Refrigerator Hotpoint Ariston: Country of origin, models, reviews

Quite a wide range of household appliances, presented in the Russian market, suggests the idea of an unlimited number of manufacturers working for our customers. However, there are not so many really high-quality products, in which both reliability and functionality are combined. Actually, people who have been inspecting market offers periodically for several years will mark 5-6 brands that they can trust. It is this reaction that causes the Hotpoint Ariston refrigerator. The producer is the country of Russia, however the brand belongs to the Italian company Indesit. It should be noted at once that cooling equipment refers to high-tech and complex kitchen appliances, in which not only performance, but also safety is important.

Therefore, one should be guided by strict criteria for choosing a refrigerator model, in which attention is paid to camera configurations, power, additional options, energy saving and, of course, various technological raisins can not be ignored in our time. To create a more complete picture of what constitutes a Hotpoint Ariston refrigerator will also be helped by the owners' feedback, but the review begins with basic information about the manufacturer.

Manufacturer Information

The brand is perceived by many Russians as a new one, so it's not about complete trust yet. But the fact is that the more famous company Indesit is the founder of this brand, which also increases the authority of Hotpoint-Ariston. The Italian manufacturer is closely connected with Russia. Back in 1993, the company laid the production base for the production of its equipment. Since that moment, Indesit products were loved by our users for their reliability, durability, availability of the main functionality and, what was the most important at that time, affordable price. In 2007, on the basis of the merged brands Hotpoint and Ariston, a new brand was developed, which at the same time ensured the same level of build quality, reliability and other characteristics. However, we can not fail to note the competition, in which the Hotpoint Ariston refrigerators are sold. The manufacturer in the struggle for the buyer seeks to improve the quality properties of products in all areas. Again, if we talk about cooling technology, the developers pay special attention to safety and energy efficiency. Also, the introduction of new options and opportunities allows you to attract a large number of customers.

General information about refrigerators

If we distinguish the features of refrigerators of this brand, then there are few fundamental differences from the products of competitors. The company is trying to keep pace with the times, not missing the technology and improving the main characteristics. But there is one significant nuance. To stay in the mainstream of the status and advanced brand for eminent European manufacturers is not difficult because of the high cost of household appliances. But the Hotpoint Ariston in some versions offers not less decent performance and functionality, while remaining an inexpensive acquisition. At the same time, the manufacturer does not make special deviations towards budgetary issues. His line is not limited to any design solutions, nor design delights. Fans of the brand are also available models with different location of the freezer and the number of doors. The choice of refrigerators is also broadened - they are mini-models with a height of no more than 40 cm, and full-fledged versions - from 2 m. Accordingly, the capacity of cameras varies. The main volume is an average of 80-300 liters, and freezers are available to the user from 40 to 150 liters, depending on the model.

HBM Series

The review of models should start with an unconventional solution - a configuration with the bottom location of the freezer compartment. One of the most successful solutions of this design is the Hotpoint Ariston HBM refrigerator, which, in turn, also has several modifications. The owner receives a basic volume of 233 liters and a useful storage space in the freezer, which is 85 liters. Among the accessories is a special stand for storing eggs and a container for meat products. In the basic configuration, the refrigerator is supplied with three shelves and a compartment for greenery. It is important to note that the material for separating the sections is represented by high-strength glass, the transparency of which simplifies the handling of products.

HF Series

Feature of this line is the No Frost technology solution. The manufacturer notes that the conditions created by the technique make it possible to preserve the original freshness of the products for 9 days. This effect is provided, in particular, by the Hotpoint Ariston HF 4200 refrigerator, the reviews of which indicate that greens and other products do not fade during the specified period. This is due to the maintenance of an optimum level of temperature and humidity, which also prevents the formation of frost on the internal surfaces of the refrigerator. It is worth noting the presence of antibacterial coating, which prevents the development of dangerous microorganisms. The function of super-frost in the chamber allows you to serve 24 hours a day. However, the most important thing in this part of the option is that the freezing is carried out quickly, but without reducing the gastronomic qualities of food.

E4D Series

Models of this family offer advanced storage options for products in the technology with a modern configuration. For example, the specification E4D AA presents a refrigerator with a bottom freezer Hotpoint Ariston, equipped with two cameras. This means that the model is characterized by a large volume of food storage - in aggregate this figure is 470 liters. Creating a model with the expectation of large families, the manufacturer supplied it with convenient shelves made from the same tempered glass, egg niches, bottle stands and fruit trays. By the way, in containers for vegetables sensors with moisture control are provided, which makes it possible not to spoil the products. Externally, the refrigerator looks traditional and even conservative, but the automatic control systems of technology brighten this impression.

