Currently, this invention has been modified by manufacturers: GELs preserve food for a longer time by means of freezing. Comfortable and roomy, they became real helpers in the kitchen. But what will pay attention when buying such equipment?

But an additional freezer chamber in the fridge is not enough for everyone. And many acquire special devices, exclusively for freezing. Someone prefers freezers, and someone gives the choice in favor of capacious chests. For such a purchase should be taken carefully, because it will serve more than one year. Therefore, you need to know how to choose such a technique correctly: here is what you need to pay attention to:

6. Defrost mode. Like refrigerators, there are lari with self-defrosting (No Frost) and mechanical ones. The first ones are much higher, but frost forms less in them.
7. power usage. Buyers are more likely to opt for devices marked Class A: A, A +, A ++, A +++. The more benefits, the less appliances consume electricity. Such devices are higher than competitors with low energy efficiency, but then they help to save on electricity.

Table of advantages and disadvantages - freezer or chest is better

Today a freestanding freezer in the house is not uncommon. They are compact and roomy. Larry people are used to seeing most of them in stores, because of the large size. But manufacturers have worked on this issue and began to produce GEL for freezing, subject to home use. Therefore, buyers are divided into 2 fronts. So what's better?

Name of technology	Virtues	disadvantages
Chest to freeze	+ Horizontal loading of products.This method of laying better keeps the cold, preventing the formation of frost. Even if there is no No Frost system in the freezer chest, it does not need frequent defrosting. + Spaciousness. Chests contain more food than a vertical camera. + Ability to freeze whole foods. Carcasses of meat can be stored in chests without dividing them into many small pieces. This is convenient for both villagers and megalopolis residents who prefer to buy large volumes of food from farmers right away. + Excellent thermal insulation. In the chests for home use the cover is opaque and heavy. It is tightly placed on top of the chest, which provides good thermal insulation. + Saving electricity. Since there is only one camera in the chests, they do not need a powerful compressor. This allows you to save on electricity. + Favorable price. The cost of chests is an order of magnitude lower than freezers vertical chambers.	- Non-compact. Horizontal boxes occupy more space than usual vertical freezers. Saving on space with them is difficult. - Just one storage compartment. Today, models equipped with boxes are produced, but they are suspended in the chamber from above. Therefore, whatever one may say, but GELs have one compartment, and below they will have to fold the products in a crowd. - Not intended for frequent opening.
Freezer	+ Do not occupy much space in the house. Due to the vertical design, this type of freezer can be used on any, even the smallest area. + Convenience storage. Thanks to the many boxes inside, products can be packaged in categories. They will be easy to find in a variety of freezing. + Frequency of opening. Designed for frequent opening.	- Density prileaniya doors. The vertical design does not provide such a tight fit of the door, as in chests. Therefore, thermal conductivity is worse here. - The frequency of defrosting. If the freezer does not have a No Frost system, it will have to be defrosted more often than a chest. Vertical loading of products contributes to the rapid appearance of frost inside the device. - Cost. The price of cameras is higher than at the chests.
