If you're looking for a fridge freezer that will not only keep your food fresh and cool but also looks stylish in your kitchen, there's an Hotpoint model that is perfect for you. The sleek models from this brand come in a variety of colors and finishes, including white, stainless steel or black. The models are well-designed, with plenty of space and simple controls. They're designed to maintain food at its freshest which is crucial for meat and fish or dairy products that have to be kept chilled.
Some of the Hotpoint models in our review have a handy feature called active oxygen. This releases ozone into the fridge, which kills bacteria by up to 90% and minimizes bad odours. It is also a method to preserve food and decrease food waste. In the UK 70 percent of household waste is caused by the purchase of food that is past its peak when it is eaten.
Other handy features include a dairy compartment that's ideal for storing milk, butter and cheese as well as an LED light that gives natural, bright illumination of the freezer and fridge sections. The controls are easy to use and read. There's also a cool button which quickly cools down fresh groceries.
This model has an automatic defrost function that eliminates the necessity of manual defrosting. The fridge or freezer door will sound an alarm if it is left open for too long. There's also a built-in dispenser of filtered water and a useful door alarm.
Another fantastic feature is the reversible doors that can be opened on either side of the appliance, based on the configuration of your kitchen. A pull-out salad crisper drawer is great to store fresh vegetables, which will keep them fresher for a longer time. And, of course there are many storage options including shelves, baskets, and movable racks.
Design
Hotpoint fridge freezers feature many different types of technology that helps keep food fresher longer. This includes total no-frost to ensure air is always circulated in the appliance so ice and moisture doesn't form and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 percent of bacteria in the fridge.
This model comes with two storage compartments inside the refrigerator section. The top drawer has an adjustable dial that regulates the humidity, so fruit and vegetables will stay fresher longer. The bottom drawer is for fish and meat, and comes with a ribbed floor for stability. These drawers are designed to be larger than some other models, making it easier to load them with groceries. The overcrowding of a freezer can cause cold air to circulate less effectively, increasing the chance of heat pockets forming and making the appliance more difficult to operate.
The refrigerator is constructed with sturdy French doors, which are easy to open and close, although they do restrict the amount of door space available. The left door rack is able to hold six pints of supermarket milk, while the right door rack can hold four pints. There is no room for anything more in the other doors. The top shelf of each door can be adjusted up or down by 5.5cm however those with shorter legs may find it hard to reach without stepping.
The front panel of the fridge cabinet includes an control panel that clearly displays the temperature and the other essential functions. This makes it simple to determine if there's any issue. There are other features that simplify life, such as the super freeze button which lowers the temperature in the freezer quickly to preserve fresh food and the icemaker which can produce up to three kilograms per day.
Hotpoint refrigerators come with a one-year warranty that covers parts and labor. The customer service team is on hand to provide advice and support in the event of problems with your freezer or refrigerator. They can arrange for an expert to visit your home in the event of a need.
Energy efficiency
Fridge freezers have evolved from simple ice containers to include a range of features. Nowadays, the main concern is usually energy efficiency. This is because refrigerators use lots of electricity and therefore choosing an energy-efficient model is the key to reducing your energy costs. You can make your fridge more energy efficient by reducing its temperature (e.g. to 5 or 4 degrees cooler) and removing items that will go bad soon.
However, you can also do simple things like buying a refrigerator with an A+ rating, which indicates that it has been tested independently and approved to cut down on energy consumption. This will help you save money and make a little impact on the environment.
The energy rating of a fridge will be based on the amount of energy it uses every day, as its total energy consumption per year. This is because if you are using the fridge for a prolonged time, then it will use more energy than it does within a short time. This is why it's essential to look up the energy label when purchasing a new appliance.
Our range of Hotpoint fridge freezers offer a selection of different styles to suit your kitchen, regardless of whether you prefer freestanding or integrated. The range of colors includes black, silver and stainless steel. This makes it easy to find the ideal appliance to match your other kitchen appliances.
A few of our models are equipped with clever technology like Active Oxygen, which helps to stop the growth of bacteria and eliminate strong odours in your food. Other features, such as frost-free freezers that remove the need for manual defrosting are fantastic ways to keep your fridge freezer free of filth.
A holiday mode could help reduce the energy consumption of your fridge. It can be set to keep the temperature at around 15degC and lower than normal, to prevent any mould or strong odours while you are away from home for a couple of weeks.
