Five cubic feet, 141 liters, of freezer space in a cabinet measuring 25 by 22 by 33.5 inches is the trade this chest freezer makes: ample frozen storage without surrendering much floor area. Chest freezers hold cold better than upright ones because cold air sinks and stays put when the lid is opened from above, and that advantage is reinforced here by a tight seal gasket that improves thermal insulation around the whole opening. Temperature is set across 7 levels, moving between -20 and -12 degrees Celsius, which is -4 to 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit, so the setting can be pushed cold for long-term storage or eased back for items that turn over quickly. Cooling uses R600a refrigerant and runs at 42 decibels, quiet enough to sit in a room where noise would be noticed. The lid stays open where it is put rather than falling shut, which frees both hands for loading and unloading, and sturdy metal hinges carry it reliably through repeated use. A removable storage basket measuring 15 by 5 by 5.5 inches keeps frequently used items at the top instead of buried, lifting out entirely when the full depth is needed. An ice shovel is included. Defrosting and cleaning are handled through an external drainage hole, so meltwater runs out to a container rather than being bailed from the bottom by hand. Recessed door handles sit flush with the cabinet for a clean profile and nothing to catch a hip in a narrow walkway. Built from galvanized steel sheet, aluminum and PVC, it weighs 53 pounds and runs on 115-volt power at 1.1 amps.
