Where to buy the Hisense RS9P628GPFE fridge freezer
🏆 Review & price summary
The Hisense RS9P628GPFE American fridge freezer combines 614 litres of storage with Total No Frost, a plumbed ice-and-water dispenser, integrated Wi-Fi and a large smart screen. Its 399-litre fridge section and 200-litre four-star freezer compartment suit large households, while fast freezing, Multi Air Flow and an inverter compressor provide a strong core specification.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 614-litre total capacity with a generous 399-litre fridge compartment
- ✓ Total No Frost and automatic defrosting in both compartments
- ✓ Plumbed ice-and-water dispenser with fast freezing and 12kg daily freezing capacity
- ✓ Inverter compressor, Multi Air Flow, Metal-Tech Cooling and LED lighting
- ✓ Four fridge shelves, two freezer drawers and extensive freezer shelving provide flexible organisation
Worth considering
- E energy rating and 343kWh annual consumption are behind the most efficient fridge freezers in the category
- 38dB noise output and a C noise-emission class are higher than the quietest large fridge freezers
- The ice-and-water dispenser requires a permanent mains water connection, restricting placement and adding installation work
- The appliance has no winter setting and is documented for ambient temperatures from 10°C, so it is unsuitable for an unheated garage or outbuilding

The retailer’s supplied information's shelf and drawer counts differ from Hisense's own specification; this review follows Hisense's published storage layout.
Capacity and storage layout
The Hisense RS9P628GPFE American fridge freezer offers 614 litres of total volume, split between a 399-litre fresh-food compartment and a 200-litre four-star freezer compartment, with a further 15-litre two-star section in the freezer door.
Hisense specifies four glass shelves in the fridge, four fridge-door trays, two freezer drawers, five freezer glass shelves and two freezer-door shelves. LED lighting is provided in both compartments, with additional space for bottles, eggs and fresh produce.
Cooling and freezing performance
Total No Frost and automatic defrosting in both compartments remove the need for routine manual defrosting. Multi Air Flow, Metal-Tech Cooling and an inverter compressor are designed to distribute cooling consistently throughout the appliance.
The freezer has a verified freezing capacity of 12kg in 24 hours and a fast-freeze facility. The appliance uses one independent cooling system rather than separate cooling circuits for the fridge and freezer.
Smart features and dispensing
A plumbed ice-and-water dispenser provides chilled water and ice directly from the mains supply. The appliance also includes integrated Wi-Fi, ConnectLife support, electronic door controls, digital temperature displays, a door alarm and a 21-inch smart screen.
The smart screen supports practical functions such as shopping-list, food-inventory and recipe features, although the connected controls add complexity compared with a conventional fridge freezer.
Installation, noise and efficiency
The Hisense RS9P628GPFE fridge freezer is freestanding and measures 1,790mm high, 910mm wide and 730mm deep. It stands on four wheels with two adjustable front feet, but the plumbed dispenser means a suitable water connection is required before installation.
Its E energy rating and 343kWh annual energy consumption are respectable for a large American-style appliance but not class-leading. The 38dB noise output carries a C noise-emission class, and the documented operating range starts at 10°C, with no winter setting for cold outbuildings.
Verdict
This is a feature-rich, high-capacity American fridge freezer for buyers who will use its smart screen, connected controls and plumbed ice-and-water dispenser. Total No Frost, fast freezing and generous storage strengthen its everyday practicality.
The main compromises are the E energy rating, the need for a water connection, the 38dB noise level and the lack of a winter setting. It is best suited to a properly heated kitchen with ample width and plumbing available.
