A Guide To Buying The Best Chest Freezer

By John Brown


If you find that you need to store more things than what your fridge already gives you, then it might be a good time to consider buying a chest freezer. This article should help you clear all the questions and doubts that you may have when deciding on what freezer you would like to get.

Size and Space

Have a look to see if you have enough space for cheap chest freezers in the first place. Is there enough room for a chest freezer, where it is width is greater than its height? Or is there only room for an upright freezer, where its height is greater than its width. This is the first thing you should consider before all other features.

Freezer Location

After selecting what type of freezer you want, you will need to find where to put your freezer. Avoid putting it near sources of heat, such as those areas exposed to direct sunlight. Being near such sources will make the machine work extra harder to stay cooler, which will result in increased energy costs and reduced efficiency.

Freezer Features

A freezer will have many features that may or may not appeal to your needs. Have a look at some of the features below to see what you would like to have in an ideal freezer of yours:

- Adjustable storage baskets and shelves to allow you to store your food more easily

- Controls to change the inside temperature of your freezer to provide the best conditions for food preservation

- An alarm to alert you to extreme temperature changes that can cause food spoilage. Open doors are the most likely culprit. Closing the door quickly will prevent defrost and food spoilage, and an alarm will alert you to this possibility.

- An automatic defrost function to prevent ice from building up. Be alert that this feature decreases the machine's efficiency and may also reduce the life of the food kept inside the freezer

- A door lock mechanism to stop little kids from opening the freezer door. This feature can stop food from getting spoiled as well as prevent children from getting accidentally trapped inside

- A warranty for food spoilage will legally protect you from faulty freezers. If in the event that it does fail, then this warranty will be able to reimburse you for loss of produce

- Freezer lights to facilitate you to find the things you need to find inside the freezer

- A door seal that is magnetic to act as a tight barrier to prevent hot air from entering and cold air from escaping

- Textured steel doors that will help hide fingerprints, and reduce the time you need to spend cleaning the outside of your freezer
