Hotpoint RFA52 Reviews: Tall, White fridge freezer

+ The glass shelves are great making it so much easier to clean - Its tall and so has plenty of shelves in both the fridge and freezer - The door has well designed shelves that can take large bottles and juice cartons

- The fridge part has a clumsy to open shelf at the top of the door - I noticed this before I bought it and decided I would get used to it - I guess in time I will - The fridge is not deep enough front to back to take a 2 litre bottle

+ Lots of space inside and really handy ice cube makers as handles - nice touch! Very nice fridge freezer that more than meets my needs.

- Can't think of any. It was a very good price as well.

+ It has 4 freezer draws, which is good, although only the bottom one is fairly deep. In general it looks nice and is big enough, which is generally what we wanted from a fridge/ freezer. I am happy with it.

- 2 small bad points. The door ice trays- very odd idea and they don't really work. One of ours is frozen into it's slot in the door already and to get the ice cubes out you have to hit them several times against a table or something. Also, the door shelves are just a bit too shallow. I buy four-pint bottlesof milk, and we have 2 different types of milk. The only way they fit into the door is sideways, which then doesn't leave much room for anything else. But, overall, I think this is a good fridge.

+ very nice product looks nice works well

+ good value

- hard to level on floor

+ its pretty average so it replaced my broken one with ease,

- dont like the solid shelves i the fridge, prefer the old wire ones and not so sure about the 4 drawers in the freezer , but it may just be a matter of getting used to somthing different.

+ Glass shelving, Ice cubes on each draw.

- Energy consumption dont know as yet.

+ Good storage capacity and energy efficiency. Reasonably quiet.

- None

+ cheap

- Not much room

+ Fridge - Good sized salad & veg storage, strong door shelves, well set out. Freezer - Good sized freezer storage ideal for a busy family.

- Can't find any.

+ the ice maker inbuilt into drawer is nice feature

- unsure why the fridge section has frozen up at the back as its frost free fridge. should this heppen!

+ One day it will break down and I will have to buy another BETTER fridge/freezer

- Because the appliance only has one levelling foot and my freezer is in a cupboard with an unlevel floor the door of the fridge will not stay open whilst you turn around to put anything in it. I have taken to propping it open with a floor mop, it is the ony way I can put away my shopping. Several people have looked at it for me but nothing can be done. Parts of the freezer drawers have come off and one has broken after landing on the floor. A strip on the glass above the salad drawers constantly falls off.

+ Lots of room

- Freezer drawers a bit shallow

+ good size

- Makes a funny noise which I would told would go but it hasn't.

+ Nice and cold, slim but great storage, looks great, performs!

- Can't think of any!

+ Larger than average, but great

- nil

+ good fridge/freezer in general no complaints

- none

+ The fridge freezer is excellent quality and great for the price. The internal capacity is brilliant and it looks good in my kitchen.

- None

+ Larger than average freezer portion; excellent value for money

- ice cube storage in drawer handles doesn't really work.

+ Perfect size for the space we needed it to fit. Nicely built, it runs quietly, and has several innovative features including ice-cube trays integrated into freezer drawers, and a space for a 2-litre fizzy drink bottle in the fridge door.

- None.

+ good size fridge and freezer

- can be nosiey and always has condensation on the inside back of fridge

+ easy to clean, spacious, simple design;

- frost build-up, lacking antibacterial protection, not properly designed for door reversal (two hours' job), high on energy consumption;

+ Our fridge freezer looks really good and is the perfect size

- Reviewer left no comment

+ A rated efficent,looks well,ice cube makers a good idea and original.

- a tad noisey

+ neat smart compact clever use of front of draws for making ice cubes shame there not that big.

- the one we purchased if you could call it a bad point makes a funny noise from time to time a soft squeeking noise........

+ It has fast freeze built in allowing me to freeze items alot quicker. It also has enough storage space for my shopping. It's quiet and energy efficient.

- Not keen on the ice-tray's. I find them difficult to judge the amount of water that should be in them. Also when frozen, the ice is very difficult to get out of the tubelor trays.

+ pretty spacious, well designed

- Reviewer left no comment

+ looks good - well made - got everything i need

- nothing

+ Pretty good internal space for such a compact fridge/freezer.
Ice trays are an excellent use of space but slightly awkard to use on first attempt.
Looks smart and silver front doesn't fingerprint easily.

- Freezer boxes are fairly small but still relatively good for a fridge/freezer of this size.
No major grumbles so far...

- Small capacity of freezer

+ Great price
Good use of space
Freezer drawer handles double up as ice cube trays - good idea.

- None so far.

+ It fitted what I required - reasonable price with appropriate capacity for both fridge and freezer compartments.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ It does exactly what it says on the Tin! - OK - labels then :o)

- None so far

+ SIZE - Many fridge/freezers I looked at were very wide. This one fits into the narrow space I had available in my kitchen.
I run my fridge on the 'warmest' setting but everything is still kept very cold and fresh.

- It is slightly worrying that the fridge has ice forming on the back wall. The instructions say that this is normal but it still makes me unhappy.

+ Good space, and good hight especially for old people.

- Freezer draws can bo a bit stronger.

+ Good capacity - fridge well designed so you can get loads in.

- Drawers in freezer could be designed better to allow more room for storage.

+ Very efficiant with good capacity.

- The dimensions quated did not allow for the vent gaps.

