    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good storage levels, easy to clean

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ice cube trays don't work well can be a bit noisy at times

    Whilst this fridge was not one that I had chosen as it was given to us by my husbands parents when they re modelled their kitchen and decided to change their fridges, I was please to receive it and I am very pleased with it's performance and would recommend it. One problem of inheriting this fridge freezer was my in laws had lost the instruction manual so it has been a bit tricky to find out some of the details of the fridge freezer. I have had to rate the specific criteria for the manual to load the review I have put fair as I am uncertain on how to rate it as I have never seen it. The RFA52 ... more

    5 Stars Hotpoint RFA52S: Silver and Sturdy 21/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Spacious and quiet.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The pointless ice trays.

    I recently moved in my first home and had to buy a Fridge Freezer for the first time. We knew the type we wanted, a free standing Fridge Freezer with a good sized freezer, preferably costing less than £300. It did prove quite difficult finding one in that price range that had a good sized freezer, a lot of them were small with large fridges. Living in a flat with limited space in my kitchen also meant I couldn't do for anything too large and after much searching we finally decided upon the Hotpoint RFA52S in silver. After comparing prices online across many websites, the price seemed to be ... more

    5 Stars Hotpoint RFA52S - It Won't Leave You In the Cold!! 19/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cost efficent and compact

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Terribe design of ice cube trays

    Hotpoint RSA52S Fridge Freezer After my fridge recently gave up the ghost, I decided after some homework that I would 'go the whole hog' and get a fridge freezer. I made this decision after finding out that the price between a larder fridge and a fridge freezer was only around and extra £25 and that it would be far more cost efficient, as I could then buy the three for two's and buy one get one free offers for my freezer. These had been totally unavailable to me as the food would not keep in a fridge and had to be thrown away, which I found was such a waste of food. As I am a single person ... more

    5 Stars Cool Product 02/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages narrower than standard, good space, built in ice cube trays, efficiency rating

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ice cubes sometimes hard to get out

    When I moved into my house, there was a fridge/freezer already in the kitchen and came included with the house. At first I thought this was great as it saved me having to shop for a fridge soon after moving in. However, after having switched the fridge on and waiting for 24 hours, it was obvious that it was not going to get cold. Fortunately, there was a smaller fridge in the utility room of the house which did work and I could use that while looking for a new kitchen fridge. This was not ideal as 1. It was small for 3 people using it, and 2. It is downstairs from the kitchen so the milk kept ... more

    3 Stars Think trying to Fit a Square into a Circle... 13/10/2011

    Advantages Advantages Easy to Clean & not too Noisy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not enough Room between the Shelves to house Tall Products & Not enough Space in General!

    We recently sold our last LG Fridge Freezer as it was too big for our Kitchen and so had to buy something that would take up less room. I really didn't want to spend a lot on our new one especially in the run up to Christmas so I opted for a Hotpoint model for £279.99 which I think is very reasonable for a Fridge Freezer. The RFA52 model came in White and to be honest I'm not a fan of White fridges, I much prefer a Chrome or Silver look to fit in with my modern Kitchen, but these shades are a lot more expensive so I settled for the White. The Fridge Freezer stand at about 1.7 Metres tall and 0 ... more
