We paid 239 for it , good little freezer for batch prepared meals.
Im happy with this freezer. Holds lots of food . Very quiet and was a reasonable price . Plus fast delivery
Had this since Feb. and so far very pleased. Motor running a fraction of the time of old freezer it replaced, so uses much less power. Also easier and quicker to defrost, – ice does not seem to adhere to freezer wall so much and comes away more easily with supplied plastic scraper.
Only slight negative, – unit was quite noisy in operation. Tracked this down to grill on side of freezer covering motor vibrating. Solved completely by placing small strips of old rubber carpet underlay between grill and freezer. Virtually silent now.
ot to big fits in my garage as extra food freeze
Great little freezer – consistently keeps things at -19. Very quiet. Only downside is the lid snaps open and slams shut! Will be buying another for extra storage.
Nice Freezer good size great for keeping all my frozen stuff all in one place without having to jam it all into the little freezer that is part of my fridge.
A very good product and it suited my needs perfectly
Just what was needed, I was struggling to store frozen food for my family of four, this came in handy, no need forcing food items into the fridge freezer again, one of those things that’s made a huge difference in my household. Recommended.
Great freezer for use in our garage
Not heavy east to manoeuvre empty
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants extra storage.
Feels nice not having to worry if your next frozen food order will fit in as it hold so much
This freezer is great works lovely smart looking and does the job its supposed to do.
We have this chest freezer outdoors in the garage and it’s not too big to be moved easily by two people. We recently bought half a lamb, and the capacity of the freezer easily allowed for this to be frozen. We haven’t received our energy bill yet, so it remains to see if it’s as energy efficient as promised. It’s a good brand make anyway, and we’re very happy with it!
Really like this freezer, it looks great and freezes well – if you turn it on the highest freezing level then you’d probably need to defrost your stuff for days, lol. It really does work well. I’m happy with this purchase.
It’s a very lightweight piece of equipment whichever you can reposition it very easily. A word of caution the lid does open very quickly so be careful. It springs open!!
Otherwise a very good value for money chest freezer.
Like the fact it’s so easy to move about. Bought extra trays. Ideal for Christmas foods.
I really don’t know how we managed without this! We have three large dogs, all fed raw, and use this for mainly their food. There’s enough room for a couple of weeks’ worth at a time, which makes life much simpler. It’s very lightweight, the delivery man lifted it into the house and then I managed to move it easily to where I wanted it. I would recommend to anyone.
I’ve just started using it and it seems to be working very well. We’ll it’s under a 5 year warranty if any problems occur. It’s Very quiet. Very spacious. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPENING THE FREEZER AS THE LID FLYS Up on my one. Just hold the lid when opening it. (A hazard warning should be on the freezer for that)
Not pleased about paying 275 and the price dropping down to 259 a week later. The tight twats could have reimbursed me the difference but chose not too.
Very lightweight and clean, streamlined look with no protruding handles. Useful capacity. Pleased with easyy to use controls.
So far so good, works fine. Looks well. Perfect delivery Five stars
Liked the freezer would have liked a small light inside. Apart from that very happy with the produc
Product is fine, worth the money. The delivery left a little to be desired!, no call 30 mins before, tried delivering the wrong item, and must be signed for ? never asked me too ?
Arrived very quickly, exactly as shipping schedule. Delivery guys where very helpful and removed old broken large chest freezer and installed new one. Overall very happy with new freezer, appears to be exactly as described. Only minor niggle, would have been nice to have an automatic light when freezer lid opened like old one! (freezer installed in garage). Overall very happy not a deal breaker.
Comprehensive instructions and information about the freezer. It is very good to have a freestanding lid.
Brilliant freezer. Can’t fault it at all. Great storage capacity. Runs super quiet and looks great in the black colour. 5
Had it plugged in for just over a week and no issues with frost.
Why in header it said A+ but actually F energy efficiency???
This freezer is good, I can not fault it. The delivery man was very helpful.
So far works well it’s the Ideal size very good value for money very pleased with i
Excellent service. And pick up of old freezer .staff extremely nice and professional to me and extremely helpful
Perfect size for a small family. Good price and comes with 5 year warranty.
All good only didn’t give it 5 stars coz it could do with another baske
Perfect size – remarkably lightweight, so I can move it around my “kitchen”. Which is basically an empty shell right now. Enough room to store a good quantity of food, which right now looks a good idea.
A basic chest freezer, not too big, but with ample space to suit a couple. The downside is that it is very small front to back, but also very deep, making it difficult to reach items stored near the bottom. Our previous freezer had the same volume, but was deeper and shallower so that everything was within easy reach. For tall people this isn’t a problem, but for those of us in the 5’0″ to 5′ 6″ height range it’s not so good.
My brother bought this freezer plug it in after 24-hours good value for money good delivery re5 out of 5
Firstly its easy to use ,set up and clean..
Had it almost a year and no problems yet.
If I had to make a complaint it would be lack of extra baskets..and if you wanted to purchase one from Russel Hobbs they charge a rediculous amount. And I just cant find any aftermarket ones the correct size…
This means having to dig through the frozen food to get at the lower food
Excellent. Not too small and not too large. When my chest freezer packed up during lockdown I could only find replacements on Amazon. This chest freezer has proved to be just right. Would be a good idea to provide more than one basket plus a stop on the springloaded lid and a light.
From order to delivery everything was really perfect and punctual. I really happy with their service.
Superb freezer, just as described and arrived exactly when expected – just as good as buying from a store.