BCB Series

In this line of attention deserves modification 33 A, which is a type of built-in refrigerator with the bottom location of the freezer compartment. This version also reminds a little of the classical technologies of cooling equipment - at least in that the control is carried out manually. However, this only applies to defrosting functions. In the rest everything reminds predecessors. This is a two-chamber refrigerator Hotpoint Ariston, which, however, is well-equipped. For those who are looking for a model with the most rational and multilevel distribution of space, this option is quite suitable. The version has 4 shelves, 3 drawers in the freezer compartment and one in the refrigerator. Despite this, the dimensions of the refrigerator are rather compact - 54 cm in width, 185 cm in height and 55 cm in thickness.

HBT series

This series also embodied all the best developments of the current generation of refrigerators. First of all, this is the lower location of the freezing chamber, a large amount of useful space, and the availability of technologies for long-term maintenance of the products in fresh condition. For example, under Specification 1181.3, the Hotpoint Ariston No Frost refrigerator from the HBT series is manufactured. It is also distinguished by the ergonomic arrangement of the high-strength shelves, the retractable doors and the electronic control system. In terms of practicality, this is one of the best options in the model line of the Italian manufacturer. As the housewives note, all niches are conveniently seized and washed, and it is almost impossible to damage containers with trays. Although they are mostly made of plastic, they differ in strength and rigidity. However, for autonomous work this option is not the most successful. Its 13-hour maintenance of an optimum condition of cooling many models can oppose 15 and even 18 hours.

BD Series

Based on the characteristics of the described models, we can conclude that the manufacturer is oriented to fans of the lower location of the freezer. But the BD series also offers models in which an aging configuration with an upper placement of this compartment is implemented. In particular, the Hotpoint Ariston refrigerator in the BD 2922 modification is conveniently located in any kitchen ensemble, providing for use at the top level 58 liters for freezing and 204 liters as the useful volume of the main refrigerating chamber. Also this model belongs to energy-intensive equipment. According to the energy consumption class, it is marked A +. Nevertheless, this does not prevent it from providing a full set of basic functions, including electronic controls, an ice generator, an ionization system and other options.

User's manual

To begin with, it is important to note the importance of installing the refrigerator correctly. It should be located on a flat surface so that its ventilation holes are not blocked. Before the first time to turn on the equipment, it is necessary to wash all its surfaces with warm water and soda. It is important to note the nuances of the operation of the Hotpoint Ariston freezer. The refrigerator, the instruction to which the "superfreeze" mode of operation presupposes, it is desirable to cool with the first function when using this function. However, the products should be downloaded only after the work is completed. As for the refrigerator compartment, the first thing to do is activate the Speed Cool mode. In the future, the adjustment can be carried out in accordance with individual requests using the navigation panel of the refrigerator.

Instruction manual

Without fail, the equipment must be cleaned and other preventive measures, eliminating the risk of fungus and mold. In particular, it is necessary to clean all surfaces of equipment, including rubber seals, using a sponge. For greater effect, you can use solutions with the same soda or soap. In this case, solvents and abrasives can damage materials, so their use in the cleaning process is not recommended by the manufacturer Hotpoint Ariston. The refrigerator, whose instruction manual allows for the possibility of switching on an alarm, needs special preparation before servicing. Such models should not just be defrosted and disconnected from the network before cleaning, but also set special modes of their condition.

Positive feedback on refrigerators

As already mentioned, the company "Indesit" at one time won the trust of Russians due to the reliability and functionality of its equipment. The Hotpoint Ariston brand, which appeared in 2007, faced more complicated work, as the requirements of the consumer increased many times. And, as the reviews show, the manufacturer copes with its tasks. In addition to durability and high productivity, the owners celebrate the ergonomics that the modern Hotpoint Ariston refrigerator is endowed with. The reviews emphasize not only the ease of use of controls, but also the competent placement of internal compartments and niches, which makes it possible to rationally use the useful space of equipment. It is also worth noting the aesthetic advantages of refrigerators. Users appreciate the company's desire to diversify color solutions and follow fashion in the design of kitchen equipment.

Negative feedback on refrigerators

As the manufacturer nevertheless strives to combine technological innovations with affordable prices of the final product, this can not but affect the quality. Most disadvantages concern small details and nuances of exploitation. However, they are enough to darken a good impression, which is caused by the first acquaintance of the refrigerator Hotpoint Ariston. Reviews usually indicate a low quality of seals and flagella, because of what you have to regularly change these elements. There is no unanimous opinion regarding noise insulation, but one can also find complaints about the strong sounds and vibrations emanating from the technique.

Conclusion

For those who need an inexpensive refrigerator capable of providing a full range of modern functions, there is no better solution than the models of this brand. That is, of course, there are many budget models on the domestic market that are available for less money. But their performance and functionality will not equal the bar set by the Hotpoint Ariston even in a modest package. And vice versa, the largest European brands produce practically impeccable quality products with advanced technological stuffing. But the price of similar models can exceed tens of thousands of rubles from analogs from Hotpoint Ariston. Also do not forget that refrigerators are being assembled in Russia, so there will be no problems with servicing in service centers.
