Statesman CHF101 Freestanding Chest Freezer, 56 cm, White [Energy Class A+]

AS DECRIBED, WORKS WELL WOULD BUY AGAIN

Careful with this Freezer if you want it in an outbuilding or garage - the Climate Spec is Sub Tropical ..... that's ABOVE 16 Degrees at all time!The winter, and maybe Autumn and Spring in the UK is unsuitable in a garage or outbuilding - it will breakdown ... and there will be NO warranty as it was used out of spec!! OK for in the home - but it should be made absolutely clear that IT IS NOT FOR AN OUTBUILDING!!

This is a compact chest freezer reminiscent of old-style chest freezers. This one does enjoy an A rating for economical running though, and is supplied with an interior basket to save rummaging through the entire contents. This is probably not large enough to be the main freezer for a family, but is perfect as a backup, to be used for the extra storage needed on special occasions, or perhaps to separate certain goods away from others. Importantly for me, it is suitable for use in an outbuilding, in my case a garage, where it will be used.The main drawback of this type of freezer is that it requires space to access the top-opening lid, so cannot be used under a counter, or in a fitted kitchen. However, with a 100-lite capacity, it has great uses as additional freezer storage, and works very well for that purpose.

I waiting to see how this turned out after a few weeks of running - have to say is great. Have running in the corner of my garage and fits nicely in a corner.Just a straight box freezer but I have bought baskets for it to divide up.Good quality standard product - perfect small family freezer

We got this freezer to replace a very old (around 15 years old) upright freezer, and have been very pleased with it.The freezer is of single width (55cm), but is surprisingly roomy. You have to be careful not to put soft things such as bread at the bottom of a chest freezer, but the Statesman has a quite large basket which fits at the top of the freezer which helps in this regard. The amazing thing though about ths freezer is how quite it is. The normal hum is very quiet indeed - it does seem to get louder occasionally, but there have been a few times where we have wondered if it is actually working, it's so quiet!This is a good quality little chest freezer, and we are really pleased with it. Recommended.

There is nothing more to do apart from fill it with frozen food. This freezer will easily accommodate a family of 4 people. The basket I'm going to place the beloved ice cube trays and ice cream tubs. If you want a top quality freezer that truly is engergy efficient. And for the money you won't go wrong. Photos to follow.

Good very quiet chest freezer. It arrived well packaged and was nto too heavy to position. Setting it up was easy. Just give a wipe with a damp cloth and dry it well inside having taken off the transparent coverings on the outside. Level it using the adjustable feet. Leave it for 4 hours to settle. Then start it up and leave it for 24 hours on the highest setting. Seems okay so far with food freezing inside. This is more an adjunct to a freezer than a total freezer solution for a family. Great way to store bargains or summer produce. Of course, only time will tell reliability. I'll edit my review if things go iffy but seems well made and has a two-year warranty.I might add that the CHF101 I received is slightly different from the picture shown here. Mine has a different control panel and lid insulation. Otherwise it seems exactly the same.

I think the terminology might be confusing here, as the description of the freezer calls this an "Under Counter Chest Freezer". As the images show however, this is a freestanding upright top-opening chest freezer. You can put it under a counter, but you will have to wheel the freezer out to open it and have access to the contents.Assuming you know what you are getting, the Statesman CHF101 is a good sized upright chest freezer where you have to stack the items freely. There are no shelves, just one top basket for smaller items that might otherwise get lost down in the "deep" freeze. The advantage of no shelves of course is that you can store larger items here that would otherwise be difficult to fit into the compartments of a conventional fridge-freezer.If you are getting this delivered, it's fairly light when it is empty and easy to move around and position in the kitchen or outbuilding. It's solidly constructed, quiet in operation, with operating controls and settings that are easy to access and operate. A 100 litre capacity is good for a small household if you already have a fridge freezer and just want some extra backup storage. This will provide additional freezing capacity for all your needs without taking up too much room space. It has an A+ energy rating, so it is designed to be efficient. This is exceptionally good value.
