Is an upright or vertical freezer the way to go, or is a chest model the true treasure? Our expert testers give every freezer a thorough workout in our labs to help find the models that:

• are best at keeping optimum temperature
• have the best temperatures to keep your food safe
• have a good range of shelves and compartments
• are the most energy-efficient.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
