The price you pay will depend on the size and brand you buy. In general, the larger the freezer, the higher the price (when compared with models from the same brand). Small chest freezer pricesGiven that chest freezers are quite large, you may be looking to keep it in your garage. Most freezers aren’t designed to work in rooms that get colder than 10°C, though, so there's a risk that your freezer might not work properly there, and it could invalidate the warranty. There’s a fast freeze function as well as a warning light to let you know when the temperature is too high. And should you experience a power cut, your food will stay frozen for up to 40 hours. The top-opening design of the appliance is convenient and space-efficient, and the temperature control dial at the front of the freezer is so straightforward as to be foolproof. Some chest freezers have a fast-freeze function, which gives an extra burst of cooling power. This can come in handy if any pre-frozen food you've bought from the supermarket has warmed up on the drive home. High temperature warning
What do you want to freeze? Chest freezers are a great choice if you need to freeze bulky items like large joints of meat, or you tend to buy in bulk. Smaller items tend to get lost in cavernous chest freezers, so they're better stored in an upright or fridge freezer.
