How To Choose A Right Chest Freezer

As an inexperienced buyer of electrical appliance, how should we choose the right one for our home or kitchen among the various brands and commodities when we know nothing about them? Here we take chest freezer as an example.

First of all, we need to check if the door and body are flat, smooth and stable. Everything should be properly installed in the right position, the door cannot be tilted, and the spacing between the shaft and the shaft pin should be completely appropriate, so that when you open the door, it will feel sensitive with your hands. For appearance, the painted coating should be evenly, brightly colored without any dents, rust or scratch marks. coating parts should look bright and delicate without coating drop. For all the connecting parts of the door and the door, there shall not be any foaming agent leakage. Do not try to buy the refrigerator once such problems are identified.

Then you need to inspect some details. Close the door, and observe whether the door seal is tightly contacting the freezer body. If not, the cold air can easily come out and this will influence the cooling effect. Now we check the controller, touch it and adjust the button to see if it’s sensitive. Controller is very important in adjusting the temperature, and normally it’s enough to use a mechanical controller in chest freezer. As you can see, just some simple functions and no need to spend money for a digital one, also a mechanical controller is easy to repair. Open the door, bring a tape and measure the thickness of the foaming layer, this is crucial! The thickness decides whether the coldness lasts long and well. You can imagine adding a coat and you’ll feel warm, that’s the reason. Then you can check the instruction book inside to see if there’s any spare part.

After all the visual check and some touching, we need to power on the freezer to check its refrigeration performance and electrical performance, this is very critical. Turn the controller button to the original place, plug in, and then turn the button to the coolest point, and you can hear the noise made by the compressor. Touch the freezer body, and you can feel light vibration. If there’s illumination light, you can turn on the switch to see if it operates well.

Nowadays the technology for chest freezers is very mature, and we can see various famous brands with higher price and non-famous brands with lower price and nearly the same appearance. Pls always remember, performance is the first thing for the user.
