Most urban housewives don't need a freestanding freezer. Today's home appliance market can offer a full-fledged refrigerator with a vertical freezer, that is, a universal solution, as they say, two in one.
Such specific equipment is bought, as a rule, by people who are engaged in the preparation of products of their own production (garden, kitchen garden) or who buy for future use. That is, we grow, prepare, freeze and store ourselves, or, for example, once a month we go to some wholesale warehouse, buy and save for further preservation.
Camera Type
Also, many are wondering which freezer is better - vertical or horizontal? Several factors must be taken into account here. If you have a separate pantry where you can place this kind of equipment specifically for long-term storage of food, then the horizontal option is quite appropriate. Atthose who are cramped in square meters, and therefore a rather big "chest" will occupy the lion's share of the kitchen, it is better to stay on the vertical type, besides, it is more versatile in terms of design, and is perceived as an ordinary refrigerator.
In addition, you need to consider the type of storage products. For bulk and meat, the first type of equipment is better, and for fragile and fastidious - the second. Which freezer (vertical or horizontal) is the best solution depends on you and your needs, but the first option is much more in demand and is considered a universal option.
Manufacturer
Smart equipment of this kind is produced not only by foreign, but also by domestic manufacturers. The most popular premium models are produced by the German brand Liebherr. Despite the high price, the company's products are enviably popular. Here we have the reliability of cameras, quality, excellent service and an abundance of useful features. Among the latter, one can note the presence of a cold preservation system, self-diagnosis, almost total control over the temperature inside the chamber, and other useful "chips". Most owners leave only positive feedback about Liebherr products. Yes, the brand's equipment is expensive, but it has served faithfully for a very long time.
Also in this segment, the Bosch brand showed itself perfectly. The models of this company use the most modern technologies. Many freezers(household, vertical, horizontal) brands have antibacterial protection in their set, which for a good half of users is a critical moment at the time of purchase. Some owners in their reviews complain about the extremely rare, but too expensive repair, which is to blame for the problem with the availability of spare parts. But the whole picture as a whole inspires optimism, especially if you look at the problems of the middle and lower price levels.
Middle class
The venerable Samsung, Zanussi and Indesit occupied a niche in the middle class. The lineup of these brands is wildly popular and filled all the shelves of domestic appliance stores. Of course, the products of these companies have problems with quality, functionality, and so on, but ubiquitous service centers can easily fix any problem, and at a more than affordable price. They speak about the equipment of these companies in different ways: there are angry comments, but there are also exceptionally positive responses, and about the same line.
You can also note the little-known Chinese manufacturers, which almost fall short of the level of these three magnates, but year after year the situation is clearly changing for the better (for the Middle Kingdom). So, for example, the freezer (vertical) Leran FSF 092 W made a lot of noise, overtaking analogues from Samsung and Zanussi not only in terms of sales, but also in terms of quality. So sometimes it makes sense to take a closer look at Chinese models.
Domestic producers
Among domestic manufacturers, we can note companies"Biryusa", "Saratov", "Pozis" (Pozis) and the Belarusian "Atlant". For example, the Biryusa (vertical) freezer has become an indispensable (and inexpensive) option for many to give or any other suburban housing. The products of domestic manufacturers are quite reliable, and repairs do not cost a pretty penny, as is the case with venerable brands. The Atlant vertical freezer is very common in medium and small stores, also due to the widespread and picky service. Feedback on domestic equipment is diverse: there are both negative and positive responses. But for the most part, people understand that for such a low price, one should not expect any miracles from the camera, and they cope with the tasks set.
The following is a list of the most interesting offers from different brands. All the vertical models described below have distinguished themselves by their quality component, received awards at exhibitions and are enviably popular with domestic consumers.

On the top of the device, there is a convenient operation and LCD display, which displays the internal temperature and other data.
Camera Features

Despite such modest requests, the device has a high freezing capacity - about 10-12 kg per day. In addition, the presence of two independent cold accumulators and an insulating structure will help keep food during a power outage (up to 30 hours), which is also not uncommon in our territory.

Model ATLANT M 7184-003 is a modern and reliable vertical freezer from a Belarusian company. With its very good capacity (240 liters), the price in retail stores does not exceed 20,000 rubles. More venerable analogues with the same volume are much more expensive than Atlanta.

Biryusa 146SN
Biryusa 146SN vertical freezer is a kind of answer to Western analogues. Among our compatriots, the model enjoys enviable popularity. Here, of course, not only the price played a role, but also the functionality of the unit.
The 146SN series is equipped with a No Frost system and has a decent chamber volume of 200 liters, as well as clear electronic controls. In addition, if there is such a need, then you can move the door from the left side to the right, moreover, easily and without special tools.
Camera highlights
Naturally, in terms of appearance and abundance of plastic, the model loses to Western counterparts, but looking at the price tag, "Biryusa" can ask for some shortcomings. In addition, the camera freezes very well.
The manufacturer, as a pleasant bonus for the domestic consumer, announced the presence of a technology that makes the unit extremely resistant to power surges, which is not uncommon for private houses and even apartments. Of course, such a control unit is largelyprotects the "stuffing" of the freezer from power surges, but it's better to play it safe and get a stabilizer.

In case of disconnection from the network, the device will be able to maintain the proper temperature for 18 hours. In addition, the model is distinguished by low power consumption (class A) and low noise (about 40-45 dB).
Given the quite democratic cost of the unit, it can be considered a good alternative to the domestic and Belarusian industry. And the very low difference in price (more expensive by 2-4 thousand rubles) is compensated by a more attractive appearance, high-quality "stuffing" and less noisy operation.
Model benefits:
- versatile and comfortablecamera dimensions;
