Chest Freezers

Make the right choice

When you’re picking out a chest freezer, you might want to consider a few things before ordering. Make sure it's got a large enough capacity to suit your needs and that it’ll fit neatly in the space you’ve earmarked for it. If you plan to put it in a garage or outbuilding, make sure it’s got clever tech that makes it run in colder temperatures – some models are just built different. Look out for tech like Winter Guard on Fridgemaster freezers, Freezer Guard on Beko models, or Russell Hobbs’ Winter Shield. Next up is energy rating. This will give you an idea of how much it’ll cost to run. They go from A to G, with A being the most efficient. The higher rated models might cost a bit more up front, but they'll save some pennies in the long run.

Top tech

Now you’ve got the basics covered, what about some flashy features to make your life easier? Fast Freeze on Hotpoint models rapidly drops the temperature for new food, keeping it fresher for longer. And if the little ones might be grabbing ice cream every now and then, Hoover’s counterbalanced lid makes access that bit safer. You can even save yourself time defrosting with Low Frost Technology.

Keep things cool

Looking after your appliance will help it last longer and perform better, so it’s worth cleaning the coils every now and then. This will keep the motor running well. Regular defrosting will also help it do a better job of keeping your food fresh. And one to keep on top of is making sure you don’t overfill it – let the air circulate around different food so the motor doesn’t work too hard.
