Shopping for a freezer for your home or garage?
Check out these simple tips for choosing the best freezer for your home or garage.
If you’re in the market for a freezer, here’s a few factors to consider before making your purchase. This post will break down what you need to know about freezers, from size and space considerations to getting the most out of your purchase.
Consider Energy Efficiency Ratings & Features
We suggest that you consider a freezers energy rating when shopping for a freezer. Energy Star-rated freezers are designed to be cost-efficient and use less energy. Energy Star is a trusted symbol of energy efficiency. Energy Star appliances have to meet criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the US Department of Energy.
These products are considered to use less energy and can potentially save you money on your electricity bill. Ask our knowledgeable staff to learn more about the benefits of Energy Star-rated appliances.
Freezer Features
Many deep freezer models have features like bright interior LED lighting, wire shelves, removable storage baskets, manual defrost, flexible interior storage, door-ajar alarms, frost-free designs, and a built-in drain for convenience. Many of the freezers we carry are considered garage ready.
Garage Ready Freezers
Garage-ready freezers can be used in the garage or in your home. Garage ready means the freezer is designed to handle hot or cold temperatures outside while maintaining an optimal temperature inside.
So you can store your freezer in a hot or cold garage without worrying about the room’s temperature affecting the freezer’s ability to maintain a proper temperature.
Look For Size, Shape, and Design To Meet Your Needs
Consider the size, as well as the shape and design that fits your space or garage. Freezers come in a range of sizes, from compact small chest freezers for small spaces to larger chest-style freezers where you can store bulk items. For those who love a space-saving design, upright freezers often have a smaller footprint and take up less floor space.
Choose Between a Chest Freezer or Upright Freezer
Upright freezers are stand-up freezers that have a rectangular shape, making them a great choice if you don’t have much space to work with. An upright freezer may be perfect for those who have limited space.
They usually feature two or three freezer compartments, so it’s easy to find what you need. For those who find it difficult to physically bend over to retrieve items from the bottom of a chest freezer, an upright deep freeze lets you store food at eye level or within easy reach.
With a chest freezer, newly purchased items are often placed on top of older items. So it may take a bit more work to keep frozen foods rotated for freshness.
Chest freezers are available in a nice variety of sizes. They often have a removable storage basket and other convenient features.
Common Deep Freeze Sizes
Our most common chest freezers come in 5 cubic foot capacity and 7 cubic foot capacity. A popular size for upright freezers is between 13 – 19 cubic feet. If you want a space-saving option, we can help you find the perfect small upright freezer to suit your needs. We also have larger deep freezers available.
