Freezer selection

I am also interested in this question. There is absolutely nowhere to put even a small vertical in the apartment. I think if you put it on the loggia, it is glazed, but not insulated. Pts hot in summer, cold in winter. Probably not worth the risk?

[Sibiryachka38]

Sibiryachka38, oh, I'm just choosing between 7184 and 7204)))) I can't decide everything)))))) prices for them, of course, have become .... and what Biryusa do you have? I also looked at her))))

[kuricapa]

kuricapa, now we have Biryusa 146 KLEA, the main criterion in the selection was - not very high, so that I could get everything myself, that's why there was a lot of throwing.

I decided to write and ask Vestfrost whether it is possible to put a chest on an unheated loggia (Aunt Basya wrote about this company at the beginning of the topic)
Answered
Officially, the plant cannot recommend this. But we know that our customers put this chest at our employee's on the glassed-in balcony and work normally.

[Gulsine]

Gulsine, I have the freezer on the glazed loggia all the time, for about 25 years, everything is fine, it works perfectly. They decided to change it, since we still have an old model, it takes a lot of electricity, so we take a more economical one (but also a larger volume, since the needs and desires to eat prepared in the summer, and not bought in markets, are growing!).
So feel free to put on the loggias, everything will be ok!

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, yes I just want 100 liters.
There are two more freezer drawers (in the refrigerator), but we immediately bring a lot of meat from the village, and there is no room at all for vegetables, fruits and berries
Now this letter from the company must be shown to my husband and resolved before our arrival from the village, in order to certainly bring more!
We also have a loggia on the south side, we need to solve with heat too

We also have a loggia on the south side, we need to decide with heat too

This is more serious for the summer ... is it really hot in the summer? It's very hot here, so I wouldn't put a freezer on the south side.
I have a loggia on the west side, it's very comfortable in the freezer ... it doesn't bake in summer, and in winter it's not very cold.

Sun all day long!

Sun all day long!

Then, it seems to me that it is undesirable ...

Aaaaa

[Gulsine]

Gulsine, do not compare the heat in Ukraine and the Moscow region.

do not compare the heat in Ukraine and the Moscow region.

Compare, don't compare. I have the same problem. Glazed balcony on the sunny side. Sun until 3 pm. In summer, the temperature on the balcony reaches 40-45 degrees. I can’t open the windows, because they overlook the traffic jam, 3rd floor. And what to do with the freezer in such conditions?

Gulsine, do not compare the heat in Ukraine and the Moscow region.

Maybe so ... but when we came to Moscow in the summer (my husband's brother lives there), it was no cooler than ours ... even, it seemed to me, a little more humidity. Although ... year after year is not necessary.

that's what I found

Vestfrost chest freezers are high-quality refrigeration machines. They are reliable in operation even at high ambient temperatures,

and more about sensors.

Main characteristics of chest freezers:

emergency sensor;
electronic control and reading of temperatures (electric thermostat with acoustic sensor);

Does this mean if something you don't like (hot / cold) turns off?

But there is nowhere about how many hours of autonomous cold storage

I can’t open the windows, because they overlook the traffic jam, 3rd floor. And what to do with the freezer in such conditions?

Hang blinds or blackout curtains on the windows. Believe me, if the sun does not heat up the balcony inside, then the cholera freezer will not grasp. And a closed window in the heat is even a plus. Hot air does not come in. I have a freezer on a glassed-in balcony for about 15 years. The sun hits me until 13-00. But before the blinds, and now the curtains do their job. On the balcony in the summer above 30 does not happen. If I were you, I would be more worried about the winter. If the balcony is poorly insulated, then there may be problems with the freezer. My temperature on the balcony does not drop below +12 in winter, because a huge croton lives there all year round and I keep the balcony door open to the room + the balcony is pretty insulated.

[Irina]

huge croton

Irina, sorry, what kind of animal is this ???

