A Guide to Buying a Hotpoint Fridge Freezer
Fridge freezers are hard-working kitchen appliances. Making sure they are well-stocked, clean and in good working order can reduce energy usage and will help keep food fresher for longer.
This Hotpoint refrigerator freezer holds 302 litres in the cabinet of the fridge. The layout is spacious with plenty of storage options including flexible shelves and door bins.
Features
Hotpoint offers an appliance that will not only keep your groceries cool and fresh and cool, but also look stunning in your kitchen. The sleek models of Hotpoint are available in a range of finishes and colors, including stainless steel, white and black. The models are well-designed with ample space and easy controls. They're designed to keep food at its freshest, which is particularly important for fish and meat or dairy products that need to be kept cool.
Some of the Hotpoint models in our review have a handy feature called active oxygen. The activated oxygen releases ozone into the fridge, which kills bacteria by up to 90% and eliminates bad odours. It is also a method to preserve food and reduce food waste. In the UK, 70 percent of household waste is caused by the purchase of food that is past its prime when it is eaten.
Other useful features include a dairy section that's ideal to store butter, milk and cheese as well as an LED light that provides natural, bright illumination of the fridge and freezer sections. The controls are simple to use and understand. There's also a cool button that instantly cools down fresh groceries.
This model also comes with an option for automatic defrost that does away with the need to manually defrost. The fridge or freezer door will sound an alarm if left open for too long. There's also a built-in dispenser for filtered water and a useful door alarm.
Another excellent feature is the reversible door which can be opened on either side of the appliance depending on the configuration of your kitchen. The pull-out salad drawer is perfect for storing vegetables, as it keeps them fresher for longer. Also you'll have plenty of storage options with shelves, baskets and movable racks.
Design
Hotpoint fridge freezers feature a wide range of thoughtful technology designed to keep food fresher longer. There are a variety of features, such as total no frost which ensures that air is constantly circulated inside the appliance to stop ice and moisture from forming and active oxygen to reduce bacteria by up to 99 percent.
This model also has two drawers of storage in the refrigerator section. The top drawer features a dial that can adjust the humidity, so fruit and vegetables can stay crisper longer. The lower drawer is used for fish and meat, and comes with an ribbed floor to ensure stability. These drawers are designed to be bigger than other models to make it easier to load them with groceries. Overcrowding in a freezer can cause the cold air to circulate more slowly and increase the chance of heat pockets and making the appliance harder to use.
The refrigerator is constructed with sturdy French-style doors that are easy to open and shut however, they limit how much space there is available on the door. The left door rack can accommodate a supermarket six pint of milk, and the right door rack can accommodate four pints. There isn't enough space for anything more in the other two doors. The top shelf on each door can be adjusted upwards or downwards by 5.5cm however, those who are shorter may find it difficult to reach without a step.
The front of the refrigerator cabinet features an control panel that clearly displays the temperature as well as the other functions. This makes it simple to determine if there's any issue. There are a few additional functions that make life a little easier, such as the super freeze button which quickly lowers the temperature of the freezer to preserve fresh foods, and an icemaker which can make up to three kilograms of ice every day.
Hotpoint refrigerators come with a one-year warranty that covers parts and labor. The customer care team is available to provide advice and support in the event of problems with your refrigerator or freezer. They can arrange for an expert to visit your home in the event of a need.
Energy efficiency
Refrigerator freezers aren't just basic ice boxes anymore, with a variety of models that come with a variety of different options. Nowadays, the primary concern is usually energy efficiency. This is because fridges use a lot of electricity to operate, so choosing an efficient model is essential to saving money on your energy costs. There are many things you can do to make your fridge more energy efficient like lowering the temperature a bit (e.g. to 4 or 5 degrees colder) and removing items that will go bad soon.
However, you can also do simple things such as buying a fridge with an A+ rating, which indicates that it has been independently tested and approved to cut down on energy use. You'll save money and help the environment.
A fridge's energy rating is based on the amount of energy used by the appliance throughout the day, but it also takes into account the total energy consumption per year. This is because if you run the fridge for a long period of time, it will use more energy than it would within a short time. It's important to read the energy label prior to purchasing an appliance that is new.
The range of refrigerator freezers offered by Hotpoint offers different styles that will fit in with any kitchen, whether freestanding or integrated. The range of colors includes silver, black and stainless steel. It is easy to match the appliance with the other kitchen appliances.
Some of our models come with smart technology like 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'll no longer have to do manual defrosting are an excellent way to keep your fridge freezer clean and clean.
A holiday mode can reduce the energy consumption of your fridge. It can be set to keep the internal temperature at about 15degC which is lower than usual to avoid any mould or strong odours while you are away from home for a couple of weeks.
