IN DETAIL
This new petite unit from Iceking is just 36cm wide which means that it can fit into some challenging spaces that a normal freezer may not.
READ MORE
Like all IceKing freezers, it has their Freezer Safe Technology which means it can be used in temperatures down to -15 degrees C - great for garages and outbuildings.
The compact dimensions means it only has 51 litres of space on offer but that's still enough to store a decent amount of frozen food.
It's very basic and there are no fancy frills such as a lockable lid or light, but there is a high temperature alarm warning, one basket (just squeezes in!) and a 2 year guarantee is standard.
The freezer does have a counterbalanced lid - this means it will stay open and won't slam down on you while you're digging around inside.
