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.
I recently purchased this washing machine as a replacement for an older, tired Whirlpool Washer/Dryer. My previous machine was a 1000rpm speed and was deafeningly loud.
Although I was initially dubious by the claims of the machines "super silent" features, I was very impressed by the performance that the machine gives whilst still being quiet. Even on the full 1600 spin it is quite quiet - not silent obviously, but when purchasing, the sales team were honest and friendly enough to point out that super silent doesn't mean silent and that there would be some noise.
The digital display is very easy to understand and the pre-programmed options make washing very easy. Functions such as Bed and Bath, which washes on a 60degree temperature, are very helpful and bedding and bathware comes out feeling very clean and refreshed. Many ...
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 ...
