It is also a method to preserve food and decrease food waste. In the UK 70 percent of household waste is generated by buying too much food or food that is past its prime when it is consumed.
Other handy features include a dairy compartment ideal to store butter, milk and cheese and an LED light that gives bright, natural-looking lighting for the fridge and freezer sections. The controls are all easy to use and read, and there's even a super cool button that cools new groceries quickly.

Design
Hotpoint fridge freezers come with an array of innovative technology designed to keep food fresher longer. These include total no frost to ensure air is always circulated throughout the appliance to ensure the moisture and ice don't build up and active oxygen that reduces up to 99 percent of the bacteria that can be found in fridges.
This model has two storage compartments inside the refrigerator section. The top one has a dial that adjusts the humidity to help fruit and vegetables keep their crispness longer and the bottom is designed for meat and fish with an easy-to-clean floor to prevent roll. Both drawers have been designed to be larger than the ones found in other models, so they are more convenient to fill with groceries. A freezer that is overcrowded can cause the cold air to circulate less which increases the likelihood of creating heat pockets, making the appliance less efficient to use.
The refrigerator is constructed with sturdy French-style doors that are simple to open and close however, they restrict the amount of space there is available on the door. The left door rack is able to hold the milk from a supermarket in six pints and the right holds four pints, but there's no room for anything more than this in either of the two doors. The top shelf of each door can be adjusted upwards or downwards by 5.5cm however, those who are shorter may find it difficult to reach without a step.
A control panel at the front of the refrigerator cabinet clearly displays all key fridge and freezer functions including the temperature, making it easy to determine if there's a problem. There are other features that make life easier, like the super freeze button which lowers the temperature in the freezer quickly to preserve fresh food and the ice maker that can make up to three kilograms of ice per day.
Hotpoint refrigerators come with a 1-year warranty that covers parts and labor. The customer service team is available to provide assistance and advice in the event of problems with your refrigerator or freezer. They can also arrange for an expert to visit if necessary.
Energy efficiency
Refrigerator freezers have evolved from simple ice containers to include a variety of features. Nowadays energy efficiency is the main focus. This is because refrigerators use plenty of energy, so choosing an energy-efficient model is crucial to saving on your energy costs.

A refrigerator's energy rating takes into account how much the appliance uses during the day however, it also looks at its annual energy consumption. This is because if you use the fridge for a long duration, it will use more energy than it does in a short period of time. This is why it's essential to look up the energy label when purchasing a new appliance.
