Keeping cool

If a kitchen is the de-facto hub of a home then the fridge is the appliance at the very heart of the entire operation, with features that have to work overtime to stay useful.

To supplement your busy weekly schedule, Hotpoint's Dual No Frost American Fridge Freezer with VitalCare is an appliance that'll prove its investment time and time again. With ample space (a whopping 510 litres of it!) and tech to preserve the life of your fruit and veg, it'll save you from rushing out for a top-up shop when it's time to cook dinner.

Washing up hero

The Hotpoint Hydroforce Fully Integrated Full Size Dishwasher is exactly the sort of integrated appliance you want to be able to turn to in your kitchen for a stress-free evening routine.

Kitted out with 3D Zone Wash for blasting away stubborn, burnt-on food from your casserole dishes and an ActiveDry setting that begins the putting-away process automatically earns this dishwasher undisputed must-have status in our eyes.

Cooking must-haves

Convenience whilst cooking can't be taken for granted, and that’s certainly what you get with Hotpoint’s ActiveMultiFlow Class 8 Built In Electric Single Oven. With a staggering 60 preset programs to make use of, perfect for quick midweek dinners or for more challenging culinary pursuits. And with the MyMenu function, you can find tailor-made settings for cosy casseroles, slow-cooked centrepieces and make use of the advanced timer function for time spent hosting.

Highlights include a built-in Air Fry function (so you can keep your worktops unencumbered by a standalone appliance) and a Pizza 310°C setting that crisps up everyone’s favourite treat meal in just 10 minutes. Whether you’re popping in a pizza whilst hosting or simply making a Friday night a little more enjoyable, that’s a setting you’ll want to have.
