Frequently Asked Questions

Can a chest freezer be used as a fridge?

Yes, some chest freezers come with a convertible function that lets you switch between fridge and freezer modes. Models like the Midea 142L, 198L, and 418L chest freezers offer this feature. You can set them to freezer mode for long-term storage, or switch to fridge mode for chilled drinks and perishables. Temperature ranges typically go from around -18°C (freezer) to 5°C (fridge), giving you more flexibility throughout the year.

Are chest freezers frost-free?

Most chest freezers are not frost-free. They need manual defrosting, which is a good thing in many cases. It’s one of the major advantages that helps maintain consistent cold temperatures and keeps energy use low.

Plus, since chest freezers use static cooling, they don’t dry out your food like frost-free models sometimes do. Just defrost them every few months to keep things running smoothly.

What size chest freezer do I need?

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose:

  • Small chest freezers (100–150L): Ideal for singles, couples, or as a secondary freezer.
  • Medium chest freezers (150–300L): Perfect for families of 3–5 people..
  • Large chest freezers (300L+): Best for large households, batch cooking, or commercial use.

Consider how much space you have, how often you shop in bulk, and what kind of items you freeze most often too.

How long will a chest freezer stay cold without power?

A chest freezer can keep food frozen for up to 48 hours during a power outage if you keep the lid shut. Its thick insulation helps lock in cold air, especially in larger models.

To extend that time:

  • Don’t open the lid unless necessary.
  • Fill any gaps with frozen bottles of water or ice packs for added insulation.

Are chest freezers energy efficient?

Yes, chest freezers are typically more energy-efficient than upright models. Their horizontal design helps retain cold air better, especially when you open the lid.

Look for models like the Midea 198L or Imprasio 688L Chest Freezer, which offer 3-star energy ratings and features like fast freeze, mechanical temperature control, and climate-optimised performance. You’ll save on power bills without compromising on performance.
