Why Buy a Large Chest Freezer?
A chest freezer is an excellent option if you want to store up bargains from the grocery store or to be prepared for an unexpected power outage.
These huge freezers, with lids that are on top, are ideal for garages as well as outbuildings. They have a very good energy rating, making them affordable to run and have temperature alarms.
Large Capacity
A chest freezer can be a wise investment for bulk storage. Large chest freezers have more space than the smaller deep freezers that are designed for kitchens and are perfect for garages and outbuildings. They can also be a useful addition in commercial kitchens for bulk food storage.
If you're looking for a colossal freezer that has plenty of space and a variety of features, look into the Whirlpool WHM3111.1. This sleek freezer is extremely quiet and comes with a wide range of high-end options, such as fast freezing and temperature controls that are easily adjustable, an interior light, and a lockable counterbalance lid. The Whirlpool WHM3111.1 can keep your food safe for up to 17 hours during a power cut.
The Cookology CCF99WH is an all-white chest freezer that's on the smaller side however, it still offers a decent amount of space. It's ideal for smaller households and as an overflow option in the kitchen. Frydge is small enough to fit into the space of a utility room and has a capacity of nearly 100 litres which is equivalent of five shopping bags.
This freezer is covered by one year of warranty from the manufacturer. You can also arrange for it to be professionally installed and have your previous freezer taken away at an additional expense. This model is also A+ energy rated and won't cost you a fortune to run. Frost-free technology helps avoid freezing burns and the double top lid design makes it easy to access your frozen goods.
Convenience
A chest freezer is an ideal option for those who cook or bake in large quantities and require additional storage space for their products. A 100-litre freezer is perfect for families with two members. However larger models of 500+ litres are available for large families. The convenience of this type of freezer is difficult to beat, and it is a great method to keep food fresh for longer than they would last in a fridge freezer.
There are many freezers for sale priced around PS200 or less, which makes this type of appliance available to the majority of people. The Currys own brand model pictured above is one of the best value models on the market. It's garage friendly and has a 198-litre capacity, which is enough to hold 11 bags of food items.
The Bush BECF99L is also a great alternative. Its unique design allows it to be placed in the corner of any room, and still offers a decent amount of storage at under PS200.
There are a variety of features to take into consideration when selecting a new refrigerator. Some features are more important than other, but they all have the potential to improve your experience. For instance, you might want a counterbalance lid that stays open when you're searching through it. This keeps you from accidentally banging your head on the lid while you go through your frozen items. You could also search for models that feature an interior light that illuminates the contents regardless of what moment you are sifting your items.
Versatility
One of the main benefits of the large chest freezer is that it can be placed anywhere, unlike the upright models that require access through the kitchen door. This allows you to locate the space in your utility room, garage or unheated outbuilding, which is ideal for those who do not have enough space in their kitchen for an additional fridge freezer but still want some extra frozen storage space.
We have a variety of low-cost chest freezers for you to pick from. The Essentials C95CFW20 with its small footprint, is an excellent example. It can be set in a corner of your house and still have plenty of room within for your frozen food items. It also features an internal LED light and temperature controls and a lid that is counterbalanced so it won't drop on your head while you sort through the contents.
This Hotpoint model is another good budget buy. It provides a little more space than the Essentials but costs less. It's A+ rated and can be kept in your garage or shed. This makes it the perfect choice for those who don't have the space to store a chest freezer, but who need to store their frozen food supplies. It features a handy interior light and a Fast Freeze feature, which lets you keep your latest purchases in the freezer when you return home from the shop.
Energy Efficiency
A large chest freezer is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. It doesn't matter if you have a family or are a dedicated batch cook, or an allotment holder and want somewhere to store your harvest, a freezer is essential to reduce food waste and having a reliable emergency supply of frozen food available.
It is important to keep in mind that these massive appliances require a lot of space in order to function properly and won't fit in a small kitchen or open-plan layout. It is important to think about the location you'd like to keep your chest freezer and ensure that it is able to easily enter and exit your home without having to maneuver around furniture or doorways.
A lot of people use their chest freezers in their garage or outbuilding, and this could be an ideal solution because it offers additional storage space that's not as expensive to run as the fridge-freezer you might find in your main kitchen. However there are a few freezers that are made to be kept in these conditions, and it is important to determine the optimum ambient temperature in the specifications of the freezer.
This model is a fantastic alternative for those on a budget, and is highly efficient in outbuildings. With a capacity of 207L (equivalent to 10 shopping bags) and plenty of internal storage, it also has a lid that is counterbalanced and stays in its open position so that you can easily access food stored at the bottom, without needing to raise it or rummage around for ages. It also comes with an LED light inside and an in-built power failure-safe storage time of 17 hours, which means you won't be left with food that is spoiled if there is a blackout.
