Advantages: Good internal capacity Disadvantages: None
I needed a fairly small fridge-freezer (55cm width) to fit into the kitchen in my flat, but also wanted an appliance with a good internal capacity especially the freezer - I found the Hotpoint RFA52 to be the ideal choice.
The freezer section is on the bottom of the appliance and has four good size drawers. There are built-in ice cube trays that fit into the front of two of the drawers - a novel feature and saves space.
The fridge section has three glass trays and there are numerous spacing options to cater for all requirements (this is something that I found a problem with my old fridge-freezer as the shelfs were too close together - not a problem with the RFA52), and the shelfs are easy to remove for cleaning. There are two good sized vegetable trays situated under the bottom shelf.
The appliance was easy to instal - just ...
Advantages: Digital Display, Customisable, Memory, Delay Start Disadvantages: Wash times longer than stated, smaller porthole.
have found so far the 30 minute time saver wash takes around 45-50 minutes and I can honestly say I don't know why!
I am pleased with the size of the drum, the porthole is smaller than some of the other Aqualtis machines, which is a shame but the drum itself is a very nice size. Although I have not yet tried any "large items" looking at it, I do believe that it would comfortably hold a double duvet. Not tested this of course, so wouldn't like to say for certain.
After installation by Currys I had a slight technical problem with the water supply, after calling the Hotpoint Service line I was given very helpful and prompt information - they were also good enough to tell me NOT to call out their engineers for the problem as they felt it may not be the issue I thought and if that was the case they would have to charge me for the callout ...
Advantages: washes well, dries well, quiet (when properly installed) Disadvantages: installation instructions could be clearer
and, before purchasing, I read many reviews that commented on its very low noise levels.
Installation
I would strongly advise getting this installed professionally, if you can. If you can't, then make sure you absolutely do not miss out on taking out the transit bolts at the back. The installation instructions is not entirely clear about this, and does not include a picture to confirm that you're taking out the right thing. We ended up running it for a couple of months with the transit bolts in place. It made huge amounts of noise and was practically taking off whenever it spun. We spent hours sitting on the floor trying to adjust the feet to make it completely level. Eventually, I found a small bit on the Hotpoint website with a picture of the bolts and we pulled it out and discovered that they were there still. In fact, one ...
