TOP 20 best freezers: 2021 rating by price/quality and which No Frost model to choose for your home

Updated: 12/13/2020 Recently, freestanding freezers have become increasingly popular. This home kitchen appliance allows you to make all the necessary supplies for the winter, freeze fresh fruits, berries, vegetables, meat, fish or prepared semi-finished products.

Frozen foods retain their beneficial properties and taste longer. Their preparation takes less time, effort and additional costs. Many people have already purchased freezers for their home, appreciating the benefits of such a purchase.

What parameters and criteria should you pay attention to when choosing:

• Type of equipment.
  Cabinet or chest. The freezer looks like a regular single-chamber refrigerator; instead of shelves, there are separate compartments or containers. Chest freezers are horizontal freezers that are loaded from above, have a larger volume, and are suitable for freezing large-sized products.
• Volume.
  It can vary from 100 to 500 liters. Here you need to consider how many products the camera is intended for.
• Freezing power.
  Manufacturers offer devices with a capacity from 4 to 35 kilograms per day; the higher it is, the greater the amount of food that can be frozen in one day.
• Type of control.
  Control can be carried out mechanically, electronically and electromechanically. The first type is the simplest and has a lower price for the equipment used. The electronic method is the most convenient, but it is necessary to protect the freezer from voltage surges. Electromechanical control is more reliable and simpler, but eliminates the accuracy of settings.

It is also worth paying attention to such parameters as:

• Design.
• Number of cameras.
• Noise level.
• Economical energy consumption.
• Quality of materials.
• Duration of maintaining low temperature when switched off.
• The presence of an open door indicator.
• Possibility of shock freezing.
• Has wheels for easy movement.
• Product weight.

We present the rating of freezers for the home 2021. The best 15 models that were selected by our experts based on user reviews and ratings.
