John Lewis JLCH100 review
http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/kitchen/reviews/freezers/john-lewis-jlch100/review/
The John Lewis JLCH100 compact chest freezer boasts a 102 litre capacity, and comes with a basket to hold small items and prevent them getting lost in the freezer. However, the lid isn't counterbalanced, so you'll need to hold it open with one hand or push it back over 90°. We put this John Lewis compact chest freezer through its paces in our labs to see how well it works.
