Design
Refrigerator freezers from Hotpoint are fitted with a variety of modern technologies that keep food fresher for longer. This includes total no-frost to ensure that air is circulated in the appliance so the moisture and ice don't build up, and active oxygen which reduces up to 99 percent of bacteria found in the fridge.
The model comes with two storage compartments in the refrigerator section. The top drawer is equipped with a dial that can adjust the humidity, so fruit and vegetables will keep their crispness longer. The bottom drawer is designed for fish and meat and has an ribbed floor to ensure stability. Both drawers have been made to be larger than the ones found in other models, which means they are easier to store groceries in. Overcrowding in a freezer can cause the cold air to circulate slower, increasing the chances of heat pockets and making the appliance more difficult to operate.
The refrigerator is built with strong French doors that are easy to open and close however they limit the amount of space that can be used by the door. The left door rack can hold a supermarket six pint of milk, and the right door rack can accommodate four pints. There isn't enough room for anything more in the other doors. The top shelf in each door can be adjusted up or down by 5.5cm, but shorter people may find it difficult to reach without a step.
The front panel of the refrigerator cabinet features an LCD control panel that clearly displays the temperature as well as the other essential functions.

Energy efficiency
Refrigerator freezers have evolved from ice boxes that were simple to include a range of features. Nowadays, the primary attention is usually on energy efficiency. It is because refrigerators consume plenty of energy so selecting an energy-efficient model is crucial to reducing your energy costs. You can make your fridge more energy efficient by reducing its temperature (e.g. to 5 or 4 degrees warmer or colder) and removing items that will be rotten within a short time.
It is also possible to make small modifications, like buying fridges that have an A+ rating. This means that the fridge has been independently tested to reduce energy consumption. This will save you money as well as make a tiny impact on the environment.
The energy rating of a fridge is based on how much energy the appliance consumes in a day, but it also takes into account the total energy consumption per year. This is because if the refrigerator is used for a longer period of time, it will use more energy than if it's only used for a short time. This is why it's important to look up the energy label when buying a new appliance.
