Hisense RS694N4ICE American Fridge Freezer - Stainless Steel

Brilliant.

"Definitely recommend this one."

Great features but the smart features fall short

"Great Features, but the Smart Functionality Falls Short

I’ve been using this washing machine for a while now, and overall, it’s been a good purchase. It’s a smart machine with some impressive features. The auto dispenser for detergent and softener is very convenient, and I love that it has an A energy rating, which helps save on electricity. The wash cycles are quicker than most machines I’ve used, and it operates very quietly, which is a big plus.

However, the smart features are a bit of a letdown. You have to turn the machine on at the device itself to start a wash, and you can’t initiate the cycle entirely through the app. For something marketed as “smart,” I was expecting more. The Wi-Fi feature feels underwhelming—it’s nice to get updates on my phone about the wash cycle, but that’s about the only benefit I’ve seen so far.

In summary, it’s a great washing machine in terms of basic functionality, but the smart features don’t quite live up to expectations."

Just works well

"This is our second hicense side by side fridge freezer last one was great this one seems to be just as good. Frost free ice and plumbed cool water. All you need "

Highly recommended

"This appliance could be made in Narnia, as it’s so big on the inside.

It's also big on the outside. One of the delivery people said that the measurements of these kinds of appliance - not just this one - don’t take the top hinges into account. I don’t know if this is true or not, but it’s worth bearing in mind.

Like the previous model we had, the freezer has a light - very welcome.

It’s also very quiet. You wouldn’t know it’s on, except for the occasional tumble of new ice falling into the dispenser.

The deep shelves in the fridge door are great. It’s much easier to see what we’ve got in there, and it’s less likely that things will get forgotten.

The top half of the freezer door is taken up by the ice maker. So fewer shelves in the door, but plenty inside.

The fridge has a nice big bottle rack, holding four or five bottles, so we can keep one or more in reserve. They have to go nose to tail to fit in, but that’s not a problem.

It took a little while to get ice after the appliance was switched on, so we consulted the leaflet, which says up to 10 hours. In fact maybe it took four or five hours and we’ve had a great ice supply since.

There are a few niggles:

It’s hard to see which button is which for ice and chilled water, and both buttons are small. The labels are in small black type on a silver background. An illuminated symbol for ice/water comes on *after* you’ve pressed the button (rolls eyes).

My workaround has been to type out dymotape labels. But should I have to do this for such an expensive item? Couldn’t someone have thought of making the buttons/labels bigger and more visible?

A drawer for small items would have been nice, and our last appliance had one. My fix is to put a tray on one of the shelves.

It's not possible to adjust the shelves' height, though you can remove them.

Finally, it seems you have little choice over the colour at the moment. It's silver or (checks notes) silver. So the days of the fridge freezer matching your kitchen are over. For now.

All in all, we’re very pleased with the product and would recommend it."

So Far So Good!

"We’ve had this for over a week now and are loving it so far! Lots of space and very well laid out. We haven’t had a Hisense before but no complaints thus far. Would recommend!"
