Our verdict

A garage-ready chest freezer with a front drain, a wire basket and a convertible fridge mode. Defrosting is manual, and it is a chest design rather than an upright.

ASIN: B01MTYAS2TModel: KTCF155Category: Chest Freezers

Overview

Not an upright cabinet, but a top-opening chest freezer that works in garages and basements. A front drain eases defrosting, and a hanging wire basket sorts the top layer.

It provides bulk frozen storage with a modest power draw, and it can run as a fridge when needed. Two years of warranty is longer than many small freezers. The limit is the manual defrost and a chest layout that needs digging.

Who it's for

Households adding overflow freezer space for meat and bulk food. Those wanting automatic defrost or an upright layout should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Convertible freezer or fridge
  • Front drain for defrosting
  • Hanging wire basket
  • Two year warranty
Cons
  • Manual defrost needed
  • Chest layout means digging
  • Only one basket
  • Door is hard plastic

Performance notes

A compressor cycles on a thermostat and the chest design holds cold air in when the lid opens. Frost builds up and is cleared by hand through the front drain. Items at the bottom take more effort to reach.
