Hoover Fridges & Freezers

Hoover Fridges & Freezers

Format is the first decision and it follows the kitchen rather than the shopping. A tall fridge freezer at 176cm to 181cm is the standard single-unit answer, and the split matters: 50/50 gives equal fridge and freezer space and suits anyone who batch cooks or freezes regularly, while 60/40 and 70/30 favour fresh food. Under counter models at 55cm slot beneath a worktop and come as a fridge, a freezer, a larder fridge or a small combined unit, which makes them the choice for a small kitchen, a utility room or a second appliance in a garage. A larder fridge is worth understanding as a deliberate choice: it has no freezer compartment at all, so the entire cabinet is fridge space, which is what you want if the freezing is done elsewhere. French door and American style models are the widest option, putting two doors on the fridge section for easier access across a broad shelf. Defrost technology is the specification that changes daily life most. Frost free circulates cold air so ice never builds up and the freezer never needs defrosting by hand. Low frost slows the build-up considerably without eliminating it. Static is cheapest and will need manual defrosting. Always check the aperture height, width and depth including door clearance before ordering.

Hoover supplies the whole range. Tall fridge freezers cover 176cm 50/50 models in black, white and silver in static, low frost and H-Fridge 300 versions, plus a 181cm H-Fridge 300 frost free in silver.
