Hotpoint RLA34 White Freestanding Under counter fridge Reviews

+ light inside, spacious, nice shelves, door opens smoothly, works well and looks good.

- none

+ The capacity is well designed, especially the door and splt shelving. Really like the internal thermometer guage which gives a good indication of how well the fridge cools and the internal temperature.

- Salad crisper drawer is not strong enough and may well need replacing more than once during the life of the fridge. A stronger split drawer system might be better. Machine quite noisy. Shelves could do with a raised strut towards the rear so that food does not get pushed back onto back causing ice to build up internally. Bottle holder surperfluous.

+ Good loooking fridge but a but big if you have limited space, excellend capacity,

- One to watch for is you need to let it settle for a few hours when delivered as the gases mix when disturbed and the fridge will not work if you plug in straight away. I suppose this applies to all fridges and freezers.

+ External control for unit coolness

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Free 5 year parts guarantee.

- None.

+ Good temperature level - does the job well.

- Fiddly control for temperature located on the outside - not too clear about the 'standard' setting - instructions poor in relation to which number is the 'average/standard' set.

+ Good space and shelf positions make it easy to see and organise your food and drink. Maintains temp well and has good strong door seal.

+ Good size and very efficient

- the milk holder on the door could do with being the full lenght of the door not just the left side

+ Have a Upright freezer in garage-Kitchen;-had a fridge with freezer compartment which kept freezing & needed defreezing all the time!!-so decided fridge only-more space for chill items.

- Somtimes when all quiet (TV off etc)it makes a whining noise when all quiet you can hear it late at night-early in morning-other than that its what I wanted-loads of chill.

+ Overall capacity

- Door shelves could be more adjustable. Tall bottles are restricted to a small number.

+ theres alot of space inside the fridge and doors. its easy to keep clean. ad with the wheels on the bottom it's easy to move.

+ plenty of space

- the inner glass shelves are noisy when you put things on them,plastic may be better.

+ Beautiful design and moveability of shelving and an interior light which many of this price range so not have.
Clear shelving in door as well as main compartment enable you to see contents clearly.

- Slightly noisy motor which I haven't encountered in refrigerators in the last 40 years!
Salad crisper drawer is L shaped which loses 1/4 of it's capacity.

+ Maximum fridge space. Excellent storage.

- You can't move the height of the door trays.

+ well made

- a little noisy

+ it defrosts itself. split shelf.

- although we researched it first, by measuring and comparing with our old one, it appears to be quite a bit smaller, though on paper it appeared to be bigger. the salad container is a weird shape. you lose space in the door shelves, by 2 of them being separated.

+ Loads of storage space - more than other fridges which outwardly look the same size.

- The handle for the salad drawer is at the bottom, so you need to bend right down to open it. It would be easier if it was at the top of the drawer.

+ Spacious and low energy consumption.

- Quiet fridge but slight "gurgling" sound when it is running is mildly irritating!

+ Very stylish design - looks good in my kitchen - silver - not stainless steel which is a pain to keep clean.

- Makes a gurgling noise when it's cooling itself - which can become a nuisance.

+ brilliant veggie compartment.

- bad shelf positioning in door.

+ This product has lots of shelf space, and lots of door space too for bottles and jars. The biggest bonus is the amount of food you can actually get in it.

- It can be difficult to see to the back because the shelves are designed with white PVC around the edge and across the middle of some shelves. It is also a shame that the bottom salad drawer isn't actually two drawers as the entire drawer is difficult to open if it is full.

+ The door capacity is good compared to my last fridge

- It's very noisy.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- sounds a little noisey,whiring sound

+ Good capacity, well designed interior layout (split shelf), wheels at rear of unit very helpful when positioning, easy to change door hinges.

- Anti rattle bottle device keeps falling off.

+ all i want in a fridge 

- none

+ the salad tray using the most of the space, being able to move the shelves

- if you move the draw above the milk storage and put this to the left with the other shelf to be able to put something larger in tray at the bottom of door you cannot then get the 4 pint milk in!

+ Holds a lot of food, is smart and good looking when on show in the kitchen, has quite a lot of doorspace which I find unusual and, haivng done my homework before I purchased, was the best of buys when I bought it.

- The ONLY bad point and it IS a bad point is the flimsy salad drawer. This could surely have been re-enforced at the front edge, where it is most likely to get wear. If I drop (say) a perspex/plastic(?) bowl in my kitchen its likely to bounce, if this is dropped its likely to smash.

+ Easy to use and looks good.

- None

+ The product was as described and was in good order

- none

+ The fridge is the best we could find for the space we need, it fits so much more in it than our old fridge, is briliantly designed and well worth the money

- Reviewer left no comment

+ OK FOR THE SIZE OF FRIDGE REQUIRED

- SMALL SALAD BIN DUE TO BEING ABLE TO TAKE IT OUT WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN ONLY 90 DEGREES. WOULD LIKE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE A FULL SIZE BIN.

+ Good capacity

- motor a little loud

+ this fridge is fantastic, it's nice and deep with plenty of room, I like the veg tray as it's conviently shaped to maximise storage, all in all a top product

- None

+ The salad drawer is ideal for those long items.

- none that I have come across.

+ keeps food cold!

- door has a tendancy to not swing all the way shut when pushed and stay open about an inch.
it's quite noisey comapred to previous Hotpoint Ice Diamond. Sound's like my stomach is rumbling

+ Good storage space in door for milk and other bottles
Wide and easy to few

- You got to bend down to clean

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Salad draw could be a better fuller shape to allow more space.

+ modern stylish design

- door handles awkward to use, salad drawer is very small and to pull it out you have to reach right to the bottom,available space has not been used to full potential, eg salad drawer and shelves could have been bigger as there is quite a bit of room between shelves and door when closed.

+ flat shelf on bottom of product allows bottles to stand up if required.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ internal size for family of two.

- none, had one before.

+ excellent looking fridge, matches freezer, well laid out

- could do with a bigger capacity

+ The amount of space the drawer at the bottom which you can pull out - on our last fridge you had to take out the bottom shelf

- The blue plastic bit at the bottom of the fridge which is supoosed to hold the bottles is frankly poor as it does not stay in properly

+ price.looks

- door design not great, especially the opening handle which is narrower towards the outer edge (where you put most pressure for leverage) causing fingers to slip off as you try to open the door also door pockets can't be adjusted to keep a 4 pint milk bottle in it's most useful place ie at the bottom & nearest the outside.

+ LOOKS GOOD.LOTS OF SPACE INSIDE.VALUE FOR MONEY

- NOT TO KEEN ON THE SALAD DRAWER AT THE BOTTOM.

+ IT IS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY, NOTHING BAD

+ Good size and neat for an under-counter fridge.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Ease of access and holds more than my previous unit - it has replaced an integrated fridge on which the door was exceptionally heavy and which had less capacity in the same space.

- The temperature 'OK' indication has been relocated to a less convenient position than on an earlier version of a fridge of this same model which I already have in use in a different part of my house.

+ Satisfectory Unit reason fof purchase

- I am of the opinion the stand (legs) should be designed with wheels on the rear of unit this would improve siting the fridge into the kitchen units.

+ Excellent storage space and lovey design.

- Can be very noisy at times.

+ Lovely and spacious

- always has condensation at the back.

+ I love the room inside, the way the door shuts firmly I just love it!

- haven't found any yet, but it has made me want to buy the matching freezer!

+ i think hotpoint is very good make ,ihave several items made by hotpoint and find they are very reliable. ifind the design of the fridge is very good it seems to have plenty of shelf space

- do not have any

+ Cheap but good.

- handle for salad draw so low to the ground
