Hotpoint RL175

Terrible quality,Custer service is awful

Had this model less than a year. Thermostat failed twice. Now two years in this fridge is still freezing certain areas of the fridge, other times it's too hot. Lots of food spoilage. Please avoid. Looks the part but is absolute rubbish quality and poor customer service.

I bought the fridge and freezer the fridge handles are a joke.

We have peplaced it 5 times now given up with handles just useing the door side to open it just to dear in parts.

The bottom veg box was replaced 3 times.

The fridge is a good size pity the quality is just not there.

The freezer is just as bad all the drawers are broken

The handle on these fridges are absolutely weak and the price for a new one is criminal

We got our fridge as a replacement through appliance cover. The previous Hotpoint had 2 replacement condensers and many replacement plastic fittings. The quality of this model is worse. After 3 weeks the plastic holding a glass shelf in place has broken spilling the contents. Very poor quality. The layout is also poor as it does not make best use of the space available, there are only one set of drawers at the bottom so it needs another for cheeses etc. Besides this it is quiet and there seems to be a good temperature distribution.

We have replaced the door handle twice in addition to a new shelf support. The quality of plastic is inferior which is a great shame because the fridge performs OK. With the range of products on the market, I feel we went for the wrong model and will not buy hotpoint again.

Basic fridge is ok, but the door handle should be better mounted, and made of metal. The plastic handle breaks easily and the replacements are too expensive to keep replacing at such regular intervals.

A lousy design by amateurs.

We have always bought Hotpoint, but on the strength of this rubbish we will just buy anything except Hotpoint in future!

Good fridge but some water collects in the bottom from somewhere.

Also the handle is nowhere near strong enough. Ours just broke after a few months...

Pretty much the same experience as everyone else here - the fridge itself is fine but we have had 4 (FOUR!!) handles in less than 2 years. The handles are rubbish - don't buy this fridge for that reason.

We bought the Fridge with matching Freezer. To be fair it was excellent value for money for a Fridge of this size but it gets a bit tiring hasving to buy new handles and vegetable trays. I have actually lost count how many handles I have had to buy but it is at least five. I have also bought two crisper trays. Also the drain hole at the back regularly gets bunged up so you find water on the floor.
