Things to Consider

Before purchasing a new freezer, there are a number of important factors to consider. To make your purchasing decision easier, we’ve pulled together our top things to consider before buying your new appliance:

Space

Before purchasing a new appliance, it’s important to measure the space where you are hoping to install your freezer. Measure the width, height, and depth of the area, making sure to account for ventilation room. There should be at least 50mm of empty space above the freezer, 30mm at the back, and 25mm free on each side. For those considering an integrated model, head over to our built-in buying guide to find out what you should consider before you buy.

Access

Before placing your order, be sure to measure the size of the entrances into your home and check that any narrow hallways are big enough for the appliance to fit through.

Energy rating

Pay attention to the energy efficiency rating of the appliance, the higher the energy class the more efficient it is. As a company, we are committed to improving the average energy efficiency of our products year after year.
