Types of Freezers and Their Qualities
Freezers are essential kitchen appliances for those who prefer to shop for food items in large quantities to save time and money. Owning a standalone freezer can be more convenient and cheaper than purchasing a large refrigerator with a freezer section.
Standalone freezers come in various sizes, convenient for home and commercial use. However, we can classify them into four basic types with distinct qualities.
1. Chest Freezer
As the name suggests, chest freezers are box-shaped with a hinged lid. Chest freezers offer a lot of storage space but take up more floor space than other freezers. Chest freezers do not have a fan and are subject to temperature inconsistencies. Most users like placing meat and other permanently frozen items at the bottom.
Chest freezers also come with organizers and baskets to help separate food items. It is also almost impossible to leave the chest freezer door open.
2. Upright Freezers
Upright freezers are taller than wide, taking much less floor space than chest freezers of equal capacity. Upright freezers have adjustable racks and door bins, giving them better organizational options. They are ideal for storing smaller quantities of individual items.
Upright freezers are auto-defrosting, making them easier to maintain and clean than chest freezers.
3. Drawer Freezers
Drawer freezers are ideal for large and restaurant kitchens. They provide easy access to various food ingredients stored in different compartments. The drawer design offers extra food separation – you can keep meat and vegetables in separate drawers.
Drawer freezers come in different finishes, customizable to enhance kitchen aesthetics. They are also the size of standard cabinets and fit well in the kitchen.
4. Portable Freezers
Portable freezers are smaller in size, ideal for the outdoors. They have replaced traditional ice coolers for camping, boating, or picnics and use AC or DC power. Using a portable power cable, you can also plug some portable freezers into your car’s cigarette lighter housing.
