Blomberg vs Hotpoint 128L Undercounter Larder Fridge - White — Comparison

The Blomberg SSM1554P at £249.99 and the Hotpoint H55R1112WUK at £239 are both undercounter fridges in white, designed to fit beneath a standard kitchen worktop. They suit second fridges, small kitchens and households that want extra fresh-food space.

The Hotpoint H55R1112WUK is a 128L undercounter larder fridge, meaning it has no icebox, so all the space is available for fresh food and drinks. It features Low Frost technology to reduce ice build-up on the back wall, a Fresh Zone drawer for fruit and vegetables, adjustable shelves and LED interior lighting. It carries an E energy rating. The Blomberg SSM1554P is an undercounter fridge with auto defrost, which automatically removes ice from the back wall so you do not need to defrost it manually.

The two models are very close in price and purpose. The Hotpoint offers a detailed set of features, including a Fresh Zone drawer and LED lighting, for £10.99 less, making it the slightly better value. The Blomberg suits buyers who prefer its auto defrost and brand. Check the capacity of each, and whether you need an icebox, as larder fridges do not include one.

Bottom line: choose the Hotpoint H55R1112WUK at £239 if you want a 128L undercounter larder fridge with Fresh Zone and LED lighting. Choose the Blomberg SSM1554P at £249.99 if you prefer Blomberg's auto defrost undercounter fridge.
