Frequently Asked Questions: Freezers

How do you determine what size freezer is best for your needs?

Choosing the right size freezer is crucial for meeting your storage requirements. You should evaluate the quantity and types of items you plan to store. A larger family may require a deep freezer, while a single person or a couple may find a mini freezer or compact freezer sufficient.

Measure the space where you intend to place the freezer. Make sure the dimensions of the chosen freezer fit comfortably in the chosen spot.

You should also consider how frequently you'll use the freezer. A larger upright or commercial freezer might be the best option if you store items or buy in bulk.

Different types, such as upright, deep, and compact freezers, have different storage capacities. Choose based on your needs and the available space.

Do you offer freezers for both home and commercial use?

What Are the Different Types of Freezers and Deep Freezers?

Here are some of the most common kinds of freezers and deep freezers you'll likely encounter in your search.

• Upright freezers: These standalone freezers stand up vertically and have shelves.
• Chest freezers: As the name suggests, these look like a chest and sit horizontally on the ground.
• Top freezers: These are freezer-fridge combos where the freezer's located on top.
• Commercial freezers: These are designed for high-volume busy kitchens -- the kind used in restaurants.

Are upright freezers as good as chest freezers?

If you're not sure whether you'd like a chest freezer or an upright freezer, here are some pros and cons:

Chest freezers

• Pros: More economical, use less electricity, are great for smaller spaces, and are convenient for storing a large quantity of one item, such as meat.
• Con: Sometimes less convenient when it comes to finding specific items; however, if you label everything, and utilize shelves and storage baskets, chest freezers can help you save money.

Upright freezers

• Pro: You're able to see everything when you open the door, so it's easy to find what you're looking for.
• Con: These tend to cost more.

How big are deep freezers?

Chest and upright freezers come in three sizes:

• Compact or small deep freezers: 5 to 9 cubic feet (cu ft)
• Medium: 12 to 18 cubic feet
• Large: 18+ cubic feet

For common dimensions of freezers in inches and feet, a 22-cubic-foot chest freezer will take up 2 feet by 6 feet of floor space compared with a more space-efficient 22-cubic-foot upright freezer that only uses up 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet of floor space.

What Are the Best Deep Freezer Brands at Sam's Club?

You can find a variety of freezers and deep freezers at Sam's Club from the following popular and trusted brands:

• Igloo
• Whynter
• Thomson
• Maxx Cold

These members-only prices are excellent compared to other brands like Frigidaire, Danby, Koolatron and Midea.

Types of Defrosting

While it may be no fun, it's a reality that freezers can develop a lot of frost. There are two ways to address the problem:

Keep your freezer clean yourself with manual defrosting

As the name sounds, with manual defrost, you will have to do the work of keeping your freezer free of frost. This option is cheaper and more energy efficient, helping you save more in the long run on electricity costs.

Buy a frost-free freezer

Also known as automatic defrosting or self-defrosting, frost-free is often a feature you'll see included with uprights and combo fridge-freezers. These raise the temperature inside the unit a few times per day from 0 F to 32 F, which could affect how well your food stays preserved and can raise the cost of the freezer.

Features to consider in a deep freezer:

When you're shopping for a new freezer, here are a few things to keep in mind.

The space you have for a freezer

Will you put the extra freezer in your kitchen? Your basement? The garage? Measure the area before you begin shopping. You'll need enough space for the freezer doors to open.

Capacity

Typically, chest freezers, or top freezers have between 5 and 9 cubic feet of space, while commercial stand-up freezers can have up to 50 cubic feet.

Your budget

Chest and top freezers are more economical.

Which features are most important to you?

Here are some common ones that shoppers look for:

• Energy Star certified energy efficient
• Rapid-cooling or fast-freeze features
• Customizable internal storage baskets and organizational systems
• Door alarms
• Stainless steel design
• Free delivery
