Advice on freezers
View our top 5 articles
Different models
You can choose between different freezer models. A compact freezer is useful in a small apartment. Do you want to freeze more groceries? An upright freezer or chest freezer suits you better. Choose a built-in freezer if you want to hide the appliance in your kitchen.
Freezer in the shed
Are you looking for a freezer for in the shed, garage, or basement? Not every freezer is suitable for unheated areas. Make sure to check the minimum ambient temperature of the freezer. You can find this on the product page. The area can't be colder than this ambient temperature, because the product will get damaged.
Never defrost again
After a while, the freezer will get ice buildup. Don't feel like defrosting the appliance? Choose a model with No Frost. This technology prevents ice buildup, so you don't have to spend as much time on maintenance. In addition, it keeps freezer drawers and packaging free from ice.
Save energy
A freezer consumes a lot of energy because it's always on. That's why it's important to check the energy consumption. You can find this on the energy label. At the moment, a C energy label is the most energy-efficient. The retail price of a C freezer is more expensive than of an F model, but you'll easily earn back the difference. Over the entire lifespan, your energy costs will be significantly lower with a freezer with C energy label or higher.
Build quality
We divide the build quality of freezers into 3 categories: basic, mid-range, and high-end. We determine the build quality based on different specifications that say something about the lifespan of the appliance. For example, anti-ice buildup, an anti-vacuum handle, or a replaceable door seal. A high-end freezer lasts longer than a basic model, so you can enjoy your purchase for longer.
Built-in freezers
The advantage of a built-in freezer is that you can neatly hide the appliance behind your kitchen cabinets. Thanks to this, the appliance will fit nicely into your kitchen interior. For a built-in freezer, it's important to measure the niche dimensions precisely and to determine the right type of door hinge.
