Features
Haier states that it conducted an intensive consumer research in India to understand the usage patterns of customers owning a side-by-side refrigerator. It was found that consumers not only wish for an SBS refrigerator that has a bigger refrigerator section but also gives the control in their hands to personalise it the way they want. Haier’s SBS series was launched for such a consumer.
The 682 series is the company’s two-door SBS refrigerator. It is said to be India’s first 2-door 100% convertible SBS with the capability to work as a 100% refrigerator unit. With an improved fridge to freezer ratio of 66:34, users will be able to convert and use the 34% of freezer space as a refrigerator, to suit their needs.
The 683 series is a more premium offering that has a 21% convertible section on the top left. This design allows the user to increase the refrigerator space from 62% (dedicated) to 83% with just 17% reserved for the freezer at the bottom left, making it truly customisable to complement the needs of a contemporary Indian home. In case a user requires more freezer space, they would have the flexibility to increase it to 38% using the convertible section. Moreover, it also introduces a Hanging flexi box that is meant for the storage of cosmetics and other utility items of the consumers.
Both models come with the company’s Deo-Fresh technology and Magic Cooling feature to help retain the freshness of the food. They also feature a fresh box, a jumbo ice maker, and additional door pockets that will allow for more vegetables, beverages, and cold food items to be stored fresh for a long time. Select models of the Hair SBS series also come with WiFi connectivity.
