1. Cost

They really are not too expensive if you compare them to other side by side fridge freezers. They range in price from around 690GBP for the Hotpoint MSZ 801 to 1000GBP for the MSZ 806 DF. If you are looking for one with a water and ice dispenser then the least expensive one is the Hotpoint MSZ 802 DF, which goes for approximately 850GBP.

2. Size

Each one of the 6 models has the same external dimensions, namely: 177cm high, 90.2cm wide and 68cm deep (although with the handles it will be 75.2cm deep). You should also leave another 2cms all around the unit in order for it to function optimally. With these large fridge freezers, you really have to check that your kitchen is adequate for them. Check also that the entrance to your house is wide enough for them to enter through.

3. Storage Capacity

All units have the same net storage capacity for the fridge – 335 litres. As far as the net freezer capacity goes, there is a difference between the models that have a water and ice dispenser and those that do not. Those that have a dispenser, their net freezer capacity is 187 litres, whereas those without the dispenser are a little larger – 206 litres. Keep in mind that even 187 litres is way bigger than what you would get with a standard fridge freezer.

4. Colours

There is a choice of 4 different colours amongst the Hotpoints: Stainless steel, white, silver and black. The Hotpoint MSZ 802 is stainless steel, MSZ 802 is white, MSZ 803D DF is silver and the MSZ 806 DF is black.

5. Water and Ice Dispenser

Apart from the Hotpoint MSZ 801 and 802 each one of the models have a water and ice dispenser. This is one of the features that certainly makes it worth while getting a American fridge freezer. Bottled water will be a thing of the past, while saving you a lot of space in your fridge.

6. Energy Ratings

This is an important issue for both you and the ecosystem when you are running such a big appliance. All Hotpoint side by side fridge freezers have an ‘A’ ranking with an annual energy consumption of 507 Kwh.

7. Extra Features

* Super Cool takes the fridge down to its lowest temperature. This is very useful when restocking or when the door is left open for a long time.

* Super-fast freezing will take the freezer down to very low temperatures. Fresh food which is being frozen will retain its full flavour when this feature is activated.

* Holiday setting is used to keep your empty fridge operating at 12 degrees Celsius to save power while you are away from home for a long time. The freezer will operate as usual.

* Digital display makes it possible for simple and accurate reading of your refrigerator and freezer temperatures.
