Features
Hotpoint offers models that not only keep your groceries fresh and cool and cool, but also look stunning in your kitchen. The sleek models of this brand are available in a variety of colours and finishes including white, black or stainless steel. They're well-designed and have plenty of space and simple controls. They're designed to keep food in the best condition for freshness, which is particularly important for seafood, meat or dairy products that have to be kept cool.
Some of the Hotpoint models we've reviewed feature a nifty function called active oxygen. It releases ozone into your fridge, which reduces bacteria up to 90% and reduces bad smells. It also helps preserve food and reduce food waste which is a major issue in the UK as 70 percent of household food waste is caused by over-buying or food that is past its best by the time it gets eaten.
The fridge and freezer sections are also lit by an LED light that is bright and natural looking. The controls are easy to use and read, and there's even a super cool button that cools new food items quickly.
This model comes with an automatic defrost function that eliminates the necessity of manual defrosting. The door to the freezer or fridge will sound an alarm if it is opened for too long. There's also a built-in dispenser for water that has been filtered, as well as a useful door alarm.
The doors that can be reversible can be opened on either side, depending on the layout of your kitchen. A pull-out salad crisper drawer is great to store fresh vegetables, which will keep them fresher for a longer time. Also there are many storage options including shelves, baskets and moveable racks.
Design
Hotpoint fridge freezers come with a wide range of thoughtful technologies that are designed to keep food fresher longer. They include no-frost total to ensure air is always circulated in the appliance so moisture and ice don't form and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 per cent of bacteria in the fridge freezer next day delivery.
This model also has two storage drawers in the fridge section. The top one comes with an adjustable dial that can adjust the humidity to help fruit and vegetables stay crisper for longer and the bottom is specifically designed to hold fish and meat. It also has an attractive ribbed floor that helps prevent roll. These drawers are designed to be larger than some other models to make it easier to load them with groceries. The overcrowding of a freezer can make cold air circulate less efficiently, thereby increasing the chance of creating heat pockets and making the appliance more difficult to operate.
The refrigerator is built with sturdy French doors that are easy to open and close but they do limit the amount of space that can be used by the door. The left door rack holds a six-pinter milk container from a supermarket and the right holds four pints, however there's no room for more than this in either of the other two sets of doors. The top shelf on each door is movable upwards or downwards 5.5cm. However, shorter people might have trouble reaching it without stepping.
A control panel on the front of the fridge cabinet clearly displays all important functions of the fridge and freezer including temperature, so it's easy to check if there's any issues. There are also a few extra functions to simplify life for you, like the super freeze button, that quickly reduces the temperature of the freezer to preserve fresh foods, and an icemaker that produces up to three kilograms of ice every day.
Hotpoint refrigerators come with a one year warranty that covers both parts and labor. The customer care team is on hand to provide assistance and guidance when you're experiencing issues with your refrigerator or freezer. They can also arrange for an expert to visit should it be necessary.
Energy efficiency
Fridge freezers aren't simply ice boxes anymore, with numerous models that have a myriad of different features. These days, the main attention is usually on energy efficiency. This is because refrigerators use lots of electricity, so choosing an energy-efficient model is the key to saving on your energy bills. There are a variety of ways to make your refrigerator more energy efficient, for example, lowering the temperature a bit (e.g. to 5 or 4 degrees warmer or colder) and removing items that will be rotten within a short time.
It is also possible to make small changes, such as purchasing a refrigerator with an A+ rating. This means that the fridge has been tested independently to cut down on energy use. You'll save money and contribute to the sustainability of the planet.
The energy rating of a refrigerator will be based on the amount of energy that it consumes each day, as well the total energy usage per year. This is because if a fridge is utilized for a longer period of time, it will use more energy than if it's only being used for a short period of time. It is important to check the energy label prior to purchasing a new appliance.
