Freezer selection

[marshmallow]

marshmallow, I also don't have a summer residence. But I bought a 7-drawer freezer. I bought it long ago. It is very profitable. Calculate the amount of money for the energy consumed by the freezer per month and compare the prices of berries and vegetables in season and in winter. It turns out to be very profitable. I freeze everything! Now there are cherries in the freezer. plum, lingonberry, cranberry, strawberry, apple slices, various boiled mushrooms, chopped pumpkin in sachets, frozen dill, parsley, purple black basil Frozen small onions. Even dulka tomatoes with thick skin for your favorite tomato soups. Cauliflower, broccoli. and a lot more. In the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, there are always dumplings, dumplings, meatballs, meatballs, frozen pancakes and chopped and diced boiled beets for a vinaigrette or beetroot. There are also plastic jars with potato broth for dough and frozen whey after making homemade cottage cheese or cheese. Nothing is lost. Now I can't even imagine how you can live without a freezer.

diced boiled beets for vinaigrette or beetroot

Oh, sweetness! I hadn't thought of that.

[Creamy]

Creamy, Chamomile1Thank you girls! I ordered in an online store, and then I doubted, today is the last day, I already called my husband to pay. Now I will be with the camera! Thanks again!

[marshmallow]

marshmallow, no need to doubt! You did the right thing that paid for the usefulness of the acquisition, you will understand at the beginning of operation. The season of harvesting will come up and it will rush))))) and then it is necessary to prepare, and this is a must ...
I also have a 2-meter Electrolux, and while there was no freezer chest, I stuffed 3 large shelves so much that then I could not open them
My husband looked and looked at this disgrace, and even with him, I began to lament more artistically that I had little space, and that I could not freeze everything that I needed, and that I would soon ditch the refrigerator, and stretch out this shelf for me and get me exactly that briquette, which lies at the very bottom ... in short, the husband could not stand it and gave up a verdict - you need to take the freezer
True, we have a small house plot, but I make the bulk of the preparations from the bazaar, in summer and autumn prices are much lower than now. Despite the fact that this year (for family reasons) I was very much not up to the preparations, and I did not freeze everything I wanted, I filled the refrigerator shelves and more than half of Zanusi's 300l chest. Now all these blanks are very helpful when you go to a store or a bazaar, look at the prices, and think: girl-th: why should I buy, because everything is in the magic box
During the operation of the chest, I made some conclusions for myself, and work on mistakes. In particular, even this year I was going not to cook jam and roll up compotes, and no, I could not stand it: girl_cray: the cans in the basement are dead weight, there are some that are not the first year. And frozen berries and fruits melt before our eyes. Why do you ask to cook in the summer, if it does not work at all ... and even if you want that jam in winter, it is not easier to get a bag of berries from the freezer and cook so much jam to eat.
So do not hesitate, you made the right choice and everything will be justified over time.
True, of course it's a shame that prices have soared now, my Zanusi glanced now more than 2 times in price

[nila]

nila, thanks for the support! Girls, a little white Atlant for 6 boxes is already at home! It is doubly pleasant that my husband found him not yet at the most expensive price. More expensive, of course, than it was, but a little cheaper than everywhere else: 17,240. And I bought meat for the action, I already mixed three portions of the dough in a bread maker, I wound the minced meat, the camera after transportation will settle until the morning, I'll get up early - and the dumplings in it in rows and columns And then different dumplings, and then saburani and Kiev cutlets ... And there, the summer will arrive in time with strawberries. Lord! How long have I wanted to do all this, not when it is already urgently necessary to faint, but in advance, when there is time and inspiration! And so that everything fits, and does not creak into an overflowing freezer! Hurrah!
Girls! Thank you again for your support and not letting me make a mistake. Then I would still have to buy, but even more expensive. And the toad would dushiil Thank you !!!!

[marshmallow]

marshmallow, a little time has passed, how do you like your freezer? Noisy or not? I am also facing the choice of a freezer, looking at Atlant or Biryusa. It seems that Atlant outweighs, in Biryusa they did not like the boxes, they seemed flimsy, the volume is about the same.

