Chest Freezer, advice needed please

SpeedyTurtle_2

Hi All,

I want to buy a medium sized chest freezer preferably 150L (5 cu feet), not keen on no-frost option. The freezer will be placed in the lounge at the moment but we might move to new place where we can consider to put it in the garage. I have learnt beko/fridgemaster/fridgidaire are good for this purpose, but not sure how good these are in general.

I have done some research on the internet about freezers and it leaves me confused which brand to go for. Can somebody please advise me out of their experience, observation what will be the best one for excellent value. If somebody could point out to some great deal it will be great too.

Cheers

Frost free freezers are by far the best, no work involved.

Also, you cant put all freezers in the garage due to the ambient temperature, specially during the winter.

I was told that Beko do those which you can put in a garage.

Decide wich one you want, then shop around on the internet.

I saw an undercounter freezer which is just what I wanted, found prices as follows.

Currys £149

Comet £119

Dixons £109

All for the same model machine.

Good luck.

So kind of you McKneff, I really appreciate your prompt response. I have had a look at the model you mentioned if I am not wrong, its size is 102 L which will be a bit small for our needs. So you are in favour of Beko, I am tempted now too, any more advice please, will make my case strong before OH lolz:D

my first advice would be, do you really need a chest freezer, rather than an upright one, as you are more likely to loose food in a chest freezer, and stuff at the bottom is a real pita to get to - they are really only good for storing milk and bread, or large cuts of meat

as for brands, ive had cheap ones and been perfectly happy with them, but someone else will prob be along soon to say that their gold plated, diamond encrusted one is still going strong after 20yrs

if you plan on putting it in a garage, then you should be looking for an SN class freezer (unless the garage doesnt get too cold)

Thanks flea72 for your reply. I am not particular about brands to be honest. Anything which works fine, will be sufficient for us. Do you have any suggestion about particular model ?
