Hotpoint HSS25GFTWW Review
Hotpoint HSS25GFTWW

With a starting price of $991, the Hotpoint HSS25GFT sits quite a bit beyond the budget price range. A consumer reviews aggregator site writes in a Hotpoint HSS25GFT review that it�s one of the best side-by-side models, while How Stuff Works is impressed with the ice and water dispenser and easy-access water filter. Consumers, however, aren�t entirely convinced. Users appreciate the roomy interior, adjustable shelves, easy-to-clean exterior, and upscale looks, according to Hotpoint HSS25GFT reviews on the Home Depot and Abt sites, but they also air some complaints. Reports of loud fan noises and premature failure of other essential components often surface in Hotpoint HSS25GFT reviews. Users also note in Hotpoint HSS25GFT reviews that they�re put off by the high cost of repairs and expensive replacement water filters.

This unit boasts 25 cubic feet of storage, in-door ice and water dispensing, a water filter, and adjustable shelves. Shoppers have a choice of white, black, bisque and silver-metallic finishes. One general criticism of the Hotpoint HSS25GFT is that it is not Energy Star Qualified; it uses 715 kWh per year for an estimated yearly operating cost of $65.

For a fridge that looks good, has lots of room inside, and features the in-door ice and water dispenser, this isn�t a bad deal. But consumer reports about durability problems give us pause; you decide whether they do the same for you.
