What is the difference between a horizontal and upright freezer?

Chest freezers open from the top and usually offer more capacity, are more energy efficient and maintain the temperature better in the event of a power outage. Upright freezers look like a refrigerator, with shelves and drawers for easier organization, but have a smaller capacity compared to their size.

How long does it take for the temperature to stabilize?

It is recommended to put food in storage for at least 4 hours after the first operation and in the freezer for 8 hours. Typically, a new refrigerator takes 24 hours to reach its ideal operating temperature. During the first 2-3 days, especially in the summer months, you will also notice that the sides of the refrigerator are emitting heat, to lower the temperature inside the refrigerator.
