Haier has picked up fresh recognition in the ProductReview Annual Awards 2026, with its Tempo Series wall-mounted air conditioners and Monoblock heat pump water heaters both named category winners. For the water heating range, the result marks a second year in a row of success across multiple categories, highlighting sustained approval from Australian consumers.
On ProductReview.com.au, the Tempo Series air conditioners currently hold an average rating of five stars, while the Monoblock heat pump water heaters sit close behind with a 4.9-star rating. Both products have achieved a 100 per cent positivity score, indicating that nearly all verified reviewers expressed a favourable overall experience.
Feedback from customers points to practical benefits rather than novelty features. Owners of the Tempo Series frequently mention strong cooling performance combined with low operating noise, making the units suitable for bedrooms and living areas. Reviewers have also highlighted the SmartHQ app, which allows remote control and scheduling, as a useful addition rather than a gimmick.
For the Monoblock heat pump water heaters, energy efficiency stands out as a key reason for positive reviews. Users report noticeable reductions in running costs, particularly when the systems are paired with rooftop solar. Compatibility with smart home setups and consistent hot water delivery are also commonly mentioned, along with reliability over extended periods of use.
The awards are based on customer feedback rather than manufacturer submissions. This year, ProductReview.com.au assessed more than 61,000 eligible products and services, with 550 ultimately named as category winners. Judging was carried out independently by the platform’s data and content team, using verified reviews and performance metrics.
Nicole Stock, general manager of marketing at Fisher and Paykel Home Solutions, said the recognition reflects an ongoing focus on developing products that meet the expectations of households in Australia and New Zealand. While awards do not replace long-term performance, repeat wins suggest Haier’s recent appliances are resonating with consumers who value efficiency, ease of use and dependable operation.
