Great size, good value
4/5
I needed a bigger freezer after moving home & downsizing meant I had to get rid of my American style fridge freezer. This meant that my other upright freezer wasn’t large bough as my only freezer. I knew that I wanted a freezer with a light, a door open alarm, & a temperature display. I looked at a Samsung model, which I really liked, but couldn’t justify the higher price.
This fits all my criteria & is attractive too, although it’s in my utility room so not an issue really!
Pluses are the great capacity, the light, frost free, ease of use, glass shelves rather than plastic coated wire as with my previous freezer.
Minuses- the top shelf has the same irritating‘issue’ as with my previous freezer - in that it’s not straight above it, there is a curved top- this means that some space is wasted as many time s won’t fit to the back of the shelf due to this curve. It’s not a deal breaker but is an irritant!
I’d have preferred more open glass shelves rather than more drawers as so much easier to see items & get them in & out . With a drawer or flap to a shelf , if your freezer door abuts a wall then it has to be accounted for in order for it to open wide enough to drop the flap down &/ or slide a drawer in/ out.
There were a couple of slight scratches to the edge by the handle - nothing major but I noticed them!! If it’d been in my kitchen I might’ve considered having a replacement but as it’s in the utility it’s not too bad.
The handle is great, with its ease of release & it feels strong & good quality.
It seems quiet, although as it’s in my utility I obviously don’t notice it anyway!
All in all, for it’s price & capacity I’m very pleased with it.
