Tips For Purchasing A Great Chest Freezer

By John Brown


Sooner or later, you may find that you run out of space in your refrigerator. Instead of buying a brand new refrigerator, this may be the perfect time for getting a new chest freezer. If you have never owned or bought a freezer, then fear not, we will be going through the things you should keep in mind when buying one.

Size and Space

You should first consider if you have enough space to place your freezer, keeping in mind that chest freezers are normally longer in width than height, in contrast to an upright freezer which is longer in height than in width. If you find that you do not have enough space for cheap chest freezers, then perhaps another style of freezer, like an upright freezer, would suffice.

Freezer Location

After you decide on the style, you will then need to consider location. You will want to avoid placing your freezer near any heat source, including direct sunlight. Being near a heat source will force your freezer to work harder than it should to stay cold, resulting in a loss of efficiency and money.

Freezer Features

There are many features that come with freezers. Have a look below to determine what features you would like to see in your new freezer:

- Shelves and storage baskets that are easily adjustable to allow easy storage of food

- Easy temperature control to ensure the right temperatures for your food

- An alarm to warn you of massive changes in temperature that will result in food getting ruined

- Auto defrost that prevents a build up of ice. Be aware that this feature will decrease energy efficiency and will shorten the life of food kept in the freezer.

- A door lock to stop young children from opening the door regularly. Not only will this help stop your food from getting bad but also to prevent certain catastrophes, such as your child getting trapped inside the fridge, from happening

- A food spoilage guarantee to make sure that in the event that the machine breaks down, you will be legally covered to have your foodstuffs compensated

- Fridge lighting to help you see everything inside

- Magnetised door seal to ensure that no cold air can leak out and no hot air can enter

- Textured steel doors to cover up fingerprints, and also to decrease the need and the time to clean the outer parts of the freezer
