This model was tested before we changed our fridge freezer test programme in 2023. For full details on how we've changed our testing, head to our guide on 'how we test fridge freezers'. The large fridge fared very well, with a narrow spread of temperatures from top to bottom and a mean average of pretty much 4 oC. Both salad drawers averaged just below 4 oC, which is ideal for salads and fresh fruit, and varied by just +/- 1 oC throughout. If you are interested in buying the Hisense RQ560N4WCF American fridge freezer, make sure you don’t pay over the odds.

In the freezer there are six separate compartments. The right hand freezer compartment (My Fresh Choice) offers a temperature range between -20ºC and 5ºC, great flexibility dependent on whether you have more fresh or frozen food to store.Last year we said Hisense’s FMN432A20C offered great features and impressive performance at a very attractive price. The new RQ560N4WC1 builds on the four-door French-Style theme with outstanding flexibility, excellent lighting in the fridge and freezer, and a new chilled-water container with handy dispenser on the front door. This sleek, 4-door Multi Door fridge freezer with built-in LED Display, Touch Electronic Control and water dispenser is great for families who need plenty of space for both fresh and frozen food. What’s more, the Total No Frost function with Multi Air Flow for even temperature distribution means there’s no need to ever worry about defrosting. Plus, the Dual Tech Cooling with My Fresh Choice and super cool and super freeze functions allow you to tailor the way you chill or freeze your food, depending on your needs.

The top freezer drawers with their open front took a little while to get used to. The jury was out on their practicality at first, as you’d clearly be able to stuff more in them if they had full fronts like traditional drawers. Yet the easy-access to regular items was handy, even more so when you consider they were so well illuminated from above by the freezer LEDs. The performance and energy efficiency is right up there with the old model and, at this price, all we can really criticise is the slightly odd logic of the digital controls and basic drawer runners making for rather stiff drawer access. Once again, Hisense has come in with a great product at an outstanding price. Verdict

This Hisense RQ560N4WCF American Fridge Freezer comes in a stainless steel type finish. It not as wide as a standard sized American product (by roughly 12cm), so a good option if you are tight on space. It has a large fridge section at the top with freezer drawers below. Only the top shelf struggled to remain as stable as the rest of the fridge compartment, with short-term peaks up to 7 oC and chilling that dipped as low as -2 oC, albeit for just a few minutes. This could potentially cause mild frost damage to soft fruits, but since most people tend to store bottles and jars up there, it’s unlikely to be a big issue.

We measured just 39dB on average, with an occasional peak to 40-41dB. That 39dB average is a superb figure and up there with some of the more affluent cutting-edge tech fridge freezers that use linear compressor motors. As with all traditional compressors they’ll become a little nosier over time, but only by a couple of dB… probably just about enough to get up to the figure of 43dB stated on the energy label. Hisense RQ560N4WC1 – How well does it perform? You can dispense chilled water straight from the fridge door with the non-plumbed water dispenser, this is fed from a water tank inside the fridge, which you manually fill. The Hisense Super Freeze functions rapidly stabilise the temperature of food as soon as you’ve put it in your freezer, which means it retains more nutrients and moisture, tastes great and stays as fresh as possible At the bottom, the two independent freezer compartments can be run at different temperatures to suit the contents. The left-hand side is a traditional freezer, with a temperature range of -15 to -25 oC, while the right-hand compartment can be set from -5 to -18 oC. That covers all the bases from traditional freezer (-18 degrees) to soft-frozen foods such as ice cream and deserts (-12 oC) and even short-term fish and meat storage (-5 oC). We also found the -5 oC setting ideal for speed-chilling wine and beer for summer parties. Both freezers offer three drawers, the upper of which is an open-style bin for easy access. The lower left drawer houses a removable “twist and serve”-style ice cube maker and both compartments offer LED illumination – which we so rarely see in a freezer. Top marks all round, Hisense.
