Hotpoint FFP187BP Reviews: Frost Free, Energy Efficient, White fridge freezer

+ Good storage space in freezer compartments, included a wine rack in the fridge, twin salad drawers a good idea, non-fussy exterior design

- Bottle fringe retainer keeps coming detatched - easier to discard it completely !! Not an easy task to reverse the doors - the plastic 'blocks' that the bottom hinge screws into very weak - screws will not tighten up - just keep spinning around.

+ Good size and capacity, and the wine rack is very iseful.

- The only bad thing is the inclusion of an egg rack: eggs should not be kept in the fridge as it increases the chance of getting salmonella food poisoning.

+ Draw units in freezer provides very good storage space. Fridge also provides suitable storage space.

- Fitment that is supposed to keep milk bottles etc in place within fridge door keeps falling off.

+ Its big and looks good. It has wheels instead of back feet. The glass shelves are good and the wine rack inside is handy.

+ excellant capacity and precise chilling

+ Wine rack,separate salad drawers

- The part in the fridge door which is supposed to hold bottles etc in place slips off, and is pointless.

+ good size fridge and freezer wine rack very useful keeps wine cool without having to use the door space

- need to allow space for the doors to open sizes do not tell you that if trying to fit in a specific place

- A little noisy when auto-defrosting, but you get used to that. Not loud, just weird noises!

+ wine rack that doesn't take out one of your shelves in your fridge

- freezer storage - not enough for my liking, sorry

+ Excellent design, the drawers in the freezer have space over the drawer so that when you think the drawer is full you can still close it with no problem. There is one drawer that is deeper than the others for those larger items, very handy. Two chiller drawers one for salad and one for veg, and a wine rack.
Overall for the price I paid excellent value.

- Have not found any yet.

+ Energy efficient. Good handle design, ones which won't break from constant opening action.

- Freezer draws are not vety deep.

+ Great looking design, loved the retro styling! Quiet, our old machine was old and made a fair bit of noise which assumed was the norm, this model is so quiet I open the fridge door to make sure its on! I love the freezer drawers too, plenty of room not mean at all which you can get from some models.

- None that I can think of!

+ I like the fact that it is made in UK & is proud to state this on the front. The undershelf winerack is a good idea. The vegetable drawers are sturdy, unlike those found in many other makes. It is smart looking & economical, being A rated.

- The top shelf in the door has a flip up lid, (but this seems to be standard for most fridges &, at least it is removable). I wish the door shelves could have been a little deeper.

+ Freezer Capacity is excellent - same overall size as previous Fridge -Freezer but this one has deeper drawers so store a lot more frozen food.
Excellent use of space
Very quiet

- Glad we didn't buy our original choice (the FFP 200) as this model is taller than us. Difficult to reach the back of the top shelf in the fridge.
No logic about best place to store items in the fridge

+ A good buy. An ideal family size.

- The doors cannot be reversed easily.

+ Very spacious, very modern looking. Really good value for money.

- is quite loud, cant be pushed right against the wall as has a grill that sticks out of the back

+ lots of capacity in the freezer.

- the non-frost doesnt work brilliantly when there is a lot of food in there.

+ Excellent power consumption, modern design with great storage features.

- Freezer baskets are weak and after just two weeks, one of them snapped. Very disappointed.

+ Stylish, large, well built and spacious. Good space in freezer, large draws and good depth. Quiet. At first, plastic on bottle shelf kept falling off, but it was not fitted on properly. Now not a problem. Would recommend to anyone.

- Nothing at all.

+ Like the design and the space insdie especially the drawers.

- Cannot think of any at the moment as it works well and is very quiet.

+ Very pleased with fridge - easy to use, 2 salad drawers useful (rather than 1 large).

- Although I knew the capacity of the freezer not as large as I'd expected.

+ GOOD PRICE

- WE HAD TO CHANGE DOORS OVER, A NIGHTMARE, WITH POOR QUALITY DIAGRAMS AND INSTRUCTIONS

+ excellent fridge storage space

- freezer space is shallow - can't fit a pizza in a box in.

+ The light is very bright, with a quiet sound.

- Some freeze dras were on the small side

+ i like the 50/50 fridge freezer as there is lots of space both in the fridge and in the freezer.

+ It's well designed to maximize the available space. It's temperature control is very accurate. Given it is a self defrosting appliance it isn't anywhere near as noisy as similar appliances that my friends have.

- Back gas pipes stick out a little to much so prevents you from having a cosy fit.

+ Plenty of room in both fridge & freezer. Quiet and economical. No problems as yet.

- Instructions for changing the door round are a nightmare. Made a simple job into a major task.

+ Nice design and build quality. Freezer is very big.

+ there is lots of room in both the fridge and the freezer, and i love the drink's rack

- Not found any bad points yet!

+ Good split between good sized fridge and good sized freezer. The bottom shelf is also tall enough for most beer cans/bottles to stand upright

- The bottle racks need to be a bit bigger, they are good for wine but just a bit small for a 2ltr lemonade bottle

+ Plenty of room in both fridge and freezer

+ like very much the ease of removing freezer draws

- would have liked a light to idicate power on or offon the outside of the fridge

+ lots of room. very sturderly built.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- took over 3 hours to change which way the door hung

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Fairly noisy
Salad drawers flimsy, feel they might well break when lifted out
Door doesn't open far enough back to get one of the drawers out

+ I like the bottle rack, also the easy shelves to pull out the freezer.

- Not quite as much storage as our last one. A bit noisy, which I didnt expect.

