Haier Refrigerator

Full Size, Mid-Size, Compact and Beverage Refrigerators - They Make It All

One lesser known brand on the American market is Haier refrigerator. Many of you might not know anything about the Haier line of products. The company was established in the 1920’s in China, though it wasn't until the 1980’s that Haier created a partnership with the Liebherr Group out of Germany.

By the 1990s Haier began to create more than just refrigerators, they made televisions, mobile phones and computers. It was after expanding into these other lines of products that they officially changed their name to Haier (formerly known as Qingdao [Pronounced King-dow]). Currently they are the fourth largest manufacturer of white goods worldwide.

When they brought their products to the United States they chose to focus on two niche appliance markets: compact refrigerators and electric wine refrigerators. In 2000, they added a line of full-sized refrigerators into the mix. Their products can now be found in the Philippines, Pakistan, Jordan, Tunisia, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and South Africa just to name a few.

Six Different Haier Refrigerator Specialties

In creating the Haier refrigerator line the company wanted to address a certain section of the market rather than just compete with other major refrigerator manufacturers like Amana, Whirlpool and Maytag. Thus the creation of their line of specialty refrigerators. They weren't afraid to do more than just a full-sized refrigerator, instead they ventured into compact refrigerators, dorm refrigerators, beverage refrigerators, even specialized keg refrigerators.

1. Haier Full-Size Refrigerators

   Haier didn't want to go full steam ahead into this category with a huge variety of models. They felt they could best compete by creating only a handful of refrigerator models that had the broadest consumer appeal:
