Is a chest freezer better than an upright?

Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

A new buyer once asked me this question, “<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/is-chest-freezer-better-than-upright.html">is a chest freezer better than an upright</a>?” I know this question is also asked many times by people who want to buy a chest freezer because buying a freezer is not a cheap investment and you’d want to make the best of it. 
<h2>
So is a chest freezer better than an upright?</h2>
 
When we want to compare two products then we need to know its pros and cons to see which one fits our needs the most so let’s get started! 
 
A Chest Freezer 
 
The Good 
 
The good thing about having a chest freezer is being able to store food much longer and also much larger capacity than an upright freezer and a chest freezer is also able to holds cold much better because when you open the door, the cold air will not fall out from the freezer and that way the freezer wont have to use any extra energy to maintain its temperature and resulting a lower energy consumption that will affect your utility bill. 
 
The Bad 
 
The bad thing about a chest freezer is that you’d need to have a larger floor space then an upright freezer and it’s also not easy to locate and take any items out of the freezer unless you have <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-organize-chest-freezer.html">organized the chest freezer</a> properly and if you care about looks then a chest freezer might not be your best option. 
 
An Upright Freezer   
The Good 
 
An upright freezer doesn’t need to much floor space and it will look nice in your kitchen because of its elegant design and you also will be able to access all the items inside the freezer easily. 
 
The Bad 
 
The bad thing about an upright freezer is its energy consumption and you’d expect a higher electrical bill than a chest freezer. 
 
So there you have it the answer to “<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/is-chest-freezer-better-than-upright.html">is a chest freezer better than an upright</a>” question, I hope you can find the best one that will be suitable for your needs and if you’re on a tight budget then you can try <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-cheapest-chest-freezer-in-town.html">the cheapest chest freezer in town</a>, so which one is the right for you?

We know that a chest freezer is not cheap but more people are now more interested in purchasing a chest freezer than an upright freezer and today I want to help you finding the cheapest chest freezer in town.
 
<h2>
What is the cheapest chest freezer?</h2>
 
While most of the chest freezers will cost you more that $200, there are some that you can buy under that price tag, and now here’s some of the cheapest chest freezer reviews but it’s not actually cheap because the normal price is still quite expensive so I try to find the best deal online.
 
 
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C4R0AL6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00C4R0AL6&linkCode=as2&tag=kekayonlin-20&linkId=D6DUCNXIUZ3LFITE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#1.  Haier America 5.CF Chest Freezer ($171.69) </a> 
 
Now the regular price is $381 but right now they have a huge 55% discount for this particular model, I found this model at the AMAZON and the review for this model is quite good. 
 
The Haier 5.Cf chest freezer can hold up to 175 lbs of frozen food and also comes with an easy to move basket where you can organize all the items you put there and you also will have drain to defrost the chest freezer. 
 
But it’s only recommended for a small family because it’s not too big, it’s more like a small chest freezer and it doesn’t have any light indicator. 
 
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093HJID6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0093HJID6&linkCode=as2&tag=kekayonlin-20&linkId=OSLXM337HEJSOMT4" target="_blank">#2. Midea HS-129C Single Door Chest Freezer, 3.5 CF ($130)</a> 
 
The regular price tag is $219 but  you can buy it with a 41% discount. This model is taller than the Haier model but it’s not as wide as the Haier model.  The Mide chest freezer can store food up to 226 lbs, it’s very quite and not like Haier model that still make a little noise while running. 
 
There you have it! The 2 most cheapest chest freezer that money could buy, but remember that it’s not a big chest freezer and can be categorized as a small chest freezer but if you have a small family then these chest freezer will do just fine.

First you need to make a plan just how much food do you need for a whole year, for example you can list all the foods such as half of cow, 2 pigs, 100 chickens, 2 turkeys and so forth, the smallest possible chest freezer that you can have is about 9 cu.ft while the large one is 35 cu.ft, while you can’t put all of them using one chest freezer, you can have several chest freezers to store all of your foods. 
 
If you don’t want to have several chest freezers then you’d probably can split your inventory so instead of one year inventory, change it into half of year inventory and how big the chest freezer will be is also depends on the size of your family, it means that if you’re a small family then you don’t really need a super big chest freezer. 
 
You also might want to check your local farmers and ask them if you want to buy chickens or a slaughter house and ask them for a special price, they usually have a much better meat quality than what you found on a grocery store and with a good price too.

A temperature controller can stabilize the temperature inside your chest freezer by turning it on and off automatically but that way your beer will not be too frozen and easy to thaw and in order to do that you’d need a thermostat control unit. 
<h3>
Buy a thermostat control unit?</h3>
 
A thermostat control unit is basically an external tool that can be easily plug into a chest freezer and turn it into a kegerator by programming its temperature. 
 
