"The freezer is here, and my daughter asked me to buy a cow." This is a message from my friend Li Gong in Xiongda Circle. After Xiongda shared the article about the launch of a new frost-free vertical freezer product in the circle, many people left messages or private messages, hoping that Xiongda could give a detailed introduction to this product.
After experiencing this special period, more and more people need to purchase or replace "large-capacity" refrigerators, as well as freezers that were rarely used in family life before. "1 refrigerator + 1 freezer" or "2 refrigerators + 1 freezer" seems to have become a standard appliance for families to store large amounts of food. Before introducing the products , , let me first talk about how to choose a freezer that suits you. Everyone is still relatively unfamiliar with this type of product.
How to choose a freezer that suits you
In fact, a freezer is a relatively "easy" home appliance to choose. When purchasing, you only need to focus on these three aspects:
. Look at the capacity and size
Mainstream household freezers on the market The capacity is between 100-300 liters. The key to choosing a freezer with a storage capacity depends on your family’s daily storage needs. If you are a family of two or three or have little storage needs, then a 100-200 liter freezer is basically enough; but if you are a multi-person family or have large storage needs, it is recommended to choose a 200-300 liter freezer.
When purchasing, be sure to consider the location of the freezer in advance. Pay attention to the width, depth and height of the freezer. The usual dimensions are . In the purchase details page of the product , you can also consult sales customer service, etc. for delivery. Once you get home, it can be a bit embarrassing if the size is wrong.
, look at the temperature zone
Freezers on the market are mainly divided into two types: single temperature zone and dual temperature zone . Their main features and differences are shown in the figure below.
If your refrigerator only has a freezer compartment and the refrigerator compartment is not enough, then when buying a freezer, it is recommended to buy a single-temperature zone freezer; if your refrigerator is not large enough for both the freezer and freezer compartments, it is recommended to choose a double-temperature freezer. Freezer in warm zone.
. See refrigeration methods
There are two common refrigeration methods in freezers - direct cooling and air cooling. The advantages and disadvantages of the two are shown in the figure below: .
If you are diligent and can clean the freezer once a month, then you can choose a direct-cooled freezer; while the air-cooled freezer has no drawbacks except that it is slightly more expensive.
After you determine the above three points, you can basically choose your favorite refrigerator. Of course, in addition to , there is also a unique type of freezer that you can choose, that is - the "vertical freezer".
Its biggest feature is that it is different from the ordinary horizontal freezer introduced before. This vertical freezer looks like a small refrigerator. When you open it, there will be several layers of drawers to help you organize your food neatly. Every time you look for something, you don't have to fill it up like a chest freezer, making it very troublesome to rummage through.
0.32 square meters of floor space, 167L large freezer space
Next, I will introduce the characteristics of this new freezer in detail. Its features mainly focus on the following aspects.
- Small size and large capacity
is a new product of the Japanese brand. Its series follows their consistent design concept of products - "small size, large capacity". Let’s take a look at its appearance size.
Panasonic Freezer FZ161 series has two styles with handles (overall dimensions are width 588mm*depth 661mm*height 1445mm) and without handles (overall dimensions are width 544mm*depth 599mm*height 1445mm). It goes without saying that it It is a freezer that can be placed independently or built-in.The total area of is about 0.32m². And inside, it has a large capacity of 67 liters .
- Layered design, clear at a glance
Different from the traditional chest freezer, the design of the vertical cabinet freezer is a drawer-type storage shelf. The layered design makes the placement of items more orderly, and the display of items is intuitive and clear. Meat, seafood, quick-frozen food, milk, different foods can be matched to meet the frozen storage needs of the whole family.
Let’s take a look at the comparison of the internal storage design of a set of chest freezers and this frost-free vertical freezer:
From the comparison of the above pictures, we can very clearly understand that the FZ161 series of frost-free vertical freezers in Song* Advantages: Firstly, the food storage is intuitive and easy to take; secondly, it is separated and stored so that there will be no odor transfer between foods.
- Five-level precise temperature control with visual operation
pine*↓Frost-free vertical freezer FZ161 is equipped with -16°C to -24°C five-level visual interface temperature control settings, covering the appropriate freezing temperature for all types of ingredients. For example, meat at -16°C, fish at -18°C, breast milk and complementary foods at -20°C, ice cream at -22°C, and ice cubes at -24°C. It can be set with the touch of a button to provide long-lasting freshness for ingredients.
Different from the traditional chest freezer temperature adjustment rotary button, which is usually designed at the bottom of the freezer, the temperature adjustment button of Panasonic's frost-free vertical freezer is designed at the top of the freezer. You can easily adjust the temperature without bending down.
- Air-cooled, frost-free, silent and low-energy consumption
The so-called "air-cooled and frost-free" refers to a freezer that will not form frost on the inner wall of the freezer. There is an evaporator inside the FZ161 series of frost-free vertical freezers in Song*. It is usually equipped with a small fan around it. This small fan can continuously provide cold air, allowing the air inside the freezer to keep flowing, making the freezer The temperature can always be kept even. The air inside an air-cooled frost-free freezer is generally fresh, and food is less likely to stick together.
As a first-class energy-efficiency home appliance, the Panasonic frost-free vertical freezer FZ161 series has very low energy consumption. The daily power consumption can generally be controlled within 1 degree, which is only a few yuan. At the same time, the low temperature fluctuation caused by precise temperature control allows the machine to always operate at 43dB (A) with low noise. You don’t have to worry about the noise caused by starting and stopping the freezer motor.
Adjusted the design plan
Xiongda purchased a Panasonic large-capacity "freezer + refrigerator" for the renovation of his parents' home
In fact, like his friend Li Gong mentioned at the beginning of the article, Xiongda has been paying attention to the freezer during this special period. I browsed the products of many brand manufacturers online, but I still couldn't find the one I liked. Either the appearance is too low, or the floor space is too large, I always feel that the chest freezer is not suitable for home decoration. As for the built-in small freezers that are placed in the kitchen with a capacity of less than 100 liters, the capacity is too small, and it is very inconvenient for parents to bend down to take things.
After the frost-free vertical freezer FZ161 series was launched, I immediately contacted Mr. Chen, the designer who decorated my parents’ home, and asked him to reserve a place in the patio.
As for the choice of refrigerator, I plan to use Panasonic NR-B581 series (width 906mm * depth 648mm * height 1890mm) large-capacity refrigerator for my parents' home. With a large capacity of 570 liters and a price of about 6,000 yuan, it is very cost-effective and very suitable for the elderly. Placed in my living room, designed side by side with the TV cabinet, embedded in the cabinet, the integrity is very strong. In the next article of , I will give a detailed introduction to this product.