The girls can't help but share - they brought me a 400-liter Liebherr freezer !!!!
I am like the ant who married the elephant. Crawls on it and screams - and it's all mine !!!!!

[Natasha]

Natasha, in six months you will open with the thought: is this ALL?

[Mams]

Mams, Nuuuuuuu quite admit, but so far I can’t believe it. She's huge!

in six months you will open with the thought: is this ALL?

That's for sure . I had my first "LG" with boxes of 200 liters, a week later it was already small. The second - "Electrolux" - a chest of 400 liters - MALOOOO!

[maaalooo !!!]

but I can't believe it yet.

Believe me, I have 270 liters 2 times + 120 liters 1 time, the freezer in the refrigerator does not even count, in the fall = maaalooo !!!

[Irsha]

Irsha, what have you got in the Trans-Urals to freeze?
Here we have - yes ... You can put freezers in a row.

Congratulations, and I have the same one, at first I thought agromadic, but now I don't think so, I ice everything, I'm happy as a hundred elephants

[burner]

what do you have in the Trans-Urals to freeze something?

He-garden riches - the berry grows with us - we collect at least 50-60 liters of our raspberries, irga, different currants, sea buckthorn, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, ice cream peppers, carrots, beets, cabbage onburnernon-baked, homemade milk from the bazaar is packed in small containers, the broth is the same. There would be a freezer - and the hostess will always find what to put in it. In autumn, of course, imported plums, peaches, apricots.

Freeze milk?
And how is it after defrosting?

Freeze milk?
And how is it after defrosting?

the old country way, after defrosting - ordinary milk, only it turns sour faster than not frozen, this also applies to broths. Especially for morning cereals, I pack milk not in bottles, but in sour cream 0.4 liters with plastic glasses = very convenient, pouring hot water over a glass, squeeze the ice cream into a saucepan and cook porridge, it is also suitable for a multicooker.

beetroot-cabbage,

and how does cabbage behave after defrosting?

I have been freezing all vegetables, except for potatoes, for several years, in the absence of a vegetable pit the whole harvest at home. I use it without defrosting = everything is very fine, nothing is fermented like fresh. I pack in packages flat - it is more convenient to break off the required amount. Carcass, fry, boil. For example, cabbage into manti, - I knock on the bag with a wooden crush, crushing the freeze, shake the cabbage slices, then mix with meat and onions = minced meat.

I slowly think over the freezer.Virgo, I can't decide which is more convenient - drawers or folding doors? Who has what, share your impressions, pliz!
It seems to me that pulling out the top drawer and carrying it on your hands in order to get something is not very healthy for your health. Again, to fly off the stool with that drawer is a piece of cake ... Or am I mistaken?

Can't decide which is more convenient - drawers or folding doors?

top - doors, bottom - drawers, I have such - Indesit SFR 167, not frost. 7 compartments = 3 drawers at the bottom, 4 large shelves with hinged doors at the top., but also not super high
Dimensions (WxDxH)
60x66.5x167 cm

And it seems to me that the boxes are more convenient. I have a height of 197 cm. And I see everything in the upper boxes what and how. But I'm not petty.

More details: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=6443.200

my height also does not allow me to look into the upper boxes and take something from there. here is a low = 85 cm Biryusa 14 EK, it is convenient for the drawers - I pulled it out and everything is visible from above

We bought Biryusa 146 KL, it is 145 cm high, low noise, all the boxes are transparent, you can see everything, but you have to be more careful with them, because, in my opinion, they are flimsy. Before that, they took Atlant, the boxes in it were stronger, but they had to hand over, because it was buzzing like an airplane landing. We suffered for a week and refused to buy, fortunately, the store took it back without any problems. Then they took this Biryusa while it suits him. And Biryusa 14 EK, it seems to me, is too small.

[Irsha]

top - doors, bottom - boxes,

Irsha, Irina, so it seems to me that the combined option is more convenient - on top of the doors, on the bottom - boxes. I want, of course, a large, high (under two meters) freezer, one could want a chest if there was more space on the floor. I'm going to think and choose, thanks to everyone for the advice!