+ It fits well into my kitchen and does the job well it is also very quite running

- none at the moment

+ Good capacity for size of fridge freezer. Especially like the ice cube trays under the shelves.

- difficult to regulate temperature. milk freezes!!

+ Reviewer left no comment

- freezer could be slight larger

+ capacity, price - good value for money, colour/good finish (silver), ease of use, does the job!

- not found any bad points, but a slight negative is that bit hard to move (ie when want to clean behind/under)

+ Looks good. Is easy to clean. The ice trays are great.

- Shame the capacity isn't slightly bigger

+ Plenty of storage. Reliable (so far!)

- Not a no frost fridge freezer.

+ it is smart looking space saving lenty of room in both fridge and freezer

- none

+ My ratings ineach area refer! Excellent all round, very, very impressive for the price.

+ Excellent compartments, good space throughout with adjustable and safe shelves. No slats in the shelves, so thing's do not fall through the holes! Freezer drawers are sturdy and spacious and the ice trays are ingenious!

- None that I can think of, perhaps an open compartment at the bottom of the freezer, so without a drawer would have been helpful.

+ It looks really good in the kitchen and is very user friendly. It keeps a good temperature all the time and is so silent.

- no handle on the door, just a ridge at the bottom and the top, but not really a problem

+ Nice design, good quality make

- Reviewer left no comment

+ A well designed product with a 50-50 balance,most fridge freezers have a small freezer compartment
which makes it not very usable.The overhaul space is very good due to a good design,four good size freezer boxes,auto defrost,reversable door and almost silent.It is also very nice to look at.
f

- I cannot think of a bad point.

+ Simple design. Good capacity in fridge and freezer

- Ice "trays". Ice is difficult to remove from tray (ends up half melted) Also difficult to read water level and fill line of tray. Would recommend buying separate ice trays.

+ Very compact if your limited with your space,handy ice cube makers in the drawers.

- fridge door swings back too far,too many draws in freezer restricting space,only two shelves in fridge.

+ capacity in fridge and freezer very good

- A little bit noisy

+ Simple to use; high quality product. My last one of these lasted almost 20 years!

- Not the most energy efficient, but I couldn't afford those that were.

+ Nice layout, glass shelves, does exactly what it says on the tin.

+ Good fridge ,quiet, vegetables keeps fresh and crisp good build suitable for space saving Freezer compartments are good just enough for two people

- freezer not suitable for a large turkey. not recommended for large families.

+ plenty of storage space in fridge. I like the two salad drawers instead of one larger one.

- freezer doesn't hold as much as it looks as if it should. I find the clear plastic cover to the butter compartment in the door difficult to open.

+ Looks quite good and was cheap.

- Ice build up in the fridge compartment almost immediately.

+ Size and style

- The fridge could do with being smaller and the freezer larger

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The freezer drawers are a little bit small, I don't think they'd be any good for a family.

+ The silver is a nice clean look. Lots of room in the fridge section.

- Freezer a little smaller than I imagined, but still a decent size. The ice-cube racks in the freezer are fiddly and make very small ice-cubes.

+ value for money five years parts garantee big enough for two people but would have gone for a larger model if i had more then two people in my household.

- none

+ 55cm Wide so fitted in my annoying sized fridge hole perfectly. Unlike most 55cm fridges the height and space was not compromised.
Super-freeze section (has on/off switch) and ice compartments are useful
Shelves nice and solid

- Nearly choked the first time I used ice-compartment, some offcuts of the plastic were loose so make sure you wash it out before using for first time.

+ Plenty of room in fridge despite only having 3 shelves.

- Don't like ice cube trays in freezer doors.

+ The Capacity of both fridge and freezer is great, freezer works really well.

- Not too sure of the fridge, as my tomatoes went mouldy in it.

+ does the job well for its size

- ice cube makers are more trouble than they are worth

+ good size for cost

- Not keen on the glass shelves. Concern about them getting broken, would prefer the plastic coated wire rack type.

+ excellent in all respects

- none yet found

+ lots of space in this fridge area removeable shelves and to large draws at the bottom also you get a 5 year warrenty on parts but not labour and i ordered it off line which saved on a bit on money

- not really found any bad points just when we moved in to position it was loud only because the fridge was right up to the wall so if you get one of these just move it away

+ Stylish with a nice lot of storage space

- Bit too tall for our kitchen!

+ This Hotpoint F/F has been around for years. Ok it's not frost free, but the frezzer and fridge capacity is by far better. Like the glass shelves and the beer containers...opps I mean split salad containers.

- Built in ice maker, don't over fill it (gets messy)

+ Spacious, slim line, includes ice trays, lots of shelves, reasonable price, 2 salad drawers, easy to use.

- noisy when the fast freeze facility is on as it makes a cracking sound, which is quite disturbing, ice forms on the back of the fridge too so can't push items all the way back, it doesn't come with adjustable feet.

+ Size of fridge/freezer is good, it fits in the gap in my kitchen. Half fridge/half freezer design is also good. Would have preferred freezer to be a little larger. Comes in white and silver colours.

- Freezer section could be larger and draws could be deeper. Ice cube tray design quirky but not really practical. Egg section drop down lid at top of fridge is not easy to open. Silver colour not as readily available as the white colour.

+ Great product as a very reasonable price.
2 x Independant fruit & veg draws in the larder/fridge section.

+ Excellent Storage capacity within the Fridge

- With all the compartments in the freezer having drawers there is less storage space than previous fridge freezer compartment.
