well. I didn't even bother complaining as it's clear that it will always have dents due to the flimsy material. Which to be fair, I had also read about before purchase.

        That said, it seems like a good price. Certainly nothing else in this price range with a fourth compartment that can be both fridge and freezer.

        • mafim on 08/10/2022 - 00:35

          Exactly same model, but it's not a big concern for me for the surface, as we put a lot of photos on it. How about the noise of yours? Mine is the loudest one that I have ever used. Thought all of this model are loud but it may just mine on the loud side.

              @Jiva: Thanks for the info. Mine was loud from the first time it working, so maybe just me that pick a loud one. Considering contact the warranty to see if they can help.

      I have owned 2 Samsung fridges both literally died within a few months of warranty running out. Have an LG now but no more confident in it. I think its a total crap shoot lottery with most the brands, some models might be a bit better/worse so do what you can to weed out the ones with bad wraps…. but brand reputation/reliability is all but dead in my experience across electronics and white goods.

      • funnysht on 11/10/2022 - 21:38

        better to buy a cheap one and replace it every 3 years …not good for the environment i guess

  • Z M on 08/10/2022 - 02:33

    I had a same model from last month was $1400. It’s not too bad actually! Like the capacity its great for family. And one of the freezer can set different temperature. It’s very quiet don’t have any weird sound. The only disadvantage I think its the door can not automatically close, it have to push to close, but I think for this price and 609L size its really worth it!

      decent customer service? Their customer service is horrendous. They don't even have an Aus based call center. They have outsourced it to a call center in the Philippines who are of pretty much of no help due to their disconnect with the samsung head office in sydney who by the way are not contactable by any means. They don't even reply to your emails.

    • bobz79 on 08/10/2022 - 12:25

      Samsung is actually good for phones only. LG makes much better home appliances (Fridge, Washing Machine, Microwave etc). For TV Sony!

      • Ibz on 08/10/2022 - 13:17

        My experience has been very poor with trying to get LG to come out and fix a fridge. My comment was anectodal for Samsung too. If you make a fuss but act polite, they generally fix your fridge for free if it isn't too far outta warranty

        But broader reviews certainly indicate Mitsubishi is great :)

        I guess if someone purchases the choice article and gives Ozb a summary, that would be the best 'scientific' result. https://www.choice.com.au/home-and-living/kitchen/fridges/re…

          Just put a fridge drink dispenser inside your fridge. Yes you do have to keep filling it up. I avoid the inbuilt water dispenser cos it takes effort to clean and is prone to failure (just read productreviews). It also means you have flexibility for how you use the space which the inbuilt water dispenser was originally occupying

    • Herbse on 08/10/2022 - 09:51

      Yea if people are constantly on top of filling the jug up or you don't mind it being lukewarm when it's just been topped up.

      For me, after having a fridge with cold water and ice crusher/dispenser . It will be hard for me to go back

    • Cinnamon Crunch on 08/10/2022 - 12:31
      +1

      I dont have the plumbing to allow for one and depending on the system, you may need to manually fill the tank in the door, which could mean you lose 1 or 2 shelves to have it there, so would rather a jug that i choose the size of, on a shelf with the leftover space.

    • PleasureMachine on 10/10/2022 - 10:13

      Another fail point and potential leaks. Filter maintenance. Cost to run water line to fridge.

      We just fill bottles and jugs and have in fridge. Works for us. If we forget, just pop some ice into cup.

    I own the HRCD512BW which is similar but with a (non-plumbed) water dispenser.. and I love it! It performs well.. definitely quieter & I feel keeps food fresher longer than my my previous Hitachi upside-down inverter fridge & Samsung old-skool non-inverter before that. Doors have been slammed by kid etc but it’s still sturdy and creak-free. I recommend it.

  • Jason88 on 08/10/2022 - 07:51

    We have this Fridge and love it. Had it for about 1 year now.

    Is the finish the same as a Samsung and LG? Hell no, but those French door fridges at this size are double (and even triple) the price.

    We got ours through good guys commercial and at the time it was around this price. At this price point, you can’t beat it.

  • Bacha on 08/10/2022 - 07:59

    I got same model a year ago. There was a problem in the beginning that one of door sensor was loose so it start beeping even door closed. Rang hisense and in couple of days technician came and fixed the sensor under 5 minutes. He said the delivery guys supposed to check all the sensors before leaving.
    After that it's been working flawless. I don't know others but my fridge is quite.
