If you're looking for a fridge freezer that doesn't just keep your food items fresh and cool but also looks great in your kitchen there's a Hotpoint model that will suit your needs. The sleek models of this brand come in a variety of finishes and colours such as stainless steel, white or black. The models are well-designed, with plenty of space and simple controls. They're designed to keep food at its freshest, which is important for fish, meat and dairy products.
Hotpoint models we have reviewed have a neat feature called active oxygen. The activated oxygen releases ozone into the fridge, which reduces bacteria by up to 90% and eliminates bad odours. It is also a method to preserve food and reduce food waste. In the UK 70% of household waste is generated by the purchase of food that is not in its peak when it is consumed.
Other useful features include a dairy section that's ideal to store butter, milk and cheese and an LED light that offers natural, bright illumination of the freezer and fridge sections. The controls are simple to read and operate and there's a super cool button that cools down new groceries quickly.
This model has an automated defrost function that eliminates the necessity of manual defrosting. The fridge or freezer door will sound an alarm if left open for a long time. There's also a built-in dispenser of filtered water and a useful door alarm.
Reversible doors can be opened on either side, based on the layout of your kitchen. The pull-out salad drawer is perfect to store your vegetables as it keeps them fresher longer. Of course you'll have plenty of storage options with shelves, baskets and adjustable racks.
Design
Refrigerator freezers from Hotpoint are fitted with a variety of cutting-edge technologies that keep food fresher for longer. This includes total no-frost to ensure that air is circulated through the appliance, ensuring that moisture and ice don't form and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 per cent of bacteria found in the fridge.
The model comes with two storage compartments in the refrigerator section. The top drawer has an adjustable dial that regulates the humidity, meaning that fruit and vegetables will keep their crispness longer. The bottom drawer is for fish and meat and has an ribbed floor to ensure stability. Both of these drawers are made to be larger than the ones found in other models, so they are much easier to store groceries in. A freezer that is overcrowded will cause cold air to circulate less efficiently, thereby increasing the chance of developing heat pockets and making the appliance more difficult to operate.
The refrigerator is constructed with sturdy French-style doors which are easy to open and close however, they restrict the amount of space there is available on the door. The left door rack can hold a supermarket six-pinter of milk and the right holds four pints, but there's no room for more than this in either of the two other sets of doors. The top shelf of each door can be adjusted up or down by 5.5cm however those with shorter legs may find it hard to reach without stepping.
The front panel of the fridge cabinet includes an LCD control panel that clearly displays the temperature and the other functions. This makes it simple to see if there is any issue. There are additional features that simplify life, such as the super freeze button, which lowers the temperature in the freezer quickly to preserve fresh food, and the ice maker that can make up to three kilograms of ice per day.
Hotpoint refrigerators are backed by one-year guarantees and this includes parts and labour. The customer care team is available to provide assistance and advice when you're experiencing issues with your freezer or refrigerator. They can also arrange for an expert to visit if necessary.
Energy efficiency
Refrigerator freezers aren't just basic ice boxes anymore, with a variety of models featuring a plethora of different features. Nowadays, energy efficiency is the primary priority. This is due to the fact that refrigerators consume a lot of electricity to operate, so choosing an efficient model is essential to reducing your energy costs. You can make your fridge energy efficient by reducing its temperature (e.g. to 5 or 4 degrees cooler) and taking out items that are going to be rotten within a short time.
You can also take advantage of simple things like purchasing a refrigerator with an A+ rating, which indicates that it has been tested independently and approved to cut down on energy consumption. This will save you money and make a small impact on the environment.
The energy rating of a refrigerator takes into account the amount of energy that it consumes every day, as well the total energy usage per year. This is because if you use the fridge for a prolonged duration, it will use more energy than it would in a short period of time. It is important to check the energy label before buying an appliance that is new.
