The Hisense REF470DR 470L Double Door Refrigerator (without ice maker) is a versatile 4-door, no-frost model optimized for medium to large Kenyan households, emphasizing energy efficiency, flexible storage, and modern design without the added complexity of an ice maker or water dispenser. This variant shares the core specs of the REF470DR lineup but omits those features for a simpler, potentially more affordable build—ideal if you prefer manual ice trays or don’t need on-demand chilled water.
