In Detail

A generously proportioned new freezer with an impressive 297 litres of space - that's over 15 full bags of shopping!

New Electronic Controls

A recent redesign has seen new electronic controls replace the older rotary dial for more precise temperature setting. An improvement in efficiency means the unit is now promoted to group E in the A-G rating scale.

Useful Features

There is an interior light to help with those midnight food raids, and the unit is also mounted on castors to make moving it about easier, although they don't lock so it can run away if you're not careful!

We are pleased to see the freezer has a drain port located at the front which will make defrosting easier - some freezers hide this around the back or the side meaning you need to shift the unit around.

Only one basket is supplied which is disappointing given the space, although Partmaster can supply additional baskets for around £20 each.

Key Features

One wire basket is supplied which allows you quickly grab your most used items

The interior light helps illuminate the cavernous interior

The 'clean back' hides the delicate condenser, looks neater and is also flame retardant

WinterGuard technology means this freezer will safely work in unheated outbuildings

Likes the Garage

Just like every Fridgemaster freezer, this unit is suitable for unheated outbuildings such as garages, even if the temperature gets as low as -15 degrees Celsius thanks to its WinterGuard feature.

In the event of a power cut, food is kept safe for up to 40 hours which is impressive and hints at good insulation which will also keep running costs down.

Unlike some smaller Fridgemaster freezers, the lid on this model, although not lockable, is counterbalanced and has a more normal grab handle instead of the fiddly recessed ones. Also unlike other models in the range, this one comes only in white - there is no black option.

Our View

In fact, the price is what makes this freezer stand out - with almost 300 litres of usable space this is a great freezer that you can trust to just get on with the job whatever the weather!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this product really suitable for outbuildings?
Yes, this product includes Beko's Freezerguard technology that protects the electronics and allows the unit to work safely down to -15 degrees Celsius. You might see a minimum temperature of +10 degrees Celsius mentioned in this "Climate Class" but this rating has not been updated to include these newer freezer types.

Is this freezer frost free?
No freezers are currently frost free. Manufacturers recommend defrosting twice a year. Unplug the drain port at the front to let defrosted ice from inside run off into a suitable container.

Does this freezer have a 'step' inside?
Yes, in common with most freezers there is a boxed-off area at the bottom that contains the motor electrical components. This is not included in the 142 litres of storage.

How any watts does the freezer use?
Over the period of one year, it will use around 289 watts

Comments & Feedback

Yve71

I must say I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's very roomy and very quiet. Fits into the same space where my old one did. Not very expensive either. Looks very stylish

Deebee

Good size, easy to operate, reasonably sturdy construction, wheels give manoeuvrability. However, the big selling point for me was Winter Guard, as it will be kept in an unheated garage

SarahLJ

I bought this over a month ago to use from the garage. Very pleased with it so far. Large size stores all I want. Very quiet running. Only negative is it could have come with more baskets.
