About the Hisense RB327N4WWE
The RB327N4WWE is a freestanding bottom-freezer model in white. It stands about 182cm tall and 55cm wide, and weighs 51kg. Total No Frost means neither compartment needs defrosting. The doors can be reversed, so the hinges can go on either side to suit your kitchen.
Hisense lists 256L in total, made up of 171L of fridge and 85L of freezer. Retailers often sell it as 50/50, but those figures put roughly two-thirds in the fridge. The fridge has three adjustable shelves, one crisper drawer, three door bins, a wine rack and LED lighting. The freezer has three drawers.
The water dispenser is in the fridge door and is not plumbed in. You fill a tank through a cover on the left side of the cabinet and lift the tank out to refill it. The manual warns against pushing the lever without a cup under it, as water can leak. It is a single manual shared with the RB327N4WCE and RB327N4WBE colour versions.
Euronics lists a freezing capacity of 5kg in 24 hours and a power-failure hold of 13 hours. It is rated E for energy and climate class SN_N_ST.
What owners report about the Hisense RB327N4WWE
Owner feedback we could open for this exact model is mostly from recent buyers, so it says little about how it lasts over years. What it does say is positive. Owners rate it as good value, and describe it as roomy, with plenty of shelving. They also say it runs quietly.
The water dispenser draws most of the complaints. One owner had cold water leaking and stopped using the tank. Another had a dispenser fault that was sorted with a replacement. A third found the instructions unclear. Beyond that, one owner disliked the wire bottle shelf, which limits the space on the shelf below.
Freezer size did not come up as a complaint in the reviews we read, though the 85L freezer is small on paper.
Who the Hisense RB327N4WWE suits
It suits a couple or small family, a flat, or a kitchen with a narrow gap, who want frost-free cooling and a water dispenser on a budget. The reversible door helps in awkward layouts. Treat the 50/50 label with caution: you get about 171L of fridge and 85L of freezer.
Look elsewhere if you freeze in bulk or batch cook. The Hotpoint H5X 82O SX has roughly 104L of freezer, and the Samsung Series 6 RB38C636DB1/EU is taller. If you do not want to refill a tank by hand, skip the dispenser or choose a model without one, such as the Beko CFG4552W.

Other fridge freezer picks
The other badge winners in our fridge freezers ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 19 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
