Overview

An apartment corner, dorm room or cabin pantry is the kind of place this small Koolatron chest freezer is meant for. The lid lifts from the top, a removable wire basket organizes the contents, and a front drain eases defrosting.

Extra frozen storage in a footprint that fits a small kitchen or garage is the reason to look at it. The limitation is manual defrosting and a single basket, and the listing does not give a temperature range or weight.

Who it's for

Apartment dwellers, cabin owners and dorm residents who need a compact freezer for bulk food can use the top-opening layout. Anyone who wants frost-free operation or door shelves should choose an upright model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact chest design for small spaces
  • Removable wire basket
  • Front drain for defrosting
  • Low listed power draw
Cons
  • Manual defrost only
  • Weight not listed
  • Temperature range not given

Performance notes

A chest freezer opens from above, so cold air stays in the cavity because it is heavier than warm air and does not pour out when the lid opens. Frost builds up over time and has to be melted and drained by hand through the front drain.