I would recommend you to buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00368D6JA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00368D6JA&linkCode=as2&tag=kekayonlin-20&linkId=I5TCK6FOKML2PKXR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Johnson Controls Digital Thermostat Control Unit</a>, because it’s fully wired and can be used to program your chest freezer temperature by setting a target temperature so that it will turn off your freezer at a certain degrees easily and convert your chest freezer into a kegerator in no time. 
 
It’s a perfect small device that would be perfect for homebrewing and it’s very easy to use to keep the temperature inside your chest freezer at the perfect serving degrees, so go ahead and check out johnson digital thermostat controller and convert your chest freezer into a kegerator right away.

<h2>
Why do you need a chest freezer for breastmilk?</h2>
 
The main reason to put your brestmilk into a chest freezer is because it has a much larger storage space and last longer than a regular freezer because the temperature in a chest freezer is much more stable than a regular freezer and how much is the price? Well if you want to have a cheap chest freezer then you can find them on Craiglist which I think is around 60-70 bucks and with a chest freezer you can also store not just your breastmilk but also your foods there but again it depends of the sizes of your chest freezers. 
 
If you’re living in a small space room such as an apartment then you can choose a chase freezer with a size of 3.5 or 5.0 cu.ft.  So if you want to store more breastmilk longer then you should try to buy a chest freezer and I’m sure that you won’t regret it because a chest freezer is way more efficient in term of energy usage and you can also store many other items there. 
 
So purchasing a chest freezer for breastmilk is highly recommended and if you want to buy it online the you can try the AMAZON because they always have a special promo and discount of several types of chest freezer.

Different temperature range will have a high impact to your foods freshness, for example a meat will be well preserve in a temperature at 0°F to -10° and can last for about a year, but it depends on the packaging of your foods, if you’re using a vacuum package then it could last for about 6-8 months and in a regular plastic wrap is about 3-5 months. 
 
Please keep in mind that the best practise to maintain chest freezer temperature range is when you keep the chest freezer full and don’t take anything out frequently, for example when you put and taken out foods daily then it will disturb the temperature and there will be a hot air coming inside the chest freezer so to optimize your chest freezer you should put things that you’ve planned to store it for a long time and not putting something that you want to use on daily basis. 
 
So to recap, the right <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/chest-freezer-temperature-range.html">chest freezer temperature range</a> would be at 0°F to -10° and it’s best to keep your chest freezer full and don’t open your chest freezer frequently to get a maximum result of storing your foods and also mind about the packaging because a vacuum package plastic will give you <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/best-temperature-for-freezer.html">the best result</a>.

How long do chest freezers last and how to maintain a chest freezer

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.

How does a chest freezer work?

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.

Can chest freezers be kept in garage

If you're wondering about <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/can-chest-freezers-be-kept-in-garage.html">can you put a chest freezer in the garage</a> then today I want to give you a quick insight to whether it's okay or not to put a chest freezer there. 
<h2>
can you put a chest freezer in the garage?</h2>
 
It depends on just how cold and how hot the temperature in your garage is. Because the heat or the cold can make some of the chest freezer's components to stop working and if this happens then any food or vegetables will get rotten because it didn't get frozen enough without even you realizing it. 
 
For example, if the temperature in your garage is very cold and hit below freezing point for a very long time then you'd need to install a small heating unit to prevent any damage to your chest freezer such as coil corrosion or leaking and some people  also had reported that a chest freezer won't function properly in an extremely cold weather because it has something to do with the lubricant in the motor that will be hard to work in a very cold weather. 
 
But good prices come with a good product quality so it all depends on the brand's name of your chest freezer. Someone had been putting his chest freezer in the garage for 5-7 years with no problem.  Another alternative is to put your chest freezer in your basement. 
 
So the answer to " <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/can-chest-freezers-be-kept-in-garage.html">can you put a chest freezer in the garage</a>?" is all depend on just how cold or hot the temperature in your garage, how long it last and also the types of unit that you purchase, so when you know all the conditions of your garage then you go and tell the sales person in your local store and he will hook you up with the right chest freezer.

Can a chest freezer be kept outside and the best place to put a chest freezer

Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

People who live in a small apartment sometimes are asking "<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/can-chest-freezer-be-kept-outside-and.html">can a chest freezer be kept outside</a>?", today I want to share with you the answer of this question so that you can get a better understanding about this certain issue because I believe that not all of us have the luxury of having enough space in a place we're living in. 
<h2>
So can a chest freezer be kept outside?</h2>
 
If you live in an apartment or in a house without any garage then you probably can think of putting the chest freezer inside the storage closet or balcony or if you're live in a small house without a garage then maybe you could put the chest freezer in your basement OR you can always get a smaller chest freezer. 
 
