Hisense's technical specification splits the lower storage into an 87-litre freezer compartment and a 92-litre two-star variable-temperature compartment; the combined lower-zone capacity is 179 litres.
Storage and four-door layout
The Hisense RQ5P470SAFD fridge freezer provides 483 litres of total storage, with 304 litres in the cooling compartment. Hisense specifies the lower storage as an 87-litre freezer compartment plus a 92-litre two-star variable-temperature compartment, giving useful flexibility rather than a completely fixed freezer layout.
Inside, there are three glass fridge shelves, two adjustable shelves, six door trays and LED lighting. The lower section uses two drawers and one tray according to Hisense's technical specification. Its freestanding cross-door design measures 1,785mm high, 794mm wide and 698mm deep.
Flexible cooling and food preservation
The Hisense RQ5P470SAFD fridge freezer combines Total No Frost with Multi Air Flow, Metal Cooling and Dual-Tech Cooling. These features are designed to distribute cold air evenly, reduce frost build-up and keep the fridge and freezer environments separate.
The My Fresh Choice compartment can be set to -5°C, -12°C or -18°C, allowing it to work as a soft-freeze, medium-freeze or deep-freeze zone. Super Cool, an inverter compressor and two independent cooling systems add useful control for large shops and changing storage needs.
Controls and everyday usability
Integrated Wi-Fi allows temperature settings to be adjusted through the ConnectLife app, while the electronic controls sit behind the door and retailer information a digital LED display. A door alarm, LED lighting in both sections and four wheels with two adjustable front feet make the appliance practical to position and operate.
The specification does not include a water dispenser, plumbed water supply or ice maker. That keeps the layout simpler, but buyers wanting chilled water or automatic ice will need to look elsewhere.
Efficiency, noise and placement
The Hisense RQ5P470SAFD fridge freezer has a D energy rating and stated annual consumption of 235kWh. That is reasonable for a large four-door appliance, but it is not among the most efficient current fridge freezers. Its rated noise level is 35dB(A), with a B noise-emission class.
Hisense lists climate classes from subnormal through tropical, while the energy documentation gives a minimum suitable ambient temperature of 10°C and no winter setting. It is therefore intended for a normal indoor kitchen rather than an unheated garage or outbuilding.
Overall assessment
This is a feature-rich four-door fridge freezer for buyers who value capacity and flexibility. The convertible lower zone, Total No Frost, integrated Wi-Fi and separate cooling systems give it more versatility than a basic fixed-layout model.
The main compromises are the D energy rating, the absence of water and ice dispensing, and the fact that the lower 179-litre area is divided between a fixed freezer section and a configurable two-star compartment.
