"We needed another big freezer to go in the garage as we have far too many kids! This freezer looks great. It has a massive capacity at a great cost. My only gripe with it is that the handle kept coming loose after repeated door opening by the kids during the summer after ice lollies. The handle isn't particularly rigid so as the door needs a good tug to get open the handle flex's & works the screws loose. "

"This is exactly what I wanted. The capacity an d ease of use is one of the best. The deep drawers not only hold a lot but it is easy to see what there is and to use food in date."

"I was unsure about buying this freezer as I had not heard of this make before. I am so pleased that I bought it as it looks and performs great . "

"This upright freezer from Hisense is extremely good value for the quality and space it provides. The style is very sleek and fits into our kitchen perfectly. The only feature I would have liked would be the temperature controls on the exterior instead of inside but apart from that I can't recommend it enough. The capacity is very substantial and the fittings of good robust quality compared to a previous one I purchased which was far more costly. I have had a Hisense fridge from this company my partner bought about 3 years ago and I am more than confident the freezer will be just as reliable."

"The ice cube system is very effective but takes up quite a bit of space & although its external dimensions are the same as my of one internally it is quite a bit smaller. There are fewer draws so they are a good size & seem pretty robust & of a plastic which I hope won't become brittle with the cold. The main drawback is that the controls & temperature display are inside, meaning you are totally reliant on the alarm to warn of any problem, unless you keep opening the door to check.. It is so quite I can only tell that it is operating by putting my ear to the door"

"We got this as an additional freezer for our garage. We were considering going with the traditional chest freezer, but just looking at the footprint it takes up, a chest freezer would have taken at least double the floor space, if not more.
It’s A+ efficiency means that you’ll get change from £60 pounds running on standard settings for a year. That’s impressive.
It’s also Total No Frost which means no annoying defrosting of the unit every 6-12 months and no struggling to open the drawers when the ice moulds itself round them and you spend most of your time trying to prise it out of the freezer’s death grip…we’ve all been there.
The door can be adjusted to open from the left or the right and the handle is easily attached to either side. However, since we have it in the garage and I’m the clumsy guy that I am, we decided to leave it off rather than me snap it off later when carrying something in or out of the garage and running the risk of damaging the door in the process. It still opens very easily without using the handle.
It boasts a 235 litre capacity, which the manufacturer states can hold up to 13 bags of food shopping. They clearly haven’t met my wife as her fridge and freezer Tetris skills are excellent. She’d get the whole street’s shopping in there and still have room for a pack of magnums.
It has an alarm (which I would have liked to have been a little louder) that sounds when the door has been left open for too long. And taking a closer look at the control panel, it has a power button which does nothing with a single press but holding for a little over 5 seconds, shuts down the unit easily, without have to pull out the whole freezer and go fishing round the back to reach the wall socket. Powering back on is a 2-second hold on the same button.
The Super Fast Freezing button switches the freezer down to it’s lowest temperature setting of -24°C for 18 hours. This is suggested when you first fill and whenever you add a good load of shopping. Once the 18 hours is up, it defaults back to the previous setting it was on. You can also manually adjust the temperature from -14°C to -24°C with a single press of the Temp button, scrolling through to the number you want.
One nifty feature is this ice cube tray which, is sprung loaded to turn upside down and empty into the removable collection tray below. Repeat this process a good few times when you get it and stay disciplined with this and your G&T will never be warm again!
The top two compartments are flip up lids, perfect for frozen pizzas, ice lollies, ice-cream tubs and although not really a smooth motion here, we’re sure once the temperature is equalized in the freezer, that shouldn’t be a problem.
The freezer also boasts multi-air cooling and rather than just be some absolute jargon, you can see what they mean. At the back of each level there is a vent and the cold air is pumped through there so each level is cooled individually. Thus, leading to a much more effective cooling system and not relying on just one or two cooling points throughout the unit.
And finally, towards the bottom, they have these ‘Huge Boxes’ and as you can see, they really are….huge. All in all, a very well built unit.
