Though a chest freezer has a long lifetime but we also want to know just <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-long-do-chest-freezers-last.html">how long do chest freezers last</a>? Also what could be causing a chest freezer to stop functioning properly and whats needed to be done to maintain your chest freezer. 
<h2>
How long do chest freezer last?</h2>
 
Someone had a 15cu chest freezer from GE that could last over 20 years until it stop functioning because of compressor failure. I think an average lifetime of a chest freezer is 20 years and if you maintain it then the chest freezer could even last for more than 30 years. 
 
These days we are seeing energy star rated chest freezer and although it’s good to have an energy efficient freezer but some people stated all chest freezers that had energy star rated usually are using smaller compressor than the pre-energy star freezer,  a smaller compressor also means shorter life time, these energy star chest freezer can only last for about 10-15 years while the previous one could last 20-30 years. 
<h2>
Maintaining Your Chest Freezer</h2>
 
In order to have a long lasting chest freezer you also can do some preventive maintenance work such as clean the condensor coils regularly and also the chest freezer motor, you can use vacumm or compressed air, also be sure to keep the back of the chest freezer clean and if you start hearing strange noises then it’s probably the time to replace it with a new one. 
 
So how long do chest freezers last is solely depend on what models that you are using and also what kind of preventive maintenance that you’re performing on a regular basis.

Hi today I want to share to you about <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-does-chest-freezer-work.html">how does a chest freezer work</a> to give you a much better understanding about a chest freezer and what’s differentiate it from another type of freezer, e.g. Upright freezer also what makes a chest freezer to be much more efficient in energy consumption. 
<h2>
How does a chest freezer work?</h2>
 
Did you know that the more foods we store in the chest freezer will make more efficient? I heard some people even had deliberatly  left their expired foods inside just to make the chest freezer to be more efficient, the truth is that a chest freezer can work more efficient when it’s full but it doesn’t mean that you have to fill it with expired foods, you can also put a water jugs. 
 
The way that <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-more-efficient.html">a chest freezer can work efficient</a> is because of its design where you find the door to be on the top of the freezer, it’s like having an upright freezer that lay on its back actually. But by having the horizontal lid will prevent the cold air to fall out when it’s opened and a chest freezer also has a thicker insulation than an upright freezer that will make it more energy efficient. 
 
The best thing about a chest freezer is that you can use a solar panel for its source of power and this can’t be done with an upright freezer and you can also use a chest freezer as a refrigerator but using an additional tool that can automatically turn on and off the chest freezer. Such tools are temprature controller, wall timer or a new thermostat using a relay switch that can control its temprature. 
 
So that’s the answer to <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-does-chest-freezer-work.html">how does a chest freezer work</a> and how it can be more efficient than any other type of freezer, please share your experience about its energy consumption using a chest freezer on <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/">chest freezer reviews.</a>

Chest vs upright freezer which one to choose?

On Thursday, May 15, 2014 Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

Deciding which freezer that will suit your needs the best is very important and if you’re still confuse about choosing between a <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-vs-upright-freezer-which-one-to.html">chest freezer or upright freezer</a> then today I want to give you some insights that will help you to decide which one is the best choice. 
<h2>
Chest VS Upright freezer showdown</h2>
 
Chest freezer has been proven to be more energy efficient and you can also store more foods inside the freezer and not just that, a chest freezer is also able to maintain its cold temperature much better than an upright freezer because the lid is on the top of the freezer so when you open it, the cold will not flow out into the floor and that will also affecting its energy consumption to be more efficient. 
 
But the bad thing about having a chest freezer is that you’d need a wide floor space and if you don’t <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-organize-chest-freezer.html">organize the freezer</a> properly then you can easily become very frustrated when you want to find any food inside the fridge.  Just imagine looking for foods in the abyss of frozen foods. 
 
An upright freezer in the other hand is not as wide as the chest freezer so if you have a limited space in your room then it will be fine and an upright freezer is also can become a nice complement into your room because of its elegant design and you also will find it very easy to get any foods from the freezer because you can see much better viewing of the space inside. 
 
But the bad thing about having an upright freezer is its higher energy consumption compares with a chest freezer because of the way the door located, whenever you open the door, the cold air will fall out into the floor and then the freezer will try to maintain the cold temperature and causing more energy consumption. 
So I hope now you can decide which freezer is the best one for you, chest or upright freezer.
