    An appliance repairman told me, when my deep freeze died, that the whole "energy savings" ratings was actually what lead to these freezers lasting fewer years than before. Manufacturers started putting smaller motors/compressors in larger freezers. While it did save energy (they added more insulation as this fellow mentioned),it led to a higher strain on the motor/compressor, this lowering the overall longevity. So we deal with more of these huge boxes in our landfills and saving around $20 a year in energy costs. We also have to remember the recycling process (hopefully there is one) takes energy, as well. So, bring back the deep freezer that lasted 25 years. I'd rather pay a little more and keep the extra one or two deep freeze chests out of the landfill, than the $20 extra bucks in my pocket each year.

    4. Outdoor use/warranty
    5. Baskets & layers
    6. Interior light
    7. Open door warning
    8. Ease of defrost
    9. Door lock
    10. Price

    Keep spacers or a wire rack between the floor of freezer so if your box frosts over left open and or just heat from opening over the years your food items and cardboard doesn't stick to sale it is a pain to clean ....best way and fastest way to clean is fill with water and scrub pull drain plug you can get done in 30 minutes leaving yours frozen goods still frozen as you put them back plastic milk crates are amazing if they fit

    Speaking about size... I'd like a 7 cubic on sale, but a 5 would fit better in the cubby in the kitchen. This will sound nuts, but, I'm thinking to place it (the larger one) right "beside" the kitchen. I have carpeting, but there's got to be some kind of metal tray to put under it to protect carpet. What do you think or suggest? Can I do this?

Now I have a non-garage ready one in my sun room that is not heated. I am using a space heater when temps are under 55F. Is there anything that I can install on freezer to make it garage ready or is there any solution to this?

    Weight is also another issue, As a woman I want an chest freezer that is easy to move and you get can much lighter ones. I bought my chest freezer for 149 from Currys and it has enough space. But yes, it is Energy F which isn't great but the other ones were too heavy or they didn't have enough space.

    From past experience I would have to say that a chest freezer beats an upright 10 to 1 any day.
    My current chest freezer is a Sterling model bought from Aldi about 2015.....in all that time I only defrosted it once and that was a month ago when I opened it to get something out and a mouse fell down into it from the shelf above it so out all of the stuff came to get the mouse out and relocate it to the garden.....that was a good time to defrost it and there was so little frost build up it only took 10 minutes compared to my 40 year old (1981) Electrolux upright freezer that takes 1/2 a day to defrost at 3 month intervals............never again will I have an upright freezer or a fridge with an ice box..

    What is the best freezer fridge combo, side by side or top and bottom?

    • @MrFlashPick
      @MrFlashPick 3 года назад +1

      Personally, I prefer side-by-side. This allows you to separate items into most-used and least-used in both the fridge and freezer compartments. It also prevents the freezer from turning into a frozen mass of jumbled items that can’t be individually located or (if it gets bad enough) separated from each other.
      The main downside of this configuration is that it’s difficult to fit really large items into either side. For me, this is rarely a problem. But if you want to be able to place an entire cookie sheet or several 25-lb turkeys into either side, you may want to opt for a different configuration.

    • @lords-electrical
      @lords-electrical  3 года назад +1

      Really depending on the space you have to start with but if you have 60cm gap, then fridge top and freezer bottom, 90cm gap then side by side or 120cm gap then ideally you would want a separate fridge and freezer. This is normally a better option than having them together as you get more space in them apart and if one goes wrong you only lose the food in 1 unit.

      @@jesslynch7293 I get it. Once he does that, the asmr experience loses something. Right now it's pure, natural and not trying to please anyone. We are just here for the experience because we found him. As soon as he starts trying to find us, he'll become the same as all the other whispering teenage girls on here. Sub par. Us humans always want more until all the beauty is sucked out of something. How about just leave it as it is, and enjoy :)
