BUYING GUIDE

When your regular refrigerator’s freezer isn’t cutting it anymore, or you need extra space to store bulk items, an upright freezer can be a lifesaver. These freezers stand vertically, making them easier to organize and access, and they come in a variety of sizes and features. Here’s what to consider when shopping for one.

1. Size and Dimensions
Know where you’re going to place the freezer before you buy it. Measure the available space, considering not just width and height, but also depth. Don’t forget to account for the door swing and air circulation around the unit.

2. Capacity
Size matters when it comes to storage. Upright freezers generally range from 10 to 25 cubic feet. Consider your storage needs and opt for a model that can accommodate them.

3. Energy Efficiency
An upright freezer is a long-term investment. Opt for a model with a good Energy Star rating, as it will consume less electricity and help you save on energy bills over time.

4. Manual vs. Self-Defrost
Manual defrost freezers are usually more energy-efficient but require you to defrost them periodically. Self-defrost models do the work for you but might cause a bit of freezer burn on the food over time.

5. Shelving and Compartments
Consider how the inside of the freezer is designed. Look for adjustable shelves, door bins, and drawers that can help you better organize your items.

6. Temperature Control
Some advanced models offer digital temperature controls for more accurate settings. This is particularly useful if you’ll be storing a variety of foods requiring different temperatures.

7. Noise Level
If the freezer will be placed in a living space, noise could be a concern. Check product reviews or specifications to gauge how noisy a particular model is.

8. Door Locks
A door lock is an excellent feature for households with small children or if you’re concerned about security, particularly for garage-placed units.

9. Reversible Door
A reversible door can swing open in either direction, offering you flexibility in where you can place your upright freezer.

10. Quick Freeze Features
Some models have a quick freeze function that rapidly lowers the temperature, a useful feature when you need to freeze a large quantity of fresh food quickly.

11. Interior Lighting
Good interior lighting can help you find what you need without digging through the freezer. LED lights are bright and consume less energy.

12. Price and Warranty
Prices can vary widely depending on the features and brand. Make sure you also look into warranty options to safeguard your investment.

By taking the time to consider these features and options, you can make an informed choice about which upright freezer best suits your needs. Happy shopping!
