Hisense 85L Under Counter Freezer vs Upright No Frost 240L Freezer — Comparison

The Hisense FV105D4BC21 85L Under Counter Freezer is £169 and sits as the budget compact freezer in this pair, while the Hisense FV298N4ACE Upright No Frost 240L Freezer is £449 and sits as the full-height feature-led model. FV105D4BC21 is for small households and limited spaces, whereas FV298N4ACE is for users who want far more capacity and less maintenance. Both are E-rated, but the larger freezer has a much stronger convenience specification.

FV105D4BC21 offers 82L capacity, enough for up to four bags of food shopping, and it has three storage compartments, a reversible door and dimensions of H:845mm x W:555mm x D:575mm. It does need manual defrosting. FV298N4ACE provides 240L capacity and adds No Frost, multi airflow, a digital display, precise temperature control, interior LED lighting and a Fast Freeze function. The difference is therefore not just 158L of extra space; it is also a move from manual defrost and basic compartments to a more automated, controlled freezer.

FV105D4BC21 suits buyers who want the cheapest Hisense option here, especially for flats, office kitchens, rental properties or overflow storage for a few frozen staples. At £169, it is £280 less than FV298N4ACE, making it attractive when budget and footprint matter most. FV298N4ACE suits families, larger weekly shops and batch cooking, particularly if you dislike defrosting and want clear temperature settings. Its LED lighting, airflow and Fast Freeze function also make it better for frequent use and for quickly chilling newly added food. This distinction is especially useful when balancing appliance footprint, storage habits and how often the freezer is opened.

Bottom line: choose FV105D4BC21 if you want the lowest-cost 82L under-counter freezer and can accept manual defrost / opt for FV298N4ACE if you want 240L capacity, No Frost and stronger day-to-day controls.
