What is an upright freezer?
An upright freezer (also known as a vertical freezer or stand up freezer) stores food in a tall, cabinet-style design with shelving and drawers, making it easier to organise and access compared to chest freezers where more bending over is required. At Appliances Online, we stock leading Westinghouse and Haier upright freezers, all backed by free next-day delivery and old appliance removal for hassle-free upgrades.
What is the difference between a chest freezer and an upright freezer?
Chest freezers generally offer more bulk storage capacity, while upright freezers make it easier to organise food thanks to shelving and drawers. Upright models also take up less floor space and often feature frost-free technology. At Appliances Online, we stock both types with side-by-side comparisons, customer reviews, and expert guidance so you can find the right fit for your kitchen or garage.
What is a frost free upright freezer?
A frost free upright freezer automatically circulates air to prevent ice build-up, meaning you won’t need to manually defrost. Models like the Westinghouse frost free upright freezer save time and effort, while maintaining consistent cooling. At Appliances Online, all frost free models come with free delivery and removal, so upgrading is simple.
Why Choose an Upright Freezer Over Other Types?
Upright freezers make everyday storage simpler and more efficient. With adjustable shelving, clear drawers, and door storage, it’s easy to organise and find your food at eye level - no more digging through piles like in a chest freezer. Their vertical design takes up less floor space, making them a practical choice for modern kitchens, laundries, and garages. Many models also feature frost-free technology, so you’ll never need to manually defrost again.
At Appliances Online, you’ll find upright freezers from trusted brands with extras like digital temperature displays, inverter compressors for energy savings, and reversible doors for flexible placement.

Why do we defrost freezers?
Defrosting ensures the appliance runs efficiently by reducing the insulation effect of ice buildup, which can otherwise force the freezer to work harder, leading to increased energy consumption. Since frost takes up room in the freezer, regular defrosting also allows you to make the most of your storage space. Frost removal also means you don’t have to rely on a vacuum sealer to prevent freezer burn, which can affect food quality, and gives you the chance to clean and organise the interior for better food safety and hygiene.
How to manually defrost upright freezer?
First, unplug it and remove all contents, storing them in a cool place. Allow the ice to melt naturally, and place towels or a basin at the bottom to catch dripping water. You can speed it up by putting a fan facing the open freezer or placing pans of hot water inside. Once the ice has melted, clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and water or a solution of mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before turning the freezer back on and restocking it.
Frost-Free vs. Manual Defrost vs Automatic Defrost
Manual defrost freezers require periodic shut-downs and manual ice removal. They offer more stable temperatures and energy efficiency at the cost of a little hands-on maintenance. There are also automatic defrost freezers that periodically warm up to melt away frost without user intervention, but this may cause slight fluctuations in temperature.
Frost-free models use a fan to circulate air and prevent ice formation, offering the highest convenience by eliminating the need for manual defrosting. This air circulation contributes to more stable temperature control throughout the unit, which can also lower your overall energy consumption by maintaining more uniform cooling.
How often should the seals on an upright freezer be checked?
The seal, or gasket, of an upright freezer plays a crucial role in its efficiency by keeping cold air locked in. Over time, seals can degrade due to wear or lack of cleaning, leading to energy loss and increased costs. To ensure optimal performance, you should inspect the seal every twelve months. A simple test involves closing a piece of paper in the door; if the paper pulls out with no resistance, it’s probably time to replace it. Regular checks and maintenance of the seal can prevent inefficiency and contribute to a longer appliance lifespan.
How do I secure an upright freezer to prevent tipping over?
Most tall freezer units these days come with anti-tipping technology. However, you need to secure it properly to ensure it stays firmly in place.
First, install the anti-tipping device provided with your standing freezer. Start by finding the centre line of your appliance, and then align the anti-tipping bracket with this line on your wall. A helpful tip here is to place a ten-millimetre thick timber spacer between the stabiliser and the wall for alignment and stability.
Before going forward, check the wall area for any hidden electrical cables or water pipes to avoid any potential hazards. Once you’ve ensured the area is safe, you can secure the stabiliser to the floor using the five screws that come in your accessory pack. If you’re attaching it to a concrete floor, remember to use suitable plugs for a firm hold.
