Whirlpool introduces new voluminous chest freezer
Global home appliance giant Whirlpool Corporation has introduced a new capacious freezer named AFG 070 NFE-AP, incorporated with innovative solutions for using space intelligently.
Whirlpool’s extensive range of freestanding freezers provides a wide choice of models for different requirements, with excellent energy ratings packed with the latest freezing technology.
The new freezer features a dedicated compartment providing quick access to frozen pizzas and eliminates the problems of other items being stacked on top of them. The special Ice Zone provides hygienic storage for ice trays or can be used for quickly freezing delicate fruits like berries.
Compact drawers allow users to store smaller items in an orderly and visible way, while bulky loads can easily be fitted into the extra tall Max Space compartments which are 70% taller than normal drawers. The ergonomic ‘soft opening’ system makes the freezer extremely easy to open, nine times easier than a normal model, thanks to Whirlpool’s combination of an easy-opening handle and a patented air valve system to equalise air pressure inside and outside the freezer. A modern user interface provides constant feedback on the selected functions of the freezer.
The Whirlpool range consists of both cabinet freezers and under-counter freezers. For space and a sense of security, the eternal appeal of the capacious chest freezer shows no signs of diminishing. Whirlpool has seven models in its chest range, with gross capacity ranging from 207 to 510 litres.
The model achieved a test score of 72%, which was the best score in the chest freezer category. During testing the freezer also gained the highest score of five stars for insulation and four stars for recommended setting and reliability.
Key features and benefits of the Whirlpool AFG 070 NFE-AP Chest Freezer are: A+ energy performance for extra low running costs; ‘Never Defrost’ technology absorbing humidity to minimise frost formation and maintain optimum performance; electronic controls for ease of use; fast freeze for freezing down fresh food fast to maintain texture, flavour and nutritional value; temperature alarm light to warn of temperature increase; counter-balanced lid that stays open at any angle and closes gently; lockable lid; and net capacity of 204 litres.
The freezer is finished in white and features dimensions of 865 (H) by 806 (W) by 648 (D) mm.
