Width size (cm)
Refers to the minimum space needed to house the freezer in the middle of a run of kitchen units or corner, including any extra space required for air circulation.
Colour
The colour we give here are the colours of the freezers available at time of testing. Other colours may be released at a later date, so if you're looking for a silver freezer, but we only have the white version, check with the manufacturer. Built in appliances can have the same cupboard door attached to match the rest of your kitchen.
Warranty
Basic warranty offered at time of purchase. Extended warranties are sometimes available free of charge if you register your freezer with the manufacturer, so check your freezer's user manual.
Storage volume (litres)
Our measurement of the usable space, as opposed to the manufacturers' claims.
Freezing capacity (kg/24hr)
The amount of fresh food that can be frozen to -18°C in 24 hours, this is important for taste and texture.
EU energy label
This is given by the manufacturer for energy efficiency. An A+++ indicates the most efficient category. Our previous tests have shown that these ratings are not always accurate, so check our energy costs measurements.
Annual energy cost (£)
Our annual energy costs are based on a unit cost of 14.5p per kWh
Room temperature range °C
Indicates the range of room temperatures in which the freezer is optimised to work.
Energy use
Compares energy use for each freezer taking size into account.
Recommended thermostat setting
The manufacturer's recommended thermostat setting should result in a temperature colder than -18°C. Fewer than two stars means you will have to adjust the thermostat setting until it matches the correct setting.
Temperature stability
How closely the freezer maintains the correct temperature even when the room temperature changes. Five stars mean you won’t need to adjust the thermostat, while two stars means that you will.
Quietness and vibration
Five stars means the model is quiet, one star is noisy.
Brand reliability
How reliable this brand of freezer is.
Ease of defrosting
How easy it is to collect defrosted water from the freezer. Models with top marks are frost-free.
