Haier, the world's biggest manufacturer of refrigerators, has a range of top quality, affordable bar fridges in various sizes to fit most situations and the bonus is, they all offer a push button defrost feature placing them way ahead of anything else on the market.

Haier holds the major share of the American bar fridge market and is the only range in Australia with four models containing reversible doors and push button defrost.

The four models are: HBF55 (55 litres) RRP around $199, HBF80 (80 litres) RRP around $249, HBF130 (130 litres) in white, RRP around $299 or in stainless steel RRP around $349.

HBF55

Perfect for the smallest of areas, the tiny HBF 55 has a small freezer with an ice cube tray, one shelf, a door bin, push button defrost, is CFC free and extremely quiet. An easily reversible door adds practicality.

The net dimensions of this little beauty are 522 x 497 x 501mm. Weighing a mere 21kg, thanks to micro foam technology, this fridge is ideal for the home bar, boat, caravan, office or workshop.

HBF80

Slightly larger at 80 litres and 660 x 500 x 501mm, the HBF80 has all the features of the 55 litre but has two powder-coated wire shelves (the top one being adjustable) and will hold four bottles and five cans in the reversible door. It weighs in at only 28kg.

HBF130S & HBF130

Featuring a very attractive interior door design that has a curved bottom section, these models are like a mini version of a large fridge.

Available in white (HBF130W) or stainless steel (HBF130S), they are packed with features including - two easy to clean adjustable crystal deluxe shelves with a lip to contain spills and to stop bottles from rolling out, a crisper with a tempered glass shelf above it, a full width ice box with cube tray, an interior 15watt light and adjustable feet. Two litre bottles can be held in the bottom door bin, with a can storage above that and an egg pocket area on top. The stainless steel version has a grey cabinet and a stylish metal-finished door. The HBF130 measures 865 x 500 x 550mm.

Available at Retravision, Haier offers a wide range of bar fridges that carry a two year warranty with a generous five year warranty on the compressor.

All of these fridges have magnetically sealed, self-closing doors, are environmentally friendly (CFC free), have adjustable feet and a low power consumption.
