> Do you have a chest fridge as the main or only fridge in your house? Tell us about your experience?
I grew up with a chest freezer in my house as a child. I never had any problems with it as a kid, I didn't need to get kilos of meat out of it, because I was a child and my parents cooked food for me. It doubled up as a kitchen countertop, but you'd have to keep it clear or you couldn't use it, which is a usability shit.
Did you? Tell me about your experience.
I'll say the real issues with chest freezers is that unless you design your kitchen around them they end up taking more space.
The best use IMHO for a chest freezer is for long-term storage of food that you occasionally need to use. I know people who use them for storing extra food, they buy huge amounts in bulk and even running the freezer 24/7 they save a lot of food money doing this. Most people (myself included) probably don't have the luxury of space.
> I feel my comment was just a response to the article text. Particularly the paragraph stating: "So - WHY mediocre food-spoiling fridges are being made? WHO makes decisions to manufacture them? Who awards them "stars" and other misleading awards? Why people continue to buy and use energy wasting and food-spoiling devices? Does anyone care about understanding anything?"
Yeah, the article in question is short sighted and I disagree with many of the points the author makes. Usually I'll quote the text I'm responding to, instead of the article in general. This makes it less likely for some random internet nob head to come along and misinterpret what you're saying ;).
> I would like all fridges to be as efficient as chest fridges medium houses, elderly people, families, disabled people, short people and people who can never remember what they have in their fridge.
No, I disagree
> I think they are impractical for small houses
Yes, I agree
> I think they are a niche product that is only suitable for a tiny proportion of people.
Yes, I agree
*But they're still useful!*
For individual use, sure they're a tiny proportion, but what about industrial use, catering?
They're useful for specific situations and poo-pooing them _ENTIRELY_ because of some issues is a short sighted approach that I see EVERYWHERE in real life and online, and it boggles my mind.
You can say your post doesn't say they're useless for everyone, but I would say it heavily implies it.
> PS. On a personal note my quick comment seems to have stressed you out so I'll endeavour to write clear non-gear grinding comments
You shouldn't change how you write because I took umbrage with it, that's an issue with the internet today, don't change who you are just because some arsehole online didn't like what you wrote!
> and you should probably get off the internet for a bit
You should probably stop telling people what to do.
