The Hisense RB390N4WC1 is the value champion: a fully frost-free 304L fridge freezer (207L fridge / 97L freezer, 60/40) that typically costs around half the Bosch. It adds a non-plumbed, fill-yourself water dispenser that is rare at this price, runs at 39 dB(A), and at 186cm tall fits more kitchens than the 203cm Bosch and Samsung. Owner feedback is very strong across a large number of reviews. It sits at fourth because the savings come with trade-offs: its energy class F rating (around 287 kWh/yr) means higher running costs, its 207L fridge is smaller than the Bosch (279L) and Samsung (276L), and Hisense doesn't carry the long-term reliability reputation of Bosch or Liebherr. If you want frost-free at the lowest sensible price and can live with those compromises, nothing here matches its value. Pricing is indicative from around £275.
