What’s Included:
The Haier HBQW5518DK Built-In 70/30 Fridge Freezer combines 178 litres of refrigerated storage with a 73-litre freezer below. It sits behind furniture doors from your own kitchen range, providing a clean integrated appearance alongside intelligent food-preservation technology.
Measuring 1773 x 540 x 550mm, the appliance features Total No Frost, Haier Air Surround and a dedicated Humidity Zone. It carries a D energy rating, consumes approximately 183kWh per year and operates at an exceptionally quiet 33dB.
251-Litre Total Capacity
The appliance provides 251 litres of usable storage. Its 70/30 configuration gives priority to fresh groceries while retaining practical freezer capacity for ingredients, prepared meals and batch cooking.
178-Litre Refrigerator
The refrigerator includes three safety-glass shelves, door storage and a dedicated Humidity Zone drawer. Its spacious layout keeps drinks, dairy products, produce and prepared meals organised and easy to reach.
73-Litre Freezer
The lower freezer provides 73 litres of drawer-based storage. Total No Frost technology helps keep the drawers accessible and prevents food packaging from becoming covered with ice.
Humidity Zone
Haier’s Humidity Zone uses a plant-fibre membrane to maintain moisture at approximately 90%. This controlled environment helps reduce moisture loss while still allowing cool air to circulate around the produce.
Haier states that suitable fruit and vegetables can remain fresh for up to twice as long compared with conventional refrigerator storage. Results will vary according to the food, its condition when stored and the selected appliance settings.
Air Surround Technology
Air Surround distributes chilled air through lateral outlets around the refrigerator compartment. This surrounds the food with a gentler and more even airflow instead of directing a strong stream of cold air onto it.
The system helps limit drying and weight loss. In independent comparative testing, Haier reports that it maintained up to 99% of food’s taste, consistency and juiciness after seven days. Results may vary according to food type, loading arrangement and operating conditions.
Total No Frost
Total No Frost circulates dry, chilled air through the appliance to prevent frost and ice from accumulating. This removes the need for routine manual freezer defrosting while helping maintain consistent storage conditions.
Haier also reports that Total No Frost reduced the formation of mould and bacteria by up to 94% in independent testing against one of its static-cooling refrigerators. Actual performance will depend on appliance use and storage conditions.
D Energy Rating
The fridge freezer carries a D energy rating and consumes approximately 183kWh per year. Haier states that a D-rated refrigerator can use up to 20% less energy than an equivalent E-rated model under the same energy-labelling system.
Actual electricity consumption will depend on the room temperature, selected settings, loading arrangement and frequency of door opening.
Exceptionally Quiet Operation
At only 33dB, the appliance produces very little background sound. This makes it particularly suitable for open-plan kitchens and homes where living space is close to the appliance.
hOn App Connectivity
Wi-Fi connects the fridge freezer to Haier’s hOn app. The app provides food-storage guidance, freshness tips and access to supported connected functions from a compatible smartphone.
Reversible Doors
The appliance is supplied right-hand hinged, but the doors can be reversed during installation. This allows the fridge freezer to suit different cabinetry positions and kitchen layouts.
Sliding-Hinge Installation
Sliding hinges connect the appliance doors to separate kitchen furniture panels. Opening a cabinet door moves the corresponding fridge or freezer door while preserving the coordinated appearance of the kitchen.
LED Interior Lighting
Efficient LED lighting illuminates the refrigerator compartment clearly while producing minimal heat. Its compact design also leaves more internal space available for food.
