Save green

The Frigidaire FFN15M5HW is ENERGY STAR certified. That sounds great, but what does it actually mean? Well, ENERGY STAR is a government program that certifies when certain products are much more energy-efficient than the industry minimum. This is great for two reasons. First of all, less energy usage is easier on the environment, helping to conserve precious natural resources and minimize environmental impacts from things like dams. But secondly, using less energy saves a lot on utility costs, so you're left with extra cash in your pocket every month from using ENERGY STAR-certified appliances.

What's wrong with the fridge?

Chances are, your refrigerator has a freezer attached to it. So you may be asking why you would need a separate freezer to store more food. Well, that depends. Do you like to hunt? Do you like to make home-cooked meals? Are you a fan of frozen pizzas and burritos? Well, if you answered yes to any of those, you may want a separate freezer. A standalone unit will often offer much more space than a fridge/freezer combo. That space can be used for any number of frozen items, whether you bagged a trophy buck this year, like to stock up on Hot Pockets and juice concentrate, or get your burger and pork from the meat locker. After all, buying meat in bulk, or bagging a game animal can save a lot over the supermarket. The FFN15M5HW is a chest freezer, so it will keep your food's temperature more even than an upright model. And it's even temperature adjustable! Oh, and one more tip: for optimal performance, keep the freezer at least 2/3 full. If you don't have enough food to fill it, put water in empty milk jugs and store them in there.

A tisket, a tasket, way more than one basket

There are three main reasons some people choose upright freezers over chest freezers. The first is that many upright models are automatically-defrosting, while most chest freezers are manual-defrost. But, manual defrost is actually much better for your food, letting it last much longer. The second reason is that upright freezers don't need as much floor space, although that's really only an issue if the freezer will be in crowded areas like a kitchen. If your freezer is going in a garage or basement, chances are it won't be a problem. The third is accessibility. By design, chest freezers sometimes require you to reach down into them and dig through food to find what you're looking for, which can lead to cold hands. But with the FFN15M5HW from Frigidaire, that won't be a problem. You see, four removable baskets grace the freezer so you can keep often-used foods like juice or frozen peas on hand and separate from the foods in the bottom, so your food is organized and easy to find. Since there are two baskets on each of two layers, you have supreme flexibility in food placement.

You can never be too safe

The Frigidaire FFN15M5HW also includes a lock on the door. What would that be good for? Well, if you keep your food in an unlocked garage or better yet, a cabin, you can ensure no one can get to your rump roast. If you've ever seen or read Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," just think how much differently the story would have been if the Who Ham had been locked safely in the FFN15M5HW. Or maybe the lock would come in handy to make sure your kid doesn't throw a Pizza Roll party for all their friends in the middle of the night like on commercials. At any rate, the lock on this Frigidaire freezer helps keep your food a lot safer than it would have been otherwise. And in case you forget the key in the lock, that darn Grinch will be foiled by the auto-ejecting key.
