Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hisense RS741N4WBE is the number two pick in this guide: a 578-litre side-by-side American fridge freezer in black, with a non-plumbed water dispenser, listed at £719.00 and rated 4.4 out of 5 from 94 reviews. It is the most expensive of the five prices quoted in this guide, and it is the only one of them that never divides its capacity claim into two compartments. Where other listings here print a fridge figure and a freezer figure that do not add up, the Hisense prints one figure — 578 litres — and leaves you to work out the split yourself. The closest thing to a breakdown is the same bullet's claim that it "holds 32 bags of food shopping".
The dimensions disagree with themselves. The product title gives 90.8 × 179.3 × 74.3cm (W×H×D); the bullet below it gives H179 × W90.8 × D74.5cm. Width and height match, the depth does not: 74.3cm against 74.5cm. The feature list has a loose end of the same kind, naming an External Ice Dispenser while the title specifies a non-plumbed water dispenser. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — we have not measured or tested the appliance ourselves.

Questions people ask
How much fridge space and freezer space does the Hisense RS741N4WBE have?
The listing gives a single figure of 578 litres and does not split it between the two compartments. The only other indication of usable space is the same bullet's claim that it holds 32 bags of food shopping.
What are the exact dimensions of the Hisense RS741N4WBE?
The title says 90.8 × 179.3 × 74.3cm (W×H×D) and the bullet says H179 × W90.8 × D74.5cm. Width and height agree; the depth differs by 2mm between the two.
Does the Hisense RS741N4WBE dispense ice?
The title describes a non-plumbed water dispenser and the spec list gives the dispensed type as Cold water, but the special-features field also says External Ice Dispenser. The listing does not settle which applies.
Does the Hisense RS741N4WBE need plumbing?
The title calls the water dispenser non-plumbed, so it does not require a mains water connection. The separate External Ice Dispenser line in the special-features field is not explained anywhere in the listing.

The listing states Energy Class E, entered under the field labelled Configuration. No annual consumption figure is given.
