Best Freezers in the UK

If you’re looking for an extra-large freezer, the Russell Hobbs company has a very attractive offering for you. This upright freezer has a generous 99-litre capacity, which is perfect for those who would like to stock up on food for a long while. Actually, it can easily fit 20 frozen microwave meals or 5 big bags plus 20 smaller ones. And with all that, it won't be full right up to the brim, leaving some space for smaller inclusions.

For neat organisation, the inside is split with a deep section on the left and a slightly raised section on the right. Also, there is a handy wire basket that can be accessed quickly and easily, so it’s ideal for storing veg bags or other frequently used items.

Despite the impressive capacity, the Russell Hobbs freezer draws only 160 kW of power and is rated as an A+ device. Also, it’s quite portable and lightweight. At 85 x 56.5 x 52.3 cm, it can be compactly stored in a shed or garage. And if you have uneven floors, the unit comes equipped with adjustable feet so that you can correctly balance it out. What we also liked is that the freezer is made all-black to easily blend in with modern interiors.

Do you need a decent addition to your normal fridge or freezer? If so, we recommend that you take a closer look at the Klarstein Garfield Eco model. It’s a fantastic general-purpose freezer that can help you increase your current frozen storage without taking up much space in your kitchen. It boasts a slimline 44-cm construction while offering a reasonable amount of space inside. The gross capacity makes somewhere around 36 litres but the actual capacity is 34 litres, which should be more than enough to fit approximately two big bags of food.

When it comes to ease of use, this freezer is quite simple to install and operate. The only thing you should bear in mind is that it needs 10-12 hours to settle after delivery. Then you can choose any of 3 temperature settings to suit your needs and wait for a couple of hours before loading frozen food. All the adjustments can be done via a handy mechanical knob. And no matter what setting you choose, you can be sure that the freezer will maintain the accurate temperature owing to a nicely-insulated aluminium interior. Inside, you’ll find an ice cube maker and two spacers for neat organisation.

Lastly, we would like to stress that this small freezer is very energy efficient. The manufacturer states it uses about 117 kW/h, which equals less than £10 per year, so it’s quite cheap to run. All this makes the Klarstein Garfield Eco a good money-saving and space-saving gadget for confined spaces. It’s economical and durable.

Those who are limited in space probably value every centimetre of their kitchen space. With that in mind, the folks behind the Russell Hobbs company have come up with a compact freezer that sits under the counter. It has a small footprint and modern design (available in white or black) that can discreetly fit under any standard-sized kitchen counter. Actually, it measures just 84.5 x 50.1 x 54 cm and boasts an impressive capacity for the size - 68 litres.

Unlike many other compact freezers with a top-loading design, the Russell Hobbs RHUCFZ3W has three freezer drawers with a door. This way, you’ll be able to get the needed foodstuff out without having to remove loads of other things first. Also, three separate drawers allow you to group food to suit your requirements. However, this design can make it a bit difficult to store extra-large items.

As a nice touch, the freezer comes with a reversible door allowing you to customise it as you wish. The box includes an informative instruction pamphlet that shows how to switch the door hinges from one side to another by yourself. All you need for that is a small spanner and an adjustable wrench. Even if you’ve never done anything similar before, you’ll be able to change the door opening direction with no extra help.

What we have here is another freezer with a multiple-shelf design for neat organization of food and easy access to it. However, what differs it from other similar models is the 4-star rating, meaning it can be used for safe long-term food storage. Actually, it reaches temperatures as low as -18 degrees C and can preserve the freshness of the contents for up to 12 months.

After unpacking and before switching this mini freezer on, you can change the door opening direction. By default, it comes with the hinge on the right-hand side, but you can reposition the hinges to the other side using a couple of screwdrivers and a spanner. After that, you can do some minor adjusting of the feet, plug it in, set the temperature, and wait a few hours for it to get frosty. No stupid electronic connectivity or whatever.

Besides the simplicity of use, the unit boasts an A+ energy rating and nearly silent operation with only periodic low humming noises. So, we can safely recommend the Cookology freestanding freezer for its quality, nice design, and good energy rating. It's suitable for long-term storage of foodstuff and owing to its multiple-shelf design, it’ll be much easier to access all the contents. Plus, since it has a classy design, it may blend beautifully into your living room, guest room, student dorm or anywhere else.

In case you’re in the market for a good micro-freezer that would be enough for one person and could fit into any confined space, the Russell Hobbs RHTTFZ1 may be exactly what you need. It’s an ultra-compact unit that measures a mere 49.2 x 47.2 x 45 centimetres and is ideal for everything from dorms and shared student houses to hotel rooms and caravans. It has a very small footprint and can easily fit on top of a counter, under the desk, under a worktop in a trailer, or in a cabinet. The only requirement is some clearance all around to let generated heat dissipate effectively. For stable placement on any surface, it has a solid rubber foot at the front and an adjustable one at the rear.

Despite such tiny dimensions, the freezer still boasts a good capacity of 32 litres. Inside, it’s fitted with two shelves with a removable drawer and a wire rack. Take note that the bottom shelf is half the depth of the top one because the electronics are housed there. So, you won’t be able to fit large stuff in it. Roughly speaking, you’ll be able to load about one loaf of bread in the bottom shelf and three loaves in the top one. That’s enough space for 1- 2 weeks worth of food.
