Some customer reviews of Hotpoint FFA52

Most helpful reviews

Phil, Derby Basic user

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Generally good all-round for the price, despite the minor bad points listed.
Bad points:: Heat-dissipating element on the rear is quite flimsy, not good for mounting the spacers on (as per the instructions) which keep the fridge the minimum distance from a wall. Care is required when pushing back towards the wall or you'll risk some damage.
Freezer door requires a good tug to open, if the fridge is not full it will slide on shiny floors.
Ice-making tubes are too fiddly to fill, if only a little too much water is put in the ice cubes formed are too big to come out of the tube. Old ice trays are best and can make bigger cubes - "if it isn't broken don't try and fix it".
