Hisense REF286DR 286 L Bottom Mount Fridge

The Hisense REF286DR 286 L Bottom Mount Fridge with Inbuilt Water Dispenser is a stylish 286 litre bottom‑mount freezer fridge that marries convenience with performance in a slim, modern design. Its flat-door, recessed-handle aesthetic offers a sleek look, fitting seamlessly into contemporary kitchens. Beneath the elegant exterior lies engineered functionality: a spacious 200 L fridge complemented by an 86 L freezer—optimized for family use and large beverage storage with its XXL door balcony.

An integrated water dispenser is elegantly built into the door, featuring a removable 2 L reservoir for chilled water on demand—no plumbing required. Hisense’s Multi‑Air‑Flow and Micro‑Vents technologies ensure even cooling throughout the compartments, reducing temperature fluctuations and preserving freshness. Adjustable humidity crisper drawers let you fine-tune storage for produce and meats, while tempered-glass shelving provides sturdy, easy-to-clean surfaces.

Under the hood is a modern inverter compressor that intelligently adapts its cooling capacity, resulting in quieter operation, improved energy efficiency, and extended lifespan. Additional features include LED lighting for visibility, reversible doors for flexible placement, and “Super Freeze” mode to rapidly chill items.

Although users appreciate the fridge’s capacity and design, some have voiced concerns over Hisense’s customer service and reliability in other fridge models. These anecdotal feedbacks may be worth considering for long‑term ownership.
