Freezer Deals & Offers

Never had a problem with 4 Hotpoint products, two fridge freezers and two washing machines, I dont think they are worth paying more than you would for a Beko though so would always price up Beko as well, plump for whichever is cheaper.

Luckily sales 'experts' focused in the South Wales area aren't the ones that spend their hard earned cash on white goods all over the UK. They just want the commission so will say whatever they need to in order to push through a potential sale. If that means preying on unjustified, yet in all likelihood, isolated consumer fear of Hotpoint products then so be it. You claimed that Whirlpool/Hotpoint are highly unreliable yet still haven't provided any evidence to support that claim beyond you doing mystery shopping. I, along with many others I'm sure would be grateful if you could perhaps provide any evidence whatsoever to your claims against Whirlpool and associated brands beyond personal opinion.

I'll just leave this here. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/beko-cfg1552w-frost-free-fridge-freezer-17520-wcode-hughes-ebay-2965453 Anyone with a brain would buy a Beko over a Hotpoint. - I do a LOT of mystery shopping for many independent retailers across South Wales. My tasks predominantly are to assess what products are recommended. Most of the people I assess have significant background knowledge in the white goods sector, and I can honestly say this: The vast majority of independent sales experts refuse to sell or don't sell Hotpoint or other Whirlpool products because of their poor reliability or poor reputation. They tend to recommend Miele for washing machines if budget is high, and Beko for washing machines/fridges etc if budgets are low to moderate. You need to accept the fact that Hotpoint products are abysmal nowadays.

Risk? Let me put it this way. While driving a car, there is a low risk your tyres may suffer a puncture. Does that mean we shouldn't buy cars? No, it means when we use a car, a fridge freezer, a phone.. we accept that there's a small risk it may develop a fault or something may break. Did the Hotpoint appliance in the Grenfell disaster have a fault with that model to warrant a recall? No, according to the experts. Out of curiosity, do you have any factual data to back up your assertion that "Whirlpool make some of the least reliable white goods you can buy" or is it just a personal opinion? Reliability will vary depending on a number of factors. You can pay £1500 for a Bosch fridge freezer and see it break down or develop a fault within 12 months when someone else buys a £300 Hotpoint fridge freezer with no issues in the same time period. :D

A low risk is still a risk. Plus Whirlpool make some of the least reliable white goods you can buy. Not taking into account the fire element of my argument, you simply can't ignore that you can definitely buy something more reliable for a similar price, if not £50 more. I'd rather pay the little bit extra for quality.

Yes, some chest freezers will not work outside. It's to do with their thermostats I think. Some freezers cut off when the temperature gets too low is 2 to -2 degs therefore the food defrosts. I know of a few that guarantee freezer still to work at minus 17 Deg . These include beko and fridge master. I learnt this by buying a swan freezer and as soon as the temp hut 6 degs it turned itself off.. so crazy. Be sure to ask the specs of the item first.

Ordered, cheers

Argos website states it is suitable for out buildings.

It says ST climate class in the specification :/ https://www.beko.co.uk/support/faqs/fridges/what-are-climate-class-ratings-and-how-does-this-effect-where-i

I've had the RHCF200 197L version - bought from Tesco Direct back in 2016. That model did state it was suitable for garage use and has performed well. It's a simple/basic/effective design - and a real HUKD bargain back then at £135 including disposal of 30yr old chest freezer. That said the Russell Hobbs brand owners were/are clearly just slapping a couple of stickers on a (probably Chinese) chest, so may be different model/mechanics/electrics by now. The RHCF200 manual specifically states "This Appliance is suitable to be placed in garages". Cant see any such reference in the RHCF150.

Looks like you just got it in time. All the fidge freezers sold by Tescos have now disappeared from the Tesco Direct website, including this one.

Seems like a decent buy, thanks OP!

Thanks. Ordered. Was looking for a new one and my kitchens white with red accessories. So now it'll have a red fridge! Haha Also used Clubcard vouchers, so got it for £137. Yay.

Anybody found if its Frost Free or not?

From the picture I thought it was a mini fridge.

And the award for the most random conversation on a post about fridges goes to...

I didn't learn about the unchristian amorality of their parents at first. I played occasionally with their children ( the only other similarly aged children in our housing complex - there were no black families resident, only staff). As I said earlier, I far preferred being with the children and elders in the local village whenever I had the opportunity. Several months into our life in Accra I was given free-reign by my parents to come and go as I saw fit. I was in awe of everything I discovered living under rocks or in the bush; often closely triggering a breakdown in my mother as I brought quite a range of deadly wildlife into my bedroom. The American kids were not very nice, constantly bragging about the quality of life they enjoyed compared to the locals. I tried several times to get them to visit the villagers with me to see for themselves how much enjoyment the local kids got from life but their parents refused ever to let them out of the compound. Just 7 it took me a while to catch on to their mission in Africa.

