Hisense RQ560N4WC1 80cm Free Standing American Fridge Freezer Cross Door - Total No Frost - My Fresh Choice - Non-plumbed Water Dispenser - Stainless Steel, 452Liters

Product Information

Here’s an affordable American-style fridge freezer with bags of features and plenty of chilling space to boot. It’s split 65/35 in favour of the fridge, and boasts some 556 litres of usable capacity for food storage on an epic scale. More advanced than ordinary frost-free, the innovative Total No Frost Technology from Hisense circulates cold air evenly throughout your fridge and freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming, so there's no need to ever manually defrost. These fridge freezers look great. We have a fantastic range of colours and styles, which means side by side models can become the centrepiece of your kitchen. This model comes with a much wider interior space offering you much greater storage allowance. Just the thing you need when you have lots of food to keep fully fresh. Despite the scope and flexibility of the dual control freezers, we suspect most people will default to setting the right side freezer to -18 oC and simply use it as traditional freezer space. I say this as we found that, in reality, 71 litres of day-to-day freezer space is pretty tight for even a small family. So while the idea of soft-scoop ice cream is appealing, the reality is that 142 litres of proper freezer space over six drawers is just much more practical. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How noisy is it?

Bigger fridge freezers such as the RQ560N4WC1 have to work very hard to achieve an A+ (or better) energy rating due to the larger surface area of the appliance taking on heat from the surrounding kitchen. We set up our test fridge-freezers in an environmental chamber kept at 18-19 oC to imitate an average UK kitchen. We run the unit for several days, opening each compartment six times per day. The right-hand side of the freezer proved a little more variable, but still very good compared to the market average at this price. The top drawer was the most variable at +3/-7 degrees on its -12 oC average, while the lowest drawer fared better with just a +1/-4 degree waver from its -14 oC average.Both freezers offer three drawers, the upper of which is an open-style bin for easy access. The lower left drawer houses a removable “twist and serve”-style ice cube maker and both compartments offer LED illumination – which we so rarely see in a freezer. Top marks all round, Hisense. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How much can you fit in?

Style and SpaceLast year we said Hisense’s FMN432A20C offered great features and impressive performance at a very attractive price. The new RQ560N4WC1 builds on the four-door French-Style theme with outstanding flexibility, excellent lighting in the fridge and freezer, and a new chilled-water container with handy dispenser on the front door. This fridge freezer also claims to have frost-free multi-airflow cooling, which should minimise maintenance. Fuss-free and intuitive control of the entire operation is via a touch control on the left-hand door. Read the full review

Twist ice cube trays can make a large volume of ice at once. A simple rotation will result in the ice cubes to drop into the ice box below. So even if you fancy a cold drink, your drinks will be beautifully chilled. Choosing to use this special feature allows you to empty the fridge when you're away for a longer period of time. The internal temperature of the fridge is automatically switched to 15°C whilst keeping the freezer working. No more nasty odours or the formation of mould, your fridge and its contents remain fresh saving you both energy and money.

This means that you will never have to defrost again saving you both time and money. Given the sheer size of the freezer overall, though, these open top bins actually proved super-handy, so they got a thumbs-up in the end. The drawers below were fairly basic and, like the salad bins in the fridge, take a good solid tug to open and close when fully loaded. The bottom right compartment allows you to switch from a soft freeze to deep freeze depending on your requirements without compromising on freshness. This feature allows you to change the temperature settings from anyway between -5 to -18 °C The large fridge fared very well, with a narrow spread of temperatures from top to bottom and a mean average of pretty much 4 oC. Both salad drawers averaged just below 4 oC, which is ideal for salads and fresh fruit, and varied by just +/- 1 oC throughout. Simply fill the internal reservoir with fresh water and get perfectly cooled water at the touch of a button with our built-in water dispenser.
