Iv no idea what anybody is complaing about with this frost free freezer as me & the wife have had this machine for over 4 years & love it, we don't overfill it we clean it when it needs cleaning & we have no problem with ice build up at all, we would definitely recommend this freezer to anybody who is looking for a freezer for there home, this was our 1st appliance for our new home & the best yet, Deep spacious freezer draws, wine or juice rack, veg boxes, 3 glass selves, indoor selves, great graphite colour, a really good bargain at a price of just over £500. I hope this little bit of info has helped you in making your choice

“Best Fridge Freezer I have ever owned. Silent running...”

★★★★★

written by on 29/05/2010

Best Fridge Freezer I have ever owned. Silent running - antibacterial lining means reduced cleaning and frost free means I dont have to defrost every 6 months.

I would definitely recommend this fridge freezer and I have always bought hotpoint appliances.

“Contrary to everyone else, I like this product. I...”

★★★★★

written by Philip2648 on 19/11/2009

Contrary to everyone else, I like this product. I like the easy clean exterior and the 'Microban' interior. I have never had a problem with the freezer icing up as I switch it off for deep cleaning about once a month for 30 minutes and this seems to allow the condenser to free itself of ice build up. In my experience of both domestic and commercial frost free 'fridges they all need some maintainance every now and then. Though to leave one off for 24 hrs is a bit over the top. Common sense is all that is required.

Perhaps this gentleman works in the trade? I clean my appliance regularly, every 10-12 weeks when it ices up and has to be unplugged for 24 hours (advice given to me by a fridge-freezer ENGINEER RECOMMENDED to me by the SHOP I BOUGHT THE FRIDGE FREEZER FROM!!!). When I ask people what they EXPECT from the WORDS: "FROST-FREE", they all reply the same: "The appliance should not need defrosting - that's what you pay more for!" You can't have it BOTH WAYS, ie: CHARGE MORE for a "Frost-Free" appliance and then tell customers "It has to be regularly, no sorry, MONTHLY, defrosted" and then say that's normal. What sort of fools do you take us for? LOOK UP THE OPERATIONS MANUAL, IT DOESN'T MENTION DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE ANYWHERE IN IT.
<br/>
<br/>FINALLY, AS COMMON SENSE WAS MENTIONED IN YOUR REPORT, LET'S APPLY SOME:
<br/>A Model that needs defrosting, is done from the FRONT OF THE MACHINE, not from the BACK - as is the case with the FF187E. My old Zanussi model (bless it, it worked faultlessly for 14 years with about 2 easy defrosting sessions a year - give me that one back any day!) COULD BE DEFROSTED FROM THE FRONT WITHOUT HAVING TO BE MOVED. IT HAD A GROOVE TO COLLECTED THE WATER AND A DRIP TRAY. What does the FF187E have? Nothing helpful! It has to be manoeuvred forward, and it's quite a bulky machine, then the water collects in the most pathetic excuse for a drip tray on the bottom right hand corner, which you either siphon the water out of or use a sponge, as I do, which is both awkward and tiresome as you can barely get 2 fingers into it at a time. The residue of the water spills out from under the freezer, leaving a great mess. Otherwise, you unscrew it, which I don't fancy attempting as I don't know how easy it is to put it back on again. SO, I ASK YOU, HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? THIS MODEL WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO BE DEFROSTED AND IN THAT RESPECT IS NOT AT ALL USER FRIENDLY.

I found this review not helpful because.he is talking nonsense. A frost-free fridge freezer implies it does not need any form of defrosting and the model he is talking about is not designed to be defrosted and having to do it is a most awkward experience. If you want to buy a model that needs defrosting, you generally pay less for it and find that the defrosting operation is done from the front in a user-friendly way and the process is detailed in the operations manual. This is not the case for this model which can only be defrosted from the back entailing having to pull it away from the wall and making the maximum amount of mess.

How do you reverse the doors? I can move the 2 top door hinges no problem, but the hinge on the bottom door I can get off but can't swap it across to the other side because the screws won't tighten, there seems to be no threads in the holes the screws just turn.
