Hotpoint RFA52 Reviews: Tall, White fridge freezer

+ Very quiet

- Door shelves are fixed - I'd have liked to be able to remove the top one, or move the middle one down a bit.

+ Quiet and plenty of capacity

- The freezer door is sometimes difficult to open due to the suction on. But don't have same problem with fridge. Also sometimes need to take freezer drawers completley out of the freezer to take items out/in it as not enough room.

+ Good ratio of fridge/freezer space

- Doors sometimes hard to open.

+ ice cube trays a good idea. plenty of space. freezer ideal for a 2 person home

+ A decent size Fridge & Freezer. Basic but functional design.

- Taller than some other models

+ Well made, like the ice cube trays in the freezer drawers.

- Tendancy to ice up at the top of the back panel of the fridge

+ High capacity, well laid out storage shelves, electric flex comes in at high level so it doesn't get trapped as you push the fridge/freezer into a 'blind' space.

- Castors on my model seemed a little stiff to rotate.

+ Long lasting

- Old shape

+ well built and low maintence but not enough storage for a family of four. Perfect for singles

+ love the interior space and design

- don.t like ice cube gadget.hard to get ice out and they only make tiny amounts of ice if overfilled they leak!
Outer casing of fridge freezer bit flimsy ours came with couple of dents!

+ Ideal size for kitchen.
Separate trays for vegetables/salads.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ as described.I like the ice cube maker as it fits into the handles of freezer

- makes clicking noises, I thought I had mice until I tracked the noise down!

+ Loads of space for the milk in the door and tall bottles.
Seals on doors are very strong.
Fridge on top stops toddlers raiding the fridge.

- Ice Cube makers on fridge drawers are annoying. When pulling the drawers open in the fridge, the ice cube makers continually fall out.

+ plenty of space

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Small and compact for what we required

- None

+ attractive and efficient

- freezer capacity smaller that thought due to drawers
blue ice cube makers are useless

+ it keeps things cold

- i would not advise changing the doors so they open to the left. Many curses, pints of blood and one frustrating evening later, there are now 2 big holes where the screws used to be.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- we decided to change the doors round but there were no holes drilled the other side which made this a near impossible process and we had to drill our own holes in the fridge!

+ Large Capacity. Runs quietly. Plenty of storage space. Works efficiently.

- Slightly off-white colour. It stands alongside a gloss white larder unit and it appears to be a more greyish colour. Would blend in well with any other coloured kitchen units.

+ Good storage fridge space, also good value for money

- Freezer section not suitable for large items. Trays are too small.

+ very good price and good looking

- the fixed shelfs

+ fits well in my kitchen

- been better if more space for bottles

+ It looks good and designed well.

- None

+ Was value for money at time of purchase
Good storage space

- Still studying it.

+ looks good; good size

+ The fridge is overall very good but is slightly limited on space.

- The amount of frost that builds up in such a short space of time.

+ I like mostly everything about the product.

- Not too sure about ice trays that fit into front of the freezer drawers. Very pretty design but not practical as awkward to fill and to dispense the ice cubes so would have been better with normal type ice trays.

+ a good size fridge & freezer

- Reviewer left no comment

+ size @ quality

- none

+ It has a good capacity for a family household.

- The icecube 'tray' is in ingenious place but not really very practical. I small drawer for icecubes would be a better idea.

+ all good points

- Reviewer left no comment

+ good make good size freezer and fridge

- none

+ Neat and compact. Liked the idea with the ice cubes in the shelf flaps

- Don't have any

+ It is a good size for our family.

- The doors are a pain they swing right open!

+ It's one of very few narrow freezers, and is relatively easy on the eye and not too expensive

- limited space - as to be expected from a narrow unit - but what space there is, isn't made best use of - eg. large light sticking out on top shelf, metal shelves connected together in main freezer area mean you can't put anything large in there - eg. our turkey! and only comes with 2 shelves...

+ Fits exactly into the space vacated by the old built-in fridge freezer, works far more efficiently, the doors open in the same width as the cabinet and it is much quieter.

- The ice cube moulds in the tops of the drawers are not a great success as they are not transparent enough to clearly show the water level before turning horizontal thus more than filling the bulges. It is then impossible to get the ice lumps out by tapping.

+ freezer is great for family of four

- fridge smaller than atticipated

+ Looks good in the kitchen, space inside is very good.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Spacious interior in both the fridge and freezer.Was surprised that it looks deceptively small but can fit quite a bit into it. Nice design,keeps food fresher for longer than alot of other makes of fridge freezer I have used.Great value for money.

- Nothing major, but would have liked the ice boxes which slot into the freezer draws to have a larger capacity.I guess you can't have everything.

+ Brand Name

- none, apart from could have done with the shelves being a bit deeper. Thats my fault not yours.

+ Excellent capacity, much quieter than our old fridge!

- As a petite woman it's pretty much impossible for me to get to the back and underneath to adjust the balance. My old model was adjusted at the front and was much lighter than this one. However I've wedged one of the 2 funny little plastic things that came with it underneath and this works just fine!! I couldn't figure out what they were for anyway!! Also, the ice cube trays are a waste of plastic. Impossible to get the fill level right and they don't come out!! 2 small niggles though. Overall it's excellent!