Good value for money, so far is doing the job
A good item. There was dent on one side but it works fine. A bit expensive but with five years warranty the price is fine. This size is good for a family of six to seven people.
Good value for money and lots of storage capacity it also looks good
It is good for what i bought it for..so portable…thanks
Nothing more to say. I have only had it for 3 days – how can I possibly comment on performance !
We wanted to replace a very old and small freezer in our garage. Delivery was faultless – really nice driver who unpacked it and moved it to the right place. So far it seems to work and the 5 year guarantee is reassuring. Spring loaded lid is a bonus once you are used to it!
Only criticism is that it only comes with one basket. Bought another two which makes the space more usable.
Good sized product well made and also has a visual alarm on the unit if it has a issue, the basket inside is a bit flimsy but that said does the job , I brought this unit over others as this had a guarantee for 5 year rather that a warrantee
he freezer has more space then my old small chest one so I only have to do a big once a month very happy with my purchase
Great freezer so far, no problems at all. Suppliers was very hands on regarding delivery and all was delivered on time. They even took the packaging away.
It looks good and has an indicator light on the outside to show it is working properly.
Very please with this freezer. It is a perfect size, not too big or too small. It looks well made and has lights on the outside to show if everything is working okay.
Very prompt delivery by a very helpful driver who ensured we were happy with installation and removed all packaging
This is a great product and I am very satisfied with it. The 5-year extended guarantee is great. Fits in perfectly where I needed it. The service from ordering to delivering the product was absolutely great. Thank you.
Smart freezer with good capacity but difficult to find items at the bottom so purchased 2 more baskets. Works very well.
product arrived earlier than said so im delighted..easy to set up
his is a spacious chest freezer, great value for money, I would have liked a larger basket included. The only moan I would have is that the lid spring is too powerful and you have to make sure your ready for tit.
had a surprise with the lid when opening as it springs up, but I am sure I will get used to it, otherwise very nice product, quiet and not too large.
Just had it delivered, driver very helpful, unpacked the freezer and took all the box away. Left it 3 hours and I’ve just turned it on. Shopping tomorrow 🙂
Excellent product but only one tiny basket which was annoying. It cost us a further 40 to buy 2 more from Russell Hobbs
So far so good only received it yesterday but very nice and fits in the garage beautifully. Freezes amazing and very quiet. Delivery driver Rob from Product care was extremely helpful, help us to unpack and take away the packaging, very nice man. The customer service from Electrical Shop to Product Care has been A+++ well done.
The freezer is exactly as I expected – perfect. Everything from ordering to delivery was excellent. This is mainly due to a company which relies and uses communications as it is intended. I was never left in doubt where the freezer was and when it would be delivered . Cannot think of any negatives, probably because there weren’t any.
Great product. Five year warranty. The lid does fly up a bit quick when opened as it is not dampened.
So far very happy, good price. Delivered by Product care, very professional a please
Delivery on time and courteous, unit started straight away after 3 hour settling in period. Pleased by spacious design.
Really should be sold with more baskets! Have ordered three more.
I had to buy this freezer in a hurry because my 18 month old Kenwood fridge freezer broke down.
When it arrived I was delighted with the good looking exterior and even more delighted with the performance and easy to use controls.
Great purchase to replace an upright freezer capacity is great, price really good and when it arrived it was bought right to where we wanted it for the garage the driver even offered to put it in place when my husband asked if it was heavy the driver showed how light weight it was by picking up the box , really happy n does what we wanted
difficult to review at present as only had a few days but impressed with the ease of ordering, delivery and at present, pleased with the produc
We were impressed with communications about delivery and prompt response to any queries. The freezer is as advertised and is high quality
Works perfectly and looks lovely too a lot more space than I thought it would have as well VERY please with it.
I’m loving this freezer, so much more space than the freezer half of my fridge freezer. I am now going to buy a free standing fridge without a freezer included giving me more fridge space too, best of both worlds.
A suitable freezer, remarkably light which means that unless well stocked it can tend to rock if the lid is opened suddenly. good value and the seller was great. delivery staff also
Right size, des the job, but was misled over delivery – it took much longer than promised and food was deteriorating.
Arrived on time and appears to be working well but I have only recently received it and turned it on. Using in the garage to store produce from my allotment and could do with a slightly longer electrical lead to reach the socket.
Good looking freezer, easy to use and great idea to have a plug in the bottom with external port so that water can drain out when de-frosting. Russell Hobbs were really helpful. We got a free 5 year extended warranty and when I phoned with a query, they were incredibly helpful. All round excellent product and service.
Highly recommended.
Excellent service, I was given the choice of delivery dates and arrived on time with a phone call from the driver to say a more precise time, the driver then carried this on his own into my home unpacked it and let me inspect the product, even asked if there was anything else he could do for me! The product itself does what it says on the tin! It’s a freezer it’s lightweight, shame it doesn’t have a light in the lid but not something I thought about when I ordered it so my fault there! Easy lift lid, in fact it springs open a bit to hard. But over all good product and the service received from the seller has upped it to an excellent buy.
Only thing which I found weird is the adjustable legs to stabilise the freezer are not in the front, they are on one end back and front on the left hand side which I thought strange, used cardboard to stabilise, but now okay. I have freezer in outhouse so have to use torch for freezer as no inside light, but that’s just more stuff to go wrong isn’t it. Ive given this freezer a good account but only just received not long ago so cant comment on life of the freezer. I would say though, I don’t advise buying hotpoint frost free freezer coz you have to open it up yourself every so often to defrost it manually. Daw
