Old Chest Freezer. Time For A New One??

[grandpajoe]

It is at least 40 years since we bought it and it is working O K but should we get a new one. I assume a new one would be more efficient and less power.. Chris

A new one will be a lot more energy efficient but you have to weight that against the cost of a new one.
If you do decide to buy one ensure it is A rated for energy efficiency

Is it to go in a garage?

Any use?

40 years ? Way past its best .

Be aware that energy ratings have recently changed - if it is A+ (or more than one +) it is the old energy rating and is equivalent to an E in the new system. It will be easier in long term but is confusing for the buyer just now.

not read the link but I think A++ became C under the new ratings - leaving A & B free for future improvement (I could be wrong!).

[davebro]

the one in the Amazon link is F rated so there may be more efficient ones available.

Such a throw-away society we live in :-(

Thank you all for your replies and yes it will live in the garage
