In Detail

Say goodbye to freezer Tetris - here's a simply cavernous freezer with over 500 litres of usable space: enough storage for 26 full bags of shopping.

Quality Heritage

Haier is a popular Chinese brand that has a long-standing partnership with premium German brand Liebherr, so there's peace of mind in terms of quality and reliability.

Energy Efficient

One aspect of that quality shines through in the insulation this freezer has. It really helps with energy efficiency (it uses only 385kw/h of electricity per year despite its size), and it can keep food safe for up to 35 hours in a powercut.

A handy LCD temperature readout tells you at a glance how cold the interior is, while an accessible front drain port will help when it comes to the chore of defrosting (sorry, not even this one is frost-free!)

Key Features

Two wire baskets come as standard

The chunky handle is easy to use with hands full

A bright light illuminates the large interior

LCD readout accurately tells you the internal temperature

A clean back allows for a flush fit against the wall and keeps dust away

Basket Blunder

There are only two baskets supplied, which is a bit mean given its size although most manufacturers do skimp here and also make it difficult to find additional ones (you could try here)

Indoor Only

It is a shame that despite its otherwise high-spec that it is not suitable for garages or other unheated outbuildings. So you'll need a decent size kitchen, utility room or spare room to keep it in.

Our View

Here's a real giant of the appliance world, one of the largest consumer chest freezers around so you will always have plenty of choice for quick and convenient family meals.

Comments & Feedback

Mark Green

Excellent chest freezer love the fact this freezer has inside light & lock on lid great size also really glad I went for biggest one will hold loads of shopping great for all the food we buy once a month

Bukky

It's massive! in a good way at the same time doesn't seem to take up too much space. Comfortably stores everything without being cramped. No regrets so far. ?? Hopefully no issues in the future. It would be nice if it had more than 2 baskets because of the size. Otherwise loving it.

Adam

Really good freezer that holds more than you think. No internal compartments that some chest freezers seem to have so with baskets provided you can do what you want. One small point that’s isn’t a negative to the rating of this freezer but it doesn’t have wheels. Do love the dimming light inside, had to open and close the lid a few times just watch it :)

Excellent, really pleased with purchase, we were concerned we wouldn't be able to get it through the door without problems but the width was including the handle and thats really substantial, went through fine. Excellent space and value.
