Product Information

Head to our guide to the best freezers and chest freezers for garages for more advice on freezer climate class. What size chest freezer should I buy? Secure Trust Bank PLC (register number 204550) is authorised by the PRA and regulated by the FCA and the PRA. It can keep your foods cold for as long as three days when there are power outages, or you're moving to another home, as long as its lid is not open. As chest freezers are usually used as a secondary freezer, many people utilise space in their garage, shed or other outbuildings for this additional food storage. These outbuildings are often not insulated, and the internal temperature can plummet as the weather gets cold. Not all freezers will work in very low temperatures, look out for the optimum ambient or room temperature in the freezer specifications. Most chest freezers work effectively between 10 and 43°C, but if you want to keep it outside your house, you will need one that can work in lower temperatures. At this price, you don’t get all the bells and whistles such as a digital temperature display or temperature warnings if you’ve left the door open. However, if you get a power cut it will keep food cold for up to 17 hours. It comes with one storage basket that slides from left to right so you can easily access the food below.

Some chest freezers have a fast-freeze function, which gives an extra burst of cooling power. This can come in handy if any pre-frozen food you've bought from the supermarket has warmed up on the drive home. High temperature warning If price is your main priority, this simple freezer will do the job and give you extra space for summer ice creams or batch-cooked winter stews.What do you want to freeze? Chest freezers are a great choice if you need to freeze bulky items like large joints of meat, or you tend to buy in bulk. Smaller items tend to get lost in cavernous chest freezers, so they're better stored in an upright or fridge freezer. The top-opening design of the appliance is convenient and space-efficient, and the temperature control dial at the front of the freezer is so straightforward as to be foolproof.

Given that chest freezers are quite large, you may be looking to keep it in your garage. Most freezers aren’t designed to work in rooms that get colder than 10°C, though, so there's a risk that your freezer might not work properly there, and it could invalidate the warranty. Chest freezers do not come with a fan. This restricts the air circulation, which causes its temperature to be inconsistent. Nevertheless, as long as your chest freezer can keep a below-freezing temperature, it will not harm your foods.If you decide not to keep it in the house, the Winter Guard technology means it will work in temperatures as low as -15°C so it’s ideal for a garage or shed too. The price you pay will depend on the size and brand you buy. In general, the larger the freezer, the higher the price (when compared with models from the same brand).
