    Nightmare is an understatement. do not buy this product unless you wish to defrost every 6 weeks, put up with warm food, ice cream like whipped cream and warm milk on your cereal!! have insurance with domestic and general which is useless too! waiting for an engineer coming for the 3rd time to have another guess as to what the problem is. they seem to be happy to play russian roulette with my familys health. have had this problem for 6 months now. given up hope on it ever getting fixed and beyond fed up so looking into buying another fridge freezer which is not hotpoint! wish we had known how bad this product is before wasting money on it. be good to your health and wallet and do not buy!!!

    The Hotpoint FF175B is very poorly designed. Freezer draws don't open far enough, so it's fiddly getting food in and out. As mentioned by other reviewers, it's very noisy. Circulation fan is louder than the compressor. It is also unreliable. Only 2 years old and now waiting for the 3rd visit from Hotpoint to repair fault. Love the look of it, but would definately avoid. Very disappointed.

    The Hotpoint FF175B fridge freezer is exceptionally noisey and will keep you awake at night if situated below your bedroom. Apart from this it works well. I would not have bought it had I known how noisey it is!

    The Hotpoint FF175B has some useful features, eg ice cube trays that fit in the freezer box fronts. But the fact that the compressor was failing from the word go (48 hours to freeze bread!) and that it failed completely 2 weeks after purchase really let it down. Wouldn't buy Hotpoint again, or would I buy anything from COMET as customer service very poor

    I bitterly regret having bought this Hotpoint FF175B.We have had this fridge freezer for one week only and it is driving us to distraction. We had no idea of the awful noises that would plague us day and night (humming, clicking) at an alarming frequency. I called an engineer who indicated that there is nothing wrong with the cooling system, according to him frost free technology means that fridge freezers are now a lot noiser. I am sure that this appliance is exceptionally noisy and I woul ...

    Our Hotpoint FF175B fridge isn't cold but the freezer is working fine. Spoke to Hotpoint service and they want £110.00 call out. Spoke to a local repairer who said switch it off for 24 hours and defrost the freezer and it should work fine. Why couldn't Hotpoint tell us that? Our 1 year warranty expired in July 2008 and now this happens after 16 months.

    same issue with my Hotpoint FF175B as previous reviewer... the compressor seems to kick in an awful lot and it's pretty noisy. I get the same 'ping pong ball noise as well. If I'd known it was going to be this noisy I'd have got a different one.

    I took delivery of this Hotpoint FF175B fridge freezer yesterday. Aye, it looks good and suits my requirements re size, but the noise it makes when I presume the compressor has kicked in is driving me bananas! As it nears the end of the cooling process there is a clicking sound which I can only describe as being like a ping-pong ball bouncing around inside the workings at the back of the machine. I'd like to know if any other buyers have noticed the same thing? Hopefully my ears will become ...

    Our Hotpoint FF175B fridge/freezer began giving problems after 18 months. In the past six weeks we have had four calls by Hotpoint engineers for repair to the fridge/freezer. Each time the engineer has assured us that the fault was rectified and each time it has worked for up to a week (sometimes less).
    Today the engineer has had to contact Hotpoint help line and has been told to order a part which will not be available for another week. In the meantime, we are throwing away good food or havi ...

    Hotpoint should take this model away from me and replace with better one. Build up the ice from the freezer, than the fridge does not get cold. My last defrost was on March 2008 and today again.

    Looks good. I bought this brand mostly because of my previous experience of Hotpoint products. I think this must be a big mistake by allowing this inferior fridge freezer on the market. Fridge fails constantly due to build up of ice from the freezer. Must be defrosted on a regular basis.
