A deep Freezer can have any shape or size. When its in the shape of a chest, its known as a chest freezer. A chest freezer is the same as a deep Freezer. By National Refrigeration Company, Darya Ganj, New-Delhi
The Frigidaire model AFFC1466D is a self defrosting chest freezer model.
I tried to look it up, but I was asked for the serial number as well as the model number which you've given. However, pull the freezer away from the wall. It should have a metal tag on the back with its year of manufacture.
It's easy to forget what is in your chest freezer because food tends to get buried under other foods. Most chest freezers come with at least one wire basket to help you organize food, but you can add more. Wire baskets can be purchased from the manufacture or from a home improvement store. If you repackage foods into individual portions, add the date with a permanent marker to avoid eating spoiled food. Clean out your freezer every three to six months to toss expired or freezer burnt foods.
Freezer- Upright 15 years, Freezer- Chest 18 years
The pros of a chest freezer is that it can store more food in it. However, the con is that takes up more room than an upright freezer. A con of an upright freezer is that it doesn't have as much space as a chest freezer.
Any freezer needs to be kept closed as much as possible if you wish for it to remain cold. However a chest freezer will not warm up as fast as an upright freezer. This is because the cold air in the freezer is heavier than the air outside of the freezer. When you open an upright freezer the cold air "falls" out, this can't happen with a chest freezer.
The Frigidaire FFC0511 Chest Freezer is equipeed with automatic defrost.
The main advantage of a chest freezer over a regular freezer is size. The larger size of a chest freezer allows for more storage space to hold a larger number of items.
An upright freezer is designed to be stood upright in a vertical position whilst a chest freezer is stored horizontally. This results in the upright being able to fit in tight spaces however, it gives chest freezers more capacity space.
5.0 cubic ft. is the smallest chest freezer on the market. Home Depot has really good deals on them.
