Hisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home entertainment, has today launched in the New Zealand market, with a competitive range of TVs, refrigeration, and laundry products available to Kiwi customers. 

 

Established in 1969, Hisense has seen success around the world, including Australia, where it has become one of the leading brands for innovation across a growing range of categories including TV and home entertainment, refrigeration, laundry, and air conditioning. 

 

Building on that success, the brand’s initial product range will boast a selection of UHD and ULED TVs, PureJet Washers and Dryers, and a suite of PureFlat Fridges in French Door and Bottom Mount designs. The offering will be available from retailers nationwide from next week. 

 

“After over 15 years in the Australian market, we’re excited to be heading across the ditch to launch a range of quality Hisense products for New Zealand customers,” said Nick Peters, Head of Marketing, Hisense Australia. 

 

“With consumers now spoilt for choice across TVs, home entertainment and whitegoods, we’re committed to offering feature rich products at competitive prices that cater to the needs of Kiwi households across the country”.

 

Hisense Product Specialist, Chris Mayer said, “We’re arriving in New Zealand with a strong fleet of products across three competitive categories, with the aim of providing smart and aesthetic tech solutions that you’re proud to show off in the home. 

 

“Our TV range offers industry-leading visual and audio tech, while our fridges, washers and dryers add style to your home, without jeopardising on efficiency and functionality. I’m really looking forward to seeing Kiwis embrace the Hisense range.”

 

Go Bigger with Hisense in your home 

 

Spearheading the launch is the ULED 4K TV Series U7HNZ and UHD 4K TV Series A7HNZ with premium features such as Dolby Vision™ HDR and Dolby Atmos sound. Offering TV-bingers and movie-buffs a superb viewing experience in any room in the house, sizes will range from 43-inches to 98-inches.

 

Hisense’s UHD and ULED TVs combine the latest technology to deliver customers optimum picture and crystal-clear sound quality. Both models will boast Game Mode, Sports Mode, and in-built Alexa Voice Assistant, while the U7HNZ also gives customers the option of Google Assistant. 

 

Hisense’s proprietary VIDAA operating system will also be available across all new models, delivering a range of apps suited to every audience – from sport and reality TV to movies and free to air.

 

Sleek, stylish, and functional kitchens

 

Delivered with a modern aesthetic, Hisense’s range of PureFlat refrigerators will be available to New Zealand customers in a selection of French Door and Bottom Mount designs with varying capacity. 

 

The French Door range is built with capacity in mind – ready for big families, entertainers, and foodies, while the brand’s Bottom Mount fridges offer a leaner appearance, equipped with Inverter Compressor technology and convenient Reversible Doors. 

 

Feature-rich range to help you spend less time in the laundry

 

Hisense’s popular PureJet Washer range will be available in-store from next week, offering a range of different load capacities, without jeopardising on convenience and efficiency. 

 

Catering for every household – from the sporty and outdoorsy to office workers – the models offer 14 automatic programs depending on the type of load, including family-favourite ‘pause and add’ functionality for forgotten dirty items. Users can also easily save and store their own ‘favourite’ wash settings, enabling these to be used again at the simple touch of a button.

 

Hisense’s range of products will be available online at www.hisense.co.nz and leading retailers

Yay, another option.  Have been seeing these in YouTube reviews a lot recently.  No pricing anywhere that I can see.

Always good to have another low end option available instead of the default option from the big red shed.

I've heard of the brand, but never seen any of their product. 

 

Interesting. Where do they sit on the Sony>Panasonic>JVC>Sanyo>Transonic scale?

At launch it looks like Hisense are releasing one mid/low range TV. The A7HNZ in 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches. Pricing is expected to be very competitive. Hisense are advertising 3 year warranty on all products, as opposed to one year on other TV makers selling their products in NZ.

 

In Australia, Hisense have many more TV models available including 8K sets, and some premium models.

 

Australian Line Up

 

Hopefully they will be released in NZ too.

It would be great if they brought their FireTV compatible line to NZ to really help shake things up.

Depends which models the bring but generally compete in the value - mid range very strongly. The likes of TCL and Vizio are probably the closest to them. They (generally) aren’t going after the high end.

If the A7H is like the US A6G I'd call it a low range TV as it's IPS with no local dim...

Interested.

 

Word of warning based on Aussie reviews of TV's that had same model no. as overseas version with +ve reviews.

 

However AUS model specs were in fact different to the international models eg. IPS vs VA; 60 Hz vs 120Hz.

 

So yeah read the spec sheet closely.

I see that Harvey Norman are now selling a range of the Hisense TV's.  75-in Mini LED for $2295.  Does anyone know how they all compare to, say a Sony X90J or X95J (my gold standard!)?

They're at JB-Hifi NZ now.

 

Not sure if they're worth getting though, I had one in UK and it was fine, but the NZ specs are completely different so impossible to find any reviews which I usually refer to before purchasing..

Can't find much on specs, their website doesn't say much, supports HDMI 2.1, VRR & eARC from what I can tell.

I was looking to upgrade my old 50" Sony which is starting to act weird, this or the TCL P735 might be the go when the next sale happens.
