About - Haier HRT02WNC

The Haier HRT02WNC is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, compact refrigerator models like the HRT02WNC are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Refrigerator performance:
Refrigerator performance combines several tests, including the ability to achieve and maintain a desired temperature, temperature uniformity inside, the ability to compensate for variations in ambient temperature, and reserve capacity under extreme conditions.

Energy efficiency:
Energy efficiency is the amount for energy consumed in relation to capacity.

Noise:
Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Comment:
I didn't buy this particular model of compact refrigerator, but I had a bad experience with another Haier compact Model C-RNU1708B for which I paid about the same amount of money. I purchased this NuCool model on January 11, 2009. It stopped cooling in October 2009. I called Haier and they agreed to send me a replacement unit which I received and put into service in November 2009. The replacement unit quit cooling in July 2010. Again I called Haier, and this time they said I was out of the 1-year warranty period, the start time for which they say was the original purchase date (Jan 11,2009). My contention is that they should honor a 1-year warranty on the replacement item, but Haier remained firm that the warranty only applies to the purchase date. I think this is totally wrong and I won't buy another Haier product because of it.
