Haier refrigerator

The Haier HRB15N3BGS is part of the Refrigerators test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators models like the HRB15N3BGS are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Thermostat control This assesses the ability of the refrigerator's thermostat to 1) achieve the desired initial set temperatures following manufacturer's recommendations 2) achieve optimum temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer sections simultaneously and 3) keep internal temperatures constant despite large changes in room temperature. Temperature uniformity This performance test is based on how well a model minimizes warm and cold spots within its fresh food and freezer sections. Energy efficiency This reflects electricity consumption per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two models with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Half shelves, typically found on top-freezer or bottom-freezer models, can be set at the same height to provide a full-width shelf or can be set to different heights to improve storing flexibility. Split shelves, found on some side-by-sides, allow one side either to fold under the back half, fold up and out of the way, or move right to left. This leaves extra headroom for tall items.
