Hotpoint FZA34P Under Counter Freezer Freestanding Polar White

"the noise"

Pros: Easy to use

Cons: Noisy

"very noisy on initial start up. Leaflet says this will diminish in a month and it has gone quieter but is still quite noisy. Glad it is in a utility room and not the kitchen. Will call engineer if no improvement in next month."

"Just OK"

Pros: matches my fridge

Cons: Noisy, fast freeze button

"I needed a matching fridge and freezer so was a little restricted on my purchase, I really do not like the FAST FREEZE button as it is often knocked on accidentally by leaning against it! my kids do it - friends etc without knowing, I now notice it making more noise and check it often.(really annoying - and I have only used it once - the first time I filled the freezer)

the bottom draw is very diffcult to push in sometimes, it has to be lined up perfect! something my kids find difficult."

"Satisfactory Would buy again"

Pros: Value for money, Good build quality, looks good

Cons: Noisy

"Replaces 4 small drawers with 3 more capacios ones. This is preferable as bulky storage is easier.

It appears to be a sturdy machine--no complaints

I would prefer a thermometer reading to the meaningless graded numbers it offers.

It is too soon to judge electricity consumption but it is often on---and noisy!

It was competitively priced"

"decent enough in a limited range"

Pros: Easy to use, Quiet

Cons: poor quality, inner compartments-poor build

"the main reason i bought this was because my other appliances are hotpoint, so i thought it would be a good idea to have everythin the same.

unfortunately hotpoint have a very limited range of frost free freezers, so i had to buy this one, even though some of the reviews were not great.

first impression- its quite chunky- we left room for it under the counter, and it fits, width-wise, however it protrudes outwards, which is a bit unsightly- however i notice many appliances nowadays are on the large size.

PROS- its very quite, the door is changeable in case you want to turn it around.

frost free so hopefully will never need cleaning

CONS- the internal cupboards are very poorly built, i have to open and shut them cautiosly because i am afraid they will crack if i use too much force- this is difficult when you have kids co you need to keep an eye on them, and nag them not to slam the compartments.

also the internal space is small compared to non frost-free freezers, i think this has something to do with the larger motors that frost-free's need"

"Surprisingly good value"

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money

"Having always gone for more expensive brands of Fridge or Freezer, I was very pleased to find the Hotpoint Freezer exceptionally good value and can find no fault with drawers or runners which other reviews mention."