And Biryusa 14 EK, it seems to me, is too small.

alone - we, the fans, of course, 120 liters about nothing. She is still Soviet, then it was - ooo !!! I have 2 more indesites of 270 liters each.

-Do you have a refrigerator? - no, it works fine.

[I have 2 more indesites, 270 liters each.]

alone - we, the fans, of course, 120 liters about nothing. She is still Soviet, then it was - ooo !!! I have 2 more indesites, 270 liters each.

that's great, there are never enough freezers. And I look at mine and think, no matter how little it was during the preparation, although in addition to it I still have five boxes in two refrigerators, but everything is not enough for me, not enough
but everything is always there.

And I’m not a procurer at all - I don’t have vegetable gardens, dachas, and I buy potatoes from private traders for the winter. Carrot-beetroot in small quantities falls from good relatives, we have enough until spring, we do not eat much. The only thing is that my mother makes the rolls of purchased tomatoes, but they feel good in the cellar. For the future, I took care of buying a freezer I read the Khlebopechkinsky here - how they procure everything, I myself wanted to be just as cool to manage))))
By the way, should we have a topic about blanks?

By the way, should we have a topic about blanks?

We have a topic about what can be stored in the freezer, etc. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=6043.20
For some reason, no one pays attention to the electricity consumption class of the freezer. And in those freezers that were advised above, the class eats wow

[momentary]

It often happens that momentary the price of the device outweighs all other arguments for energy saving. I'm not able to pay more than 17-18000 r for a freezer. Our prices are not on par with before and around Moscow prices. And the unit does not always manage to justify its high price in the current realities, when the shelf life is not so much a debt. Here is a program about the same

[Chardonnay]

Chardonnay, I also buy everything, but the freezer is quite large. Here are tomatoes bought in the fall and frozen, tastier and sweeter than the greenhouse ones bought at exorbitant prices in winter. The same goes for other vegetables and berries.
And I freeze milk for porridge. And I even specially ice it in the summer, because I cook on a delay, and in the summer I have a south side and it is very hot in my apartment. And milk can turn sour before boiling.

[Chamomile1]

Chamomile1, Olga, thank you for reminding me about the porridge on the postponement! Now I'm studying the topic https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ion=com_smf&topic=6043.20 , kindly prompted Taia, there is so much ...

Atlant 7204-100 I'm interested in this model, I also thought about ATLANT М 7184-003

I also tend to buy Atlant 7204

I read you all, I want a freezer: girl_cray: for a large volume of 270 liters, help me with the choice.

Girls, finally, I'm ripe for buying a freezer. At first I wanted a small chest of 100 liters. He got up right to the balcony door and hid behind the curtain. But every time I went into the topic of frost, I realized more and more that 100 liters would not save me. This is NOTHING. I started looking. I wanted it higher, so that it could fit more, so that the price would not be prohibitive (within 25,000 + - a little). The main question is the presence or absence of no frost. I had the previous refrigerator with him. I did not know any problems, nothing froze in the freezer. This function is not present in the current one. Naturally, you have to periodically defrost it, more sometimes you cannot pull out the box. Stopped at Gorenje F 6181 AW. Volume 261, price 24500, no no frost. Or Gorenje FN 6191 OW. The volume is 20 liters less, the price is almost 9000 more, but there is no frost.
I would like to ask the owners of freezers without no frost. How often do you defrost your cameras, how quickly does the ice build up? Who Gorenje share, pliz, your impressions !!!

[kseniya D]

kseniya D, I had a freezer without know frost. and a sad moment came when it was all overgrown, and we did not eat the entire freezer. I had to urgently buy a freezer with know frost, and transfer the contents to a new freezer. And the first freezer without the know-frost was bought from me by a farmer who keeps calves and then slaughters them for sale. This is my personal experience.

[Creamy]

Creamy, and what model they bought.

There was Biryusa, changed to Indesit.

when it was all overgrown, and we did not eat the whole freezer

Yes, I think that you will have to defrost this only in winter in order to take the contents out to the balcony. Alevtina, and after what time did it become so covered with ice?

