Haier 508L Freestanding Chest Freezer, White

The Haier Series 7 is the largest freezer in this guide, at a listed 508 litres, and it ranks seventh. At £495.00 it is also among the dearer models here, so its case rests on volume and on the claim that it will run in an outbuilding: Haier's Extreme Cold Shield is said to keep it working at temperatures down to -15°C, and the highlight field lists it as suitable for garages, basements and outbuildings.

Two numbers in the listing are worth slowing down for. The model number is the HCE520EK — a 520 in the name against 508 litres of stated capacity, the same upward rounding the guide flags elsewhere. And one owner review describes "the 418L capacity", roughly 90 litres below what the specification table says. The rating is 4.3 out of 5, listed as 79 ratings, while the star breakdown on the same page adds to 100: 66 five-star, 20 four-star, 3 three-star and 11 one-star. The freezer measures 154.5 cm wide, 75 cm deep and 84.5 cm high and weighs 69 kg. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands; we have not tested the freezer.
