That 39dB average is a superb figure and up there with some of the more affluent cutting-edge tech fridge freezers that use linear compressor motors. As with all traditional compressors they’ll become a little nosier over time, but only by a couple of dB… probably just about enough to get up to the figure of 43dB stated on the energy label. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How well does it perform? This Hisense RQ560N4WCF American Fridge Freezer comes in a stainless steel type finish. It not as wide as a standard sized American product (by roughly 12cm), so a good option if you are tight on space. It has a large fridge section at the top with freezer drawers below.

A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. Both freezers offer three drawers, the upper of which is an open-style bin for easy access. The lower left drawer houses a removable “twist and serve”-style ice cube maker and both compartments offer LED illumination – which we so rarely see in a freezer. Top marks all round, Hisense. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How much can you fit in? 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.From the internal LED display you can set the temperature of the fridge and freezer as well as setting different options, such as fast chill and fast freeze, which will cool your food down rapidly, so it better retains its nutrients and taste. This cookie is set by the Bazaarvoice. The cookie allows internal Bazaarvoice web analytics to be correlated to the same user for interactions across the Bazaarvoice network. This model was tested before we changed our fridge freezer test programme in 2023. For full details on how we've changed our testing, head to our guide on 'how we test fridge freezers'. Just like its predecessor, the new Hisense performed very well, turning in a solid set of technical results – which is particularly impressive given its relatively budget price for its size.

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. Utilising a triple cooling system, this ensures that the fridge, freezer and My Fresh Choice are all controlled independently of each other, which should provide faster cooling power and more humidity in the fridge, to prevent food from drying out.

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. 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. The right-hand side of the freezer proved a little more variable, but still very good compared to the market average at this price. The top drawer was the most variable at +3/-7 degrees on its -12 oC average, while the lowest drawer fared better with just a +1/-4 degree waver from its -14 oC average.

In the freezer there are six separate compartments. The right hand freezer compartment (My Fresh Choice) offers a temperature range between -20ºC and 5ºC, great flexibility dependent on whether you have more fresh or frozen food to store. This sleek, 4-door 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 Dual Tech Cooling with My Fresh Choice and super cool and super freeze functions allow you to tailor the way you chill or freeze your food, depending on your needs. 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. Bigger fridge freezers such as the RQ560N4WC1 have to work very hard to achieve an A+ (or better) energy rating due to the larger surface area of the appliance taking on heat from the surrounding kitchen. We set up our test fridge-freezers in an environmental chamber kept at 18-19 oC to imitate an average UK kitchen. We run the unit for several days, opening each compartment six times per day.ARRAffinity cookie is set by Azure app service, and allows the service to choose the right instance established by a user to deliver subsequent requests made by that user. At the bottom, the two independent freezer compartments can be run at different temperatures to suit the contents. The left-hand side is a traditional freezer, with a temperature range of -15 to -25 oC, while the right-hand compartment can be set from -5 to -18 oC. That covers all the bases from traditional freezer (-18 degrees) to soft-frozen foods such as ice cream and deserts (-12 oC) and even short-term fish and meat storage (-5 oC). We also found the -5 oC setting ideal for speed-chilling wine and beer for summer parties.

You can dispense chilled water straight from the fridge door with the non-plumbed water dispenser, this is fed from a water tank inside the fridge, which you manually fill.

This fantastic fridge freezer from Hisense is perfect for keeping all your groceries crisp and fresh! With a roomy 454 litres of space and lots of moveable shelves, there’s plenty of flexibility and creativity with this fridge freezer.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. We are delighted to offer our 2-man delivery team to bring any of our products directly to your home. We understand that a smooth delivery experience is crucial, so here are some important details about our service: The performance and energy efficiency is right up there with the old model and, at this price, all we can really criticise is the slightly odd logic of the digital controls and basic drawer runners making for rather stiff drawer access. Once again, Hisense has come in with a great product at an outstanding price. Verdict
