Needing some extra freezer space? How to know if a Chest freezer will help.
Additional freezer space is a must-have for households where time is of the essence, helpful for meal prep, efficiency when it comes to doing a bulk grocery shop or just a place to store the extras. Let’s see if a Chest freezer is the right type for yours.
A Chest Freezer is a storage solution for goods not reached for on the daily like bargain bulk meats, tubs of ice cream, bags of frozen fruit or veg or freshly caught fish. Keep it all in an optimal environment for longevity across usable capacity volumes from around 140 litres to around 500L and up to 700L from Hisense and Westinghouse.
Chest Freezers can snap freeze fresh foods or homemade meals to lock in nutrients and flavour for the long haul (bot not for longer than recommended). Some have a Super or Quick Freeze setting for sensitive foods like fresh seafood are frozen to their core very quickly.
Manual defrosting is required to remove ice buildup on the interior walls so Chest Freezers come with a drainage outlet to drain the water out. This is important to stay on top of to ensure the optimal running and efficiency of the Freezer.
Chest freezers are nice and deep for stacking plenty of frozen goods, hence the common, interchangeable reference between “deep freezer” and “chest freezer” – they are the exact same thing.
Chest freezers can be great for deep freezing large volumes of fresh and frozen-bought foods for the long term, while Upright or Vertical freezers are great for supplementing your existing fridge freezer by stashing the extra frozen foods you can’t otherwise fit.
Many Chest Freezers are efficient despite their large volume, such as a 4 Star Energy Rating model with a huge 705L usable capacity and anodized inner lining for better thermal efficiency to reduce energy consumption.
Keep in mind that allowing cooked meals to fully cool before freezing, limiting the time the freezer lid is open, allowing for adequate ventilation and limiting the time an accelerated freezing function is used will all help with keeping energy consumption to a minimum.
Remember to compare Chest Freezers of the same usable capacity to get a like for like understanding on the energy efficiency of the one you’re keen on, and then gauge what the average annual running cost will be by referring to the Australian Government’s Energy Rating site. For an annual energy cost estimate multiply the kilowatt hours (kWh) noted on the energy label by the cost of electricity in your area.
