What is a chest freezer?

Chest freezers are intended to provide extra freezer storage where needed and are perfect for those that like to purchase food in bulk or make and store prepared meals for later use. The chest design makes these units ideal for storing in utility rooms, basements or garages and is best for storing food you don’t need access to every day. The capacity varies in cubic feet from 2.1 all the way up to 24 and larger. Basic features usually include dial thermostats, manual defrost, basket storage and some come equipped with locks.

Chest freezers usually come with auto defrost or frost-free options. Chest freezers with manual defrost option takes almost a day to complete the task. These chest freezers contain a built-in sidewall insulation that has the ability to hold their cold temperatures well for a longer period of time and therefore use less energy to function. Most importantly, if you are facing power outages or you are moving to another house, a un-plugged chest freezer can keep the products cold for almost 3 days, as long as the lid is closed. Chest freezers are also quite convenient as they come with at least one wore-basket in order to organize the content flawlessly. 


Why choose a chef freezer?

The extremely cold temperature of a freezer slows down the rate of bacterial growth in food and allows you to store items like meat for months, even years.

A chest freezer is less expensive than an upright freezer with the same cubic feet of interior space. A chest freezer is also more energy efficient than an upright model, so you save money on your electric bill.

Chest freezers have a reputation for being disorganized, forcing you to dig through food to find what you need. However, the newest models include bins and drawers that are sometimes even color-coded, so you can neatly arrange your food inside. The best models include interior LED lighting to help illuminate your storage space brightly and evenly. This makes your food easy to find in a full freezer.

This type of freezer is shorter and wider than an upright model and takes up more floor space. You need to bend down in order to put food in and take it out. Chest freezers also need to be manually defrosted, while upright models have auto defrost options. Be prepared to squat and hunch over to clean your chest freezer out.
