Fridge Freezers > Hotpoint Fridge Freezers > B

Advantages: You can choose whether to open the door on the left or the right.
Disadvantages: Freezer compartment gets iced up quickly.

...that Mum had always trusted Hotpoint as a brand, I opted for this fridge/freezer. I thought it would be very useful to have the option of being able to open the door from whichever side was suited, knowing that I wouldn't be staying in my studio flat very long and not knowing what my next kitchen might offer. As it happens, I have always had the door opening from the same side - but you never know! As a fridge it has proved quite efficient. I have ...
...door shelves are sometimes tricky to slot into place - and that's the most annoying bit about the cleaning! The freezer section, however, is a bit of a pain. It freezes over too quickly and I have actually stopped using it to its full capacity as I don't have the time to keep defrosting it. Luckily I now live in a cottage that has ample space for a separate freezer so I don't really need the freezer compartment in the fridge. However, if you are ... Read review

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: none

Full review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was immediately impressed as soon as this fridge freezer came through my door. The first thing i noticed was how tall it was and the colour, (graphite) went well with the decor of my kitchen. The fridge part is very spacious with four safety glass shelves, a bottle rack ,salad drawer and fresh food drawer. It is brightly lit when ever you open the door ...
...items from below. The bottom shelf in the door is quite wide, so plenty of room for most size bottles. The freezer part was a bit smaller than I expected, Though it is still quite a good size. I manage quite well with it considering a husband and five children. It has four drawers and on two of them there is an ice maker, a bit of a bonus I thought. The one thing I do like is the alarm that goes off, if the door of the fridge or freezer door remains ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good, lots of space, well fitted-out
Disadvantages: problems with refrigerant may ruin the compressor and lead to very expensive repair.

...than two years old. Baumatic immediately sent out a new compressor ( a very expensive part, I believe) with no quibbles, but told us that we would have to pay labour costs ourselves - also that they had no engineers in our part of the country, so we would have to find one ourselves. This took a lot of 'phoning around, but we eventually got it fixed - a complicated repair, it took the engineer well over three hours' work, at a repair cost of £230 ... Read review

Advantages: Good freezer space.
Disadvantages: Not keeping even temperature in fridge.

...a replacemnt product for a samsung fridge freezer that was awaiting delivery. I was quite happy to take delivery as this was meant to be the new improved model.Apparently there was very little difference between the two. As long as it wasn't stainless steel and was still fingerprint proof I wasn't too bothered. I had wanted silver but accepted the change in colour to grey. When it arrived I was happy as it was silver grey and it was finger mark ...
...it to be. I called samsung who to my surprise were very helpful and organised an engineer. I was also to receive an extended warranty pack as there was a known fault with the Rs 21. However he did not divulge what it was. After seeing watchdog a few months ago I was well aware of the problem . The problem being they didn't keep their temperature. Well the engineer cancelled and came a few days later. My husband saw him and when I came home I was ... Read review

Advantages: Frost-free; reliable.
Disadvantages: Freezer a little on the small side.

This is a solid, reliable fridge freezer, as you would expect from Bosch. Although it can be quite pricy, I reckon that it's worth the investment. The frost-free capability works a treat - even if you don't think you're bothered about having this, I can guarantee that once you have it you won't want to go back to defrosting your freezer! It also has an A energy rating, which is good. The doors open nicely and close tightly, and it's easy to adjust ...
...buttons behind the door. It's all easy to access and clean, as the doors are big and open wide and all the shelves/drawers come fully out. The Fridge: It's got a big fridge compartment, with three shelves in the compartment and three in the door. The door shelves are large and deep: the bottom one will take two 6-pint plastic cartons of milk with room to spare, for example. There's also a little egg holder in one of them, which is rather nice. ... Read review
