Westpoint Chest Freezer Sliding Door 314L WBXN-3520.S

Our review

This Westpoint chest freezer is a 314-litre unit built around glass sliding doors rather than a single hinged lid, which changes how you use it day to day. The sliding glass top lets you see and reach contents without lifting a heavy door, so it suits shops, bars and canteens where staff open the freezer often, as well as larger households storing bulk meat, fish or produce. It runs on 220 to 240 volts at 50Hz, draws 1.8A, and uses 150g of R134a refrigerant. The white body and double-door layout are worth noting if the unit will sit in a visible spot. Before buying, measure your floor space and check the door clearance, since sliding glass panels need room to move and the freezer should sit level. Compare it with solid-lid chest freezers of similar capacity: glass sliding models are easier to browse but can lose cold air faster when left open, so think about how often it will be accessed. Also weigh up a similar-capacity upright freezer if you prefer shelves over a deep chest. Available on Sokonia.
