This Hotpoint integrated fridge freezer is engineered to provide reliable performance while keeping your food fresh and organized. The Low Frost technology in the freezer compartment means you'll spend less time and effort on defrosting compared to traditional freezers. While it's not completely frost-free, the reduction in ice build-up is a noticeable convenience.
The Fresh Zone drawer is a standout feature for anyone looking to extend the life of their groceries. By maintaining a specific temperature and humidity, it helps keep your salads crisp and vegetables vibrant, reducing food waste and saving trips to the shop. For example, leafy greens placed in this drawer can stay fresh for several days longer than in a standard fridge shelf.
With a total 265L capacity, this appliance comfortably stores groceries for a family. The 163L fridge and 102L freezer are efficiently designed with adjustable shelves in the fridge, allowing you to customize the space for taller items or larger containers. The bright LED lighting ensures that every corner of the fridge is visible, so you won't overlook items at the back, making meal prep and grocery sorting much easier.
