Choosing Style of Freezer for
the Family Calls for
Consideration of Various Factors
It’s a red letter day in any family—the day you choose a new
food freezer.
But before that wonderful day it is wise to discuss the pros
and cons of the two basic freezer types, chest or upright model.-
The chest model often costs slightly less to buy. It may also
cost less to operate because opening and closing the lid of a
chest model affects the inside temperature less than opening
the closing the door of an upright. This is simply because
warm air rises and cold air settles, so less of the latter is lost
from the chest type.
On the other hand an upright model is considered more con
venient with no stooping, reaching or lifting. The contents are
easier to inventory at a glance. r
The upright model takes less floor space, of course, and is
certainly preferable if the freezer is to be in the kitchen.
Against this advantage is the additional storage space often of
fered by chest units because there are usually no baskets and
little space is taken up by dividers.
Also odd-shaped turkeys and bulky foods such as hams fit
more easily into the chest type and less space is lost between
them.
Size a Factor
Another important decision involves the size of the freezer
which will serve you best. The range is from 9.6 cubic feet
with a capacity of 336 pounds for the small family and for
apartments to the 28 cubic foot model which will hold 980
pounds A rough rule of thumb to help you in your selection is
that you will need approximately four cubic feet of freezer per
person m the family.
When you look over the new freezers awaiting your choice
here arc some features that you should check or ask about.
Are there special shelves or sections for new fpods without
rearranging other foods in the freezer 9 s
In the chest model is the lid counter-balanced to raise easily
and stay open until you close it? And is the unft hinged so it
will fit flush against the wall?
In the upright freezer are there movable shelved.with lock
positions to they won’t tip? Or are there pull-out or\wmg-out
baskets to help locate food more easily 9
Warning System
Is there a signal light or warning buzzer to indicate wheMhe
unit shuts off accidentally or the current is off? A free‘zer
alarm is considered best.
Sweating is normal with freezers so check that the hardware
is rust-resistant and that it is sturdy enough to withstand the
heavy demands normally made of a freezer.
Many new models have automatic ice makers. This is a
desirable family convenience.
Check for a device that prevents the plug from being pu|led
accidentally thereby shutting off the current.
When you take delivery of your freezer you should have it
connected on an individual circuit so that it will not be af
fected by other appliances short-circuiting.
Remember that you'll never take better food out of the
freezer than you put in it.
