Hotpoint 105L Undercounter Fridge vs 322L Tall Larder Fridge — Comparison

The Hotpoint H55VM1120WUK 105L Undercounter Fridge is the space-saving model in this comparison, priced at £275 and designed for smaller kitchens, studios or overflow chilling. The Hotpoint SH6A2QWRUK 322L Tall Larder Fridge costs £409 and sits higher in Hotpoint’s fridge range, swapping compact convenience for a full-height larder format with much more everyday food storage.

H55VM1120WUK combines a 105L fridge section with a 17L icebox, giving it frozen-cube or small frozen-food flexibility that the SH6A2QWRUK does not list. It is also quieter on paper at 36dB versus 38dB, both with C-rated noise classification and E energy ratings. The SH6A2QWRUK is the much larger appliance, offering a 322L larder-style capacity in a white finish, but it focuses entirely on fresh-food storage.

The H55VM1120WUK suits single users, landlords, offices or households that need a fridge to fit beneath a worktop and appreciate the small icebox. Its lower £275 price also makes it easier to justify for a utility space or guest room. The SH6A2QWRUK is better for families or keen home cooks who already have a freezer and want broad shelves, fewer compromises and a simple tall white fridge. The same badge on the front should not distract from the very different kitchen roles: one option may be a main weekly-shop fridge, while the other may be a small-space, overflow or specialist solution. Before choosing, map the capacity to your shopping habits, check whether you need an icebox or separate freezer, and consider the door swing, height, finish and shelf arrangement as carefully as the price and running noise.

Bottom line: choose H55VM1120WUK if you want the cheapest Hotpoint option, undercounter dimensions, quiet 36dB running and a 17L icebox / opt for SH6A2QWRUK if you need 322L of tall larder storage and can spend £409.
