CHIQ vertical hybrid freezer—good buy?
Apr 4^th, 2024 at 9:30pm

Was at the Good Guys in the local big smoke looking at fridge+freezers.

Realised they took way too much room so decided the fridge I had was fine and I just needed an upright freezer.

There is a CHIQ CSH311NWL3 Vertical hybrid freezer. This could go in the side passage that opens into the kitchen. So not far away. Present chest freezer would go into the cidery and be used to store apples etc.

Not a lot of room for a decent kitchen even after major renovations.

Anyone know if the CHIQ brand is any good? It does have a 5 year warranty.

I was in a room.
It wasn't just any ordinary room.
It was a special room, because I was in it.
What was I doing in that room?
I was identifying as a cat.
There was a person outside who said I am a human and can not identify as a Cat.
He said 'therefore you cease to exist as a cat in that room'.
Did I really exist as a cat in that room, of failed to exist??

I just thought I should share this with you as I'm sure you've all being dying to hear from me and my life's borings and dulls in life. Wink

OK will go back to Good Guys and look at other vertical freezers. My chest freezer is old so less energy efficient than a current freezer. Any recommendations?

Bought them for my brewing when I was doin that. They are really good, come with a 5 year or so warranty, they make something like 6,000,000 units a year.

Reply #7 - Apr 5^th, 2024 at 9:00am More freezer-only or units that can be fridge or freezer than I thought, e,g: https://www.eliteappliances.com.au/product/westinghouse-180-litre-white-vertical... That is a bit small but OK.

Westinghouse are not what they used to be.
Not at all. I would not buy one of those.