I had a friend who lived in the mountains but she managed to put the chest freezer outside her house and she told me that it was okay, even though once she had a bear stole the meat but the chest freezer still working fine but you need to cover it with some sheet or blanket just to avoid any smell coming out of the chest freezer. 
 
I think the main concern of <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/can-chest-freezer-be-kept-outside-and.html">keeping chest freezer outside</a> is when the weather gets very cold. But a lot of people have had their chest freezers kept outside like in their backyard, porch and there's no problem at all but you also need to know just how cold the weather in your area could get, if it gets too cold then you would need to buy a case heater or a fan control because the compressor sometimes will get very hard to start when it gets too cold.

A lot of people want to know about what's the <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/best-temperature-for-freezer.html">best temperature for a freezer</a> and in today's article I want to share with you about it so you know whether or not your freezer is running on the right temperature, it's very important because the right temperature will make sure to stop bacteria forming. 
 
<h2>
The best temperature for a freezer</h2>
 
The best temperature for a freezer in order to safely store your foods and vegetables and keep them fresh is at 0°F (-18°C)  while the fridge temperature should be around  0°C- 5°C now if you're not sure about the temperature then you can try to buy a thermometer a and measure the temperature of the thermostat. 
<h3>
How to measure the temperature?</h3>
 
Take the thermometer and put them between any bags of foods or vegetables and leave it there for about 8-9 hours. 
 
There are few indicators that show you if the fridge is not doing what it's supposed to. The first thing is when your fridge only freezing a portion of your foods or you see a melting ice in your freezer  and maybe the food being expired prior its expired date.
 
<h3>
How to fix the problem in your fridge temperature?</h3>
 
Please check some of these parts: Check the thermostat or try to reset it and wait for about 24 hours, you can also try to listen the fan noise from your compressor if it doesn't make any noise then maybe you need to replace it with a new one. 
 
Now that you know about the <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/best-temperature-for-freezer.html">best temperature for a freezer</a> maybe you're interested with <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/used-deep-freezers-for-sale.html">used deep freezer for sale</a> to cut down cost but still getting a good and working freezer.

What you need to know before looking for used deep freezers for sale </h2>
 
The first thing you need to do is to determine how much floor spaces available in your storage room and find one that will be suitable for your needs and also you need to decide whether you want to buy an upright or chest freezers, and upright freezer will require a high ceiling while chest freezers need a wider floor space. 
 
The second thing to consider is its energy consumption. Don’t go for a deep freezers that will burn your wallet every month, you need to find deep freezer with a low energy consumption, and if you compare between an upright and chest freezer then chest freezer has lower energy consumption because the door in on the top of the freezer so when you open the door the cold air will not go outside the freezer. 
 
Last but not least you need to find for a promotion or discount and I heard that most online shop such as AMAZON or BESTBUY usually have a special discounts on chest or upright freezer and sometimes they even have free shipping. You can also find chest freezer that comes with a warranty because it's a cheap stuff so you'd better pay more attention to these things.

The first thing you need to know is how much capacity does your chest freezer need considering the room space you have available in your house or store room and it's not recommended for a room with not enough floor space such as in apartment. 
 
The second thing is be sure to pay attention to whether or not the chest freezer has a good energy rating so that you minimize its power consumption, to be sure you can check for ENERGYSTAR rated chest freezer. Even though all chest freezers are more efficient than an upright freezer but it's better to choose the best of the best. 
 
The last thing you need to consider is the storage room capacity; a chest freezer is wider than any other freezer so be sure to have enough floor space to put the chest freezer. Some of the places you can consider are basement, backyard and garage. 
 
Now if you want to know where to buy a chest freezer then you can try SAMS, SEARS, CONNS, LOWES, BIG LOTS, APPLIANCE SMART but I’d prefer you go to SAMS because they have the best stock for chest freezers, but you need to be a member first but it’s not so hard to get one and if I’m not mistaken, the cheapest fee is 40 Dollars per year or you can also try to buy online at the AMAZON because they usually have a good deal and discounts for particular models.

Are chest freezers more efficient than upright freezer?

On Sunday, May 11, 2014 Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-more-efficient-than.html">Are chest freezers more efficient</a>? The answer would be YES! 
The chest freezer is way more efficient than other types of freezers and
 here's how! 
<h2>
Are chest freezers more efficient than upright freezer?</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Are chest freezers more efficient than upright freezer" border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdlVcZQyha33DpioUoHA4okHru7pPlYYTZI1kG68odJt-V1MpYuDUzqWSZdxwf457W-KjqW9x-HTgIhVoP2ZFhYj6ZDdrVeGOENGzToqHBg-QVrWPB1HbCIEPoQ-7JPX1z83_668vDSiho/s1600/chestfreezersmoreefficient.png" title="Are chest freezers more efficient than upright freezer" width="320" /></div>
 
Because the 
chest freezer is opens from the top and that way the cold air will not 
go out of the freezer but stays inside so it will not use any extra energy to stabilize its cold temperature unlike an upright freezer that's open from the front that will cause the cold air flow out onto the floor and that way the freezer will try to maintain its cold temperature by using more energy. And a chest freezer 
is also very suitable to put in a room with a very limited heights and 
you can also store more foods inside because of its large capacity and if 
you want to compare it with an upright freezer then the chest freezer is
 way more cheaper and a lot of people would definetly choose a chest freezer to store a 
large bulk of food instead of an upright freezer. 
 