The blinds are hanging, though bamboo. But without them it would have been even worse. My balcony is not insulated and, to be honest, it should be re-glazed, because it was glazed during the time of the king of peas. But my second balcony is adjacent to this, they must be combined and only then glazed. Just as I can imagine how much it will result in, I postpone this process every year.
But I already found a place for a freezer in the apartment. True, you have to decorate it. Only if something happens, no one will take him back with the decor. I hope that everything will be fine.

Irina, excuse me, what kind of animal is this ???

This is an awesomely beautiful plant! Croton is oaky! It has green-red-yellow leaves. Very bright! He is already 20-25 years old.

Only if something happens, no one will take him back with the decor.

Well, you can decorate in a year, after the end of the warranty period, just in case! they are not so terrible these freezers, to decorate directly from the store!

My relatives in Novosibirsk (Siberia !!) have a Giochel freezer working perfectly on the balcony, still glazed with wooden frames, they say that it consumes much less electricity in winter

Freezer Giochel is generally indestructible. Everyone praises him. Only now he is not released.

[Taia]

Taia, and whose will this Giochel be?

Taia, and whose will this Giochel be?

Chisinau released earlier.

[Taia]

Taia, Thank you!

And today a chest freezer Snezh came to me. Now he is standing, recovering after a hundred-kilometer road. I'll start using it - I'll write about my impressions. I am pleasantly pleased with the price so far.

[Elena]

Elena, Congratulations!!!

[Irina]

This is an awesomely beautiful plant!

Irina, thanks for enlightening me !!! It turns out that I saw this flower many times, but did not know its name! Thank you!!!

My Liebcher made me happy.
The lights were turned off for a day last week. Thanks to the batteries, the temperature lasted and dropped only by a degree.

[Lenochka,]

Lenochka, Congratulations on your purchase! May it serve long and well! What is the volume of the chamber?

And we have just received a chest of 300 liters "Zanusi"! They have already been brought into the apartment, I have determined a place for him in the bedroom (which we use as a storage room), there I dry the leaves for tea, there is also all the equipment that I rarely use. It fit very well into the interior.
Today I will read the instructions and try to run it!
I want to freeze a lot of things for the winter.
Girls who froze corn for the winter, share your experience. Last year we froze it, and she was all gone ... and I love her with tender love!

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, I frozen boiled. I didn't like it at all after defrosting, although the freshly brewed was very tasty.
Congratulations on your purchase!

[Taia]

Didn't like it at all after defrosting

Taia, What to do?

What to do?

I don't know ... Such a bummer was ...
Today I bought corn at the market, I remembered about freezing and ehhhh ...

And I do not think about how to freeze it. I just cleaned it and threw the ears into the chest.Already 2 weeks are freezing. These are beautiful, though I haven't boiled them yet, I haven't tasted them. What didn't you like? Don't frighten the virgins, I've already frozen ten ears for my grandson ..

[Hope]

Hope, maybe depends on the variety?
We began to grow some imported varieties of corn, it seems Dutch, just for the table, sugar and sooooo tasty. So, to celebrate, I boiled them and froze them. Closer to the new year, I decided to eat, thawed it - and the taste is disgusting.
Taste is a concept ... you know what it is. Maybe the grandson will like it.

[Taia]

Taia, Tamara, I didn't boil it. I packaged it in packages, portions and sent it to freeze .. on Sunday I will take the sample, I will like it, I will still freeze it. Great lover.

[Hope]

Hope, here Natusichka wrote above that she did not freeze the boiled one and she did not like it.
You will boil a couple of frozen corn so you know what to expect.
And do not tell your grandson about your feelings, perhaps he will like it.

Girls who froze corn for the winter, share your experience.

Natusichka also froze it last summer, because they bought a big chest ... And I didn't like it. Moreover, I froze both raw and slightly boiled, and cut off the grains with a knife too - I tried to cut and freeze in bags. And on the cob.
Although the food was fresh, the same corn was delicious.
So this year I will not freeze. In general.
But suddenly someone has a successful experience to make it really tasty. and not "well, go ... you can eat" - then write, preferably with an indication of the variety and the process of cooking it - to freeze.

My Liebcher made me happy.
The lights were turned off for a day last week.