[kseniya D]

kseniya D, over a year with a little ice. And I don't have a cold balcony. I insulated everything in due time and now I have a winter garden there.

Clear. It's easier for me, I have 3 of them, and 2 of them are not even glazed. I don't like glazed balconies

[kseniya D]

kseniya D, my loggia faces a very noisy street. And a cold balcony with an exit from the kitchen would not hurt me.

know frost is wonderful, wonderful, and so on. BUT - it's expensive. For me expensive.
A year ago, my "Saratov" freezer (120-130 liters - I don't remember) of 1995 finally broke down. I was puzzled by the purchase of a new, big one, because there was not enough. Although I also have a fridge with a freezer for 3 drawers.
And I also ran around the shops, tried it on to my height (155cm), and then thought.
The large freezer has a large door. Opened - the frost came out. So, you need 2 doors. But if there are 2 doors, then 2 compressors - what if one breaks?
And what happens?
2 doors, 2 compressors = 2 freezers?
That's how I got 2 freezers, one above the other. They just built it neatly ...
Freezers POZIS, Compact line. One for 3 boxes, the second for 5. Boxes are very spacious and strong. And for the price, my 2 freezers came out cheaper by almost 2.5 thousand one with two doors ...
We worked for exactly one year. I haven't defrosted it yet ... Naledi is not there, why go there?

[Alisa-Topol]

Alisa-Topol, Elena and the photo can be as they are two in one.

I've already taken out my whole brain with this freezer. I used to want to glaze and insulate the balcony in the kitchen-living room and put a freezer there. But in the summer (and this is the sunny side) there will be nothing to breathe there. On that very only glazed balcony, located next door, the temperature reaches 50 degrees. Also for the freezer, probably not good. You cannot open windows, because

overlooks a very noisy street

with standing plugs and only the 3rd floor.
Therefore, I will put it in the corridor and decorate it to fit into the interior. My husband, however, is not yet aware of my plans.

[kseniya D]

kseniya D, I have a pantry adjacent to the kitchen, and in this pantry I have a freezer.

[Alisa-Topol]

Alisa-Topol, two small freezers are a good idea, with pleasure I will look at the photos of their placement !!!!! I would not have guessed! And finance is not so sharp !!!

there was a freezer without know frost. and a sad moment came when it was all overgrown, and we did not eat the entire freezer.I had to urgently buy a freezer with know frost, and transfer the contents to a new freezer

Oh girls, you can get off your head! If your shoes are dirty, do you also run for new ones?
I never had a noufrost when I was born (although I have 2 cold and 1 freezer) and nothing, no problem!
I defrost it 2 times a year. (at intervals of half a year).
This is done very simply! The contents are taken out on oilcloth and covered with oilcloth and a blanket on top. A fan is placed in front of the open door of the unit to be defrosted. Defrosting with a fan takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the amount of frozen ice. Then I wash everything, wipe it and load it, at the same time I write a fresh list of contents, well, sclerosis! Without a list, nothing! In general, everything about everything takes a maximum of 1-20. Naturally unloaded from the refrigerator under the covers in the heat 35 * does not even have time to melt!

35 * unloaded from the refrigerator under the covers in the heat does not even have time to thaw!

Irina, thank you, you opened my eyes straight to me - about a blanket I haven't bought a freezer yet, but I will also apply it to the refrigerator!

It's not even that ice forms in the freezer. All my products, except for meat (they are consumed faster), are covered with a decent amount of snow, no matter how I close the bags. There is no such thing with know frost. If the vegetables can still be quickly rinsed with water, then this trick will not work with cutlets, cheesecakes or pancakes.

Frost will of course be formed. I'll tell you a secret: if the forgotten lies for 1.5-2 years - then horror, how much ice! But if stored within the permissible shelf life, then there is practically no ice (well, or quite a bit).
For me, know frost has always been inadequate for the price, and there is another nuance - so at least once in half a year I have to wash, but know frost, probably, would forget to wash!

In general, I have a blue dream - a chest! But before dreams come true, like crustaceans before Moscow! The situation is not the same in the country and in the family budget.
