Black Chest Freezers
Black chest freezers are spacious and provide plenty of space for frozen food items. They are a great option for areas that suffer from power interruptions, since they can keep food frozen for longer than upright freezers.
Find a model that offers interior lighting, especially if you’re storing it in a dark garage or basement. This feature will allow you to find your food more quickly and help reduce energy consumption.
Capacity
Anyone who has to store extra frozen food can benefit from the chest freezer. You can store leftovers, seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as your own home-cooked meals in them. Many models come with removable baskets and dividers to allow you to arrange your food items however you prefer. You can also find models that are energy efficient and require less power to operate.
Make sure you choose models designed to withstand cold temperatures if you want to store the freezer in a chest in your shed or Lg frigde garage. Some models are built to function in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius.
This budget model has nearly 100 litres of extra freezer space, and fits perfectly into an empty corner of the kitchen. It’s not frost free and doesn’t have the ability to display temperature in a digital format, but it’s cheap enough that the compromises are easily tolerable.
This chest freezer is a great alternative if you’re looking for a larger freezer, but don’t need to pay an extra amount for the top of the best model. Its 255-litre capacity gives you plenty of space to store summer icecreams and stews that are cooked in batch during winter. The sleek gloss black finish looks great with any decor. It comes with an automatic defrost and drain system, and a vinyl-coated basket that helps you divide your food.
Energy efficiency
A freezer can be an excellent addition to any kitchen. It will also help to reduce food waste by freezing extra foods. However, it can increase energy costs because it requires more energy to keep frozen foods cool than a refrigerator.
To lower your energy costs, consider buying a Energy Star qualified chest freezer. These models are insulated with foam and use a type of refrigerant called 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, which does not deplete the ozone layer and is considered safe for indoor usage. Upright freezers use more energy because they have a larger footprint, and are not as well insulated.
Chest freezers can provide more storage space than upright freezers as they are wider and lower to the floor. However, they can take up lots of floor space. They also require enough space to accommodate the height of the door which can swing left or right.
To save space and money, consider an upright freezer that has built-in storage baskets to keep food organized. A wire basket lets you to store more food items on a smaller surface than shelves. This is an ideal option for families who have little storage space. Defrosting with either a manual or automatic method can also make a chest freezer more economical to run. Self-defrosting lg fridge models use less energy to run than one that is manually defrosted and it also cycles off and on periodically to prevent the buildup ice.
Noise
The black chest freezers make less noise than upright freezers, making them ideal for your shed, garage or outbuilding. If you hear a sound at night, it’s likely due to the normal expansion and contraction in the freezer walls. This isn’t enough to keep anyone awake. Some models are exceptionally quiet, with an average of only 38dB. You won’t have to be concerned about the neighbors or your family with loud lg appliances. Currys’ own brand Logik provides a selection of silent black freezers that are affordable. Garage-friendly freezers can be purchased for less than PS200. They are equipped with over 50 litres in storage space.
Defrost time
The majority of chest freezers have to be defrosted manually. This means you have to unplug the appliance and then open the door to melt the ice. However certain models are easier to defrost than others. The GE FFP245LDBS is in this category. It comes with an adjustable basket for simple organization and an internal light and a counterbalanced lid that will not strike you on the head when you go to pick up frozen pizza from the bottom of the freezer. It also comes with an lg Integrated Fridge handle with recessed insulation for energy efficiency.
Chest freezers are typically purchased to add storage space. They are great for storing large ice cream tubs and bags of frozen vegetables or meat sections. The majority of them have huge capacities and come with a lid that opens from the top. Some come with bins and dividers to assist in organizing, while some are self-defrosting, and have locks.
Some freezers can last for up to 48 hours without freezing, provided the door is closed. This is great for emergencies, but if you have to keep the freezer open for extended durations be sure it is in a cool spot and has plenty of airflow. Also, be careful not to put anything that is warm in the freezer, since this can affect the temperature and cause it to defrost faster.
