5 Moments You’ll Wish You Had A Hisense Chest Freezer

October 31, 2024 - 4 min read

Whether you've got a hungry horde at home or you just love knowing your favourite snack is always in stock, having a chest freezer can transform your kitchen, your mealtimes and even your grocery budget. These large-capacity, super-chilled sidekicks not only declutter your primary fridge-freezer, but also save you trips to the supermarket, plus the latest Hisense freezers also hide handy hybrid modes beneath their lids.

Introducing the Hisense 145L Hybrid Chest Freezer – and its big brothers in 200L or 300L capacities – which lets you effortlessly switch between fridge and freezer modes, so you can stock up on frozen pizzas and ice cream before the kids’ sleepover or turn down the chill to store the barbecue leftovers.

Looking for even more reasons to add a Hisense hybrid chest freezer to your kitchen kit? In this article, we’ll explore six occasions when you’ll be especially grateful to have made the upgrade.

1. When You’re Shopping Bulk Buys

Everyone loves bagging a bargain on their weekly shop, and one of the best ways to save some dollars is to buy in bulk. With a Hisense 200L Hybrid Chest Freezer at home, you’ll have stacks of space for a full rib fillet, two chickens, snags and nuggets for the kids, two-for-one frozen cheesecakes…and so much more! And, with Hisense 360 Degree Cooling you can rest assured that every corner of your cavernous cooler is evenly chilled.

“Consider the size of your household, your shopping and cooking habits and the space you have available to choose the right size chest freezer for you,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Refrigeration. “But don’t underestimate how easy it’ll be to fill a chest freezer once you’ve experienced the benefits – you might find you want a bigger one than you first thought.”

2. Sunday Afternoon Meal Prep

Ditch the expensive cafe meals and prepare healthy work (or school) lunches for the week. A large pot of chilli con carne and a batch of blueberry muffins will do the trick, and you can portion and freeze the lot ready to grab and go from your Hisense 145L Hybrid Chest Freezer. Movable wire baskets make it simple to access your most used items, and while you’re organising containers in the rest of the freezer, the self-standing door will stay open, leaving your hands free.

3. Big Family Gatherings

Your turn to host family Christmas? Too easy. Preparation is key, and with a Hisense chest freezer in the garage or on the weather-proof deck you can stock up on hams, prawns and ice without having your primary fridge-freezer overflow. After the guests have left, simply switch your Hisense 145L Hybrid Chest Freezer into fridge mode and you’ve got space for the leftovers. Ham toasties, anyone?

“Hybrid chest freezers are a popular choice for anyone who loves to entertain, since the extra space means you can start organising your charcuterie, drinks and meals well in advance, and you won't have to send anyone off to grab more ice mid-event.” Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Refrigeration

4. Change Of Seasons

Foodies love chest freezers because they defy the changing of seasons. When your favourite summer berries are about to disappear from the shelves, snap-freeze a batch. Leafy greens about to spike in price? Snap-freeze them. With Electronic Temperature Control in your Hisense Hybrid Chest Freezer, you can Fast Freeze foods at the touch of a button. The durable inverter tech uses the minimum amount of energy needed to achieve perfect cooling conditions. And, with your favourite fruit and veg to hand, you can make curries, smoothies and your famous fig chutney all year round!

5. In Case Of Emergencies

When storm season is approaching, you clean out your gutters and tidy up the garden and adding a chest freezer to your household is another way to prepare. If your place is prone to being isolated by floodwaters, or you don’t fancy a trip to the supermarket in dicey weather, a chest freezer has the capacity to store ample supplies for the whole family. Bread, milk, meat, fruit and veggies can all be frozen ready for when you need them. In case power is interrupted, chest freezers can also maintain low temperatures for longer periods (up to 48 hours), but making room for extra bags of ice is a good idea.
