Rating of the best freezers in 2020

Buying a freezer seems like a simple matter. It should freeze well and have an attractive design. A search on the Internet gives out a huge number of options that differ in appearance and a set of options. Which models are better? What should be considered when choosing a freezer cabinet for an unheated summer cottage or small apartment? How do you choose the technique that's right for you?

For each customer, there are individual criteria when choosing household appliances: aesthetic preferences, the already existing design of the kitchen space, certain dimensions, personal attitude towards one or another brand, and how much the model you like costs.

Convenient freezer. What is she like?

Technical parameters are an important thing. But first, you should decide on the optimal design of the freezing equipment.

• Vertical camera or cabinet. A well-known and familiar form with a hinged front door. The interior is divided into shelves with pull-out or stationary drawers. All types of products are stored separately without mixing odors. Compact dimensions allow you to put the cabinet in any free, suitable in size, corner.
• Horizontal chamber or chest. Low capacious shape with a single interior space. It does not have dividing shelves, but there may be additional metal baskets for different types of products. A hinged or sliding lid on the top of the basket makes it easy to reach the bag you want.
  Chests are ideal for shops, spacious storage rooms and garages as they take up a lot of space.
• The built-in or free-standing mechanism differs according to the installation option. The former will be more expensive and invisible in the overall design of the kitchen. When choosing, you need to focus only on the functionality of the technique. The latter can be selected for any space parameters and style of your home.

We study the technical characteristics

The cost of a freezer depends on its volume, functionality and brand awareness. Having decided on the purpose of the purchase, its location, and carefully studying the additional options, you can find a budget freezer that is optimal for the kitchen or summer cottage.

1. Dimensions. If you are harvesting your berries and vegetables for a large family, the footage of the kitchen allows you to place a voluminous freezer, purchase equipment with a height of 150 cm.
   A compact but roomy thing will perfectly fit into a small apartment and will not take up a large space.
2. Usable volume determines how many required products a given model can accommodate.If you are used to storing a large amount of vegetables and fruits for a large family, you should think about a volume above 120 liters. It is convenient to store small supplies in a 60-120 l miniature freezer.
3. Number of shelves. The more shelves, the more convenient it is to place different types of freezing. The smells of fish or meat do not mix with the berry aroma, the taste is fully preserved.
   A small cabinet usually has 2-3 compartments, a high one - 6-7 or more shelves.
4. Control. The mechanical type assumes the choice of temperature using a knob-wheel. Electromechanical control has a thermostat. Intelligent electronic control is carried out automatically via the display.

Such different powers

The freezing power allows you to determine the maximum amount of chilled food within 24 hours. When processing a large mass of vegetables and fruits in the summer season, this is a useful indicator.

1. The freezing range shows the possible minimum temperature.
   * - up to -6 ° C, storage no more than a week;
   ** - up to -12 ° C, store no more than a month;
   *** - up to -18 ° C, storage up to three months;
   **** - below 18 ° C, storage for more than 6 months is possible.
2. Defrosting removes excess ice from the chamber walls and allows the refrigerator to operate smoothly and efficiently.

• The manual type is simple and cheap. The equipment is periodically disconnected from the network, all contents are removed, and complete thawing of the ice is expected. Long and expensive procedure.
• Automatic or drip defrosting occurs due to the operation of the compressor. When the mechanism is turned on, ice forms, it melts during the pause, and the drops flow into the storage tank.
• No Frost. The presence of automatic defrosting saves time and effort in caring for the freezer. Constant air circulation prevents ice from forming, which makes operation comfortable. Unfortunately, models with this option are significantly more expensive.

Conserves energy and saves money

Energy saving class. Class A, A +, A ++ determines the high efficiency of the model, but these are also the most expensive options. A lower class of equipment consumes more kilowatt-hours per year. Such household appliances are cheaper, and their use is sometimes justified.

You should not overpay for an energy-saving model if you will be using the equipment for a short time, for example, only during the summer season. Long-term use of the economy class model in the apartment will really save energy consumption.

The climate class determines the optimum outside temperature for trouble-free operation of the freezer.
T - 18-43 ° C, technology for hot countries;
ST - 18-38 ° C;
N - 16-32 ° C;
SN - 10-32 ° С, equipment of this class can work in cool, unheated rooms.

Autonomous preservation of cold. A useful option, especially if there are power outages or frequent power outages. Long-term retention of low temperatures preserves the quality and taste of homemade products.

Additional, but no less important options

• Super freezing (super frost) - a special option for fast cooling down to -32 ° C. It will preserve vitamins and nutrients of vegetables and berries with maximum quality. It is not necessary to turn on the mode constantly, since the increased work of the compressor leads to wear of the mechanism.
• The antibacterial coating of the inner chamber with silver compounds prevents bacteria from developing. Retains the taste and nutritional properties of products for a longer time.
• The Child Safety Lock ensures that a child or pet does not switch modes, turn off cooling, or leave a door open.
• The open door signal will warn about a loosely closed door, or that it has been open for a long time.
• The ice maker in a separate compartment produces the required number of beverage cubes.
• Removable doors allow you not to think about the convenience of opening when moving equipment. Moving the door solves the problem.
• The display shows the internal temperature and makes it possible to change the settings.

Of course, you can only rely on the popularity of the popular model when buying.However, if you take a closer look at the proposed selection in proven online stores, you can find the option that suits you according to all the selection criteria.

The best manufacturers of large household appliances provide warranty service for 3-5 years or more, and there is no need to fear low-quality or defective goods.
