Ok so care free spending isnt good but i droped lucky this time! When it arrived i sat and read the book that came with it and was so impressed i have to review it! so here goes!
Unlike me when people buy a fridge freezer u need the basics correct first so thats where i am going start!
With an impressive 11.1cubic feet of space this fridge freezer stands 2000mm high or 2meters or 6ft 6ins depending how you work out you dimensions it is 600mm/60cm wide and 655mm/65.5cm deep (front to back)
The fridge is 7.2cubic feet or 205 liters and the freezer a slightly smaller 3.9cubic feet or 113 liters.
The freezer has 4 decent sized drawer compartments with 4 glass shelves 1 salad box and 1 raw meat box in the fridge! Also when you open the fridge the center piece is a stainless steel wine rack!
It comes with a large shelf attaced to the door for milk etc and the usual egg racks and butter dish's that come with all other makes and models!
Ok so now a bit about the fridge and what makes it super special!
Firstly the most impressive thing is how it keeps food cold! Unlike conventional fridges and freezers where the fridge sides get cold and the freezer has bars that ice up this one works by blowing chilled air! there are 2 fans one for the fridge one for the freezer, these are very quiet and cannot be seen, they blow ice cold air into the fridge and freezer allowing it to chill food! without the frost or ice! Personaly i think thats really cool!
The fridge is finished in a textured steel which is silver in colour they are also available in white!
The tempreture can be controlled by dials at the top of the fridge, both the fridge and freezer are independent of each other they have a tempriture dial each! on the dials you have efficent setting which runs the fridge freezer at the most efficent temperiture it can using less electric etc, the fridge has a super cool function and the freezer a super freeze function which atomatically turns off when the required temperiture is attained!
There is a holiday setting, this allows you to run your fridge empty while away using just enough energy to keep you frozen food frozen and your fridge cool so it dosent smell like it would if switch off with the door closed!
If the fridge or freezer door is left open for 2mins or more an alarm sounds which stops instantly when the door is closed, this also sounds if the tempriture goes above a safe leval -16 for freezer and +6 for fridge. The fridge and freezer fetures a stay cold seal, if you have a power cut it will maintain its current tempriture for 12 hours meaning your food wont spoil! The shelves are made of toughened easy clean antibacterial glass ideal if you have young children! defrosting is un nessiseary as it uses air not ice! and thats about it! my first review!
Oh before i forget, for all the eco concious i best tell you about its energy use and ratings:
The fridge freezer is energy rated A The electricety consumption is 361Kwh per Year The sound leval is almost silent!
A sturdy well built piece of kit! very very stylish and very efficent at doing its job! Go Buy one! You Know You Want To!
Advantages: Lots of space, helpful compartments, designed with space saving in mind Disadvantages: Quite tall, so you may need a step if you're very short!
This fridge freezer is great! It is quiet and has loads of space inside. It has alot of brilliant features which include: Holiday function - uses less energy when you go away; Super cool - reduces the temperature when you put the new, warmer shopping in; Super freeze - great for freezing unfrozen food quickly in 2 of the freezer drawers; Door open buzzer - when left open for more than 2 mins, the buzzer sounds and the inside light flashes (handy ... ...push it, it needs to be closed by hand); Salad bin - I have never seen a salad bin so big, but this means that you can fit all your veg in this drawer; Fresh drawer - A good space to put all your raw meat to keep it away from other foods. And lots of other features too!! Easy to clean glass shelves and completely frost free, with loads of space in the freezer too (its very misleading to look at, ie. looks smaller than it is!) ...

Quick review of Hotpoint FF200EG
Three months after the last repair which cost me £90 and the warning buzzer is going off and both lights flashing so the same thing has happened again! The last time the engineer removed some large blocks of ice and used a hairdryer to speed this up,but i have no idea how to get to the ice as its not visible,this model has been a complete nightmare and i think i am going to have to buy a different make,Avoid Hotpoint at all cost.. ...

Quick review of Hotpoint FF200EG
a frost free unit that is unable to defrost itself!
A design fault that Hotpoint will not take responsibity for - unless you pay them.
Really bad attitude to customer service
their response to my complaint
'We do feel that we have used our best endeavours to investigate your complaint thoroughly and to set out our position to you clearly.'
and
'In the circumstances there is really nothing further that we can add and now consider the matter closed.'
Steer clear of Hotpoint - put your money to better use - I now have a Bosch dishwasher and fridge freezer - replace with Hotpoint NEVER nor will my 12 year old good customer retention there then Hotpoint ...

Advantages: Good looking product Disadvantages: Very poor reliability
...replacement with alternate product from Hotpoint who tell me they can only replace if the engineer can not repair, removing the ice that should never be there in the first place is not a repair, will wait and see how the engineer proposes to resolve the problem with a permanent cure but expect to find their only solution is the hair dryer treatment. ...
