A great fridge freezer for small families 17/08/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages good storage levels, easy to clean
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

Hotpoint RFA52S: Silver and Sturdy 21/07/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Spacious and quiet.
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

Hotpoint RFA52S - It Won't Leave You In the Cold!! 19/05/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Cost efficent and compact
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

Cool Product 02/08/2011

User recommends the product

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

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

Advantages Easy to Clean & not too Noisy
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

It's great for small families who love food! 01/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Holds more than you think
Disadvantages None Yet.....

I've had my fridge freezer for about 3 months now and to date have been very happy with it. Within a few minutes of me plugging it in you could feel it getting cold. I was glad I chose this one. There are only three people in my house including myself and this fridge freezer is ideal. It has 4 drawers in the freezer more than enough room for the kids oven food and it also has built in ice compartments. The fridge part of it is also very good and holds a lot of stuff. There are 2 compartments on the door and it has a section in the bottle holder where you can store 2 litre drinks. This I have ... more

Hotpoint RFA52 Excellent product 01/07/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Does what it's supposed to!
Disadvantages none

I have had this fridge freezer for seven months and haven't had any problems with it. The fridge capacity is enough for a family of four (2 teenagers!) and stays at a stable temperature. It is kept in a utility room which can get very cold, but I haven't noticed any changes in internal temp. Condensation does build up on the back but drains through the bottom hole. The freezer capacity is maybe a little less than I would have liked but means I have to use food more quickly - probably a good thing!! One major niggle are the ice cube trays on the front of the freezer drawers, they seem like good ... more

Hotpoint RFA52 24/02/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Smaller than most F/F but fiited the size I needed
Disadvantages Fridge needs more beer space

I was looking for a certain type of fridge freezer. It had to be the correct height and width for a pre built storage area in my garage. This one fitted ( excuse the pun ) perfectly. I ordered this one from Co-Op electrical online on the 27th of December and it was deliverd on the 29th. I paid £230 for the product which included delivery, pick up of old product would be a further £25 if you required it. The F/F itself was white in colour, had 4 freezer drawers. Up above in the fridge this had 2 glass shelves with storage under one shelve and door storage as well. Clean and bright is how I ... more

Hotpoint FRA52 03/06/2007

User recommends the product

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 ... more
