Freezers

A chest freezer gives plenty of space for modest running costs, but you have to dig to find anything. An upright model with drawers is easier to organise and takes up less floor space. How long it holds its temperature during a power cut and how quickly it freezes fresh food matter if you store a lot. Location counts as well: not every appliance copes with an unheated garage.

The buying guide

Choose by use

The right product depends on the situation. Each page below takes the category’s criteria and changes their weight for one specific need.

Freezer for a holiday home A house left empty for weeks needs power failure autonomy and low energy use far more than capacity or fast freezing performance. Read Quiet freezer for a studio flat In a studio where the freezer shares the living space, quietness matters far more than capacity or freezing speed. Read Freezer for game or fishing hauls To freeze large amounts of fresh game or fish at once, freezing capacity matters far more than quietness or energy consumption. Read

Read the full method
Freezer capacity
Measures the usable volume available for freezing and storing food: the longer the bar, the more generous the storage space.
Noise level
Measures the noise emitted during operation: the longer the bar, the more unnoticeable the appliance is in daily life.
Annual consumption
Measures the electricity used over a year: the longer the bar, the lighter the energy bill.
Freezing capacity
Measures the amount of fresh food the appliance can freeze in one day: the longer the bar, the faster large batches freeze.
Power cut autonomy
Measures how long food stays frozen without electricity: the longer the bar, the safer the stock in case of a power cut.
Price positioning
Compares the price found to that of comparable freezers on the market.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a freezer A freezer is chosen first on its capacity and how quiet it runs, then on its annual energy use and its ability to freeze quickly and keep food safe during a power cut. The site’s ratings compare each appliance against these benchmarks to tell apart models that look similar at first glance. Read the guide