+ Excellent freezer capacity

- Could realy help having an extra shelf in the fridge. 2 is NOT enough.

+ Well organised, plenty of space inside

- When switching the door around we found that the hole on the opposite side had not been drilled, as it is quite difficult to drill through plastic this made it more difficult.

+ Slim design which fits perfectly into the neat space we had for it.

- Nothing major - just a basic model with nothing fancy.

+ Nice and quiet. Neat, compact design.

- Strange ice cube holders - not sure how useful they'll prove to be.

+ slim enough to fit in most spaces but still has a large fridge and feezer capacity

- none

+ frezer has drawers which is better

- Reviewer left no comment

+ The Fridge is very roomy plenty of space for everything that I want.
The Freezer is fine also. The Drawers are quite deep so one can keep adequate supplies.

- Don't have any yet but I wish I had had the door opening changed.

+ roomy in both fridge and freezer, very quiet, nice and cold, love the inbuilt ice cube trays. Good strong seal on door. Very happy I bought it.

- nothing so far.

+ Nice design, sturdy side shelves and ample room in fridge. Overall nice appearance.

- It is easy to accidentally knock the freidge control, when placing food on the top shelf.
Not fitted as standard with wine/bottle rack
Freezer not as spacious as I thought

+ Compact with good storage space. Easy to keep clean and defrost.

- None found so far

+ Was going to buy a dearer machine. So glad I chose this one.
Cheap, but very good.

- The ice trays in the freezer tray handles are useless.

+ Good 'no frills' value purchase. Quiet motor and nice capacious storage all devoted to straightorward chilling and freezing. If you really want all singing, all tap dancing model with chilled drink/crushed ice dispenser etc., then this is not the model - or price - for you

- None obvious so far

+ Excellent value for money and fitted into the available space in my kitchen!
The freezer drawers are a little deceiving in terms of capacity but other than that - it does exactly what it says on the tin!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good value for money at the moment

- To change the doors to the opposite side was not easy at all...we have done this previously with other makes of fridge/freezers and they were far easier than your product

+ From the outside it looks very good

- It has very small inside which is very off putting

+ excellent value for money. ice cube trays were very useful without taking space up.

- none

+ Space utilisation , big inside small out, you get what you pay for , great at the basics.

- Nothing , you know hat you got

+ nice size for a family. neat and useful compartments. quiet.

- door's a little stiff.

+ Just what i wanted
very good value for money

+ A good fridge freezer overall, plenty of space in both sections

- Only one ajustable foot and it's a near impossability to get the appliance level with out having to wedge the other feet

+ I`ve given it 10/10 all round only had it about 2 months but very satisfied.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Quiet! Sufficient capacity for my needs.Good unpretentious design without bells and whistles (I've become accustomed to the ice maker handles). Good value.

- Hanging doors on opposite side is not as straightforward as the instructions suggest. Holes are not pre drilled. Design of centre hinge means that the position of the holes does not mirror the existing ones. Only one adjustable foot and this is a plastic thread which binds tight; I had to use a substantial tool to make adjustments.

+ There is plenty of space in both the fridge and freezer, good design and easy to keep clean

- It is still quite noisy whilst running, makes quite a few gurggling noises.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- cheese compartment door awkward to open

+ Good build with strong door hinges. Good mechanism for turning light off.

- Narrow fridge with large gaps between fridge shels - could have had another shelf fitted. Coke bottles are longer than depth so door won't shut. Moisture on back wall inside of fridge - all the time. Ice cube trays are pour design, ice very hard to get out.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Did not realise frost free meant only fridge. Freezer will need defrosting apparently

+ excellent buy, loads of room inside the fridge and the freezer section has a superfreeze drawer which comes in handy when you need to chill a bottle of vino!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good Price

- Not enough shelving

+ Bright & spacious. Well thought out.

- Ice cube tubes are difficult to get cubes to unstick.
Bits of drilled plastic shreds left everywhere in freezer. Many to clean out!

+ Good combination of fridge and freezer capacity for a family with an average size kitchen

- Reviewer left no comment

+ large salad bowls
ice cubes built into the freeezer draws

- only two shelfs

+ Good capacity for a small family - there are 3 of us.

- The only slight downside is I would have preferred an extra shelf in the fridge - we end up piling things on top of each other.

+ Very pleased with the fridge freezer.

- The freezer door is very stiff to pull open. The doors don't have handles, but are pulled open using a 'lip' under the doors. This will very probably improve with useage.

+ It doesn't look too massive in the kitchen so it's actually quite deceptive as there's loads of room inside!! We're really happy with it so far (not had it a month yet so can't rate how the freezer will perform over time re frosting up / whatever but seems promising thus far........)

- Not noticed any as yet.....

+ my children loved the built in ice cube trays in the drawers of the freezer!

- freezer space in drawers smaller than previous freezer.

+ Does the job its designed to do - not rocket science.

- None as yet - its still working!

- Both Fridge and Freezer Doors are very difficult to open, after opening and closing either door you have to reset the unit.

+ Very good design plenty of draw space/shelving.
