As for how much freezer space you actually need, try to be as realistic as possible. The complete freezer operates more efficiently than the half-empty freezer, and the food in the complete freezer is less likely to be scalded by the freezer. In other words, some experts who spoke with us agree that it is best to slightly overestimate the capacity you need. Hunter Greg F (Greg F) said: "If you play a large game, you may need more freezer space after success. When you need more space (such as ice storage before a party), a larger refrigerator will be better.” As Heather Marold Thomason, the butcher and founder of the original food supplier told us, nothing is worse than running out of space. She said: "The refrigerator is like a leather bag." "The bigger they are, the more you fill them."

　　Power-on indicator: You can know at a glance whether the refrigerator is plugged in and working normally.

　　Safety lock: A lock helps to avoid children or nosy people. This is especially important for chest freezers because freezers are usually large enough for children to fall in.

　　Indoor light: This allows you to see the inside of the refrigerator when you store or retrieve things.

　　Then there are some specifications and functions that are not necessary, but I am happy to have them. Usually, this is just a matter of personal preference:

　　Temperature alarm: Some home chest freezers will sound an audible alarm to let you know if the door has been opened or if the internal temperature is too high. This feature is not particularly common, but it can give you peace of mind.

　　Precise temperature control: The standard temperature of the freezer is 0°F. According to the FDA, this can make food safe to eat indefinitely and can keep the taste and appearance of the food for months. There are not many reasons that can cause you to deviate from the target temperature, but the external temperature control allows you to choose the exact number, which may help on an improperly calibrated refrigerator.

　　Leveling feet or optional casters: Leveling feet allow you to balance the machine on uneven floors. Detachable wheels make the freezer easier to move when needed.

　　The garage is ready: This means that the freezer is designed to work efficiently and reliably in cold storage in winter, hot storage in summer, and any temperature in between. Most chest freezers (including the models we recommend) are ready.

　　There are at least two storage baskets: Most people tend to use chest freezers like trash cans-throw things away. However, the basket can help make the mess a little messy. Any decent refrigerator contains at least two baskets. Some slide on independent shelves and some just sit on the floor of the refrigerator. In models larger than 15 cubic feet, you should expect to use three baskets.

　　As for the price, some "mini" chest freezers can be as low as $150, while the highest price for the largest chest freezers is about $900. We found that $43 per cubic foot is a reasonable price; we looked at the price per cubic foot of space to understand the overall value, and the goal was to make the price per cubic foot of space reach or below $43. Of course, other factors will also affect the asking price of the refrigerator, but we think the cost per cubic foot is a useful comparison.

　　In summary, it is difficult to buy a bad Solar DC freezer. In most cases, regardless of capacity, they are reliable and have good owner reviews. If you pay attention to a specific refrigerator that is not highlighted in this guide, that might be great. Don't overemphasize this purchase.
