+ No handle jutting out, fits well with my kitchen

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Easy to keep clean, adequate space for two adults provisions. Quiet...no noise, no drips, fits under work top...no hassel in setting up. Good selection of chill settings. sturdy shelves, easy wipe....large enough salad draw, seperate egg storage... good bottle sstorage for my needs.

- None so far... happy with it thanks.... does what it says on the tin.

+ many good points

- the one bad design feature is the light is not inside the fridge so it is difficult to see some of the food at the rear

+ Reviewer left no comment

- poor lighting inside

+ Reviewer left no comment

- the light that comesw on when the door is opened does light up the inside of the fridge enough

+ a class

- glass shelves, light outside

+ It is very compact and I like the new glass sheves, which make it easier to keep clean.

+ I particularly like the salad box at the bottom of the fridge which keeps lettuce fresh for ages.

+ Price

- Fixed shelves, heavy door.

+ Its a fridge-it does the job.

- Drop down holder in door cavity is unneccessary and slightly impacts on in-door capacity.

+ I liked the removeable shelves for easy cleaning especially in in the door. it looks smart and is versitile.

- the bottle rack did not come with the appliance and has still not been received. there is an additional flip down compartment in the door which I may well remove as it is irritating and of no use to me

+ Good use of Space. Nice touches like water bottle side rack.

- Would have been nice to have a seperate cheese compartment but at this price, no problem.

+ good space for storage neatly designed

- none

+ good in-door space, good value

- the position of the light renders it pointless. A bottle of pop can only fit diagonally on the shelf, hence taking up more room than is necessary.

+ Very attractive looking fridge

- Not enough shelves my last fridge had 3 shelves this only has 2

+ Everything

- None

- interior light is not well positioned.

+ Large capacity.Solid shelves.Generally seems robust.

- Not particularly bad- but the shelves do not slide in,which is different,and you have to make sure you keep hold of the shelf once you have released it from the rear recesses that it fits into.. Also an odd tiny little "drop" shelf in the door shelf space.

+ Hotpoint is always a good make to go for. The fridge is sturdy, and easily movable shelfs. Good Buy.

+ A rating
Interior of door is good
Shelving is very good

- None noted so far

+ Lots of space and capacity. Looks good. Very pleased.

- None.

+ Aesthetically pleasing. Quiet. Pipe work inside is covered (not visible). Energy saving. Capacity is actually bigger than it looks.

- Maybe I need more time to adjust the temperature regulation but it seems to be colder at the back of the fridge than at the front (I had the setting on 2.5 and some of the produce at the back on the bottom shelf was frozen when I took it out)

+ Cover over dairy products.

- Needs more height adjustment on internal shelves.

+ Meets the need

- All is ok

+ Good Energy rating.
No defrosting to do.
Hope it lasts as long as model it is replacing-30 years!

- Glass shelves-prefer wire ones.
Smaller capacity to old one for size available under work surface.
Would prefer more space for bottles in the door.

+ Good size salad box at bottom of fridge

- Not enough shelf space in door, could have uses deeper shelves to incorporate eggs and drinks, space imbetween main shelves not enough, another 1" would have made a lot of difference to what you store in there

+ Lots of storage. Glass shelves keep everything equal temperature & much better than my old fridge.

- Plastic 'gadgets' to add to doors take up too much room.

+ It is surprisingly capacious for its overall size, and the interior is well-designed to maximise usable space. The use made of storage space on the door is particularly good.

- An extra shelf in the main body of the fridge would be useful.

+ Good appearance with solid action door

- Silly tray in door which only gets in the way

+ Great price, basic Fridge, quiet operation and easyto set up.

- Maybe could do with another shelf

+ lots of storage space

- Reviewer left no comment

+ value for money

- design of door storage space

- poor position of light,

+ good value for money

- the interioir light could be more effective.It's too dull and in the wrong position for lighting up the interior.

+ The product fulfils all my expectations of it.

- The fridge light is in a rather peculiar place and does not reach the whole of the interior.

+ A good overall fridge and great value for money

- None

+ Well made product, giving excellent value for money.

+ Good capacity, clean lines and good sized freshfood box

- none, except would welcome another removable shelf

+ adequete space for our requirements. not to large so that it looks out of place in the kitchen. works well no problems as yet.

- no bad points

+ Capacity well utilised.

- Positioning of light.

+ good for all round storage

- could do with one more shelf

+ Range of programs and the quietness

- powder draw is tight and powder gets into the liquid area, clogging it. the draw will not dismount to allow for cleaning

+ Good product at a good price. Seems good quality - I'll confirm that in a few years time!

- None

- the door does not close properly

+ The look of it, Hotpoint is a good make. Fits neatly under work top.

- Wish it was on rollers so it would be easy to pull out and clean behind. Apart from that a good buy!

+ The product fullfills all it said it would and I am very happy with it.

- The sticker on the front is awful to get off. This could easily be changed to one that didn't leave residies of glue that take ages to scrub off.

- Glass shelves:coverd door compartment

+ it has plenty of room on the door for milk bottles etc and has a cover over the space for butter. It even has a container for eggs.

- No where big enough to put lemonade bottles except lying down on the shelf

+ Its great to be able to get a good quanity of food in the fridge. I can do my shopping once a week at the weekend and still have room in the fridge to store left overs from weekend meals.

+ smart, clean looking design

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very smart looking fridge with deceptively big storage area both on shelves and door.

- May have benefited from a wine rack.

+ Value for money for self defrosting fridge.

- Bad design.( egg box badly sighted andbottle storage area not tall enough.)

+ Few other makes fitted the space available. Our last Hotpoint fridge lasted 21 years!!

- The location of the inside light (at the very front) means it is very difficult to see anything situated inside beyond the first couple of inches. Our solution will be to now go out and buy pull-out baskets so we don't 'loose' anything at the back!

+ Excellent price and fits neatly into (ltd) space where old fridge was (fitted kitchen)

- Lighting poor (on door not inside fridge)
Depth between shelves very limited
Very strange placement of egg holder shelf on door basically dividing the middle in half of the deep/bottle holding shelf

+ This is a great product. It's very spacious for its footprint. Go on and buy it - you wont be disappointed.

- The Butter dish is pretty redundant if you keep a lot of tall items in the door - such as a 6 pint milk bottle etc as these taller items impede the dish opening - we just removed ours as there is plenty of space in the door shelf anyway. Having said that, in every respect this fridge is excellent: we brought the fridge to keep our food cool - not too have a specific butter dish holder in the door!

+ For our purpose it is an excellent purchase. Plenty of storage space neat and compact.

- The only thing that is a nuisance is the egg compartment.

+ Plenty of usable room. Easy to wipe down shelfing

- Light position means illumination slightly restricted

+ Nice design

- External light

+ Quiet

- Less capacity than the previous model that I had before

+ value for money. plenty of room for storage

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Historically a reliable brand, and good looks.

- Bought as a replacement for a unit which was the same size, but the capacity is poor. The door seal cannot be replaced on this unit, you would have to have a complete new door!
