Hamilton Beach HBFR7500 - Built-In Freezer?

Started by harmlessstorm28 on June 30, 2024

I'm looking at getting a new fridge and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Hamilton Beach HBFR7500? Specifically, is it true that it doesn't have a built-in freezer?

The HBFR7500 is actually a top freezer model. So it does come with a separate compartment for frozen items. Overview of the Hamilton Beach HBFR7500 Refrigerator provides more information on this fridge.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't aware it was a top freezer model. That's good to know, as I prefer that style. But what about the size of the freezer? Can anyone comment on how much room there is for storing frozen foods?

The freezer in the HBFR7500 has a capacity of 1.72 cubic feet. It's not huge, but it should be sufficient for most people's needs. I've had mine for about six months now and I find it does the job well enough.

Just wanted to chime in about the HBFR7500. The refrigerator itself has a capacity of 5.78 cubic feet, which is pretty good for storing fresh foods. As others have mentioned, the freezer compartment isn't huge, but it should be adequate for most households.

Thanks for all the feedback! It sounds like the HBFR7500 could work for me. I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on energy efficiency? Does this model save on electricity bills?

The HBFR7500 is not Energy Star certified, so it might not be as energy-efficient as some other models on the market. You may want to look into other options if you're really concerned about saving on electricity costs.

Good point, @Laststraw2017. However, the price of this fridge is quite reasonable compared to some of the Energy Star models I've seen. It might be worth it for me in the long run, even if it's not the most energy-efficient option out there.

That's true, and sometimes you have to weigh the cost savings against the upfront cost of a more expensive, but energy-efficient model. It depends on your specific budget and priorities.
