he AEG 7000 Series OAG7M281EX stands out for its solid build quality and thoughtful design. It features large, easy-to-open drawers that make organising food far more practical than the chest freezer it replaced. The upright design ensures quick access and better organisation, especially if you often need to store and find items quickly. Setting the temperature is simple with its easy-to-use controls, though it’s too soon to comment on the effectiveness of the frost-free feature. That said, it’s reassuring knowing you won’t have to manually defrost it. While the manufacturer claims energy efficiency improvements, I haven’t had a chance to verify this yet. However, one clear benefit is its whisper-quiet operation, which makes it a great choice for those looking for a freezer that won’t disturb the household. One minor downside was swapping the door to the opposite side. The instruction manual lacked clarity, and some screw holes were either filled or not obvious. This could be challenging for someone unfamiliar with DIY tasks, so it’s something to be aware of if you’re considering doing this yourself. Overall, this freezer offers excellent functionality and convenience, with a few minor improvements needed in the setup instructions.

We love the number and size of drawers in the freezer, it makes getting anything in the freezer very easy. The best bit is the light is at the front at the top so it is not blocked by any items in the freezer, simple idea.

It's a freezer - it works
