Chest freezers are top-opening freezers designed to store and preserve frozen food at temperatures below -20°C.
As the name implies, these freezers resemble a chest or box with a lid on top. The top-opening design minimizes the escape of cold air, maintaining a consistently low temperature. Advantages include a wide opening for easy access to all corners of the compartment, convenient cleaning, straightforward storage of large items, and efficient utilization of space.
Available in various sizes from small to large, chest freezers offer more diverse options than front-opening or sliding door freezers. They are used not only in commercial settings like restaurants but also as secondary freezers in households.
