A Short Freezer Buying Guide
by on Aug.31, 2009, under Uncategorized
The average household freezer is a silent slave. It operates year in and year out, requiring nothing other than a constant supply of electricity. Eventually, though it may need to be replaced.
We will talk about few factors that will determine what kind of freezer will you decide to buy for youself.
We will talk about the freezer size first. Size of course depends upon your needs. Generally though, most people buy a freezer that is too large. They base their judgment upon perceived usages rather than real usage. Their reasoning is: We “might” need a larger one in case there “may be” a special at the grocery store on something. But the sad truth is that these freezers will end up being operated only half full.
All food has to be consumed in less then six weeks. If you store your food any longer then that, it will definitely be dehydrated, no matter what you do with her. Nutritional value and the food taste will be worst as the moisture is leaving the food. So anything stored longer than six weeks will probably end up being thrown out .
As an example, how much ice cream have you thrown away because ice crystals started to appear in the package. And the ice that is appearing inside the package is a sign of dehydration.
Freezers are efficient when it comes to energy consumption, but they will still increase your power bills.
You will spend more electricity with a upright freezer. This happend when doors get opened and all the cold air spills outside. It will have to be on more often in the future. Since the upright freezers are frost free, and most of them are, they consume more power then the older models. Because we don’t have to defrost it, we have to pay for that advantage.
Chest freezers are more efficient consumers of electricity because the cold air lies inside even though the lid is lifted to access the contents. Alas, chest freezers are manual and will need to be shut down and defrosted once a year.
Since most freezers are relegated to the basement they are not an appliance that needs to look pretty. Most of us do not think that freezers should have some additional features and options.
They are regarded as just simple metal boxes that we need to store our content in.
But in last ten years or so manufacturers are making freezers with more and more features. There are a lot of features you can find in freezers made today; quick freeze, push button control, frost free and digital temperature display.