But the 
downside is that a chest freezer will be hard to put inside a room with
minimum space because it will take more floor space and it's also very 
difficult for short people to reach out and take foods from the inside. 
 
So
 to sum up the answer to "<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-more-efficient-than.html" target="_blank">are chest freezers more efficient</a>" is that when 
you have room with enough floor space then it's a yes and if you don't 
have any problem with the height of the chest freezer then the answer is
 also yes and because of the way you lift the freezer from the top, it 
will give you less power consumption when using this type of freezer. 
 
So
 I'd suggest you this freezer right now and that's all for our 
<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/">chest freezer reviews</a> for today. You might be wondering <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-frost-free.html">are chest freezers frost free</a>?

So <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-frost-free.html">are chest freezers frost free</a>?  First of all you need to know what does it mean by frost free. It means that the chest freezer will keep a cycle of partially defrosting and the after that it will freeze again.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are some chest freezers models that indeed using an automatic defrost or frost free but it's very expensive and sold at around $400-$1500 you can try Kenmore or Summit brand, it's even more pricey than an upright freezer. But most of the chest freezers are actually using manual defrost that will take hours to complete, now if you want to buy a freezer that last for a long time then it's not advisable to buy a frost free freezer because as far as I know, a chest freezer without a frost feature will be able to keep your foods longer and also fresher. 
 
But when the chest freezer is almost out of food then just take out the rest of the foods and put them on the floor and use a blanket or a sheet to cover it and then you need to defrost the freezer OR you could just use warm water and pour it into the chest freezer but make sure to turn the power off first and the mop it using a towel. 
 
Nowadays a chest freezer also comes with a side plugs that you can use to attach a host and then drain the water to the outside and not using a traditional method like the old days that I just described above by using a towel. 
 
Just a quick tips, be sure to make a note of all the foods or veggies you put inside the chest freezer because you don't want to keep them more than two months. So if you still wondering about "<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-chest-freezers-frost-free.html">are chest freezers frost free</a>" or some people called it as auto defrost then it's not and you'd want to have it on your chest freezer.

Are all chest freezers manual defrost?

Posted by Ms Kris Labels: chest freezers

A friend once asked me, "<a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-all-chest-freezers-manual-defrost.html">Are all chest freezers manual defrost</a>?", the main reason she asked me this question is because she wanted to know if a manual chest freezer type will be able to keep your food longer and fresher and if it's not then she want to get an auto one. Well to be honest with you, I've never seen other types than the manual defrost for chest freezer. 
<h2>
Are all chest freezers manual defrost?</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Are all chest freezers manual defrost" border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JpLkgvtn-DBzKoyMOvDHjToNA_jEezIa1IxbvcX6WWCk60-BtBsIMYJAkPjveTBBFTL4uFH08kOH1AAl2Vm_eXzkx3qRC0XImaxZHS4Bu1MlKK0hVtNXdskdO_hjyL94pEjdy3Acfp1l/s1600/manualdefrost.jpg" title="Are all chest freezers manual defrost" width="320" /></div>
 
Some advance types of chest freezer come with an auto frost (frost free) feature but it's too expensive for my taste, but most of the chest freezers that people are using is manual defrost, so if you're on a tight budget and don't want to spend thousands of Dollars on chest freezer then I guess let's stick with a manual defrost chest freezer but if you want to buy an upright freezer, then you will find no problem finding an auto defrost model with an affordable price. 
 
Benefits in using manual defrost 
 
There are two main benefits using manual defrost, the first one is a low energy consumption so you will get a lower operating cost but the trick is  to keep the chest freezer defrosted so that the unit will stay in a good condition and also the freezer burn is not too high. This type of chest freezer is also able to keep foods for about 2 months and still maintain the food freshness. 
 
But you should know that if you keep chest freezer to near full then it will not frost up too much so to lower you cost, you need to choose a more suitable size for your needs. So in my opinion, all chest freezers are using <a href="http://chestfreezerreviews.blogspot.com/2014/05/are-all-chest-freezers-manual-defrost.html">manual defrost feature</a> but you know any chest freezers that are frost free or using an automatic defrosting system then please share with us.
