The Hisense RL170D4BCE at £169 and the Hotpoint H55R1112XUK at £239 are both undercounter larder fridges, designed to fit beneath a standard worktop and dedicate all their space to fresh food and drinks. The Hisense is £70 cheaper, while the Hotpoint comes in a grey finish.
The Hisense RL170D4BCE offers a 133L capacity, a reversible door, two adjustable glass shelves and a salad crisper drawer, measuring 845 x 555 x 575mm, with an E energy rating. The Hotpoint H55R1112XUK is an undercounter larder fridge in grey, part of the same H55 family as Hotpoint's 128L white model, likely with Low Frost technology, a Fresh Zone drawer and LED lighting. Undercounter larder fridges are ideal as second fridges, in small kitchens or for drinks and extra fresh food.
The Hisense offers a slightly larger stated capacity for much less money, making it the value choice. The Hotpoint suits buyers who want a grey finish to coordinate with their kitchen and prefer Hotpoint's features. Check dimensions against your worktop height, and remember that larder fridges have no icebox, so pair them with a freezer if you need frozen storage.
