Purchased in March 2021. It was delivered with a lift because it wouldn't fit in the elevator, and I didn't want the movers to get injured from the stairs. So far, I have no complaints except for one. I knew from reviews abroad that it sometimes raises the temperature in the cooling section, but it's manageable. Also, to fit in frozen dough for pies, the long packages require four compartments. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied. The vegetables and fruits have excellent durability, and we use the metal shelf for bottles for milk (5 bottles, but it's better to only put in 4) and so far, it hasn't had any issues, no rust or wear. I was initially worried about the glass on the shelves, but it turned out to be of good quality and very easy to clean. The compartments in both the freezer and refrigeration doors are very durable. The egg compartments could have been better, but we kept the old ones from an incredible Westinghouse we had. I was also a little disappointed that the ice maker wasn't the kind where you turn the lever and it releases the ice cubes, but it came with a simple box where you put the ice cubes in from the top and then close it with a lid. Sometimes it heats up, especially in the summer heatwaves, but after several shocks, I stopped worrying too much about it. However, I don't like that it has one motor for freezing and refrigeration; our old one had two. The noise issue hasn't bothered me as I rarely hear it, maybe once every 2-3 weeks, but the kitchen is closed and far away from the living room, lounge, and bedrooms, so for me, there is no problem there. I don't know how it would be perceived in open spaces. The black color doesn't have a problem with fingerprints, so you don't have to have a cloth in hand, and it's not completely black on the doors but a very beautiful deep charcoal color. The sides of the fridge are black, but they have a hammered metal appearance that makes the fridge look stylish and doesn't dominate the space as a black mass. I really enjoy its appearance, to tell you the truth. The display locks and is high up so that children can't reach it. Finally, the electricity bill shows a decrease, which I believe is because the previous one was thirty years old but almost immortal. If the maintenance of the Westinghouse hadn't been broken, I wouldn't have replaced it, but the change wasn't bad. Therefore, I believe it was a good purchase. If there is a problem, I will come back.

July 2023

After 2.5 years, it is still wonderful. I made sure to put plastic protectors on the glass surfaces to clean it faster because I accidentally scratched one. Other than that, I have nothing else to say. The compartments for bottles with frequent use are still flawless. I hope it lasts for many years.

The refrigerator was purchased to replace a Samsung cabinet refrigerator bought in 2008 for €2400, which after 13 years needed repairs that no one knows how much would cost and whether it would be functional or just a collection of "handyman" jobs from so-called professionals in my city of the official authorized service.

Now about the refrigerator, I should say that it has the same capacity in both the fridge and freezer as the old one, and especially in the freezer, I didn't want anything smaller than 185 liters. So the dimensions are very good and suitable for a family of 4+ people. Five shelves in the fridge and one "useless" for me metal shelf for lying bottles. The shelves are glass but don't seem high quality; they are like simple panes. The drawers are just fine with large capacity and seem to be of good quality. The 3 side shelves in the fridge doors and 4 in the freezer are quite deep, resulting in good space utilization. Cold tone LED lighting with satisfactory intensity.

Externally, the refrigerator looks very high quality. Brushed stainless steel gives a shiny surface that leaves fingerprints, which disappear with a soft dry cloth without scrubbing and effort. The doors are very high quality and have a hidden internal handle to open, but for right-handed people, the fridge door requires pulling with the left hand, which you get used to over time, of course.

Screen: Simple touch screen, very simple. You set the desired temperatures for the fridge and freezer, and that's it. Unfortunately, it does not show the actual temperature, or it may show it, but from the start, it only shows what you set. Theoretically, it can change if something happens, but I don't know and I'm not sure. The screen activates every time a door is opened and stays lit for 20 seconds. It turns off locked, and to change the settings, you have to hold the unlock button for 3 seconds.

Now about the noise. As has been written, the refrigerator is silent. It is not silent! It makes a noise that sounds like a gust of air, as if it's "letting in air" from some window-shutter! Haha. Personally, I don't want to hear machine motor sounds or hums!! Fortunately, it doesn't make such noises! When the defrosting activates, you hear this air like a gust, perhaps from the internal airflow or something like that. This happens every 2-2.5 hours and lasts for 20 minutes. After that, you hear nothing, as if you don't have it plugged in. When the refrigerator first operated, it raised such an external temperature that I thought, oh no, it's going to burn! So, no one should be afraid; after 4-5 hours, it freezes again.

Conclusion: For just €700 and usable spaces of 520 liters (335 + 185) for energy class E for design, it is just right so that someone doesn't spend much more and perhaps throw it away after a few years, as I did, but also many others reading online.

With the passage of time, I will know if Hisense ultimately proves to be a great deal, and I will be able to say more. For now, based on what I mentioned, it is a one-way street for a cabinet refrigerator at this price with such spaces.

P.S. We have had it for over 9 months, and everything works perfectly as from the first moment of operation. On the external sides and above 1-1.3 meters in height, I notice some hours of the 24-hour cycle an increase in external temperature when touching it with my hand. I don't know if this is good, but that's how it works. It might be a little feverish if not covid!! So far, everything is excellent! Fingers crossed I don't jinx it!!
P.S. With us for over 2 years, and it's like the first day! I don't change anything from what I've already written above.

P.S.3. With us for over 3 years completely problem-free in every way. We are considering buying another one of the same for backup. The price has actually not changed in over 3 years and the availability is good
