Why Choose a Dedicated Freezer?
A standalone freezer significantly expands your food storage options, helping you save money by buying in bulk, reducing food waste, and cutting down on shopping trips.
These versatile appliances are perfect for families who meal prep, keen gardeners preserving harvests, and anyone who enjoys having a well-stocked selection of ingredients and ready-meals on hand. Modern freezers combine efficient freezing technology with convenient features like frost-free operation and rapid freeze functions that lock in nutrients and flavor while keeping energy consumption in check.
Types of Freezers
Understanding the different types of standalone freezers will help you choose the most suitable model for your space and storage needs.
Upright Freezers
Tall, cabinet-style freezers with shelves and drawers for organized storage.
- Easy access to all items without digging
- Smaller footprint than chest freezers
- Available in various heights (85-185cm)
- More organized storage with drawers and shelves
- Less energy efficient than chest freezers
- Loses more cold air when door is opened
Chest Freezers
Horizontal freezers with a lid that opens upward, maximizing storage space.
- Maximum storage capacity for their footprint
- More energy efficient than upright models
- Better at maintaining temperature during power cuts
- Usually less expensive per liter of capacity
- Items at the bottom can be difficult to access
- Requires more floor space
- Usually requires manual defrosting
Under-Counter Freezers
Compact models designed to fit beneath standard kitchen worktops.
- Ideal for smaller kitchens or as additional freezer space
- Typically 85cm high to fit under counters
- Available in both integrated and freestanding options
- More affordable than full-sized freezers
- Limited capacity (typically 60-100 liters)
- Often less energy efficient per liter
Key Features to Look For
Frost-Free Technology
Eliminates the need for manual defrosting by preventing ice build-up. While slightly increasing energy consumption, the convenience and time saved makes this feature well worth considering for upright freezers.
Fast Freeze Function
Rapidly lowers the freezer temperature to quickly freeze fresh food, preserving nutrients, texture, and flavor. Essential when adding multiple fresh items after a shopping trip or batch cooking session.
Temperature Display
Digital temperature indicators let you monitor the internal temperature at a glance, ensuring your frozen food is being stored at the optimal -18°C for maximum preservation and safety.
High Temperature Alarm
Alerts you if the freezer temperature rises to unsafe levels, giving you a chance to save food before it spoils. Some models also include door-open alarms to prevent accidental thawing.
Storage Options
Look for models with transparent drawers, adjustable shelves, and removable baskets that help organize different food types. Some upright freezers include specialized compartments for large or small items.
Power Failure Protection
Premium models offer extended temperature maintenance during power outages, with some preserving freezing conditions for up to 24 hours. Check the freezer's "temperature rise time" specification.
Reversible Doors
Upright freezers with reversible door hinges provide more flexible placement options, allowing you to adjust the door opening direction to suit your kitchen layout or utility room configuration.
Climate Class
Especially important for freezers placed in garages or outbuildings. Look for models with SN-T climate class ratings that can operate in temperatures from 10°C to 43°C for maximum versatility.
Energy Efficiency and Running Costs
Energy Ratings
Freezers now use the simplified A to G energy rating scale, with A being the most efficient. Most modern freezers fall between C and F ratings, with chest freezers typically achieving better ratings than equivalent upright models.
Since freezers run continuously, investing in an energy-efficient model (D rating or better) can save you significant money over the appliance's lifetime, often offsetting a higher purchase price within a few years.
Running Cost Comparisons
Annual running costs vary significantly based on size, type, and efficiency:
- Under-counter freezer (85L): £45-65 per year
- Mid-sized upright freezer (150-200L): £60-85 per year
- Large upright freezer (250L+): £80-120 per year
- Chest freezer (200L): £50-75 per year
Frost-free models typically use 10-15% more energy than manual defrost equivalents but save you the hassle of regular defrosting.
Choosing the Right Size
Capacity Guide
As a general guideline, plan for approximately 30-35 liters of freezer space per person in your household:
- 1-2 people: 50-150 liters
- 3-4 people: 150-250 liters
- 5+ people: 250+ liters
Adjust based on your food habits—batch cookers, bulk buyers, and gardeners who freeze produce will benefit from additional capacity.
Physical Dimensions
Different freezer types have typical dimensions to consider:
- Under-counter: 60cm × 85cm × 60cm (W×H×D)
- Upright (tall): 60cm × 150-185cm × 65cm
- Chest (small): 55cm × 85cm × 55cm
- Chest (medium): 75cm × 85cm × 65cm
- Chest (large): 90-120cm × 85cm × 65-75cm
Always measure your available space carefully, allowing room for ventilation and lid/door opening.
Placement Considerations
Where you plan to place your freezer affects which type will work best:
- Kitchen: Under-counter or integrated models blend seamlessly
- Utility room: Upright freezers offer good accessibility
- Garage/outbuilding: Look for freezers specifically rated for unheated spaces
- Limited space: Tall, narrow upright models maximize capacity per floor area
- Infrequently accessed: Chest freezers offer better energy efficiency
