The top freezer drawers with their open front took a little while to get used to. The jury was out on their practicality at first, as you’d clearly be able to stuff more in them if they had full fronts like traditional drawers. Yet the easy-access to regular items was handy, even more so when you consider they were so well illuminated from above by the freezer LEDs.

The fridge’s four full-width glass shelves with spill-proof edges provide scope for wide items such as baking trays or large plates. The even distance between the shelves isn’t ideal, though – and for those with taller items to store in the main compartment, you’ll probably have to remove one of the shelves. There’s ice and water on tap, and its water supply can be plumbed in or fed by an internal tank, which makes it more versatile if you have an awkward kitchen layout. There’s a little space taken up by the ice maker, but overall, you’d need to be running a restaurant if you wanted more storage capacity than this giant can offer. Perfect for big families with even bigger appetites.

The inside is no less lush. You get an approximate 65/35 split in favour of the refrigerator, with a respectable 364 litres of chiller space and 190 litres in the freezer. Last year we said Hisense’s FMN432A20C offered great features and impressive performance at a very attractive price. The new RQ560N4WC1 builds on the four-door French-Style theme with outstanding flexibility, excellent lighting in the fridge and freezer, and a new chilled-water container with handy dispenser on the front door. One of the Hisense RS723N4WC1’s greatest highlights is an in-door chilled water dispenser complete with 4-litre water tank inside the fridge. There’s a handy twist-and-store ice-cube maker, too. This model comes with a much wider interior space offering you much greater storage allowance. Just the thing you need when you have lots of food to keep fully fresh.

Despite the scope and flexibility of the dual control freezers, we suspect most people will default to setting the right side freezer to -18 oC and simply use it as traditional freezer space. I say this as we found that, in reality, 71 litres of day-to-day freezer space is pretty tight for even a small family. So while the idea of soft-scoop ice cream is appealing, the reality is that 142 litres of proper freezer space over six drawers is just much more practical. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How noisy is it? This refrigerator configuration is loosely termed “French Style”, with a wide refrigerator space at the top featuring doors that open like a wardrobe. The fridge is properly cavernous at 289-litres, with four full-width shelves and two big salad drawers. Twist ice cube trays can make a large volume of ice at once. A simple rotation will result in the ice cubes to drop into the ice box below. So even if you fancy a cold drink, your drinks will be beautifully chilled. As with all fridges, if you have a hot kitchen or a family that are accessing the fridge and freezer all day long, these figures will climb significantly. However, in our repeatable base-line energy tests this Hisense came out very well indeed. Given the sheer size of the freezer overall, though, these open top bins actually proved super-handy, so they got a thumbs-up in the end. The drawers below were fairly basic and, like the salad bins in the fridge, take a good solid tug to open and close when fully loaded.

More advanced than ordinary frost-free, the innovative Total No Frost Technology from Hisense circulates cold air evenly throughout your fridge and freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming, so there's no need to ever manually defrost. The Beko ASD241 is the cheapest American-style model we’ve tested, and one of the most affordable on the market, in fact. But while the price is low, the feature count is certainly not. This sleek, 4-door American Style Multi Door fridge freezer with built-in LED Display, Touch Electronic Control and water dispenser is great for families who need plenty of space for both fresh and frozen food. What's more, the Total No Frost function with Multi Air Flow for even temperature distribution means there's no need to ever worry about defrosting. Plus, the Triple Zone Cooling with My Fresh Choice and super cool and super freeze functions allows you to tailor the way you chill or freeze your food, depending on your needs. The minimalist design helps to match your kitchen beautifully and comes with an anti-fingerprinting stainless steel-look, non plumbed water dispenser, has a perfect quad-divisional structure, ergonomic recessed handles, and an elegantly crafted electronic touch LED control display.

With a unique triple zone, this fridge freezer comes with three separately temperature controlled compartments for you to adjust according to your needs. Have a large fridge area, or freezer compartment, or turn one compartment in to an additional My Fresh Choice area. Choosing to use this special feature allows you to empty the fridge when you're away for a longer period of time. The internal temperature of the fridge is automatically switched to 15°C whilst keeping the freezer working. No more nasty odours or the formation of mould, your fridge and its contents remain fresh saving you both energy and money.Simply fill the internal reservoir with fresh water and get perfectly cooled water at the touch of a button with our built-in water dispenser. In the three-hour fail test the RQ560N4WC1 once again delivered an excellent result for a relatively affordable four-door appliance. The left-hand freezer crept up around 6 oC over the three hours, so easily freezer-safe (food not getting exposed to air temperature above 0 oC) for comfortably more than 12 hours of power outage. Only the top shelf struggled to remain as stable as the rest of the fridge compartment, with short-term peaks up to 7 oC and chilling that dipped as low as -2 oC, albeit for just a few minutes. This could potentially cause mild frost damage to soft fruits, but since most people tend to store bottles and jars up there, it’s unlikely to be a big issue.
