The Hotpoint Retro Fridge is a great thing to have. There are many of us that love the look of the old fridge. There a few drawbacks that you have to consider. A few things to consider might be that you have to pay more to keep the fridge running. The new Hotpoints have a lot better effiency than they didnt 50 years ago. But if you like the look and dont mind paying a few more dollars per month on your electric bill, then grab one up. You also want to find one thats in good shape. This will help you from having one that breaks down within the first week that you buy one. Also another thing to consider is that you might only be able to have a fridge and not a freezer all in one. This is ok just as long as you have room for a freezer by Hotpoint. You might could put this unit on the back porch or somewhere that you have room for it.
Finding of these units thats in good shape locally can be challenging, especially if you live in the states like I do. It will be worth it though when you do find it. Look online to find one thats in great shape and you can get a good deal as well on the Hotpoint Retro Fridge.
There is one that I really like and its the Hotpoint RSR50 unit. This fridge has a salad bin, a freezer compartment that some of the old retros dont have with auto defrost, a 5 bottle wine rack, a shelf that is full width, and 4 old timey glass shelves. This is one of my favorites. If you look for a picture of one online, then you will know why I like it so much. It was used in all the black and white movies and TV shows from the old days. A real classic.
