There are many great reasons to own a separate freezer from your fridge but it can be hard to decide whether vertical or chest freezers are the best. So, the helpful folders team has put together their three main considerations:
1. Vertical freezers have shelves, drawers, and door storage for great food organisation and access. Alternatively, chest freezers tend to be one large compartment with a hanging basket, so it can be easy to lose items in its depths.
2. Chest freezers offer more capacity but also take up a lot more floor space than an upright freezer.
3. A chest freezer tends to be more energy efficient than vertical freezers and will protect your food for longer in a power outage. Great for some added peace of mind if your home tends to lose power.
