Which one is the most energy efficient chest freezer? Auto or Manual Defrost?
When we talk about energy usage then the main thing we can discuss is whether or not it’s using auto defrost (frost free) or manual defrost chest freezer. An Auto defrost chest freezer means that the freezer will stop the frosted ice to keep on pilling inside the freezer, this process will require the freezer to use more energy in the process while a manual defrost chest freezer need us to defrost it regularly but the chest freezer will save more energy than auto defrost, so if you want to find an energy efficient freezer then go for the manual defrost models.
Energy efficient chest freezer that comes with EnergyStar rated.
Among all the chest freezers there are some of them that are rated with EnergyStar and these models are known to be more efficient than other chest freezers that don’t have this particular rating (non energy star) and the difference is about 10% in energy usage.
