By John Brown


It is essential to have a clear shopping plan when preparing to buy an expensive product, such as a chest freezer. You will need to keep in mind factors such as size, energy usage and capacity of the freezer as well as other things to ensure that you find the right chest freezer.

The Noise Element

Look for a freezer that is quiet to avoid the irritation of tons of background noise constantly in your home or work area. Find a quiet model can be an important part in you satisfaction level with your final choice.

The Location Element

Where will the freezer's home be? Knowing exactly how much floor space you have to accommodate the appliance, as well as the temperature of the room or area in which it will be kept is an important part of the decision. Measure the area available to avoid being stuck with a model that is too big for the space intended. Most freezers have specific instructions about the temperature of the rooms in which they are housed, be sure to pay attention to that information to avoid nasty shocks.

Blackout Effectiveness

If you happen to be in a place that is prone to natural disasters and regular black outs, then check the amount of time the freezer can keep your food frozen without power. This will be found in the instruction manual as well as online reviews. Checking other customers' reviews will help as black out tests have shown that manufacturer and customer experiences greatly differ.

Maintenance and Defrosting

Most chest freezers for sale available today are self-defrosting, but this isn't always the case with chest freezers. Manually defrosting freezers have less consistent temperatures throughout the appliance, with temperatures varying as much as 19 degrees in some cases.

However, manually defrosting freezers are usually less noisy and are cheaper to run than auto defrosting models. Remember also that manually defrosting a freezer can take a lot of time so please be sure to weigh this out according to your own personal needs.

Temperature & Food Safety

Ensuring that your food does not become spoiled is the fundamental job of a freezer so ensure that the temperature range of the model is exactly what you want. Even though almost all chest freezers can maintain temperatures of less than zero degrees F, upright freezers can have differing temperatures amongst the doors and upper shelves. So make sure you take this into consideration.

Shopping for a new appliance can be daunting, but by researching and knowing exactly what you need you can save loads of time and disappointment and find the perfect chest freezer for your space.
