First post go easy.
Until midnight tonight.
Been using it for nearly 2 years.
10/10 would buy again.
Good reviews. Might get it from HN then using my unused Amex $100 cashback. Just need to get the cart to the $300 mark.
Even better, nice one!
First rule of first post on OzBargain: Don't ask people to go easy.
Second rule of OzBargain: Profit???
Thanks for the tip. Profit: 276-220.8= 55.2.
If you were referring to the profit over the product's lifespan, that would be subjective to the efficiency of organizing your grocery shops.
No, it was a joke based on the usual steps that people talk about on OzBargain, with the last one being "profit".
Good chest freezer, had one for about a year and is going strong
+1. Bought mine in Jan. Still going strong.
Cool story
Now what's cooler than being cool?
HiSense website = rubbish.
Notable lack of power consumption figures.
Notable lack of manual.
website seemed borked on 2 different browsers when I tried. Thanks. Still no power consumtion figures to speak about in the manual.
Have you considered referring it to the ACCC?
This chest freezer will set you back approx $60-$70 yearly in electricity costs, as for lack of manual: open, add items, close. Hope this helps.
If energy savings were calculated according to cost it would rarely be financially advantageous to pay extra for the energy-saving model in the short to medium term.
Saying that, I've heard chest freezers are better for frequent use since the cold air can't escape as easily when opened.

Actually this is what I had in mind for this chest freezer, but it's probably not for everyone, also note the drain hole at the bottom. Apparently if you use a chest freezer as a fridge it will be prone to moisture build up inside. Will see how we go. And you are right: it's because it opens on top that the cold air won't escape like it falls out of a front opening freezer.
@Hibernian77: That's interesting! Good luck with it. It will be interesting to see how much energy it uses.
@Hibernian77: I like this idea. The site says a main difference is the insulation; do you think we could just add more insulation (somehow) to a fridge to make it more efficient?

That's something to look into for sure. Especially considering there are now spray on insulation solutions. Your fridge is the household item that uses most energy at any time (after aircon though in summer). Converting a chest freezer to fridge will drop the yearly running cost to under $10 as it will only need to run a few minutes every hour. Our current GVA fridge is running 25-30 minutes every hour. Note that most energy will be saved by opening the top lid rather than front door, where the cold air will immediately fall out of the fridge, triggering the thermostat. In our family of 4 I think the fridge is more open than closed during the day haha.
Maybe it's me not reading something correctly but I get:
"This code has expired."
Sorry updated voucher code to the correct one
Thanks!
chest already frozen.
Sounds like you might have frostbite.
that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I have had this for about 9 months. No complaints yet
Just wondering how low the temperature could be set to? like -18C? Thanks
Rated -18..Eichi
Cool, mate
Just bought one, thanks Hibernian77
Ordered a larger one of these yesterday showing in store click and collect at Casula only to receive a call today to say none in stock. So if you don't want your money tied up while a refund is processed, I suggest you call ahead.
Having said that TGG Casula always has problems.
Dont forget cashrewards 1.25%.. price come down to $217
can i pick it up myself or i need some help? is it too hervy or too big for me to put it to my my Kluger car?
I was about to ask the same. I think without packaging is okay.
Refer to appliances online website for packaging info.

thanks, looks like it is ok.
Ordered, thanks OP👍
Will this fit in a Honda Jazz?
Cheers op, I got a C&C in. Hopefully gets honored tmr, although I was a bit late on this deal at 5hrs in. Fingers crossed
Got confirmation for pick up today :) Thanks again op!
Ideally a chest freezer will be transported in an upright position. Although laying it down flat shouldn't be a problem, if so it's best to put it with compressor side down. Will fit easy in a wagon or Honda Jazz. Also once in position it's best to leave it off overnight so the refrigerant can settle before turning on.
Thanks, so helpful :)
got one, thanks OP!
I can vouch for the quality. Been using it from last 6 months.
Also comes with 3*Years warranty