+ Large freezer capacity. Spacious. Good value for money.

- Can make some odd noises but you don't notice after a while.

+ Looks great, colour is modern and up to date. Smooth outside makes it very contemporary and works well in my kitchen.
Alarm to tell me to shut the door - really useful.
Wine rack
Super cool and super freeze function - very useful

- botton draw of the freezer, can't open it fully which makes getting food in and out difficult

+ good storage easy set up and quiet

- none yet

+ good make

- there aren't any

+ Plenty of space

- Strange noises every once in a while, initially thought someone was gently moaning.
Freezer draws could be better

+ It looks good from the outside very simple but very tall. Good freezer drawers

- Door storage limited - to allow for a bottle of wine to sit upright other shelves in the door need to be moved which creates a no go space.

+ large capacity fridge, nice bottle holder on the bottom of the shelf, which you can move if you want. 2 good size salad crispers.
everything is removable for easy cleaning.
nice freezer.
very quiet.

- freezer could do with being more evenly spaced. there is 1 large drawer and 3 small drawers.

+ real value for money regards the size

- some flimsy plastic oarts

+ massive storage and value for money.

- None

+ One of the few with an almost equal split between fridge and freezer.

- None so far.

+ Looks great alongside other silver/stainless appliances in my kitchen. Fittings are generally sturdy and strong. Like the bottle rack and lots of storage in door.

- Quite bulky - takes up a lot of room compared to its capacity so would be quite small for a family fridge. Annoying bottle stabiliser in door rack keeps falling off when you lift cartons of milk or juice out of the fridge but this is a minor point

+ Looks good. Has plenty of room in both fridge and freezer for my needs. As a new user, I find it functions very well.

- Because it has no separate controls for fridge and freezer,, nor any warning light if there is a fault, I may have trouble if the freezer breaks down, not finding out till it is too late and food is ruined.

+ Nice design, quiet when running, easy to move around to get into position if you need to move it for whatever reason. Nice wine rack for storing bigger bottles and drinks which frees up the door storage space a bit. Only been in place for a few weeks so can't tell about energy consumption yet, although I imagine this will be good as has a good rating.

- Not as big inside as you would think. It has the same number of shelves (in both the freezer and fridge) as my previous hoover fridge freezer and yet it was a struggle to fit the same amount in, so think the depth of shelves must be a bit smaller.

+ The fridge feezer is a good size and suits my needs. I like the design of the product and the best feature of the fridge is the area to store bottles, as this frees up space for other things to go on the shelves. The freezer compartments are more then adequate to store all my frozen food (believe me I have a lot!).

- I havn't really come across any yet.

+ The Frost Free freezer. Its brilliant.And the bottle balcony! :-)

- None

+ Looks good and is roomy.

- Can be a bit noisy - cracking sounds from freezer compartment.

+ Superb addition to our kitchen, with good capacity

- Concerned about the crackling noises. Would this be the defrosting taking place?

+ plenty of room

- you need a high ceiling

+ superb

- none

- good fridge space but rather small freezer space and no ice compartment

+ Spacious and well-lit with good storage in the door.

- The door opens well beyond the edge of the fridge, making it a tight fit and requiring care not to bash the door.

+ Good design and value for money

- Interior space and inparticular depth of drawers limited due to 'A' insulation?

+ Good value, decent size and performance

- Reviewer left no comment

+ nice looking good capacity

- makes some loud strange noises

+ Excellent capacity and does keep food frozen yet frost free

- Haven't found any yet

+ Plenty of versatile room in fridge

- Top draw fell out when pulling out breaking front panel.

+ Large capacity and frost free

- can be a bit noisy

+ large enough capacity for family needs, cleen and bright looking finish, wine rack good idea, good to have same size freezer as fridge compartmant

- none at present

+ the neat internal design allows it to befilled without wasting space and the depth is enought for a 2 ltr bottle.
The freezer drawers are strongh and easy to use. I chose this over the rest on the neat design and price.

- the bottle rack could be a little bigger for 2ltr bottle. Thay do fit at a push . As we all don't drink wine.

+ - Is big enough for what we need.
- Has good suction power when door is closes.
- Has good door sized compartments.

- - Veg/fruit drawers could be a little bigger/longer/deeper.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Fairly complex to change side door opens partly due to a missing plate for screwing the bootom hinge onto. Also disapointed with the size of the frezer draws.

+ Its quiet, big enough for our needs, easy to reverse the door, easyto clean, and warns you to close the door by flashing the light.

- I think fridges and freezers should be fitted with digital thermometers, with an external display,, so that you can see that the optimum temperarure is maintained.

+ Much quieter than my previous Frost Free.

- None so far.

+ nice size to fit into a decent place

- make very funny crackling noises

+ Nice appearance. More room in the freezer than it appears at first. The large freezer drawer is big enough to take a turkey. I like the fact that the freezer has 4 actual drawers and not just a shelf at the top. The glass shelves in the fridge cut down the risk of meat dripping onto a lower shelf. Good light in fridge.

- I could have lived without the bottle rack in favour of any extra shelf although it can be used as such in a pinch. 5 smaller drawers in the freezer would have made it easier to find stuff withou digging. (One could have been removed to accomodate the turkey). I find it difficult to open the door far enough to put the vegetable drawer out straight. The door doesn't seem to open beyond 90degrees and then the door compartments stick out.

+ Large capacity freezer, this is essentail when you have lots of kids to feed through a month.

- Had to take a huge fridge to get the right capacity freezer.
