The Hisense appliances making life easier for busy families

Best for: Smarter meal prep and hosting large groups

With school lunches, meal prep, and frequent snack requests, fridge space fills up fast, and it’s easy to lose track of what you have. This 615L French door fridge-freezer provides plenty of space for bulk grocery shopping, while flexible shelving helps keep produce organised and visible. A multi-airflow system and antibacterial liner keep your produce as fresh as when you bought it.

The PureView Door lets you see inside without opening the fridge, which is helpful when you’re attending to food on the stove or checking if you’re out of milk. The built-in touchscreen connects to your phone via the ConnectLife app, so you can keep track of food and expiry dates, and even view recipe ideas when you need meal inspiration or simply don’t have time to think. You can also use simple voice commands to help with cooking, like setting timers.

Another impressive feature – entertainers take note – is the bottom compartment’s ability to slowly defrost food in one-degree increments, from freezer to fridge temperature. What does this mean? If you’re having a weekend barbecue, you can load up the compartment with frozen meat and not have to worry about shifting it to a different area to defrost at the last minute.

Key features: 

• Large 615L capacity suited to busy family households and bulk grocery shops. 

• French door design makes it easier to access wide items like platters and trays.

Best for: A dishwasher that works harder to clean and dry dishes + reduces benchtop clutter 

If you run your dishwasher several times a day, you need one with enough space and horsepower. The Hisense Series 9 dishwasher can handle big family loads or post-party cleanups, delivering spotless results.

With room for 16 place settings and adjustable racks, pots, pans, awkward dishes and tall glassware can be washed in one go. 

At the end of a cycle, the door pops open automatically to let steam out, and the powerful fan dries dishes thoroughly, leaving no moisture residue and no need to towel-dry or transfer them to the dish rack.