Likewise. A couple of weeks ago, the lights went out - in the whole village, there was a serious breakdown. This is the first time that we live here (almost 3 years).
I was a little afraid for the chest, so as not to drip. although she knew that according to the instructions there was a day or even more that completely kept the temperature.
Nothing was thawed and there was not even a noticeable difference - after turning on.
Chest, by the way, in this regard, too, is more reliable than a standing freezer-refrigerator.
It has no gaps and voids between the "floors" and the boxes, that is, the cold mass, in the event of a power outage, will not defrost for a long time - due to the fact that everything is tightly packed on all sides and the cold remains much longer.

Lenochka, thank you very much for the information! Now I have an even bigger mess in my head ...

I understand that you figured out the porridge.

Congratulations on Zanussey!
Let it last long and save your budget!
We noticed that at last year's tariffs, the consumption for e-mail. energy per chest per month was 10-15 hryvnia, (this will be more, of course).
But this cannot be compared with the fact that you do not need to buy a bunch of fruits and vegetables, because they get you almost for nothing (from your garden).
Even if purchased, for example, the same cauliflower - which I love and so boiled, with cheese ... with an egg ... and fried Shota I was distracted in the summer it was possible to buy for 7-8 UAH per kg,
then in winter it was 30. But when frozen, it does not lose its taste at all.

Natusichka, I congratulate you again Now we are friends with the same chests
And for the corn I will once again share my feelings ... I absolutely did not like it and I will no longer freeze it. Better to eat fresh in season.
I froze about a dozen ears of corn that year. I bought it at the end of the season, in September it seems. The variety, most likely, was not Dutch, but our zoned one. It would be better if I immediately boiled it and ate it.
On New Year's Eve I remembered about frozen cobs and I think let me pamper my own with the tastes of summer. Boiled a few pieces and was disappointed with neither taste nor aroma ... just tasteless. Then I tried to boil it again, and the same story, in the end I just cut the grains from the boiled roaches and used them in pizza.
There is no longer any desire to do such experiments with corn.
But this is my taste, and my opinion, and I will be very glad if someone shares another way of harvesting corn.

[Girls!]

Girls! Thank you very much for enjoying our purchase with me! Now so many plans are ripening in my head!

Elena, I agree with you 100% !!! This is a very big savings - buy in summer and autumn at a normal price and freeze, and enjoy in winter!

Nelechka! Yes, now you and I have become even dearer - only I was a little mistaken, we bought 400 (!!!!!!!) liters !!!

Natusichka, congratulations on your purchase! May it please you now and work for a long time and without problems!

[Natalia]

Thank you, Natalia!

Girls, and I'm all in anticipation. My freezer will be brought in today. Stopped at Gorenje F 6181 AX. Yesterday I already went to the market, asked the price for vegetables and fruits. We have opened a new market "Farmer of the Moscow Region". Since we have opened the current-current, the prices are still very encouraging.

[Ksenia]

only I was a little mistaken, we bought 400 (!!!!!!!) liters !!

Natasha, well, nothing's a mistake n * JOKINGLY * but as much as 100 liters
So you have a whole whopper, I mean by the size of the length. I know your freezer, your sister-in-law has such a chest, on the floor of the corridor.
Well, all the more I congratulate you, this is how much good you can shove there
Ksenia, and I send you my congratulations, because the freezer will appear in the house just right

[Nelya]

Nelya, Thank you. I wanted to be in time for the season.

[Nelya,]

Nelya, I didn't see her in my eyes when I bought ... I just read the dimensions. As long as there is room in the bedroom, and if you need a bedroom, it will move to the garage!

Natasha, don't think too much about the garage .. at first it seems that it is convenient .. when we changed the windows in the kitchen .. we put the refrigerator in the corridor .. and so it stood with me for half a year, it was not enough for me to walk: ))

I have 3 large freezer compartments in the refrigerator .... I will put a little of everything there, and the rest will be in the freezer.

and the law of meanness :)) this is when you need something that is not at hand :)) but on the street there is rain or snow knee-deep.
