A Guide to Buying a Hotpoint Fridge Freezer
Fridge freezers are hard-working kitchen appliances. Keep them clean, stocked and in good shape to reduce energy consumption and extend the shelf-life of your food items.
This Hotpoint refrigerator freezer has 302 litres in the cabinet for the fridge. The layout is spacious and offers lots of storage options, including flexible shelves and door bins.
Features
If you're looking for a refrigerator freezer that not only keeps your groceries cool and fresh but also looks stylish in your kitchen there's a Hotpoint model that is perfect for you. The sleek models of Hotpoint are available in a range of colors and finishes that include white, stainless steel or black. The models are well-designed with ample space and easy controls. They're designed to maintain food in the best condition for freshness, which is particularly important when it comes to meat and fish or dairy products that need to be kept chilled.
Some of the Hotpoint models in our review have a handy feature called active oxygen. This releases ozone into the refrigerator, which can reduce the growth of bacteria up to 90% and reduces bad odours. It can also help to preserve foods and reduce needless food waste, which is a big problem in the UK since 70 percent of household food waste is due to overbuying or food that's past its peak before it is consumed.
The freezer and fridge sections are also illuminated with the LED light, which is natural and bright. The controls are simple to use and understand. There's also a super cool button which quickly cools fresh food items.
This model has an automated defrost function that eliminates the necessity of manual defrosting. A door alarm is useful if you leave the fridge or freezer doors open for too long, and there's a built-in water dispenser with filtered water.
Reversible doors can be opened from either side, based on the layout of your kitchen. A pull-out salad crisper drawer is ideal to store fresh vegetables, that will keep them fresh for longer. There are plenty of storage options with baskets, shelves, and adjustable racks.
Design
The Hotpoint refrigerator freezers come with a variety of cutting-edge technologies that help keep food fresher for longer. They include no-frost total to ensure that air is circulated in the appliance so moisture and ice don't form and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 percent of bacteria found in the fridge.
This model also has two drawers of storage in the fridge section. The top drawer is equipped with a dial that can adjust the humidity, which means that fruits and vegetables will stay fresher longer. The bottom drawer is designed for fish and meat, and comes with an ribbed floor to ensure stability. Both drawers have been designed to be a bit bigger than those in other models, which means they are much easier to store groceries in. Overcrowding in a freezer can cause the cold air to circulate slower, increasing the chances of heat pockets forming and making the appliance less efficient to operate.
The refrigerator has been designed with strong French doors, which are easy to close and open, although they do limit the amount of door space available. The left door rack can hold six pints of supermarket milk, while the right door rack can hold four pints. There isn't enough room for anything more in the other two doors. The top shelf of each door can be moved either way by 5.5cm. However, smaller people might find it difficult to reach it without a step.
The front of the fridge cabinet has an LCD control panel that clearly displays the temperature as well as the other functions. This makes it simple to see if there is a problem. There are a few additional functions that make life a little easier for you, like the super freeze button, that quickly reduces the temperature of the freezer to preserve fresh foods, and an icemaker that can produce up to three kilograms of ice each day.
Hotpoint refrigerators come with a one year warranty that covers both parts and labor. The customer service team is available to provide assistance and advice in the event of problems with your refrigerator or freezer. They can also arrange for technicians to visit in the event of a need.
Energy efficiency
Refrigerator freezers have evolved from simple ice containers to include a variety of features. Nowadays energy efficiency is the primary goal. This is due to the fact that refrigerators consume lots of electricity to operate, so choosing an efficient model is key to saving money on energy bills. You can make your fridge more energy efficient by reducing its temperature (e.g. to 5 or 4 degrees warmer or colder) and taking out items that are going to be rotten within a short time.
However, you can also do simple things like buying a refrigerator with an A+ rating, which means it has been tested independently and deemed to reduce energy consumption. You will save money and contribute to the sustainability of the planet.
A refrigerator's energy rating takes into account how much energy the appliance consumes during the day and also takes into account its annual energy consumption. It is because if the fridge is being used for a long period of time, it will require more power than if it's only used for a brief duration. It is essential to read the energy label prior to purchasing an appliance that is new.
Our range of Hotpoint fridge freezers comes with a variety of styles to match your kitchen, regardless of whether you prefer a freestanding or integrated. The range of colors includes silver, black and stainless steel. This makes it easy to find the perfect appliance that matches your other kitchen appliances.
A few of our models are equipped with thoughtful technology such as Active Oxygen, which helps to keep bacteria at bay and eliminate strong odours from your food. Other features, like freezers with no frost, which means you can wave goodbye to manual defrosting are a great way to help keep your fridge freezer clean and tidy.
Having a holiday mode can be helpful for cutting down on the energy consumption of your refrigerator. You can set it to keep the temperature inside at 15degC (lower than normal) to prevent mould or strong smells while you're away.
