Hisense vs Hoover Fridges

Hisense and Hoover both sell budget-friendly fridges, but in different sizes. Hisense's options include the Hisense RL170D4BCE 133-litre under-counter larder fridge with a reversible door at £169, the Hisense RL170D4BWE 133-litre undercounter fridge at £169, the Hisense RL415N4ACE 322-litre freestanding fridge at £350 and the Hisense RL5K370GSFC 372-litre KitchenFit fridge in black glass at £1,199. Hoover's range here is the Hoover HONLQ2S58EWHK H-Fridge 300 undercounter larder fridge at £189, the Hoover HOLHS58EWK 127-litre larder fridge at £199 and the Hoover HWCB60UKN 46-bottle undercounter wine cooler at £459.

Hisense's freestanding models bring the most capacity. The 322-litre RL415N4ACE has multi-air flow, interior LED lighting and precise temperature control, while the 372-litre RL5K370GSFC adds metal-tech cooling, Total No Frost and a humidity control crisper. Hoover's H-Fridge 300 offers 127 litres of net capacity, an Aria Clear Module, LED lighting and hOn app control, and the HOLHS58EWK adds a wine rack to its 127-litre larder. The RL170D4BWE is rated at a 40dB noise level, which is a useful detail for a kitchen where quiet matters.

Hisense suits buyers who need a larger main fridge at a modest price, including the 322-litre RL415N4ACE and the larger RL5K370GSFC for a family kitchen. Hoover suits small kitchens and second-fridge jobs, such as a utility room or a bar area, where an undercounter model or a 46-bottle wine cooler is enough. The Hisense RL170D4BCE and RL170D4BWE at 133 litres sit between the two, both at £169.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you need more capacity, with 322 or 372 litres on freestanding models, or a 133-litre under-counter fridge for £169. Choose Hoover if you want a budget undercounter larder at £189 or a 46-bottle wine cooler at £459.