AAHHHHH, I think i get it now, so your friends parents Fridge put you off ALL Amercan people for life, and not the fact that they where Christian Fundamentalists or believed all Africans where Uncivilised Heathens, yet you don't like the population of one of the largest countries in the world because of a kitchen appliance! Makes total Sense!......... :/

Their fridge, like everything else in their apartment, had been shipped over from the USA as no other countries made such obscene refrigerators in the early 1960's. The entire family were also Christian Fundamentalists opined African's were uncivilised heathens. My parents loathed them and it was that morning on seeing the contents of their fridge that it dawned on me why my father and mother took such a disliking to them.

That’s a great story, you should sell that to Steven Spielberg, and he could most certainly made milk a Trilogy out of it! Oh no wait, he’s an American, and you hate them all because of a fridge, that was more than likely made in Asia, which you seen in a house in Ghana, Africa!...........🤪😳🤭

Shows £699

Fridge is good. Tastecard is useless.

and only 2 years warranty

Small capacity

Any good chest freezer deals going? (Anywhere) looking for one that is a chest rather than a tower.

Quote from which website

Slow at freezing, struggles in cold room temperatures, guzzles energy, hard to use, potentially unsafe backing material

Good fridge too late for me as I ordered a Kenwood for 280 from Currys

Deal expired. back to £179 https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/refrigeration/freezers/logik-l200cfw18-chest-freezer-white-10174945-pdt.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=-xrpqxpqtai&istBid=tztx&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~0101%20(PLA)%20MDA%20REFRIGERATION%20-%20Brand%20Logik~0101%20Fridge%20Freezers%20Core%20-%20Brand%20Logik~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=c&ds_kids=92700029750973172&PLA=1&tgtid=0101%20(PLA)%20MDA%20REFRIGERATION%20-%20Brand%20Logik&gclid=CjwKCAjwr-PYBRB8EiwALtjbz744I5RJypB_YoJwUDj-uFxu7i7FOmkeQ8coiSsBdm8scYAxg5zt7xoCI_kQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Haha, get this. Now that the 20% off special offer voucher has gone expired, it's now dropped in price from £120 to £100. Shows how much of a con some of these deals are!

Thanks for posting this op. Reserved one yesterday and picked up in notts this afternoon, I did ring to check it was in before collection and surprised it was there. Topdeal (highfive)

Thanks, unfortunately I missed it.

Manual defrost is a total pain, especially when you have it packed all the time - wish we had paid a extra when we bought ours for a frost free.

True...true, but then again it does show how SMALL the freezer compartment is, and that's not a good look :-(

TBF it (the freezer compartment) does LOOK tiny, and that is in a "frost free" state (new, not powered/iced up) Cost is a consideration, but it would still be a waste of money if it doesn't have the freezer capacity volume YOU need.

Oh well, nothing you can do me thinks. WAY to late TBF. You can often find details of an eBay purchase via your paypal account eBay can be good from a buyers point of view if you have a problem (honest or otherwise) yet I do believe paypal give you much more time, a crazy amount of time. Upto 100 days in some cases (for some reason) springs to mind, where you can open a claim, but don't quote me on that. Going to any company CS can be fruitless full stop, as ALL they wanna do is quote "I'm sorry, but as it's been over 12 Months" etc...etc it's out of warranty, but that simply IS NOT TRUE. Of a 12 month warranty it is down to the COMPANY to prove an item ISN'T faulty in the 1st 6 months, then for the 2nd half of the year, it's down to us to show an item has a fault, and even then, if an item is in need of replacement?, you must take into account the use you've had from it, in relation to the time you could reasonably expect an item to last, as, guarantee aside, an item MUST "last for a reasonable amount of time" Example A DAB radio @ £200 can (for example) be expected to last for 5 years?, so £40 a year...It "dies" at the end of year 2 (so 1 year out of warranty) 2 years @ £40 = £80 worth of use, so you could be looking at a refund of only £120. or a replacement, with a contribution from you. to take in to account your 2 years of use.

I was able to dig up receipt but ebay dont have the order details on my acct anymore. I dont think I deleted it. Possibly 3 years by now. Originally purchased a batch of refurbs to give but by time opened to doublecheck was year or so later. Going to vodafone ebay store was fruitless. Gave up. Must have been a year or so since.

When did you buy it? As a buyer yer ass is pretty much covered on eBay. eBay LOVES bidder/buyers...SCREWS sellers, but loves bidder/buyers.

Is this really that great? 10% off isn't exactly a massive discount. Also it's the same price at currys and there is quidco.

Great having a big fridge freezer like that but I fecking wondering about cleaning it. Cos it be my job in this house. A man job. . . . .
