Fabulous freezer with no defrosting exactly as it claims. Unfortunately there seems to be a basic design flaw in that the drawer fronts on ALL drawers cracked within 6 months of purchase simply as a result of normal pulling open of the drawers. The plastic seems too brittle. All were replaced (but the entire drawer- not just the clip-on fronts...) and for a further 8 months all is well. Yesterday one drawer shattered completely when pulled open- bits of sharp plastic flew everywhere.

The handle also suffers stress as it is fixed with 2 screws onto the edge of the door frame and cannot take the stress of being pulled open. Showed early signs of snapping off.

Engineer was great although the time period for service was a little long. Actually an Indesit.

Hi brittle1906. Hotpoint is an Indesit brand- like Creda. Hotpint and Creda stuff is serviced by Indesit engineers. Sorry that the comment was confusing.

Welcome to Ciao. I'm a little confused, are you saying that your freezer is actually an Indesit or that the engineer works for Indesit? If your freezer is Indesit, not Hotpoint, then your review is in the wrong place.....
