Axlebert's review of Hotpoint FF175B

“Compressor knackered after 4 years”

★★☆☆☆

written by Axlebert on 10/12/2013

I bought this in 2009 and the compressor is now shot 4 years later. Same problems as the reviews above: blows fuses frequently but irregularly. Got to the point last week when I replaced the fuse 4 times, so time for a new fridge. I think 4 years life span is extremely poor for an appliance that costs hundreds of pounds. I'll be avoiding Hotpoint appliances in the future - I think they're built in Poland nowadays.

A number of people have mentioned the noise of the compressor, but I must admit this has never bothered me. It's definitely audible however, and I'd imagine it's at the top of the decible range for a fridge freezer (50db+).

Other than that it's been great. If you're buying this second hand, avoid.
