⚡ At a Glance

• Freezing Performance: 4-star freezer rating maintains safe long-term storage and keeps food solidly frozen
• The pick for: Medium households that need extra space or a garage-sited secondary freezer
• Not suited to: Serious batch-cooking meal-preppers; 199L capacity forces repeated reorganising and may require more than one cycle to store a month’s worth of cooked meals

A basic 199L chest with a removable basket and a 4-star freezing rating. Quiet operation and garage compatibility make it a practical second unit for a family home.

Mastering frozen organisation via a removable storage basket

A top basket keeps small items like bags of peas and ready-to-use sauces within easy reach, avoiding the usual bottom-of-the-chest rummage. By separating loose items, the basket reduces the need to dig through stacked parcels and cuts the time the lid stays open.

Faster access to frequently used foods makes day-to-day meal prep less fiddly. A trade-off exists: taller or awkwardly shaped items still need laying flat in the main cavity, so plan your packing in two zones.

199L Capacity – Built for extra family storage

A 199-litre internal volume holds a sensible amount of weekly groceries while the four-star rating guarantees freezer-safe long-term storage and stable internal temperatures. Low-noise operation at 42 dBA keeps background sound low enough for placement in open-plan kitchens or utility rooms.

Room for a month’s worth of essentials for a small family, delivered in a compact footprint. If you batch-cook extensively for a large household, then the single 199L chamber will require careful stacking and more frequent reorganising to avoid burying items.
