Entry Statement

Launched in May 2026, this Hotpoint Dual No Frost 70/30 Integrated Fridge Freezer with VitalCare, rated D for energy, offers a 270L capacity, giving you practical space for weekly food shopping while fitting seamlessly into an integrated kitchen design.

Dual No Frost circulates cool air evenly throughout both fridge and freezer compartments, helping to prevent ice and moisture build-up. That means no more soggy salads, no icy corners, and no need to ever manually defrost again.

Inside the fridge, VitalCare recreates a natural daylight cycle to help keep fruit and vegetables fresher, more nutrient-rich, and preserve antioxidants for up to 7 days*. Designed to prolong the natural quality of fresh produce, helping it stays at its best for longer.

EvenFlow technology ensures cool air is distributed evenly across every shelf, helping fruit and vegetables stay crisp for up to 30% longer**, so freshness is maintained no matter where food is stored.

Combined, these technologies deliver long-lasting freshness, making the Hotpoint Dual No Frost 70/30 Integrated Fridge Freezer a standout choice for any kitchen, and a strong contender for this year’s awards.

*Tested by Intertek for fruits and vegetables (blueberry, yellow pepper, tomato, parsley) directly exposed to the light technology compared to a refrigerator without the same technology installed (and compared to Day 0) over a 7-day period while preserved in the crisper.
**Weight loss and sensory evaluation tests used for the determination of shelf life were conducted internally by Beko Corporate on carrot, fresh-cut iceberg lettuce, fresh-cut tomato, strawberry, salami, and kashar cheese samples stored in the EvenFlow refrigerator and control refrigerator (without the EvenFlow technology) for a 12-day period. Actual results may vary based on food type and usage conditions.
