Chest Freezers & Deep Freezer Chests

Chest Freezers: Room For More

Sometimes your refrigerator just can't cut it when it comes to your ambitious grocery store runs. From frozen veggies, to desserts, to ice and even beauty products, there comes a time when you need some back up in the frozen department. That's why there are chest freezers designed to give you ample extra room for your frozen goods. Although they may differ from your kitchen's original refrigerator, these units open from the top for convenience and energy efficiency. When cold air escapes, the unit has to work to get the inside back up to desired temperature, like the opposite of an oven. To keep that cold air in, even during moments where the door is opened, can keep your food fully frozen, and your energy bill even lower.

Short and Stout

From first glance, you can tell that these appliances are wide and sit close to the ground, which gives them a sturdy and solid positioning wherever this goes, unlike their upright freezer cousins. These units are commonly found in a garage or auxiliary location that can assist your primary refrigerator. Chest freezers are excellent at long term storage but can also be convenient for everyday items such as groceries all the way to bulk storage of meat or other goods. In the event that your home loses power, these have the ability to retain their temperature for an extended period of time as long as the appliance remains closed and sealed. Because these models open from the top, they are efficient at keeping cool air from escaping in large amounts.

Location, Location, Location

There is a wide variety of sizes to choose from, giving you a wide range of locations to place them. In terms of capacity, chest freezers can range from 5 cubic feet to 10, 15, 20 and up to 25 cubic feet of internal space. So although these are commonly found in a garage, there is no limit to where you can keep one of these units. Since they are loaded from the top, it is wise to consider how you store goods in the space that is provided. There are many scenarios where these can be useful for a hunter or someone who fishes, so that the meat can have a long term place to be stored in bulk. The average unit attached to a refrigerator is opened quite often and items are moved around a lot, so it can be advantageous to use a chest style appliance.
