Ranking of the best freezers in 2022

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

For each buyer, there are individual criteria when choosing household appliances: aesthetic preferences, the existing design of the kitchen space, certain dimensions, personal attitude to a particular brand, and how much the model you like costs.

Convenient freezer. What is she?

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

• Vertical chamber or cabinet. A well-known and familiar shape with a hinged front door. The interior is divided into shelves with drawers or fixed drawers. All types of products are stored separately without mixing smells. Compact dimensions allow you to put the cabinet in any free, suitable size corner.
• Horizontal chamber or chest. Low roomy 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 cover on the top of the box makes it easy to get the right package.
  Chests are ideal for shops, spacious pantries and garages, as they take up a lot of space.
• Embedded or freestanding mechanism differs in 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 equipment. The second can be chosen for any parameters of space and style of your home.

We study the technical characteristics

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

1. Dimensions. If you are preparing your berries and vegetables for a large family, the kitchen footage allows you to place a large freezer, purchase equipment with a height of 150 cm or more.
   A compact but roomy thing will fit perfectly into a small apartment and will not take up a lot of space.
2. The usable volume determines how many desired 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. Small stocks are conveniently stored in a miniature freezer 60-120 liters.
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 qualities are fully preserved.
   A small cabinet usually has 2-3 compartments, high cabinets have 6-7 or more shelves.
4. Control. The mechanical type involves selecting the temperature using a wheel knob. The electromechanical control has a thermostat. "Smart" 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°С, storage no more than a week;
   ** — up to -12°С, store no more than a month;
   *** — up to -18°С, storage up to three months;
   **** — below 18°С, storage for more than 6 months is possible.
2. Defrost removes excess ice from the walls of the chamber, and allows the refrigerator to work smoothly and efficiently.

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

Saves 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 technology consumes more kilowatt-hours per year. Such household appliances are cheaper, and their use is justified.

You should not overpay for an energy-saving model if you will operate the equipment for a short time, for example, only during the summer season. Long-term use of an economy class model in an 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, technique for hot countries;
ST - 18-38°C;
N - 16-32°C;
SN - 10-32 ° C, equipment of this class can work in cool, unheated rooms.

Autonomous cold storage. 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

• Superfrost (superfrost) is a special option for rapid cooling down to -32°C. The maximum quality will preserve the vitamins and nutrients of vegetables and berries. You should not turn on the mode constantly, as the increased operation of the compressor leads to wear of the mechanism.
• The antibacterial coating of the inner chamber with silver compounds prevents bacteria from developing. It preserves 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 the cooling, or leave the door open.
• The open door signal will warn you if the door is not tightly closed, or if it has been open for a long time.
• An ice maker in a separate compartment produces just the right amount of drink cubes.
• Removable doors allow you not to think about the convenience of opening when rearranging equipment. Moving the door solves the problem.
• The display shows the internal temperature and allows you to change the settings.

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

The best manufacturers of large household appliances give warranty service of 3-5 years or more, and you can not be afraid of low-quality or defective goods.

Our rating of high-quality models, with a detailed description of the advantages and disadvantages, will help you make the right choice.
