Geoff, Cumnock

+ Very quiet (thought it wasn't working after the noise that our last one made!). Lots of compartments and features. Good manual.

- Slightly awkward design of the interior. Would have liked separate controls for fridge and freezer as well as them being external.

Margaret, Glasgow , “Working Mum ”

+ I love the size of the freezer. The freezer drawers are a good size. The fridge section has lots of good storage ideas. The fridge is very quiet when running. Overall I think it is excellent value for money and I am delighted with the product. Everytime I open the fridge I smile because it is a huge improvement on my last fridge freezer.

- Can't really think on any except maybe it could do with a fast freeze button.

+ The drawers in the freezer are quite deep and easy to pull out. The fridge freezer looks quite smart and is easy to clean. The plastic box is handy for storing raw meat with little risk of contaminating other foods.

- There are a number of gadgets eg.a bottle holder, which take up space (if you fit them) and look as though they will break very easily. The lid on the door shelf at the top does not fit and falls off every time the door is opened.

Tracey, Derbyshire

+ Really nice touches in the interior, such as fold away wine/can holder, cheese/butter dish, cooked meat container, movable egg holder. The ice cube tray is also part of the freezer drawer, quite ingenious design!!

- No bad points I can think of.

Fiona , Essex

+ Features such as the folding egg container and bottle holder are very useful. Also, the meat/cheese removeable container comes in very handy for storage purposes both in and outside the fridge.
In addition, the superfreeze compartment in the freezer is good for a quick chill of drinks and freshly purchased items.
This fridge/freezer is very good value for money.

- Although it is a modern day necessity, the wine rack in the bottom shelf can sometimes get in the way of tall items. The bottom shelf is restricted to a few tall items and mostly smaller bottles or cartons.

+ Built-in Fridge/freezer for my new kitchen. I have always chosen Hotpoint appliances and been pleased with their performance, so do not foresee there being a different view.

- Possibly drawer depth, but appreciate limited space.

Rodney, Gravesend , “Married male 62 ”

+ A very good fridge/freezer design with many good internal features and it is very quite. A great improvement on my last MFI (Hotpoint) one of 7 years ago. There was one internal broken tray on receipt but this was replaced within days by Hotpoint but is the reason for the reduced build quality.

- I had to change the door opening position which is a simple task but the leaflets with the product could do with improvement to explain this and other operating requirements. This is a minor issue.
