Frigidaire vs. GE Chest Freezers

Pros...Cons...Quality...Pricing

Chest freezers are a terrific investment for any home or business needed added storage for frozen goods. These come in a variety of shapes, sizes, brand names, styles and price ranges. It's important to know what you're looking for in a chest freezer and the ceiling amount you are willing to spend. However, quality for an affordable price should always be a priority.

Well-known brand names often are a reflection of trusted quality. Brands whose products are well-built, affordable and stand the test of time are precisely what gives a brand name its staying power. When it comes to chest freezers, there are a lot to choose from. However, Frigidaire and General Electric are leaders in the industry and have been common household names for decades. If you;re looking to purchase a chest freezer, you will want to shop around and compare the options available from a variety of brand names. Here, we'll compare Frigidaire and GE freezers.

Frigidaire offers a variety of chest freezer models. These are available in many capacity sizes, so you can find something suited to your particular needs. These range from a 5 cubic foot freezer to 24.9 cubic feet. Select models feature a power light indicator and a drain pan for quick and painless defrosting. Some also feature a removable basket inside the freezer and adjustable temperature controls.

General Electric (GE) also offers a variety of chest freezer models. Like Frigidaire, their models range in capacity from 5 cubic feet to 24.9 cubic feet. Select models offer same or similar features as Frigidaire chest freezers. GE freezers come standard with removable baskets and adjustable temperature controls. Most models offer a manual defrost feature with a removable drain plug.

Since both brands are so similar, it can be difficult to make a final decision based on the basic offerings along. Lets take a closer look at each brand. GE has a reputation for outlasting other brands. That is enough to make me seriously consider this brand! While the internal workings of both brands are said to be similar, it seems to me that if GE outlasts other brands (including Frigidaire) then there must be something superior about the internal workings of their products.

Of course, price is certainly a concern for most of us. A internet search revealed that GE chest freezers seem to cost at least a little bit more than Frigidaires. There is really no substantial savings between the brands; however, considering the superior quality of GE, I would venture to say that, in the long run, you will save plenty of money in maintenance and replacement costs alone, making the added cost of purchasing a GE chest freezer worthwhile.
