Hisense French Style Fridge Freezer With Ice & Water RF793N4SASE Stainless Steel Review, Prices & Score
Compare current retailer offers alongside a detailed BestBuysUK product review and Score.
🏆 Review & price summary
The Hisense RF793N4SASE fridge freezer is built for households that need maximum storage and modern convenience. Its 612-litre layout, Total No Frost system, plumbed ice and water dispenser, integrated Wi-Fi and flexible fridge storage make it a strong large-kitchen option. The main compromises are its E energy rating, substantial footprint and requirement for a mains-water connection.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Very large 612-litre total volume with 397 litres of fresh-food storage
- ✓ Total No Frost, Multi Air Flow and Metal Cooling reduce maintenance and support even cooling
- ✓ Plumbed dispenser supplies chilled water, cubed ice and crushed ice without opening the doors
Worth considering
- E energy rating and 340kWh annual consumption are behind the most efficient fridge freezers
- It needs a mains-water connection for the dispenser, so installation is less flexible than with an unplumbed model
- At 914mm wide and 730mm deep, it needs more kitchen space than standard-width fridge freezers
- There is no listed crisper-pan humidity regulator, and the appliance uses one independent cooling system rather than separate cooling circuits

Hisense's official product information lists a 196-litre four-star freezer compartment plus a separate 19-litre ice-making compartment, while the retailer’s supplied information presents these together as 215 litres. Hisense also specifies four glass fridge shelves, rather than the three stated in the retailer’s supplied information.
Storage and layout
The Hisense RF793N4SASE fridge freezer offers a very large 612-litre total volume, including 397 litres for fresh food. Its French-door layout keeps the main refrigerator area at a convenient height, while the lower freezer section uses drawer-style storage for easier organisation.
The fridge area includes four glass shelves, six door trays, a full-width pantry, a Cool Fresh Box and a sliding shelf for taller items. The freezer specification separates a 196-litre four-star compartment from a separate 19-litre ice-making compartment.
Cooling performance
Total No Frost and automatic defrosting in both compartments remove the need for routine manual defrosting. Multi Air Flow and Metal Tech Cooling are designed to distribute cold air evenly, while the inverter compressor and Super Cool and Super Freeze modes support stable temperatures and faster chilling after loading fresh groceries.
The freezer has a stated freezing capacity of 7kg in 24 hours and a power-cut safe time of 14 hours. A 37dB(A) noise figure is respectable for an appliance of this size, although the single independent cooling system is less sophisticated than separate-circuit designs.
Convenience and controls
The plumbed dispenser supplies chilled water, cubed ice and crushed ice without opening the refrigerator doors. Hisense states that the ice maker can produce up to 1.8kg of ice per day, making the dispenser useful for entertaining and frequent cold-drink use.
Integrated Wi-Fi, an electronic door-mounted control panel, digital temperature displays, LED lighting and a door alarm give the appliance a strong convenience specification. The connected controls and food-inventory features are more advanced than those found on simpler freestanding fridge freezers.
Installation and running costs
This is a freestanding appliance measuring 1785mm high, 914mm wide and 730mm deep, so it needs careful checking against available kitchen space, door-opening clearance and delivery access. The required mains-water connection also makes installation less flexible than an unplumbed model.
The E energy rating and stated annual consumption of 340kWh are the main efficiency compromises. The appliance offers a substantial feature set and storage capacity, but its running efficiency is not class-leading.
